If It Doesn’t Feel Right, It Isn’t

I was looking through blogs, thinking about what to write about this week and I saw Liz Rizzo’s post headlined on blogher.com:  Separation Anxiety–What Am I, 5? Interesting that Blogher, with all its issues and topics, chooses this post as a headliner.

Liz writes that she is irrationally anxious not being with her boyfriend. He calls every day when he says that he will. But she misses him. They don’t get together for a week at a stretch.

I wondered, is this a classic case of “he’s just not into her”?  Because when a man really cares for a woman, he doesn’t let a week go by.  He just doesn’t.

Needing a male perspective on this, I read the post to my husband. I asked, “If a guy cares for a woman, does he let a week go by without seeing her?”

My husband answered, “Nah. Dump him. He’s a loser.”

I said, “But he calls her every day.”

My husband looked at me like I was an idiot.

Maybe it’s not you, Liz. If it doesn’t feel right, maybe it isn’t.
