Hey, man, I've been married 35 years, in part by not saying things that I've studied as a scientist at home.
Yeah, no.
No, no, no.
It's a, you know, one of the things that actually creates a lot of friction in a lot of marriages is that men who have naturally more muted affect, less intense in the positive and negative, they tend to be more prone less toward the expression of the emotions and more toward solutions.
And so one of the biggest mistakes that husbands make is, like, as soon as their wife says something rotten that's going on at work, you say, okay, here's what you need to do.
I say, no, no, that's not what needs to happen here.
She needs to express that because that in and of itself is healing.
That's a really important thing that she needs to tell you about it.
She doesn't need your explanation for it.
And she needs to actually go to the terminus of this expression.
She doesn't need you to cut her off and say, okay, go back to your boss and tell her.
But when did they develop?
Yeah.
So that's a really good question.
There's a couple of things going on there.
To begin with, most evolutionary biologists would suggest that women have more intense emotions and are more in touch with their feelings because they are more relational insofar as they have a higher investment in caregiving and the cohesiveness of the kin-based family unit.
So it's like for children?
Yeah, it's for children.
I have adult kids and grandkids and when everybody's around.
Two of my three kids are Marines actually, yeah.
