Clingy Signs (How To NOT Suck the Life Out Of Your Partner)
Clingy signs are quite clear to a person on the outside looking in on a relationship, but it’s sometimes more difficult when you are one of the two people participating in it. So when does needing support from your partner cross the line and become just plain annoying? First, let’s back up for a minute. So why is it so bad to be clingy and needy in the first place? I can sum it up in one word…..
Are You A Giver Or A Taker?
Are you a giver or a taker in relationships? (Go ahead and decide your answer, I will wait….)
Got it? Great!
Now, for the next question. Which one SHOULD you be?
That was actually a trick question. Sorry to do that to you, but stay with me here.
The correct answer is: neither one.
You should be GIVING and TAKING. Think of it as a bank account. You put things in there on a regular basis, then you take things out when you need them. Because you are always adding to what’s in the account, there will always be something in there and the account will never be empty. Relationships work on the same basic principle.
I know this is a very simplistic way of looking at it, but it sort of pares it all down and makes it very clear at the same time.
How To Get Your Husband To Help Around The House
How to get your husband to help around the house is probably one of the biggest questions wives face today. When society shifted and women went to work outside of the home, it is unfortunate that most of the “domestic” tasks remained their duty as well. Most men saw no problem with this. This was mostly because they had never tried to hold down an outside job plus be a maid, cook, chauffeur, nurse, and nanny at the same time.
Luckily, today’s average man is a lot more sympathetic to our plight, and many of them are top notch at jumping in there and doing their share. However, there are still those out there who need a little motivation.
Back To School Time Is Stressful For Your Wife
It is that time of the year again….back to school. This probably means nothing to you (as a man) but means a whole new set of responsibilities for your wife (as a woman).
All those little ones (and not so little ones) need new clothes, backpacks, supplies, etc. It means PTO meetings and sports practices, school activities and bake sales.
If you have a little one who is starting Kindergarten (as do I) it can be especially stressful for your wife. Then there’s the big kids (who think they are adults) who are off to college. I can’t even imagine what that will feel like one day. But I digress……
Mothers usually handle the bulk of these responsibilities, right? So what your wife needs is some stress relief, and you are just the person to give it to her.
The obvious thing for you to do is simply take some of these responsibilities off her, but that is not always possible due to work schedules and other issues. So here are some other ideas that might help.
How To Show Love To Your Wife (How To Hit a Homerun!)
How to show love to your wife? This is not as difficult as some men make it. Time and attention covers about ninety percent of what she needs and wants from you. Let me give you a personal example.
The other day my husband called me on his way home from work (as usual) and we discussed our plans for the evening. His exact words were, “I’m stopping to pick up some milk, then I’m coming home to pay attention to you.”
HOME RUN, BABY!
And I told him so. I ALWAYS tell him when says or does the right thing. Especially when it’s EXACTLY the right thing.

Makes me think about the Pat Monahan song called “Her Eyes” where he says, “Sometimes I think she’s truly crazy…and I love it.” But I digress….
