Dating & Relationships: Excuses Women Make for Men's Behavior

I myself, use to be guilty of this. I know a lot of other women that also just as guilty. Sometimes I think women don't want to see who he really is, so they constantly either justify or make excuses for what he is saying and doing. After all if she really accepted who he was, would she still be with him, maybe not. I believe women try to protect what they have, even if what they have isn't so hot. I thought we could look at some of the more popular excuses women make for men.

He Didn't Mean it That Way-

This is my absolute favorite one, and one that I hear much too often. Sometimes when a couple is around other people, the man might say something embarrassing, or insulting. Right away super woman comes to the rescue. After seeing the reaction by others to what he had said, she jumps in with her lengthy explanation. She goes on and on explaining what he really meant to say. I guess most women must be mind readers, how else could they possibly know what someone else is trying to convey in what they are saying. I myself did this many times. Now that I don't do that anymore, I just notice just how much other women do it as well. Actually, now when I see it objectively, it sort of turns my stomach. Something is definitely quite wrong with this. My thoughts are that the woman just doesn't want to face the fact she may be with a jerk. I mean, she's the one who chose this guy, why would she want to admit she really screwed up.

It Wasn't His Fault-

This is where no matter what he did wrong YOU have a valid excuse of why he did it. This includes it being your fault, or you drove him to it. You know like when he cheats, you actually start believing that if only you had done this or that he wouldn't have cheated. Get real; everyone is responsible for their own behavior. This one happens more times than you can imagine. Oh, in front of her girlfriends, mother, etc., she will hang him out to dry, but in private, inside herself, she is blaming herself, and believing she was not enough. She might even apologize to her man for not being there for him like she should have.

He' Waiting For A Job in His Career Field-

This is the guy that gets to take vacations from work. Guess who is by his side supporting him? You got it his faithful woman. She has actually convinced herself that he shouldn't have to take a job that's beneath him. Meanwhile he's sitting on the coach. the bills are piling up, she has to take a second job, and the kids don't even remember what Mom looks like anymore. But that's okay, she deep down knows what a hard worker he can be, if that perfect job would just fall into his lap.

He Needs His Space-

This is woman that patiently sits at home taking care of the kids, and cleaning house while he has "His Space". My thoughts on this one, it would be better to send him to outer space. She has convinced herself that he works so hard to support his family, and "Lets" her stay at home, that he deserves his time alone, and having fun. We all know this happens a lot. I know someone personally who I was talking to, who laughed that he went off for the weekend with his dirt bike buddies, only to leave her at home to take care of the hardwood floors. Why doesn't this woman realize she works just as hard as he does? Why isn't she questioning that they could go off and have fun together? The point is she really does convince herself he deserves it, and she doesn't.

He's Too Tired To Help me With the Housework-

Women who have husbands with physically demanding jobs use this one often. She pathetically sates, He just to tired to help, he works construction all day. Meanwhile she's ran after three kids all day long, cleaned the house, went food shopping, mowed the lawn, went on uncountable errands, washed the car, and has dinner waiting on the table. What part of physical is she missing about her job? It sad that most women still believe it's all their responsibility. Several years ago I use to own a cleaning service. You can't imagine how many professional women that worked 50-60 hours a week at their job. were still doing all the housework. I heard the story many times. Still, for whatever reason, some women still seem to think "He" is too tired to help, and that's okay!"

These are but just a few of the better-known excuses women make for their men. When are women going to start believing we deserve an equal partner in life, and we shouldn't have to make excuses for men anymore? PLEASE ladies, NO MORE EXCUSES!!
