3. Explain your feelings
In general, guys are not emotional human beings. Those who are truly emotional (which is cute) try so much to hide it (annoying!). If you only act out your emotions to your man and expect him to respond to your needs, the result you will get is something like giving an oral lecture to a deaf and dumb person and expecting an accurate, written summary afterward. Impossible!
Instead of expecting the impossible to happen, simply help him out by explaining how you feel instead of acting it out. Don’t shout and throw up your hands in the air while yelling at him if you are exasperated. One- he cannot hear your words above your annoying shrieking voice.
Two- you may as well be stretching your hands because they are paining or you are just speaking tongues and doing accompanying acts. These are unrelated possibilities but the mind of guys works more logically than we can decipher. Simply, come out and talk to him.
He is no emotional therapist and so he cannot assume possibilities. Besides, making assumptions is tiring and he would rather just play a game.
