How Being Honest About Your Needs Makes Him Love You More
The More She Shows This Quality, The More He Can’t Get Enough of Her
My friend Mia is what we’d all call a lucky woman. Her life seems blessed by fortune itself — everything she touches turns to gold, whether it’s her career or her family life. She’s built something genuinely extraordinary.
She and her husband have been married for years, yet they’re still as in love as day one. Time seems to stand still around them.
One night, we were all hanging out, having a great time, when Mia suddenly announced she needed to video call her husband. He was out of town on business, and she wanted to do a little “check-in” from afar.
We were all pretty surprised. In our book, that kind of behavior seems like it would make anyone feel trapped or annoyed.
We asked her, worried, “Won’t that piss him off? Won’t he think you’re being controlling or too intense?”
Mia just laughed. She told us that when her husband travels, she can’t help but overthink things. She’d been upfront with him from the start about her insecurity.
So they worked out a solution — whenever timing worked out, she could video check in on him.
