Step-4
WRONG EXPECTATIONS

Conflicts between men and women often stem from their differing reactions to intimacy, which follow distinct cycles. Men have moments when they need to withdraw, like a rubber band that stretches and snaps back, regaining independence and reconnecting with themselves after seeking closeness in a relationship. During this phase, they may appear withdrawn and unresponsive, making their partners feel hurt. Women, on the other hand, experience an intimacy cycle resembling a wave. When they feel good, they are giving and appreciative, but eventually, the wave crashes, leading to low self-esteem and a need for emotional support.

The key message here is that men and women have different intimacy cycles that influence their capacity to give and receive love. It’s crucial not to repress these natural cycles. Men should communicate their need for space and reassure their return, while women should understand it’s not their partners’ fault and offer unconditional love during their low moments. Repressing these cycles could lead to issues like men becoming passive or overly dependent and women suppressing their feelings. Understanding and respecting these natural rhythms can help create healthier and more harmonious relationships.

مردوں اور عورتوں کے درمیان تنازعات اکثر ان کے قربت کے مختلف ردعمل سے جنم لیتے ہیں، جو الگ الگ سائیکلوں کی پیروی کرتے ہیں۔ مردوں کو بعض اوقات دوری کی ضرورت ہوتی ہے، جیسے ایک ربڑ بینڈ جو کھنچ کر واپس آتا ہے، اور وہ تعلقات میں قربت کے بعد دوبارہ آزادی اور خود کو بحال کرتے ہیں۔ اس مرحلے کے دوران، وہ خود کو الگ تھلگ اور غیر حساس ظاہر کر سکتے ہیں، جس سے ان کی ساتھی کو تکلیف محسوس ہو سکتی ہے۔ دوسری طرف، خواتین کی قربت کا سائیکل ایک لہر کی مانند ہوتا ہے۔ جب وہ اچھا محسوس کرتی ہیں تو وہ دینے والی اور قدردان ہوتی ہیں، لیکن آخرکار لہر گر جاتی ہے، جس سے ان میں خود اعتمادی کی کمی اور جذباتی حمایت کی ضرورت پیدا ہوتی ہے۔

اہم پیغام یہ ہے کہ مردوں اور عورتوں کے قربت کے مختلف سائیکل ہوتے ہیں جو ان کی محبت دینے اور لینے کی صلاحیت کو متاثر کرتے ہیں۔ ان فطری سائیکلوں کو دبانا نہیں چاہیے۔ مردوں کو اپنی جگہ کی ضرورت کو واضح کرنا چاہیے اور واپسی کی یقین دہانی کرانی چاہیے، جبکہ خواتین کو سمجھنا چاہیے کہ یہ ان کے ساتھی کی غلطی نہیں ہے اور انہیں اپنے کمزور لمحوں میں غیر مشروط محبت دینی چاہیے۔ ان سائیکلوں کو دبانے سے مسائل پیدا ہو سکتے ہیں، جیسے مردوں کا غیر فعال یا حد سے زیادہ انحصار کرنے والا بن جانا اور خواتین کا اپنے جذبات کو دبا لینا۔ ان قدرتی سائیکلوں کو سمجھنا اور ان کا احترام کرنا صحت مند اور ہم آہنگ تعلقات پیدا کرنے میں مدد دے سکتا ہے۔
