All right, man, welcome back to the Man Talk show.

Conear Beaton here.

And just as a reminder, this show exists to help you be a better man, to be a better

husband, father, business owner, leader, entrepreneur, to be better in your health and

your finances and your mindset.

This show gives you the tools, the conversation, and the concepts to better yourself

in your life. So today, we're going to talk about a very simple question. And we're going to

talk about a very simple concept, which is the concept of neglect. And I recently posted about

this on Instagram and a lot of people love the idea. And so I'm going to talk about neglect because for

many men, one of the biggest challenges that many men are facing is that they neglect their own needs,

their own wants and their own desires. And for many men, they have bought into this notion that if I

just neglect what I need and prioritize other people, if I just give to them first,

if I figure out exactly what my partner needs, what my girlfriend and my wife needs,

and I can fulfill that first, and I can fill her up, then maybe I'll get my needs met in return.

And this is where this concept of like, happy wife, happy life come from, which is complete

nonsense, right? It's just this

ridiculous, ridiculous saying that traps people, that traps a lot of men into believing that

if I can make her happy first, then maybe I can get what I need and I want in return. And it

creates this sort of carrot way of being where a man's happiness and needs are always

on the other side of the person that he's dating, getting their needs met first, and being

happy.

That's one part.
