How To Be Self Rescuing

Step 1: Realize the cavalry isn't coming.

​​This may seem obvious, but first you have to realize no one else is going to rescue you. There’s not a person on the planet who could, no matter how much they wanted to. Our culture is saturated with entertainment depicting women seeking the perfect man who will worship her, do at least his share of the housework and maybe hers if she’d rather take a bubble bath, follow her around at the mall with wallet at the ready and be sensitive to her every mood while never failing to take genuine interest all facets of her work and play…..Oh, and be a perfect attentive parent/provider. It’s not going to happen ladies, not every day anyway. Even the man who is perfect for you is still just a man with the same pressures you face. It’s not fair. Lump that together with the vastly different communication styles of the sexes, and it’s a wonder we can get along at all (more on that in a minute). Sure, there are some guys out there with unreasonable expectations of women, but in my observation, they aren’t burdened with the same kind of wildly romantic notions of someone in shining armor swooping in to save them. It’s Probably because they don’t grow up being the target demographic of Disney princesses and romantic comedies.
