Do guys like being appreciated?

[Anonymous]

I got into a fight with my boyfriend and it was a big one. He is on business right now. I am thinking of emailing him and telling him that even though we fight sometimes, I think we are going to survive this and that I appreciate him. Would a guy like this or no?

yes

no

[sobg71124]

Yes, and the best way to make him feel appreciated is to make him feel like you NEED him.

[Asker]

But should I send the email?

[sobg71124]

Yes! Tell him how much you love him and appreciate him and need him in your life. And that your life would be empty without him in it.

[Asker]

Not doing all of that...

[sobg71124]

Why not? Is it not true?

[Asker]

No its dumb and retarded. I don't need his dependency.

[sobg71124]

Well, if you don't have those feelings for him, it sounds like you probably shouldn't be with him then, honestly.

[Asker]

I should be with him. Let me give you some advice. A relationship should be of equal not of dependency.

[sobg71124]

You should both need each other! If you have never experienced that kind of vulnerability in love in your, what? 18 long years of life? - Then you haven't even lived yet.

[Asker]

No. Dependency is dangerous, if one dies, the other should fall

[sobg71124]

Wow. Already so jaded for such a young girl. Can't imagine where you ever got such ideas. Such a shame, really.

[Asker]

Oh hush. Your understanding is weak.

[Rahdle]

Everybody likes to be appreciated

[Asker]

But should I send the email?

[Rahdle]

Yeah, why not?

[Asker]

Last two questions:

-Should I send it on the weekend or tomorrow? (Too late today)
-Should I write everything (bit long) or make it short and simple?

[Rahdle]

Send it whenever you want and say "I'm sorry we fought. I feel very bad about it and just want you to know that whether it seems like it or not, I truly and honestly do appreciate you. I'm willing to move past this fight if you are. I think we can survive this fight"

Or something along those lined

Of course guys like being appreciated! You think girls are the only ones that like to be complemented?

[Asker]

Should I email him this?

[JustBoringOldMe]

[Klaatu51]

[Asker]

But should I send the email?

[Klaatu51]

Do it

[DaddyRollingStone]

No, guys love feeling like worthless trash and get off on the thought that if they left their family they would barely even notice he left.

[Asker]

Dude. Should I send him the fucking email or not?

[DaddyRollingStone]

What do you think? You know him better than any person here.

Hell, I'd do it just to put it to rest.

[Asker]

I want to but I dunno how long to make it and when to send it.

[DaddyRollingStone]

Say what you need to say, dont worry how long it is. Send it as soon as you are done so you don't think too hard and chicken out.

[batgirl22]
