WHAT DO WOMEN WANT: ACTIVE VS. PASSIVE

A marriage counselor named Corrin Voeller went on TikTok to share one of the top things women complain about in their relationships. Voeller said the problem is the differences between “active responsibility” and “passive responsibility.” She says, “Active responsibility would be you looking around the house for things that you could do and taking responsibility for the things that need to happen within the house. Passive responsibility is waiting for someone to tell you what needs to be done. This is one of the top things I hear from women as a complaint saying that their husbands are waiting for them to tell them what needs to be done.” Voeller says what women really want is a partner who is not waiting for their wife to tell them what to do.
* Until you do it. Then women want a passive partner. Trust me on this.
* Example: Woman says, “Change the channel, I don’t care, whatever you want to watch.” Man switches to ‘Westworld.’ Woman: “Not that.”
* Yeah, who doesn’t want put in a brain-grinding day at work, then come home and think, “Hmm … what chores can I find to do around here?”
* Sorry if it’s too much work for you to tell me what I should work on.
* “Could you fix the leaky garbage disposal today?” – Takes three seconds to say. Fixing the leaky garbage disposal – Takes three hours. If you’re lucky.
* Relax. Write all the things that need to be done on scraps of paper, then close your eyes and take turns picking them out of a bowl. It’ll be fun.
* PHONE TOPIC: Ladies, is your husband a do-er, or does he wait for you to nag– er, suggest things that need to be done?
