However, if you ask these same men if they like to feel needed, you'll find that many of them think that feeling needed is an important part of the relationship. Therefore, you need to learn how to make the man in your life feel needed without having him think of you as "needy." It's a balancing act, but it's really not all that difficult. Keep in mind that many men like being in control of the relationship. And they like taking care of the women in their lives. However, they resent having to do everything. This may not even be apparent until the day that the man is feeling under the weather or is a little overwhelmed by his job and lashes out at the woman in his life for being too "needy" and making him do all the work. It's important to understand that men don't want someone who can't fend for themselves in their lives. Sure, they don't mind taking care of the woman, but they don't want to be the sole decision-maker. What they want is for the woman to show that she can step up to the plate when needed and do what has to be done. The man isn't going to want the woman to take control too often, however. But he wants to know that she can when necessary. It just makes him feel better to know that if the chips were down, she'd be there to 'man up' for him. What you need to do is be observant. If the man in your life is happy taking care of you and the family, that's fine. Let him do it. Make sure that you can tell when he's getting stressed out, though. When you see that he's starting to get a little frazzled, take some initiative. It doesn't have to be anything big or major, either. It can be a couple of little things, here and there, that you can do without being told and without telling him that you've done so. For example, you might notice that he's left something on the floor. Just pick it up and put it where it belongs. Or you notice that his car was low on gas when you drove it so you stop and fill up the tank. No big deal, but he'll notice that you've done those little things and it'll make him feel appreciative towards you. It also won't make him feel that you're moving in on his territory. When a woman shows a man that he's needed, it makes him feel as if he's part of a team. However, when a woman appears to be needy, it does the opposite it makes the man feel less like a partner and more like a parent, and that's not a good way to build a relationship. It's not that hard to take the trash out without being asked to, or put the dishes away once in a while, or even bring him breakfast in bed, telling him that he deserves to be taken care of, occasionally. A woman who can let her partner take care of her because her partner wants to feel needed is more likely to keep that partner as opposed to a woman who can't even figure out which restaurant they should eat at. It doesn't take much effort to go from being needy to letting your partner know that he's needed but it's worth it to make the change. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Kathy Stafford, Relationship Coach, I show singles how to get married and couples how to STAY married Do you want more from your relationship?
