    About this ebook

    With concise, thought-provoking passages, Derrick Jaxn shares what he learned in love once he discovered the difference between just hearing a woman and truly listening to her.

    There’s a fear that resides in most men disguised as pride of listening to things a woman is trying to get across during conflict in a relationship. The fear of being less manly, weak, or even unintelligent when genuinely considering how a woman’s adverse position may be right has crippled many into a life of childish stubbornness and immaturity.

    Derrick Jaxn has been there, and in Things She Wishes You Understood, he offers men a bridge to grow out of that fear as he poetically articulates the messages on the hearts of women, everywhere.

    For any man who’s struggling to overcome the disconnect in understanding his woman, or for any woman who ever felt unheard due to her inability to speak up for her emotional needs in a way a man could comprehend; this short, but powerful collection of quotes is for you.

    Derrick Jaxn

    Derrick Jaxn is the founder of Mentally Stimulate Me Card Game and author of seven books, including his highly anticipated forthcoming title, Don't Forget Your Crown. Derrick began blogging in 2012 about his hard-learned lessons in love shortly after breaking up with his college sweetheart and has, since, turned his lessons into a viral movement of over five million social media followers that he reaches daily with videos, posts, and live chats about dating and relationships. Over 800 million video views, and counting, gave way to conversations that Derrick noticed happening in his comment sections that needed to happen more often in the homes of those on the dating scene to prevent time wasted in relationships. He decided to solve that problem by creating Mentally Stimulate Me Card Game in April of 2017 which would integrate touchy relationship topics in a fun way early into the dating phase. 200,000 customers later, his cards are quickly becoming a household name and date night must-have across the globe. Despite his success as an entrepreneur, Derrick is mostly known for curating content online in advocacy for the importance of self-love as the antithesis to the need of validation within a relationship. He often lends his massive influence to sensitive, and sometimes controversial topics like narcissism, rape culture, and the combating of stereotypes against single mothers which has earned the trust of his listeners that they can count on him to speak on what's necessary instead of just what's popular. When Derrick isn't championing healthy relationships and building his empire, he enjoys spending time with his former college sweetheart, and current wife, Da'Naia and their two children.

    Things She Wishes You Understood - Derrick Jaxn

    Introduction

    Communication is said to be a lost art. While I’d love to disagree, I personally know how it feels to have misplaced my brush in the pile of insecurities, brokenness, ego, pride, and self-centered way of thinking I once hoarded. Even till this day, I occasionally find my brush hiding somewhere under another box of unpacked internal baggage that has no place in a healthy relationship, nor a happy life in general.

    Clearly, the turning point in my life wasn’t in me becoming perfect, but rather having the wisdom to use my brush. To start having the difficult and sometimes painful conversations. To open up when my comfort zone was shutting down. To blame myself when I knew I was wrong instead of pointing fingers elsewhere when I knew I could get away with it. To speak up instead of letting passive-aggressive hints speak for me.

    It wasn’t rocket science. It was a choice life gave me, the same one it gives every man. Either wise up, grow up, and step up to the plate, or continue to avoid my demons, cling to my toxicity, and lose the woman who knew she deserved so much better.

    Not only did I refuse to allow the latter, I bet my life against it, found my purpose in it, and now am writing this book with it. I’ve done the years of hard work so that some man who still has a chance to keep the love of his life can learn many of my
