Why is it so hard for some people to express when they miss someone?

[Anonymous]

I’m always the one to tell my boyfriend I miss him. Today I told him I missed me after not seeing him for a few days. He said “ you are missed as well”. Like why can’t you just say I miss you too

You never tell a woman how you truly feel. That's asking for trouble. Every guy knows this, or learns it the hard way. You either give her just enough to satisfy her. Or if you don't feel this way you pretend you do just enough to satisfy her. The minute a woman knows you love her as deeply as her or more that's when she knows she has you. That's when she changes and trues to rule you. And don't get offended by this. Guys don't want this but we know it's how it has to be. Being in a relationship with a woman is like holding onto a Timberwolve by the ears. If you let go at anytime it WILL turn and bite you.

Omg I wish someone would’ve told me this growing up. Makes complete sense. Thank you so much

No problem. I do my best to advise men and women here alike. I try to tell all the guys as well, "always remember all women have a little crazy in them". I don't mean this as an insult. It's just my short way of saying all women are motivated by thier emotions. And a guy has to always be cognizant of that. Emotions are seldom rationale this is why women APPEAR irrational to men at times. They're rationale, they're just letting thier emotions take hold of them in this instance. Believe it or not this is actually a good thing. Because if women weren't like this they would NEVER stay married to men through all the stupid s*** we do.😆 likewise I tell guys a good woman knows when she's being over emotional or irrationale a good woman does her best to control it while a bad woman will ALWAYS make and excuse for it.
Men and women just think differently. This was God's design because men are weak where women are strong. And guys are strong where women are we. Neither gender is BETTER than the other. We're compliments to eachother. But it's these differences that make it so hard to see eye to eye. That's why it's oh so important to be agreeable, willing to compromise, and to build trust. Because even if you're married 30 years. You'll still never be 100% on the same page.

Embracing an emotion strengthens it. They may be trying to suppress it. Not the healthiest option, I know that firsthand. But still a common one.
