There are countless books and stories, and articles about how men and women are different. I am going to toss another in the heap...as you may or may not know...I've recently been surgically removed from my job of 10 plus years! ugh...this has given me an amazing opportunity to hang out with my kids, in fact the most ever! It's been glorious...however, after a honeymoon period, my wife has begun to get frustrated with my presence. My mere handling of almost anything has drawn much attention...negative attention! I haven't been effecitve enough dealing with the HMO's, Federal Government, etc with the sense of urgency she'd like to see. I am mentally being beaten for this. Not to mention, that this is becuase I'm growing more depressed with the lack of interested in what I consider a pretty good resume. I'm an award winning, leader of teams and most of all...I make it rain! I've driven higher revenue in every job I've had, I've improved morale to record levels...however, I don't walk the same path as most...and now my wife is getting tired of it...so this case I'm confident that it goes beyond men and women...it's mental attitudes, appreciation and respect. And a big dose of trust. If there is not trust that someone will get something done...and be trusted to figure it out if there are bumps along the way...is what makes it work. In my case, in this moment, I don't have her trust, I am seen as a liability...and that breaks my heart...so I'll try to make it happen...try to be better and more communicative...and more...well more!
Share your story of efforts being misdiagnosed as laziness...or disinterest!
