Assumptions are the termites of relationships.

Anyone agree? I think I do agree. Most of the time, we think we're always right. What we feel is right. Especially women. Although, yes, we really have strong instincts but oftentimes, jealousy is stronger. And what we want to see is what we end up seeing. What women don't realize is, men don't like the hassle of explaining in details. As much as possible they want to keep things simple. You ask them a question, they answer. They're not like us. When we're asked where did we go...we give our answer and we'll even start describing the place, who were there and other stuffs. But, men, they will only say what they think is required of them. -- "Where did you go?" "Went to the barber." Sometimes, they'd even show a gesture we assume to be hesitation to answer. But, truth is, they simply rather not want to talk about it because to them it isn't important. AND, they really don't like being asked. We have this propensity to complete the puzzle. We perceive something but we need evidence. So, we keep trying to put the puzzle pieces together. And often, we get the other pieces wrongly. Because, truth is, there's already an established thought in our heads and we only wanna prove it. It affects relationships big time. Like I said earlier, what we want to see is what we usually end up seeing. And even, when we were found to be mistaken, we'd still push the idea in our head so we don't stop looking for evidences til our partners starts becoming really upset with us. What we don't realize is we are what's causing the mess. Keep assumptions at bay. They're really not needed.
