I wish I had found these vids to share with my husband before we split up! I could never really explain why I found it exhausting that he would always answer a question with a question, or why I couldn't heal from his past infidelity while he was constantly, casually, and unapologetically breaking his word about smaller stuff (because it wasn't about whether he got the dog's nails trimmed; it was about trust). Keep doing your thing! And sorry to intrude on your man-space, but I'm trying to prepare for a healthier partnership. :)

@@user-xz1wy4to4ono, he's right - just like some men have trouble leading, some women have trouble following. Both are something that takes practise. Maybe it's not as extreme as some women being completely unable to follow at all, but in practise, the level of leadership a man has to show for SOME women (usually ones with deep issues) is not realistic, and the few men that COULD do it (because they have an infinite supply of patience) are probably not going to bother with those women. My observation is that great leaders end up with, or choose, great followers and vice versa, they seem to stick together. That's just my experience. So, theoretically, are the women who are the least able/willing to follow a man's lead capable of following? Sure, bit in practise those women have troubled relationships that are unstable and don't last. E.g. women with personality disorders, substance abuse/addictions, and other issues that cause major problems in their lives and relationships. You could argue that some women are 'hard to get' and have standards, and don't follow any guy - that is not what the comment said. There really are women that don't understand how, or are even unable, to follow a man's lead, even if he is able and willing. Dance classes (good ones) are a great place to see this - sometimes the woman just won't follow a man's lead because she is doing her own thing (I.e. trying to do the dance herself instead of following the man's lead). It's actually quite subtle, but a lot of women aren't that good at it. Following does practise though

@@user-xz1wy4to4o Women in America, esp. African-American, are taught to be masculine. The 2 most common masculine traits that American women adopt are independence and strength. If a man asserts his leadership, many masculine women will not submit. They will clash. That’s why the best women, particularly for masculine men, are feminine, submissive, docile women. Less conflict. More peace of mind.

Lately I’ve felt like I haven’t reacted as well as I could emotionally. I’m proposing to her in 2 months. So my brain is already in a state of “I don’t ever wanna spend another night away from her”! And while we both want to get married and have talked about our future a ton, she has no idea that I’m proposing soon. So when she has to go for the night, I just get sad and I just don’t want her to go. And I let it show. I’m going to do better at reacting in that way, so I can be the strong leader that our relationship needs. Thank you!

I was never taught this stuff as a young man. Then i got married, tried leading and setting boundaries, albeit weakly. Then when the fits of rage came, the temper tantrums and name calling showed up, i said this won't be tolerated and its not hiw we're going to live. I was bombarded with attacks that i dont have enough empathy, that i dont understand her, and especially that im not loving her "unconditionally". So i backed down, and became a doormat, in belief that unconditional love was the answer. Then my resentment built because i couldnt reverse course and get out of it. Then i went back to old habits to self-sooth the loneliness, got caught, and spent years of her obsessively monitoring my technology and being my mother. This is where being weak gets you.

I just didn't want to feel like I'm doing everything. I will only take advice from my partner if she can match me. She had no ambition, couldn't take care of herself. Wants to do the bare minimum. Complain and not be proactive. Not admit faults and take accountability. She didn't respect me but ironically I don't respect her.

9:07 The client and her partner may very well have set up a decision-criticism dynamic: He used to pick a dinner or a restaurant(ie. made a decision) and she complains it's not good enough, doesn't like it , doesn't get a high enough review etc. Then he picks another restaurant(ie. makes another decision), which also get shot down. After 5-6 tries, I find it quite reasonable to just give up and let her pick something, rather than going down the bloody phone book suggesting every restaurant in town alphabetically... If you're gonna be so damn picky, just state what you _actually want_ so it can be factored in, or take the lead and make a decision _you_ like, to save us both the headache 🤷‍♂ It's fine to take the lead, but if every suggestion gets shot down except the ones she wants, are you, even if you eventually manage to pick a place, _really_ in the lead or is she just upholding the illusion you're in the lead?

