Ladies, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this has to be said: your husband may have excellent qualities and numerous talents, but telepathy isn’t one of them.  

Telepathy: a form of communication between minds. A method of transmitting thoughts.

“If you really loved me, you would have…”

“I shouldn’t have to ask you to do that. You know how busy I am…”

“I’ve been waiting ages for you to do something about it, but you don’t do anything. ”

Notice the common message in these phrases, the woman speaking wants her husband to read her thoughts and do what she wants without her asking.

Ladies, here’s a tip: men are horrible at mind reading, especially when it involves what you’re thinking. To you this ability comes natural, but not to us. Through a simple look and facial expression two women know what the other is thinking immediately. While we just see a face. Please, help us in our weakness. Tell us what you want. And say it more than once – just to make sure we got the message.

Of course, we men sometimes expect women to read our minds too. We don’t communicate, but we want women to guess what we would like them to do. Yet, in my experience through life, I’ve seen that this behavior is more commonly seen in women.

This type of behavior is a recipe for disaster in a relationship. What you need to understand is that if miscommunications are already common in conversations between a man and woman imagine trying to communicate through thought?

Here’s the alternative:

What about saying what you want? Wouldn’t it be better if we develop the habit of asking politely for what we want instead of expecting our partner to guess? And what if we transmit our thoughts choosing the right words in a proper way?

Sharing your life with someone already has its challenges. Make it easier instead of making it harder by avoiding irrational expectations.
