What Stupid Things Are You
Apologizing For?
I want to challenge you to go “cold turkey” for 30 days. Stop apologizing for stupid things.
What stupid things, you ask? Here’s a
quick list off the top of my head.
Do you make any of these apologies on a regular basis?
- Apologize for her being mad
- Apologize if she is upset about anything
- Apologize for her bad news
- Apologize for working late
- Apologize for wanting sex
- Apologize for being attracted to her
- Apologize for just wanting to help
- Apologize for being a man
- Apologize for wanting time with your friends
- Apologize for wanting affection
- Apologize for not being able to read and listen to her at the same
time
- Apologize for touching or kissing her
- Apologize for waking up with a raging erection
- Apologize for not reading her mind
- Apologize for not knowing what is bothering her
You Have to Stop Saying Stuff Like This!
This is what it sounds
like.
“I’m sorry if this doesn’t make you happy”
“I’m sorry that me just trying to help you makes you mad”
“I’m sorry if I said something wrong”
“I’m sorry if wanting a
kiss upset you”
“I’m sorry you’re uncomfortable when I initiate sex”
“I’m sorry your parents are absolutely freaking nuts and you feel like a victim and controlled by them.”
I’m not saying you should stop being a kind, compassionate, empathetic, caring and considerate man.
Do you think you would notice anymore if she wasn’t apologizing?
I think not. But that’s going to be hard, isn’t it?
That’s because some of us tend to apologize for anything and everything
– even if we’ve done nothing wrong. Have you ever had a friend like that?
I’m saying you should stop with the “apologitis”. There are much better, more attractive ways to handle those issues.
The truth is you’re really not sorry for those things.
You’re just saying so because that’s what “nice husbands” do.
You’re hoping maybe she’ll say she’s sorry too. Maybe she will
appreciate you more.
Don’t do that. I challenge you not to apologise for thirty days. Can you do it?
Email me and tell me how it
feels.
I predict you will feel liberated.
And you just might hear your first apology from her!
If you're tired of being an overly apologetic husband, then below are some options for you to change right away...
As Teddy Roosevelt said:
“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”
I simply LOVE doing this work with men because it lights up my life to watch you charge back into your life with a grin on your face and swagger in your step.
Lotta love
