What Men Don’t Tell: Please Take Care Of Yourself

In a society where the problems with being overweight and obesity are growing each year, it would seem a little odd that the one thing men don't tell their women is that they wish she would take care of herself. Unfortunately, men are also not known for their ability to communicate well. So while it might be how they feel, it isn't what they say, until the problem builds and they blurt out something that comes across as being mean and insensitive.

Women are more naturally caregiving than men. Although men are also often attracted to women in the caregiving fields, such as school teachers and nurses, they would love their caregiving women to take care of themselves too. Many homes are double income homes where the woman goes to work every day, takes care of the house, the kids, the shopping, the driving and the bill paying - to name just a few responsibilities. The man goes to work, comes home, may do a few dishes and play with the kids before going to bed and starting all over the next day. However, the woman does more in one 24 hour period, always putting herself and her needs last.

He wishes you would take care to get some exercise, eat well, get your hair cut and take a day off from the kids, but he doesn't always understand that he needs to offer support to get the things done that you would be doing when you're getting your hair cut and you're at the gym.

This is where you can take the bull by the horns and address the issue yourself. Taking care of yourself is not only important to his level of attraction, but also to your health, wellness and self-esteem. Research demonstrates that we feel better about ourselves when we exercise and keep our weight within normal limits. So you aren't just taking care of your marriage or relationship, but also of yourself and your future.

Talk to your partner about your desire to stay in shape, or get into shape and how you'll need his active support to get that done. Put together a schedule of when you can get to the gym and ask when he can pick up the kids. Learn to cook healthier meals, and ask him to be supportive by eating them also so you aren't cooking two separate meals each day. If you'd like to use a specific program to get the job done, then talk with him about the cost and how you can work that in to your house budget.

When you address the issue before he makes it a deal breaker you'll be communicating to him that you recognize his needs and that they are important to you.
