Why are mens emotions so different and

[leeleeaub]

I often wonder why mens emotions are so different and why they seem to never worry. My husband seems oblivious to things that worry me and says I am too sentimental and cry too easy. I wonder if it is just me or if men and women are just that different.

Well, men and women do seem to have different "takes" on all situations. While I tend to worry about my husband any time he is away from me, he says he doesn't worry too much about me when I am out without him because he knows I can take care of myself.

I think about all the "whacko's" in the world, while he doesn't seem to think about it that way.

Does that make sense....LOL!

Men and women ARE different. I've read one study that suggests there are not as many "connectors" in their brains, making it harder for them to recall some memories, whereas women often never forget bad things (it's a self-preservation thing). Men are wired to go out into dangerous situations, go home, and then go out and do it all again. Women are wired to be protectective if they sense anything like something dangerous they've already experienced, at least, that's what I read.

I think the book was called "Why Men Never Remember and Women Never Forget." I believe the author was Marianne Legato, if you'd like to read some of her ideas.

Well, this sums it up:

I often think about this too, Lee. I worry a lot and let things bother me, but my Dh just says, "Don't let it get you down." or "That's nothing to worry yourself about." Sometimes he just too darn happy!!
