Interpreting what a guys says

Ladies, please stop trying to read things into what a guys says. We say what we mean. My roommate's fiancee got incredibly mad at him today because she tried to interpret a text he sent. Interpret your female friends all you want since you likely need to, but just take guys at what we say, ok? It will cause you far less stress.

There is really good discussion here and I don't want to change the subject, but I can't message you.



Are you sure that this is an interpretation problem? Her reaction seems like an insecurity problem to me? That's quite a stretch from what he said to what she accused him of. Is your roommate sure that he want to spend the rest of his life with a woman that doesn't want him spending time with anyone but her? That's a lot of insecurity and sounds like it would quickly become an emotional prison.



Just a thought,

Rose

Rose, I didn't really want to bring that into the discussion, since it was kind of two discussions, but I agree with you somewhat. They hung out pretty much every day this last summer because he didn't really like his roommate, so I imagine it's tough for her not to get to see him as much. I also assume she just wanted to be doing something with him, even if it only involved studying their own separate subjects. It was just really frustrating that she couldn't address these concerns with him in any sort of a calm manner. Instead she just got upset because she projected her feelings onto the facts of a situation.

Like I said, I know this is their relationship and not mine, but his relationship with her affects my relationship with him quite a bit. I just wish everybody could get along!

The basic problem with interpreting what a guy says is that a lot of the time, he says nothing.

He hemmss and haawwwsss around the topic, gives no straight answer of his own and is confusing.

Half the time he tries to put it back on the woman as to what he really said or meant or is trying to say.



Or even worse.....he does as someone on this topic previously said, and he says what he thinks the woman wants to hear. Then when he doesn't DO what he said, he blames it on her because he really said it to just make HER feel better.

Whats really weird? I understand exactly what I just typed! EEEEKKKK....!!! :-)



I need some ice cream!!

If that's the case, then you've been hanging out with the wrong guys.

Perhaps what you are trying to say is that women tend to interpret what a guy did not say, which can get them in trouble. I was not given he gift of reading minds, nor do I see it as a gift of the Spirit. Perhaps us women should simply ask for clarifications and go with the knowledge we have.
