LOVE, Kloudiia

I happened to be in this spot, overhearing two ladies deep in their conversation while in the queue. Yeah, we were all in the Ladies and I had just finished my own business and drying my hands.

Here’s a short recap of what Woman A and Woman B said that night:

(please insert the usual greetings here like “Hi, how are you” “Fine thank you” that sort of stuff yourself ok)

A: You know, the doctor has been telling him to mind his diet, but what can I do if he refuses to listen? He’s a man, I mean he should be responsibile for his own health. I don’t want to keep telling him not to eat this and that and he still eat, I don’t want to be nagging at him, you know what I mean?

B: Ya ya, I know what you mean. You’re right, it’s his own health, he should know how to take care of himself. No you shouldn’t keep telling him what to do, that’s not your job!

A: Ya exactly…

That was what I managed to capture within that short less than 60 minutes time. I mean, unless I keep wiping my hands with the tissue until it tore into many little pieces to finish an entire chapter of their conversation, but you know how well-mannered I am not to do such eavesdropping, don’t you?

Meanwhile, I was controlling a strong urge to walk up to them and say “Well, men are always boys, they don’t grow up. So you gotta change a method of asking him so he can listen!” and leave them there before sashaying out of the restroom.

Nah, I didn’t do that.

In any case, I’ve heard enough to tell you guys some things about men, in a relationship!

Or have I said it already?

Yes, men don’t grow up! No matter how old they are, regardless if they are already a father of two or if he’s the CEO of a mutli-million corporation.

Throw them a toy and you’ll see them gleefully picking up and analysing how best to tear it apart and fixing the pieces back again. Sometimes literally, sometimes not. The only way to tell a small boy and a big boy apart is how much that toy cost, and probably the size too.

So, what if men are boys. What if men refuse to grow up?

We all have a child inside us. We should have a child inside us. This little child could be the one who’s keeping you sane in this world where hypocrisy and scheming is abundant. This child gives us hope and dreams, makes us realise the importance of love and giving, and also retains our humanity and keeps our conscience in check.

As a child, I’m sure you have dreams, don’t you? We need to have dreams, and dare to dream, for it is the first step towards any greatness in life you can achieve later, by turning dreams to reality.

Therefore, it’s good that men choose not to grow up then, isn’t it?

Well, depends on how you look at it. If he is sulking or throwing tantrums like a child when he should know it’s unpleasant behaviour, then as his partner, you can give him a neat little spanking to restore law and order at home.

But if he’s just being cheeky and naughty, then take that as adding spices in your relationship!

Don’t be surprised too that they will get jealous when your child gets more attention from mommy than daddy does! So big boy daddy then find ways to vie for mommy’s time and affection! Thus, a mini love-power struggle starts acting out at home! Ha Who do you think will win?

Going back to the conversation again. So how can Woman A get her husband to listen to her and start taking care of his own health? There could be a few reasons why he’s not listening to her, like lack of self-discipline, don’t find it compelling to diet now etc. Or it could simply be him wanting attention from his wife too?

Whatever it is, there are ways to get him moving. Want to know? Get my book, because it’s one of the secrets I’ve given you to have a loving and lasting relationship.
