I know, as a Relationship Examiner, I post my advice, observations, directions, and opinions - and really whatever else I can offer in support of all of you on your journeys through an often complicated life. My commitment is to offer guidance, to uncover and explain different perspectives, to help you out of quagmires and into happiness, completion, and growth. Ultimately, I endeavor to help you reach the pinnacle of relationship possibilities, one small step at a time.
Sometimes, it seems like a pretty ambitious endeavor, and often it's quite a challenge. I don't think it's much of a stretch to imagine how difficult it often is to get the men's side of these issues out into the open, with depth and honesty. It's especially difficult when you consider the ways our culture seems to encourage men to avoid, or even deny, how their relationship issues may tie them up in knots. As men, in our world of drum-beating, shirtless, beer-chugging Dionysian revelry, we're not always comfortable with, or allowed to be open to, any of this "stuff." We're not supposed to be concerned with really connecting.
I don't buy it.
I don't believe the men out there are unwilling, and certainly they're not unable, to express exactly how they feel about their realtionships. While men may not be comfortable in how to express their feelings, I don't believe that the feelings aren't there, nor do I think that they're not important. Remember: each of us yearns to grow along with another through our lives, in order to completely build ourselves, individually. Avoiding tackling issues in your relationships is avoiding resolving the most challenging and intersting problems within yourselves.
So, I invite readers - both male and female, of course - to converse with me here at examiner.com with relationship questions, concerns, revelations, truths-as-you-see-them, anything you may want to express. And our 21st century technology makes our conversations easier to hold than ever before - nationwide, even worldwide. Simply add a comment, a question, a rumination, or a few lines about your perspectives and start "Gut Table" conversations.
I'm here to talk, but more importantly, I'm here to listen, and to offer perspective.
I look forward to hearing from you.
