How to Listen When Your Partner Tells You What They Need

financial_influencer

Let’s just call it what it is: most of us are terrible at listening—especially when our spouse or partner sits us down and says those words nobody wants to hear: “Can we talk?” Suddenly your chest tightens, your mind races, and you start constructing a wall of defenses before you even know what’s coming. You want to explain yourself. You want to fix it. Or, honestly, you just want the conversation to end so you can go back to pretending everything’s fine.

“I honestly do not like my wife.”

We’ve been married for nine years—thirteen together—and honestly, everything we’ve been through has just worn me down to the point where I don’t even like her anymore.

Whenever she calls, I cringe. I put on a fake smile, and trying to act interested when we talk just feels gross. The truth is, I feel more at peace when she’s not around. But at the same time, I think I still love her… I’m not sure if it’s just because we’ve been together so long or if I’m clinging to the version of her I used to know.

It’s confusing, this mix of love and resentment.

How do I tell my friend he’s unlikely to date an “influencer-type” model?

I’ve known my friend since college. He’s never really dated or shown much interest in relationships until recently, after I broke up with my long-term girlfriend and started dating again. Now he talks more about women—but only about the ones who look like Instagram models.

My friend is an awesome guy: funny, smart, thoughtful, a great cook, and he has a good job. But he’s not conventionally attractive. To be blunt, the women he’s interested in usually want guys who fit a certain “look,” and he just doesn’t.

Sometimes I want to laugh, sometimes I want to disappear. Sometimes, honestly, I want to answer with brutal honesty, because nobody ever talks about this stuff for real.

So here it is.
