    It's really hard when your partner is emotionally unavailable most of the time. You're always there physically. Trying to understand him always but as humans, our patience has its limits. Better to look for a mature guy that knows how to communicate.

    Throw the whole man away and find one who gives a crap about you. Been through this so many times, you can't make him care and when men act like this it's a sign they don't care. I was told by a VERY wise MAN that if a man truly cares about you, you won't have to ask, you won't have the situations like the beginning of this video. A man who cares is a man who is there, who stays, and who tries to resolve any situation.

      I can't speak for all emotionally detached men - but for many of us it's not that we don't care or are not trying hard enough. It's that we genuinly don't know what to do or what to say. There is no 'just do it'. Our outlook and perception of life and relationships is completely and utterly different from other people and it is almost impossible to put in to words our deepest feelings.

    • @peps7721
      @peps7721 5 лет назад +28

      And...I also hope people realise what a nightmare the woman in the first scene was. Yes, I understand that she is deeply frustrated - but imagine coming home from work and having this kind of thing thrown at you? And would you be comfortable in opening up to someone who speaks to you like that?

    • @peps7721
      @peps7721 5 лет назад +10

      And lastly, when you speak of an emotionally available man, what do you actually mean by that? Are you sure that is what you want? I can't imagine how any woman can fall for such a soppy, smug and self absorbed man that is 'in touch' with his feelings.

    Not sure if I really am up to a lot discussions about feelings and such with a man. I spent 18 years discussing problems/emotions in totally unhealthy ways and in healthy ways and I am pretty much toast on it. I like the logical thinking aspect of men and I want men to be open emotionally. If a man cries I know most likely he is at the breaking point. But right now if I can't have an open discussion and wrap it up either right then or in a couple days I just don't have the patience. Maybe it's the realization that at 56, if I am lucky, I have 20 more years. I don't want to waste time fiddle faddling around.

      Yes, i am the same age and I agree up to a point. I like to give my partner head space, and talk when ready, as i need that too. At this age it’s a bit different and think both sexes move towards a more unified friendship, more real and somehow more independent. But maybe as mine is a long distance relationship! This video was excellent by the way, spot on how men and women respond to each other and the way they process emotions.

    So glad I found this video, I’m feeling more prepared to talk to him when he’s ready and know how I should approach the conversation. Going in with an objective and taking a rain check on solving the whole issue I think will really REALLY help!

I know this is just acting, but if this was real, no wonder the poor girl feels so disconnected during sex!

      Obviously we've pulled these numbers out of the air, but I actually think *truly* present time is becoming so uncommon that most of us don't get 30 minutes a week, let alone 30 minutes a day (especially couples at 2 years+). By present time, I don't mean time talking to your partner while you're waiting for your turn to speak about your own stuff, which is the way a lot of us communicate. I don't mean sex. I don't mean time doing things like watching TV together. I mean actually 'seeing' one another and being truly present. Listening, instead of waiting for your turn to speak. Feelings your partners emotions and 'relating' to them. Phone on airplane mode. No distractions. Really, truly, present time. I think most women (and men) get so little of this, that you'd be surprised at what 30 minutes per day on amazing present, quality time would do a relationship.

    OK you just described the last three years of my marriage in the first minute of this video! Sadly after eight years and three children my marriage has ended. My husband could never drop the stonewalling and the silent treatment and the non-communicative behavior until our relationship completely collapsed. I gave him space, I engaged him, I encouraged him, I nagged, I did everything but stand on my head, actually I think I did stand on my head once. What I’m trying to say is what was going on with my ex husband was in between his ears. that’s something I could never help him or fix or do about. and it showed a lot during our separation and divorce. he actually divorced me on text if that tells you the level of his inability to communicate. It was incredibly painful I’m still reeling from the experience and it’s been six months.

