I’m Fine, Part 2 –

He asks (Day One): “How are you doing?”

She says: “I’m fine.”

She means: “I’m really not fine, but I don’t want to talk about it (yet).”

He asks (Later on Day One): “How are you feeling?”

She says: “Okay.”

She means: “I’m really not okay, but I don’t want to talk about it (yet).”

He asks (Day Two): “How are you doing today?”

She says: “I’m fine.”

She means: “I’m really not fine today either, but I STILL don’t want to talk about it (yet).”

He gives her a hug and says he loves her.

He asks (Later on Day Two): “What’s going on?”

She says: “Not much.”

She means: “There’s really a lot going on, especially in my head, but I really STILL don’t want to talk about it (yet).”

He rubs her shoulder for a moment and says: “Well, I’m just thinking about ya.”

. . .

He asks (Day Seven): “How you doing?”

She says: “I’m pretty upset about __________”

She means: “I’m pretty upset about ___________ and I’m now ready to talk about it.”

He says: “Really? Tell me about it.”

So she does, and she finds that talking about it did help. But so did being given the time to think about it first.

Okay, you have the right idea, but in reality, we men hear just exactly what you say everytime. So, if Women are the superior sex, (and I am not denying that by the way) why can they not say what they mean? Perhaps that is one of the great mysteries of the kingdom that we will find out in the next life. Until then, keep up the translations so that we can all better understand the language of women.
