If you agree, here are a few universal truths that men do not say, but want their women to know:
Yes, no rocket science here – men have lots of emotions too! But are they as emotional as women or do they use the same tools to express their emotions? Nah. Men rarely shed tears but rely on other ways to let out their emotions. Few men, for instance, hit the gym and workout for extra hours. Some stop talking and will be in their own space listening to music, watching television etc. Some of course, find peace in alcohol. Just understand your man’s way of expression and act accordingly.
Men love the feeling of being wanted. He loves it when you tell him what you want. No, we are not talking about daily chores! He wants you to tell him your sexual desires.

Of course, everyone wants to be respected and loved. But believe it or not, more than love, men value respect. A man likes a woman who looks up to him. He will not tell you directly, but will certainly hope that you let him know every once in a while that you admire and respect his decisions. The feeling of disregard upsets most men and the feeling of being respected brings in the 'feel good' factor.
This is again something that men will never say or even admit, but yes they are insecure. And we are not talking about just insecurities about you. Be it personal life or professional, there are several insecurities a man has to deal with. At times they are insecure about their performance in handling responsibilities whether at work or at home. Slight but honest affirmations work wonders for them. Affirmation from wife means a lot to a man, so always remember to tell him that he is doing a great job!
Men love taking care of you but do not like the idea of you being totally dependent on him. Yes, he wants you to rely on him for certain things but doing only what he likes, wearing only the clothes he likes, telling him what he likes to listen – tends to annoy them. Of course, it is flattering to do things just what he likes, but not when you lose your own identity. In order to be respected, you need to respect yourself too. Think of it in this way – if you don’t respect yourself, why would he respect you. A strong and independent woman always attracts a modern man.

Whenever a man looks at other women, it doesn’t mean that he is cheating on you or you don’t mean anything to him. It also doesn’t mean that he is fantasying her nor is he thinking of going on a date with her. He has eyes and he is just looking at her, that’s it! You do not have to make this a big issue.
If he doesn’t answer your phone it does not mean that he is avoiding you or is cheating on you. It does not indicate he is upset or looking at your name on his phone screen in disgust. It simply means that he is busy with his work and will call later. Do not read between the lines.

His silence may not always mean anything and he can't be expressive all the time. Most men are silent whenever they are upset. But sometimes, he is just silent and wants to be in his own space. He will listen to music, workout extra, meditate or watch his favourite game and will be back. You might want to do something nice for him in the meanwhile, instead trying to break the silence again and again.
He is not supposed to be your dad so you don’t have to be his mother either. You both are grown-ups, so start doing things like that. Behave as equals and do not treat him like a little boy. There is a big difference in being a parent and a partner. So, understand and respect this.

“Why can’t she simply accept that I am lazy” – said almost every man in this world! Most men procrastinate; they call it slow living. What’s the hurry, what’s the rush? Take it easy policy is what they believe in, and wish, you did too. So, don’t fret about not reaching somewhere on time, his unorganised desk, his clothes lying on the treadmill – blame it all on his laziness and try to chill.
So what if he wants to enjoy an occasional boys’ night and spend time with his friends. He wants you to accept that his friends matter to him. Do not ask him to choose between you and your friends or list his priorities in this matter. You have your own space while his friends have their own in his heart.
