[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a recurrent complaint that married men are often not able to meet the emotional needs of their wives. Is it because men just don’t care? Or it because men don’t understand and/or know how to address those emotional needs? [/quote]

Often, and I'll get hate for this, it's because how they are treated by their wives.  A man isn't going to be loving and caring when his wife is attacking him for everything he does.  This is in particular when she's a SAHM and he goes two work to support the family.  Yes, SAHM is work also but when the attacks come he doesn't feel appreciated for what he brings to the table - which is a lot because it literally pays the bills.

Therefore, it's a snowball effect.  [b]Husband only works and checks out at home.[/b] Wife doesn't appreciate husband.  Husband feels resentful.  Both don't show affection.  Both assume it's the other spouse's job to show affection. [/quote]

You missed Step 1 of ruining your marriage. Here it is.
