Top 10 things I learned in relationships

1. A man's self is defined through his ability to achieve results.


2. A woman's sense of self is defines through her feelings and the quality of her relationships.


3. Just as men are afraid of receiving, women are afraid of giving.


4. When a man is silent, it is easy for a woman to imagine the worst.


5. It is very difficult for a man to differentiate empathy and sympathy. He hates to be pitied.


6. Even when a man is succeeding in supporting a woman, she may become more upset.


7. When negative feelings are suppressed, positive feelings become suppressed as well, and love dies.


8. Men argue for the right to be free, while women argue for the right to be upset. Men want space, while women want understanding.


9. It puts too much pressure on a man to make him the only source of love and support.


10. Fulfilling a primary need is required before one is able to fully receive and appreciate the other kinds of love.
