[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure everyone has a different opinion but for me it's 2 things.

1.  Don't hide your feelings behind macho BS.  If something is going on that's bothering you, I want to be with someone who can talk about it and not keep it inside and let it fester or build up into something bigger 
2.  Understand my emotional needs as well.  I work a stressful and at times, mentally exhausting, job.   I love that I can vent to DH and [b]he knows what to[/b] do or [b]say[/b].

Everyone has different levels of it.  I have friends who definitely have a higher emotional level than I do.  [/quote]

That's the hardest part for men IMO. The way we respond when women need emotional support is well intentioned, but often women perceive it as wrong. Men aren't  emotional communicator. IMO this is why sometimes we just stay quiet and respond as if we are walking on eggshells because a no response is superior to a bad response. But I'm other cases a non response is seen as not caring.[/quote]

It is n't about know what to say, to men there is nothing to say. Woman that complain about work, work drama need to do some serious self reflection. Unless you are saving the world, or curing cancer, there is almost no reason to be emotionally attached to your job. The amount of emotional energy wasted when it comes to work is dumbfounding to men and are sitting there saying to themselves it would be nice if you put 10% of that energy toward our relationship. The continuously putting up with absolute BS at work or not letting coworkers who should fail, fail, is insanity. You don't need to do everyone elses work because they didn't or pick up there slack, or change your schedule to meet everyone elses. It is a means to end, nothing more & nothing less. Your company does not care about you, and will not hesitate to lay you off tomorrow if it makes business sense. They don't deserve what woman given them and for some reason woman feel indebted to them.[/quote]
