Chapter 6

Hey guys....

Sorry I haven't updated lately. Things have been kind of crazy the past couple of days and I took some time off reading to figure out what my next steps are going to be in life. But I finished Chapter 6 and it was definitely one of the more serious chapters. It was about nagging and how to get things done without him tuning you out. Here are the lessons from the chapter...


~ When you nag, he tunes you out. But when you speak with your actions, he pays attention.
~ When a man takes a woman for granted, he still looks for reassurance that she is still "right there."
~ When the routine becomes predictable, he's more likely to give you the same type of love he has for his mother - and the odds he will take you for granted increase.
~ Negative attention is still attention. It lets a man know he has you right where he wants you.
~ When you treat him casually as though he is a friend, he'll come your way. Because he wants things to be romantic, but he also "wants" to be your partner.
~ A little distance combined with the appearance of self-control makes him nervous that he may be losing you.
~ A man takes a woman for granted when he's interested, but will no longer go out of his way.
~ When you nag, you become the problem, and he deals with it by tuning you out. But when you don't nag, he deals with the problem.
~ If you take his chores away from him and praise someone else for doing them, he will want his chores back.
~ When you nag, he sees weakness.
~ He sees an emotional woman as more of a pushover.
~ In the same way that familiarity breeds contempt, a slightly aloff demeanor can often renew his prospect.
~ He will forget what he has in you - unless you remind him.


About halfway thru the book and getting so excited to finish it. Hope you all are loving the updates... I will be loaning out the book after I am done if anyone wants to read it! Love you!

And of course... the quote of the night....

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
- Marilyn Monroe
