Mary is romantic. Candlelight dinners, flowers and thoughtful gifts represent love and affection to
her. She loved Francis, and could think of no better way to show her affection than to send him
flowers and buy him gifts. She spent hours shopping for him, and could not understand why he doubted her love.
The problem was that Francis was so overwhelmed with his new business that he did not have the
time or energy to focus on Mary's flowers and gifts. They weren't important to him.(1)What he really
needed and wanted from Mary was for her to help him handle some of the demands of his business.
he would ask her to run an errand or make a phone call, and she would''forget'',or say ''I thought it
could wait''or ''I just didn't get to it.''As the days, weeks and months passed, Francis became more
and more direct about his needs. The more he complained about Mary's lack of attention, the more
flowers and gifts he received.
(2)If Mary had just listened to what Francis equated with caring and concern, and had spent a
fraction of the time helping relieve his work-related stress that she did shopping for flowers and gifts, Francis would have been overwhelmed by her thoughtfulness. Mary never did tune into the messages that Francis broadcast; and never appreciated that (3)her view of how to show sympathy
and attentiveness, no matter how well intended, was not share by him. Eventually Francis became
convinced that Mary didn't really care about him, and never would, and ended the relationship.
