Ask yourself WHY you feel the need to share a weakness with a woman

Ask yourself WHY you feel the need to share a weakness with a woman.

The default is always no, don’t share. Say nothing to her or anyone else about your weaknesses, faults, mistakes, or errors unless you have a good reason.

The reason you want to talk will usually tell you if it’s OK or not.

Acceptable reasons:

• Making full disclosure before marriage
• Asking her to avoid tempting you
• Explaining to her how you will or already have overcome that weakness

Unacceptable reasons:

• Manipulation.
• Eliciting pity
• Transferring blame for your behavior to her
• To bring her into your suffering (misery loves company).
• Because you can’t keep your mouth shut.

Dumping your emotional burdens on your wife is cruel and will kill your marriage. Handle your business yourself and share your problems with your closest male friends, psychologist, coach, or therapist.
