Question - (2 March 2008) 1 Answers - (Newest, 3 March 2008)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I have been living with my BF for a few years.

One thing that I notice is that when I ask him to do things (such as update our business website, clean his workshop) he won't do it. It is only when one of our friends says something to him that he takes action! I would like to understand why this is?

Is it not important what I think?

I feel like he just tunes me out!

How do I change this?

Laura1318 agony auntI am sorry for you .His radio frequency is not in tuned with your broadcast frequency.

You are broadcasting on the wrong frequency and not on the same wavelength as his radio receiver. LOL!

A man has two sets of ears, the outer and inner ear.

When his inner ear thinks you are nagging (because you repeat too often the same request) his inner ear will shut off the signal to the brain.

It is like a automatic mechanism and he is not aware of it.

His inner ear works a a spam filter to his CPU.(His brain)

It is not easy but you can do something to make him sit up.

If he does not do what you want of him , you need to boycott and withdraw one of the free services , you render for him...LOL!

This is called arm twisting to get what you want him to do for you.

He will sit up and listen to you.

If you scratch my back , I will scratch yours.

If you don't meet my needs , I will not meet yours.
