Empowering Men: How to Transfer Responsibility Effectively
Written on
Chapter 1: Understanding the Dynamics of Responsibility
"Can you believe it?!" a woman exclaims during a phone conversation with her friend. "He calls me and asks, 'Tanya, what should I do?' I've spent my whole life..."
This scenario captures a common frustration: a man relying on a woman to make decisions for him. It can feel overwhelming when one partner has to navigate all the significant choices alone.
However, it's important to recognize that this learned behavior often stems from a woman inadvertently taking on too much responsibility. The good news is that if he has learned to be irresponsible, she holds the power to guide him back toward accountability.
Still, it's essential to note that not every man will easily adapt to this shift. Some may struggle to change their ways. Yet, in extreme situations—like being stranded on a deserted island—these men might find themselves taking the initiative because they have no one else to turn to for guidance.
So, how can a woman effectively transfer the responsibility she once absorbed? I suggest a technique I call "Ask Him."
Section 1.1: The 'Ask Him' Technique
"Vasya, what should I do?"
Hand over financial decisions to your partner. While this might seem extreme, it’s crucial to approach this carefully, especially if he has issues with addictions.
For instance, if you're considering buying vitamins costing three thousand rubles, present the dilemma: "I want to purchase these vitamins, but it might affect my budget. Vasya, what do you think I should do?" Follow his advice.
"I don't know what to do!"
When he attempts to pass a significant decision back to you, respond with, "I really don’t know." Open your hands and, for emphasis, let out a sigh. Then, step away.
If he makes a choice you don't agree with, refrain from judging or criticizing him.
Seek His Guidance Regularly
Frequently ask for his input: "Vasya, how should I approach this situation?" or "What do you think I should do?" The second option might be more effective; the first could lead him into deep contemplation, causing delays in decision-making.
Subsection 1.1.1: The Benefits of This Approach
What does this strategy accomplish?
Each time you deflect the responsibility he tries to shift onto you, you reinforce the idea that he alone is responsible for his actions. This practice fosters a sense of accountability, prompting him to realize that he cannot blame anyone else.
As a result, you might notice him becoming more decisive and proactive, allowing you to feel more at ease. This shift will encourage him to step up, while you can finally take a break from being the primary decision-maker.
