Chicken Soup For The Heart Part 1

The Book
"Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"
- John Gray

I particularly liked John Gray's analysis on why "Men go to their caves" (MN should be able to "appreciate" at the same level as me)
The situation is where he becomes "increasingly distant, forgetful, unresponsive" and "incapable of giving her the attention and feeling he normally gives"
The reason: Unlike the Venusian who sought relief by talking out her problem, a Martian kept it to himself and mulls over it. Or possibly to find themselves where they feel that "too much intimacy robs them of their power" - the need to "regulate" the closeness.
Aftermath: Hopefully a more "rejuvenated and loving" person

I never used to understand this need for his sudden pulling-away and the sudden closeness.
Now that i do, it brings understanding to a deeper level.
And at the very least, in this walk, i'm never alone.

My set of solutions.
My prepared mind and heart.

The toughest has to be the "wait" and the million dollar question to "who/when/how to break the silence"

Bringing myself back to the true reason for this entry:
I foresee it coming soon.
