“She Never Asks About My Day…”

A friend called me frustrated:

“She never thinks to ask me how I am. How was MY day? It’s always about her. And honestly… it pisses me off. I don’t even want to hear her story sometimes. What can I do?”

This is a common frustration in relationships. Feeling unheard. Feeling unappreciated. Feeling like your experiences don’t matter as much as the other person’s. Resentment starts creeping in.

But what if we looked at this from a different angle?

💡 Is she actually ignoring him, or is she just excited to share?
💡 Does she even realize he’s waiting to be asked?
💡 What if this isn’t about her talking too much but about creating a new way to connect?

We can’t control someone else’s habits, but we do have control over how we shape a conversation. Instead of waiting to be heard, what if he took the lead?

Imagine saying:

“Hey honey, I love hearing about your day—and it really matters to me that you want to hear about mine too. What if we take a few minutes every night to check in with each other?”

No blame. No criticism. Just an invitation to connect differently.

💬 Same situation. Different approach. Totally different outcome.

How many of our daily frustrations could shift just by looking at them from a new perspective? 🤔