Absolutely this. There are women that just do not want to be led, and will get defensive and irritated by you trying to lead even when you've proven time and time again that your leadership has enjoyed positive outcomes in the past. When women refuse to relax into their feminine energy thereby try to compete with the man's masculine energy, this can cause such conflict that is difficult to impossible to resolve. Men, just leave these women that refuse to relax into their feminine. They ultimately want a feminine man to control instead of a masculine man they can support and nurture. The only masculine types that can control these types of women are toxic and controlling types because that's what these women are used to: abusive or neglectful men. After the break-up, she ended up just getting a little dog that was previously neglected from a close family member of hers, something she can control, a reflection of her family's dysfunctional dynamic.

No problem, big or small, was just that. To her it was an incredible blow to her trust and insecurity. I had family members come to me and say that they heard me shouting or having arguments heard through the walls. Its something ive never done before. Even after discussions of respecting each other and the space were in. To accept and trust that we see each other and are working to understand. It was never enough.

This is a person who views any kid of mistake as a judgment of caracter, if you fail once he emidiatly labels you as incompetent and dumb and that's it! He also makes up all kinds of stupid stories to cover up for his mishaps and mistakes, I mean really, really stupid stories, he only cares about having an excuse.

Hi, I loved the video and it got me thinking about certain aspects of my relationship within the scope of your examples. 1.How can we lead if we sometimes feel attacked and a calm response from our side doesn't "work" and regardless of what we say we are still "in the wrong". 2. In the example with the trash at the end of the video: Why wouldn't we express out dissatisfaction with being "nagged" for something we didnt do when we have already done so many things but if the roles are reversed we just decide to do it instead of nagging? 3.How do we lead if a woman doesn't really want to be led? ( By a "woman who doesn't want to be led" I am thinking of a woman who has been a leader in her friend groups and was always the one making decisions and now questions everything I decide or the direction I try to set because she is not used to letting go of control) This probably wont get an answer but who knows maybe someone may read it and think about it for himself. It's a journey of becoming a "real man" in our own eyes and this is an important part of it. Subscribed, cant wait to see the other content

@oakinwol 10 ай бұрын

1. Leading has nothing to do with her and everything to do with you and the vision and strategy you create for your relationship, family, and, at it's best, your larger community as well. What you're talking about here is a cycle of defensiveness where she thinks you've done something wrong and confronts you and you're probably calmly trying to explain yourself. That's not really about leadership, except that if you want your relationship to be full of understanding and connection then you can cause that by leading with compassion for how she's feeling before trying to explain whether or not you meant to do the thing she's complaining about and what happened on your side. Once she feels compassion from you she'll be more likely to listen to what you have to say. One can have compassion for an experience someone is having regardless of whether you are actually the direct cause of that experience, regardless of their rightness or wrongness about you causing it. 2. One fact about the world to accept is that if you're wrong you're wrong. It doesn't matter how "right" you were before. If you feel she's nagging in response to you doing wrong, that can be addressed separate from doing the wrong thing, or failing to do the right thing. Nagging is also wrong. Usually people handle nagging by setting a particular time, like once every two weeks, to talk through issues that bother the other person rather than ranting on them every single time they happen. Plus, you can negotiate how many "things" you can improve at a time. Like she cant ask you to improve in 5 areas at once. She can pick one, and if you're leading the relationship you can suggest what area of personal improvement you feel would best serve the relationship 3. Some women are used to taking control, but all women want to led in some way. Some are afraid to be led. Some dont trust others to lead for specific reasons. Those are probably the reasons you'll want to unpack. The first thing is the vision though. An unselfish vision for your relationship and family first. A very clear vision and strategy. Then you just have to show her you're going to work towards that regardless of what she's going to do. You're driving the boat, if she wants to come then she'll hop in. As you get push back you can deal with the specific feelings inside of her around the push back, which will definitely take time but isn't impossible. Leadership isn't making all the decisions though. The vision is guiding the decisions. If she has a better way of getting from A to B and she tells you then of course take that. But if you say we're going to take a right and a left and she says you should do a left then a right then that's just being argumentative. You should explain to her that it derails where you both want to go in the relationship if she argues to drive a separate path that materially isn't better than what you articulated for getting to the goal. You'll have to point it out when she does it, but she'll learn. As long as she sees you trying to make a vision happen intentionally and taking extreme ownership for getting there she'll appreciate that more than you not doing it. As long as your vision isn't selfish, that's also where men go wrong sometimes.