  • @renewyourmind1815
    @renewyourmind1815 7 лет назад +84

    This is cracking me up. I 100% agree with it & can see where I have been overwhelming him, but to me it's like reasoning with my 2 year old. "Honey, I know you really, really, REALLY, want to buy this toy, but mommy said no. It is okay if you feel upset, but we're here for groceries today." My husband's mother was a narcissist so I truly believe he was never allowed to have feelings. It also may be why he hates focusing on absolutely any of my needs, because everything was about his mother growing up. I've asked nice, calmly and been understanding, made excuses for him, I've asked late at night, during the day, I've yelled...I've done it all. I've given him time, and the next day he scoots on to work without a word about what I asked him to share.
    He ignores everything. I've learned that when he wants to come home and go straight to bed, to just say, "Okay, goodnight." I don't try to keep him engaged until I've worked things out. I love kayaking, biking, hiking, camping, riding my horse/ driving her with a cart, playing with our child, going to movies, playing with our dogs, I love doing woodworking, working out, working on my truck, sewing, reading, 4 wheeling, baseball, basket ball. He just only wants to do what he likes, and won't make time for me.
    Last week he said he wanted to spend time with me, I was secretly excited, but didn't let on because he says it a lot without investing any time. On his day off he didn't mention any plans for a date night, or anything during the day, so I scooped up my cat and read a book. The second I find something to do, he asked, "what do you want to do?" I've come to the conclusion he wants me to BEG for his time like I used to.
    Me: "I'd love to spend time with you, what did you have in mind?"
    Him: "Idk, didn't you have anything you wanted to do?"
    Me: I'll just read my book & snuggle the cat until you can come up with something. I'm really not sure what to do.
    For clarification, he always does this. He will ask what I want to do, then he ends up coming up with something completely different that I really didn't want to do, and we do that. So even if I had something planned I know his game. He picks up our child, and says, "well I'm not wasting my day off, I'll take (son's name) and we're going to find something fun to do." With that he stormed towards the door. I said, "Okay, have fun honey."
    After he left and I'd read a chapter of my book, I loaded up my kayak and made the hour drive to the lake. I was riding the wake of a few speed boats giggling when he called me. "Hey babe, I have a date night planned for us. Babysitter and everything, are you on your way home?" I just LAUGHED inside. 1.5 hours earlier he said he was just going to leave me at home and go do something with our son.
    I said, "That sounds great, but I'm kayaking and won't be back until late." He acted all sad on the phone, but I'm not going to wait for him, and I'm certainly not going to cancel my plans when he didn't make any for the two of us & deliberately left the house to be hurtful.
    The past few nights he's come home and went straight to bed with a man cold. No biggie, I get that. But I still felt down because he said earlier we'd watch a movie, and said all on his own "He'd make time 2 hours after he gets off work every night to spend with me." I asked, "Oh I thought we were going to watch a movie?" He went into "well not all the time, because things come up." I decided I wasn't going to let it get me down last night and followed up with the increasingly normal response, "Ok goodnight babe." But last night I took it a step further because I felt like poop and wanted to shake it off. I turned on some music, not super loud, and was dancing around the kitchen while I waited for some hand cream ingredients to melt together (I make my own). Normally when he goes off to bed he doesn't come out again. But last night he came out & started talking to me about little things nothing deep of course; just studying me while I sang along with the songs and danced. My first thought was maybe if I talk to him and I'm super engaging, he will stay up. But I quickly decided nope, he's made it clear he's going to bed and the moment I get into a good conversation with him sharing, he'll go to bed. I refuse to invest anymore than he does at this point. So my responses were friendly, but I didn't put anything into the conversation and kept my answers short. He said, "I'm going to bed." & I nodded (still dancing) he hesitated, then disappeared into the bedroom.
    It really seems to bother him when I'm happy. & he seems to convey the situation like, "how can I get her to be upset and chase me?" No more dude, I choose to dance. I also got a full-time job despite his protests, and him telling me I'd be paying for all of the childcare. I'm saving up to get my own place which could be soon, as I have plenty saved to do so. I found my strength in deciding for myself that I'm no longer waiting for him, I lost my mom, who was my best friend, grandma, and grandpa all within 7 months. Life is too short to waste or be upset on someone who has better things to do with their time than invest in me. That was probably the darkest time for me, and when he didn't step up to be supportive, I realized I don't want to be married to someone who isn't there for me. After all, it says, "for better or worse." What if I was the one with cancer? Their would be no one to support me. I've learned to dance in the rain, and melt away the hurt of it all. I am getting myself financially stable and moving on, everyday that is my goal. In fact I bought a bar necklace to ground myself when I feel like crap, it says, "persevere." I hold that necklace and it reminds me everyday I am enough; to keep pressing forward. That's why I let him walk away without becoming anxious. That & I don't want to be the reason our relationship drags on if I'm not happy and the only one making it work. It should be mutual, and I'm excited at the prospect of a guy who can do that for me, even if it isn't him. I want to clarify that I'm looking into this info to prepare myself for the next man. I'll be ready.

      If he has a narcissistic mother, it's more likely he will have major abandonment issues when you leave him. {Worse case after-effects are: stalking, depression, even suicide.} Please do not conclude that just because he's not into discussing feelings/things that he does not love you still. Men like that, like my husband, need a little "extra loving care" to bring out the best in them.
      Of course, I loathed my mother-in-law for abandoning him in a sense as a child, but glad she lives in a diff. continent... I had to do my research {read books & listened to marriage podcasts} and have had A LOT of patience & prayers to make our marriage work ~ also for the sake of our children then ~ they're adults now. No one is perfect anyway? If your husband is not emotionally abusive to you and your son, do reconsider everything. He obviously loves your child together as well.
      Classic Narc Victim request is for you NOT to work full time... again, it shows "abandonment" issue. I experienced the same.
      ✅ There are 5 Love Languages... basically 🔹 Words 🔹 Touch 🔹 Actions (acts of service) 🔹 Time 🔹 Gifts...
      What is your primary language is more likely different than your partner's, and it could change in time. Acts of Service is our primary expression for each other at this point, secondary is Time spent together. However, I don't like all those outdoor activities while my husband prefers running 5k or half-marathon... We are ALL different, wouldn't you agree?
      Find out which is YOUR partner's primary ♥️ language and possibly improve your relationship. 😊

    I think this is really great advice and it's good to see it acted out. Sadly in my experience some men (emotionally unhealthy ones) aren't going to take in anything you say and will immediately get defensive, regardless of whether you use these methods or not. In my last relationship, it became clear that no amount of strategic communication was going to overcome his issues and his inability to take ownership of his behavior and to properly empathize.

