Are you the one who is always telling, asking, organizing in your partnership? Is your husband so monosyllabic and is it getting on your nerves? Why doesn’t he talk, you ask yourself?
One explanation is that men actually use statistically fewer words than women for evolutionary reasons and the second is that women use language and communication to connect with other people, so there is definitely a social component to it. Men, on the other hand, tend to only need conversations to exchange information.
Does this help you to understand your partner better?
