SEC13 WK3 "Is drama only for women or is it also for men?"

When they speak ill of me without foundation and without reason, and accuse me of something that is simply a demand instead of a normal request, I usually draw attention to the fact and express my thoughts. In life, it is important to learn how to defend oneself, as people, even partners, can lose their way and speak without thinking. Love involves thinking positively, not negatively. Love doesn't mean shouting or demanding, but persuading and reasoning. Love is based on reason and seeks to win the other over, not lose them. However, the nature of upbringing and family sometimes leads us to fall into the same behaviors that make us upset.


No, I don't believe the opposite sex is more dramatic. Often, they remain silent, which can be more complicated to handle than if they were to speak. I've tried to talk to them, but sometimes it's a disaster as their requests are vague and related to seeking a perfection that is rarely achieved. Therefore, they choose silence, while I tend to express myself more forcefully. We've learned to understand each other this way over the course of 25 years, each with our own approach. The important thing is that peace is found in treating each other well.

My wife is a doctor, so if she sees me unwell, she cares and can talk about it without any issues. She is willing to help without complaint, as she sees it as part of her personal commitment. She has supported me over the years, so I am sure she is an exceptional person. In general, I don't usually discuss my illnesses with everyone; I prefer to address them privately.

No, my intention is to remove drama from situations. I talk until they are resolved and express my thoughts. On the other hand, my wife tends to be quieter, and though she used to be surprised that I could read her thoughts, we have learned to handle difficult situations efficiently. We are different, but we work together to minimize moments of tension.