    Hi Mark! An emotionally unavaleble man is neither ready nor suitable for a relationship.
    What women are very good at, because they have learned this from generation to generation, .. is to adjust themselves, knowing that they cant change there man. Many women keep this off for a long time and forget themselfs. If not.. she can become a drama queen because she cant reache him (scene 1) Or she walks on eggshells and loses herself by rationally guiding and surpressing her real feelings (scene 2 ) for the sake of her relationship.. Question remains, what effort does he actually take in this scenes ...?
    I just want to point out that it is never good for women to bend into turns when they're far from the same lavel with an emotionally. unavalable man. At the end women feel eroded by them, wich is the case mostly with emotinal unavalable men.. Maybe the topic isn't right i suggest.. because you are showing a very NEEDY woman (scene 1) .. and of course I understand this makes men run away...Needy women are emotional toxic (and also unavalable) for a man.. So i'm confused a bit..

  • @emma_ametist

  • @brokenenglish7242
    @brokenenglish7242 7 лет назад +5

    Hi, i think your videos are really useful and i also like the fact that you're not demonising men or women, but instead focus on what's best for each and every person. :) i could definitely spot myself in both situations, sometimes craving time for my own, other times impatiently craving answers from others that make me feel unappreciated. So i think i gained a better understanding on how to ease communication and how to handle different ways of expression. I would also be really interested and grateful for some advice on social anxiety and online dating, if you would like to get to that at some point or have time for it. I seem to struggle a lot with getting to meet men and sadly, i often cancel plans, which lets people down and makes them to rely on texts exclusively, to talk to me. I don't wanna waste anyone's time, but it's really difficult to get out of this pattern. :( thank you and keep up the good work!

    • @Markrosenfeld
      @Markrosenfeld  7 лет назад

      Hey Not so Special. Thankyou! And good awareness there. It sounds like your actions are the result of deeper underlying fear(s). Working through many of these anxieties will be about stretching your comfort zone, and certainly that's something I'd help you do, as well as understand the fears, if we were to ever work together. In the meantime, I'd aim to become consciously aware of how and when they block you so you can work on dealing with them x

    This give an take only works if there are only two people in the equation. Once the man has children alone time goes out the window. Even going to the bathroom alone is a luxury and even that is not a given. One time I really wanted to be alone in the bath. I locked the door and a little while I heard this noise. My 4 year old daughter had figured out how to unlock my bathroom door using a cheap metal key that comes with those diary books. It is important for the man and the women to have alone time. I didn't give myself enough of that or fun time but the reality is as adults we don't always get want we want. We women just want some adaption from men too.

    Great advice, thanks! Some guys are more "receptive" to this than others...I think it really depends on who he is and where he is in his personal journey. Some men are sooo so so not ready for even the slightest guidance towards becoming more emotionally open...But there ARE those who are willing and ready. Just wanted to throw in my two cents as well and reassure women that some guys are definitely worth the patience, but you have to listen to your inner voice and determine if they are right for YOU before putting in all this work! Some people have that potential, others don't...Doesn't make them bad people, just maybe bad for you :) Thanks again for this vid!

    When you tell a guy he seems this disinterested then he’s going to believe that he is not interested Hypnosis .. You tell someone that they are something and I believe that they are something. You tell someone hey you don’t seem like you’re as interested in me and I want to talk about it. Then they’re going to think yeah maybe I’m not interested then. I think there’s another way to communicate your feelings then saying this to someone that way. If you tell someone, I know you like me then they’re going to think yeah I do like her. Or if you say you don’t like me I don’t think you like me to think yeah maybe I don’t like you.

    Really like the concept and visualization. Also, how eventhough she is good at expressing how she feels in words in the first scene, which in itself can be difficult for women, it´s no use when it is thrown at him non-stop like this. Here is one thing I´d love your opinion about. You answer people, I really appreciate it, so I am writing it here: There is one moment, where as an observer i could sense a "dangerous" moment in the suggested dialogue. When he says, he needs half an hour, she says: I give you an hour. - Clear moment of trying to keep in charge (for all the good little girl´s reasons). A more feminine way could be: I feel already more relaxed. When you tell me what to do, I can stop second-guessing so much about these tricky situations. How about, we´d make it an hour for you? This would make it so much easier for me to immerse myself into something else as well and not just be sitting on my hands waiting for you... Now he can give something to her while she really heals that little girl who wants to please even more, particularly after the affirmation, so actually she is still running the same pattern trying to micromanage the situation and can not really be with herself to sense what that does for her, that it was safe to ask her man the way she did
