A female United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Me and my lover were apart for a few weeks due to a row,anyway we just made up tonight by email because he was at work and he lives in another town from me,anyway he had finished work and said that all this emails had drained him tonight( we were arguing beforehand by email but made up afterwards) and that he was going to bed when he got home.Ok..i know he had been working from 2pm to 10pm tonight but did he really had to say that? I said that i thought he would be pleased that we were in contact again and i didn't realise it was a drain?

Just felt offended by that remark....do you think im over reacting?

mystiquek agony auntI agree completely with Caring Guy. We girls do tend to have deeper meaning behind our words, but guys don't. They say what they mean, and that's why they don't understand us, because we are saying one thing, but sometimes have hidden meanings in the words, assuming that they guys gets us..and guess what?? They don't! Because they don't think like us. As my guy says to me sometimes "You're thinking too deeply..putting things into it that aren't there...." Hope that helps you. I believe your guy really just was tired. Don't make more out of it than that.

A male reader, CaringGuy United Kingdom +, writes (2 June 2010):

A little bit. But here's why. Women look for more meaning in a man's words than there are, because when a woman speaks her words often have a deeper meaning, or a hidden meaning or a hint. Men don't work like that. We pretty much speak literally. When he said he was going to bed, he basically meant he was just tired and was going to bed. There's no hidden meaning or anything like that. He's just saying he will be going to bed. It means nothing else.
