I know men don’t think like women do.

I know men don’t love like women do.

I know the emotional capacity of men is as shallow as a mud puddle during a 21 day drought – but dammit, why do I let it get to me so bad.

Sometimes I want to keep my mouth shut, my fingers tied up to prevent emotional emailing or texting, but I just can’t.

There are times I pick up on the slightest behavior pattern changes and take them straight to heart.

I over dissect actions or lack thereof and equate the directly into relationship issues.

Why?

I want to

I try to

But I fail – time and time again.

How can I sit back and wait when all I do is respond with emotion?
