You have to have the courage to listen to the truth. Many men feel that women want or need beautiful lies. Some of my clients have said that they are afraid to tell their partners what is going on in their lives or how they really feel because it will disappoint them. Do you know why you leave this impression on men? Because the truth is, many women like to use their emotions to control men—and, by extension, their relationships. A woman often requires a specific response from a man. For example, as soon as she sheds tears, a man should immediately put her on his shoulder with a very gentle whisper. Women get frustrated when they don’t get it. In fact, this is a hint to men not to tell the truth.
