my man is in Job Corps, and im home. ive been begging him to stay here for 2 weeks to spend time with me for xmas vacation break. i got lingerie, some sex stuff, etc. i dont want to ruin it, or get my hopes up because im going to Job Corps also in January and i want to be able to spend time with him more before i leave… and i already bought him xmas presents.
how do i get him to say yes he will stay for 2 weeks, instead of saying i dont know? what can i do?

#2 is great. Often time these folks are overlooked when we start dating or are dating someone and these folks will be here when and if he’s gone. Don’t neglect them. Get in the habit of checkin’ in on everyone in your love circle, not just this one man.

This is a great list.

My current gf isn’t needy at all but I’ve got quite a few friends to pass this on to.

Number 4. is a good one. A little to add to it would be to communicate that you are really tired, stressed or depleted so your partner knows you aren’t avoiding them but that you aren’t in your prime.

@Anilia: I’ve really been neglecting my journaling. I hope I can pick it up again. I think it will really help me re-focus!

@Skye Blue: Well put! If a man doesn’t spend enough time with his friends, he’ll start resenting you–or making up excuses to get away from you! You don’t want that! Plus–you need time alone and with your girls! Let him have his man time as well!

Great advice Kaneisha. I wish I had heard about the whole phone call as candy thing when I was a young’un.

Anyway, the one piece of advice I can add to your list is this: Girls let your man spend time with his boys on his own – without whining about it. That is the number one thing I hear my guy friends complaining about.

I think a lot of we women think that when a man has free time and he doesn’t choose it with us, it’s a sign he’s not as connected/into us as we’d like him to be. But the truth is everybody needs some time to kick it with their friends once in a while, and your man’s desire to hang with his boys isn’t necessarily an indication that he doesn’t enjoy spending time with you. So just relax and he’ll be back soon enough, because Lord knows his boys can’t do for him like you do.

My bf and I recently started doing a “mid-day” phone call to check out momentarily from the hassles of work and tell each other lovely things. It sorta just happened naturally — it was like a sign of getting to the “next level,” I think, and it made us very excited! So…sometimes he doesn’t call me, and all I want to do is call him or email him some “did you forgeeeet about meee” note. BUT I sit tight and accept that he might be busy that day. He always later recognizes that he wished he coulda called, but couldn’t. So instead of sounding NEEDY and annoyed that he didn’t, I just move on! The last thing I want to do is turn this special call time into a CHORE!

I love LOVE journaling… its great to look back and see how far you’ve come, and its a great way to NOT annoy your friends with talking about how great your guy is, how NOT great he is (lol), and you can be private and mushy, and you’re the only one who knows about it…
