Emotional Needs
The topic of emotional needs has been coming up in conversation between myself, my sister, my mother, girlfriends, and stangely enought a brother. What are emotional needs my brother asked? My sister and I answered, " Being heard, listened to, validated in your thoughts and feelings, being nurtured, having someone anticipate what you need and provide that need without even being asked." My brother looked at us quite puzzled as if we were speaking another language.
Which leads me to look back at my own life and when my emotional needs were not being met.
When I think back on those times in my life, I can remember an unhappiness, an emptiness and not really understanding the feeling until I was in my 30's. When I finally got it and realized my emotional needs were not being met, I chose to leave that life behind and start a new one. To get back to who I knew and what my needs were and how to have a full and happy life. For women , having their emotional needs met is important in their relationships, especially with their significant other or spouse. Sometimes this one issue alone can break a relationship. So I write today from experience and say to other women who are reading this blog, focus in on what your emotional needs are. If you are with a partner who is not meeting them, then talk about your needs, explain to your partner what you need from them. I have learned from talking to my brother that alot of men don't get this idea and are clueless in this area of emotional needs.
I am truly blessed that my husband gets it, and we meet each other's needs!
Hugs and Blessings,
