The way i see it…
the relationship between men and woman is very complex…
When a woman loves a man she starts to doubt everything he says. Does he REALLY love me? ect. because she thinks its too good to be true. She starts doubting herself and when does she does, her lover uses that without meaning to (well hopefully without meaning to). All she wants to hear is that shes worth something and then mabey she’ll start to belive it. She clings to him to make herself feel lke he needs her.
Men are looking for a woman who reminds him of his mother. Does she cook like my mother? Is she as loving as my mother? Is she going to be as good of a mother as my mother is? He trys to himd that one woman who makes him feel as safe as his mother does.
