Okay gentlemen, I am not going to start preaching at you, but just in case you don't know how much a hug is worth. If your girl comes home one day and has had a rough time at work or if something has caused her grief, try this. Just offer her a big hug and tell her that you understand and feel bad that she has had a bad day and that you are sorry that she did. say nothing else and for pete's sake DO NOT try to fix her problem or do anything about it. just let her know that you hope she has a better day tomorrow, or that you hope things will get better. Just a good hug and a couple of words to acknowledge what she is feeling. She may snap a bit more and even may start unloading everything in detail. You don't even have to pay 100% attention or really even care about the episode that has caused her to act this way. Don't interupt with some idea of how you can make it better and remember do not try to fix it.that is not what she wants. trust me on this Just listen or pretend to listen. and when she is done, one more hug is all you need to say or do. Just give this a try one time and see what happens. You all think that women are so complicated, but your answers are what complicates her feelings. If this does not work than all I can say is you tried, but I bet it will be rewarded in a good way. (if you know what I mean) If it doesn't work for you, well at least you tried it and you can always come visit the LuvShak. And if it works, good for you. Of course you can come visit us too, but now you will have the knowledge of what a hug is really worth. It goes a long long way!
Let me know what you think. (only if you try it first)
Have a good week.
