Have you ever heard your man say how difficult women are to read? Chances are, we have all heard a man say this once in our lives. It's true, women are complicated creatures, but in my life, I've noticed that men are not as easy to figure out as they think they are. After some time and quite a bit of research, I've come to a few conclusions.

"My man doesn't seem to respond to the sweet heart-shaped notes I leave for him"

You wonder why? Hello!! He's a MAN! Men do not care about silly little notes in the shape of hearts or music notes or anything else like that. Don't expect him to humor you by running up to you and acting as if you've bought him a shiny new set of golf clubs, much less, keep the notes. Ladies, we're no longer in high school. Let's be mature for a moment. Men do not require little love notes planted strategically along the home. They could care less. A sexy email or text message is a better way to express your love if you must write to him. Even wonderful heart felt words written in a card (on special occasions) are acceptable. Leave the scissors and construction paper in the drawer for the kiddos. Save your strength for more adult behavior.

"I don't think my husband really is happy to see me when he gets home at night"

Before you melt down, think. If he were not happy to see you, would he have come home at all? Most men have very serious issues about responsibility. They thrive on being there for their families and want nothing more than to take care of you. This causes them to work very hard, often harder than they need to in order to achieve greatness. It's an ego thing. He's tired at the end of the day and needs a moment to relax and get over the events of his day. He needs to have a certain amount of time to just zone out and forget about the traffic and the phone and all of the craziness he's encountered. This is natural. The best thing you can do for him is to let him be. He loves you. Trust in that.
