Men in Stressful Situations

Here is a classic example: the husband comes home from work, and his wife tries to 'talk' to him, but it seems that only about five percent of his thoughts are directed towards communicating with her, while the remaining ninety-five are still occupied with work. He is still 'somewhere out there,' his brain is still processing the problem in hopes of finding a solution. The stronger the stress, the more persistent this struggle becomes. In such moments, a man simply can't give a woman the attention and feelings she undoubtedly receives under normal conditions. His mind is entirely consumed with his struggle and unable to switch off. When the solution is finally found, the man seems to come alive, emerges from the cave – and he is once again full of love and attention.
