For men, actions speak louder than words or emotions.

It can be difficult for women to see where the relationship is going, if their partner gives no clue of what they are thinking or feeling about the relationship. You might feel that he is holding back, not telling you the truth or, worse, that he doesn’t love you anymore. It’s time to turn down the emotions and cut out the assumptions. It’s time to change your tactics. Instead of waiting to hear what he’s feeling or thinking or  badgering him for information (as the case may be), check out his actions.

For men, actions speak louder than words or emotions. For women, however, showing our emotions and talking about them is very important. We tend to jump to conclusions and assume that something is wrong in the relationship or with ourselves, if he is not showing his emotions like we do. As Morgana explains in the video, that does not mean there is a problem with the relationship.

Watch what he does. Does he talk a lot on the phone or send out lots of emails or texts? If not, how does he communicate his needs or affections? Check out how he interacts with his male and female friends. Does he hug or shake hands? If you don’t know (and even if you think you know the answers), take the next few days to watch. You’ll be enlightened.

While you are watching him, check your own reactions to his actions. Do you feel jealous when he hugs a female friend? Does it matter if he emails or texts someone more than you?

Another thing to consider if you’re not getting what you want: Have you asked for it? As Morgana says, “You can never get mad at a man for not giving you what you in a relationship if you didn’t ask for it.” If there is something you need in a relationship, tell him, but don’t nag or hold it against him. Allow him to fulfill your need in time and in his way.
