I've had many scientists here talk to me about hormone fluctuations and how that impacts how someone feels.
But what this means in our romantic relationships is sometimes we meet each other on very different wavelengths.
So in my relationship, my partner's probably seen me cry once in seven years.
Maybe twice, but probably once.
I've probably seen her cry...
500 times, maybe more.
So it feels, it almost feels like, and it's going to be completely honest because I just think it's helpful so you can fuck me up online if you want to, but it sometimes feels like
We're a different species.
Like the way that I interact with my guy friends and the way that the sort of wavelength that my romantic partner, my girlfriend operates on are very, very different.
So it's very easy to like misunderstand.
And we spend a lot of time talking about how men need to be more emotional and more, I don't know, men need to change how they are because it's the problem.
But what about the other side of that?
Which is...
Do women also need to think about, do we need to meet in the middle?
That's what I'm saying.
There's certainly a space to meet in the middle.
Like who's right in that?
I don't know.
Is there a person that's right in this configuration?
Am I meant to be way more emotional and be, or is she meant to be way more composed?
