Good morning, gorgeous. I hope you're having a wonderful day so far. Welcome to the Dr. Dab Show. I'm your host, Dr. Michelle Daff, and today we're talking about a topic

that I think can be very helpful to you if you're one of those ladies that struggles to

ask for things that you want. Now, I know that some of you have no problem doing this, but most women struggle with this,

especially if you are a woman who's very loving and giving and maybe you grew up in an

environment where you had to sacrifice a lot, you didn't get your needs met, or you were

overlooked.

It is very difficult to ask for what you want, especially when it comes to your husband. You may be able to ask for things that

you want at work, or when you're out and about, at a restaurant, when you need something at the

store. But when it comes to your husband, you're out and about at a restaurant, when you need something at the store. But when it comes

to your husband, you struggle. I say husband because there are different, I would say,

requirements and things that are expectations when you're dating versus when you're married.

You have more rights when you're married to things versus when

you're dating someone. So although this information is wonderful in general for anyone or for your

boyfriend, it's actually more specific to your husband, the person who's made that committed vow to you to be your

protector, your provider, to be part of you. So we're reading from the book, Fascinating

Womanhood, and this chapter is continuing the conversation about childlikeness, but more so with the respect

of asking for what you want, asking your husband for things.

There are people that I know who are older women in my family who are married, divorced, and

when I see how loving they are as a woman, how giving they are, how beautiful

they are, I'm always shocked that they even chose a husband that they chose. And of course,

you know, it ended in divorce. But one of the things I noticed is that these men were very self-absorbed. Like they did not want to give. But these women were also so timid about asking for things and so overgiving to the point that they were not concerned about getting their needs met. And I know that some women do this so that they can kind of hide in their

relationships. It's like if I don't rock the boat, he will be so happy to be with me. I'm low
