How would I know that my man is not interested in me?

Women. We can be so fickle, so sensitive, so naive, so trusting, and so insecure. If you have a significant other that you call "your man," then its safe to assume that somewhere along the line he was interested in you. However, those of us who were fortunate enough to be given a few extra doses of hormones (by the way, that would pretty much cover the entire female population) have a knack of questioning everything positive that happens in our lives just to seek out the negative. Then, we start questioning, "maybe he doesn't like me anymore," or "I wonder if he's met someone else," or "I wonder why he's mad at me." Simply questioning whether or not your "man" is still interested in you possibly indicates a deeper insecurity that should be addressed as a priority much higher than whether or not "he" is interested in you.

Addressing this question requires a woman to look at herself from the outside in.

Tabitha successfully maintained a perfect grade point average throughout her undergraduate work and was looking forward to a successful future career. Although "John" never mentioned it to "Tabitha," he never yearned for an overly-successful wife/mate. "John" simply desired either a "stay-at-home mom" type or someone with a modest career, he just assumed "Tabitha" would continue to fit that profile. The more "Tabitha" succeeded, the more "John" withdrew himself from the relationship. "Tabitha" began questioning "John's" faithfulness, and his interest in her. "Tabitha" soon became so consumed with wondering why "John" didn't seem so interested anymore that her grades began declining. ATTENTION WOMEN: "Tabitha" is your
