Hey Guys,
It’s the
weekendddddddddddddddd yesssssssss!!!!!!!! I love it, I had a longggg week and
I have been looking forward to the rest. I come at you today with a touchy
topic but I am going to say it because a lot of us need to hear it.
I was watching my CP 24 channel to check the weather
forecast and saw the author of the book “He is Just Not that into You” Greg
Behrendt. While getting ready for work I decided to give him a listen to hear
from a male perspective why men sometimes do the things they do.
Whether it is a marriage, long term relationship, just
dating or courting there are always some issues on either side. So, I got the
book and I have been reading it and OMGGGGG it is eye opening!!!!!!!!!!!!
Girls, ladies, I am not taking it as gospel but this is the
real deal, it speaks volumes on valuing yourself, your time and demanding a certain
type of treatment from your partner. It speaks about not settling and setting
standards and sticking to them.
It has brought me to a different place!!! I mean I have
always had my standards but now I feel like if this can be said from the mouth
of a man then we should listen.
Seee if you are WOMAN enough for the truth, it might shake
the foundation of your relationships for the good.
I have taken some AMAZING MUST READ quotes from the book and placed them
below, Happy reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“A man who wants to make a relationship work will move mountains to
keep the
woman he loves”
― Greg Behrendt
woman he loves”
― Greg Behrendt
“If he’s not calling you, it’s because you are not on his mind. If he
creates expectations for you, and then doesn’t follow through on little things,
he will do same for big things. Be aware of this and realize that he’s okay
with disappointing you. Don’t be with someone who doesn’t do what they say
they’re going to do. If he’s choosing not to make a simple effort that would
put you at ease and bring harmony to a recurring fight, then he doesn’t respect
your feelings and needs. “Busy” is another word for “asshole.” “Asshole” is
another word for the guy you’re dating. You deserve a fcking phone call.”

ReplyDeletePowerful words Debra!
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to reading your blog posts.
"You have one asshole. You don't need another." If I read that when I was age 19-21 I would have saved SO much time, tears and heartache. Maybe would've gotten with Mr.S sooner. ::sigh:: Hindsight is 20/20 indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this Debs.
Wow this was such an awakening... thank you for sharing...
ReplyDeleteNice post...
ReplyDeletetoo many times we often make excuses for the actions or lack of actions for men. too many times we look at the big picture of knowing we deserve better but look at the background picture of "he's good sometimes". but are we in a sometimes relationship? then why should we accept good treatment sometimes? nothing is perfect yes, but when someone is into you even when there is an argument he/she will respectfully resolve it. most importantly we as women should never be ashamed of being single, because single or alone doesn't equate to being lonely. we need to love ourselves b4 we will truly find love, because until this is achieved we wont know what we deserve and what we dont deserve.
