The psychology behind why some men have trouble finding the right words to describe how they feel about their partner, by avrum_weiss
Because we have only the one word, "love," to describe such a range of feelings in a relationship, men get confused about when they are in love.
Because we equate "love" with marriage, women hesitate to use the word first, worrying it will scare a man off.silhouette of 2 person sitting on boat during sunsetWhen I was a kid, my parents were very persnickety about language.
Because we only have the one word, “love,” to describe such a wide range of feelings, and because, like my parents, we are socialized to equate love with, many straight couples get stuck in a bit of a standoff about who is going to use the word first. Women are socialized to believe that marriage is something that women want and men don’t, so they hesitate to say “I love you” forthat their partner will hear this as a marriage proposal and run for the hills.
This approach immediately lets men off the hook. Men don’t have to struggle in isolation, trying on their own to figure out the right word to describe how they feel about their partner. Love is an experience that is shared between two people. Whatever any man is feeling is just his own version of what two people in a relationship both feel. The two of them have to work together to figure out the right words to describe how they feel.
From a relational perspective, it is only through intimate relationships that we become most fully ourselves. Everyone has within them the potential for the full range of emotional experience. We are all capable of feeling everything, but that potential only comes fully alive in relationships. For example, I might think of myself as a person who does not get angry. No matter what the circumstances, I pride myself on never getting angry.