I guess I do lack in vision for myself and us exactly and that makes me feel unsure where and why we are going there and it doesn't allow me to try and lead consciously. I do struggle a lot with reactive answers from her side and triggers which I will be exploring more this year

My girlfriend is OCD. It is hard to take the lead or initiative with an OCD person. They decide things so quickly, you have no time to plan anything worthy that takes a little time to plan. When an idea or plan is offered, it is often nixed.

Watching this video because we gave eachother space to understand and love ourselves first. Any tips on how to be emotionally intelligent, how to act in a problem and be consistent with it and be masculine in a relationship? I wanna fix myself so badly. I want to continue our relationship. I don't wanna lose this girl in this worst generation.

From the 10:00 mark, why waste so much time making choices just to gamble on whether or not she’s gonna like it. It just makes much more sense to me for her to communicate that when the question is presented. Why waste people’s time & effort when you know that’s not something you’re genuinely interested in? I need a woman to answer me please

Of course men don't lead in relationships anymore, why would they? Woman have been shouting for equality with income, responsibility and relationships. You've asked for an equal partnership and now you have it. Don't complain for something women fought so hard to get. Were all equal now, nobody leads or is above the other.

The wife's emotional response to her husband is established in their past by her alone. If the husband reacts angrily to a negative remark of the wife who had previously established a negative emotion towards the husband, he will receive a shout back. If he reacts calmly, he will receive a criticism from her. The situation is like a dog that either barks or growls. To wag his tail with joy, no way. The wife's negative emotions that place her in a position of antithesis with him can be: she "is" in competition with him; she is a rebel towards him and everything he proposes she will choose to do exactly the opposite; etc. These emotions are found in her inner child, established long before she met him. The only thing a man can do is observe the situation. And if that's the case, run away. Unfortunately, men do not know psychology when they are young.

I definitely want my partner to lead, but I just thought it was more because I was naturally a more type B, weaker, lazier person. I grew up in my family with so much chaos, I just want peace and stability now that I’m older. My ex was a very chaotic person too, I married into what I was familiar with. Men with lots of energy excite me but exhaust me in the end, I need someone calm and more stable that gives me strength.

She doesn’t have to like or agree with my point of view; but when I take a stance and assert it respectfully she has no excuse to ignore my request. Hey word - respectfully.

Thank you. I've watched a lot of content (perhaps thousand of videos) and this is by far the most insightful and helpful for understanding the role of men as leaders in a relationship. I suggest you might want to elaborate on what makes a good leader. I think of the king archetype. A man who understands and acts in the best long-term interest of the relationship. A man who understands it's his role to make hard decisions for the relationship. Take the example of making plans for a dinner date. The man will know what kind of food his partner likes, find a new restaurant that has that food, and then offer to order something he thinks she'll like. If she trusts him, and leans into letting him take the lead, it can be attractive and mutually rewarding.

I know many men who are good leaders and get cheated on more than the guys who don't have anything so honestly I prefer to not be a leader to any other human being but my child because there is tyranny that exists in this world and people don't mind playing roles especially if your biggest achievement is to lead someone else how difficult would it really be to pretend to listen to you.. but I do understand what you are trying to get across brother no shade on the video truly appreciate the conversation just my opinion that it's not good to live by any rules of the matrix and that's a moral of The matrix to be a leader to aspire to be a leader how about we just live in the present moment and try to be as peaceful as we can before it's our time to be cremated or buried

Not in 100% agreeance but to each their own brother, I got some good takeaways. I know some flack is coming, but I met some good marriages where a nest was not built first. To each their own. Though I will say, not every plan is the best laid plans, if every relationship or marriage was the same, what a boring life. My parents grew up next to each other, living with parents around 25 or so, made a whole lot after, but again to each their own, not everyone is my parents either. I learned from others marriages, not every experience is the same. A lot of times, their marriage is nearing a failure decades later and were well off before. So I try to take something from both ends. Take it how ya want. Sadly, a lot of people outside seem good and have nice things but inside the marriage is about 1 or 2 steps from crumbling, it is easy to fake it to the world, but inside it is harder to fake it.
