Can anyone tell me why it is so hard for a man to love me the way that I love him?

Are they capable? Yes

Unfortunately not all Men know how to express love. Whether it be pride, insecurity or just plain stupidity... a lot of us bottle up our emotions. We are trained to not be Sissies, the Big boys don't cry mentality.

An other important factor is in the difference between the way men and woman think. By nature woman are more global thinkers and are much more emotional. Men on the other hand are compartmentalized. We typically deal with one issue at a time and when resolved it gets tucked away into its own compartment.

Not all Men or Woman are created equal. Each of us is unique. I know some men that are overly affectionate and emotional... me included.

As for this man you love... if you truly love him... just keep loving him. Can you change him? maybe a little over time...

The most significant and powerful way to change, to learn what true love is and how to express it is by going to the Author and creator of Love.

My life and ability to love "with all my being" is a product of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He is the source of love.

If you have ever met a woman who has been divorced I think your theory that women love with all of their being is a little, say... unlrealistic.

Men have different needs and motivations and demands put on them externally. They will always need something different in a relationship than a woman. But the bond that a man feels when he loves his partner is very strong and men sacrifice huge amounts of time and energy and freedom and even their own dreams in relationsips, and every man that says I Do risks losing half of what he's worked for his whole life.

I hope a different perspective leaves you feeling less alone and confused.

I'd like to believe so, but there has to be some mega-hyper-compatibility goin on. The truth is, no person, neither male nor female, is capable of the "all of their being" love that you suggest. Everyone has moments and even periods of selfishness. The flames of romantic love do not last long at the highest setting, people tend to get burned out. Only the warm and smoldering embers of committed love, can weather the cold times to see the romantic flames rekindled again.

The answer is yes, but not immediately.

Men tend to fall in love quickly but don't reach the true depth potential of love for many years. This is why you see such a high divorce rate among young couples in the first 5-8 years of marriage.

Women are natural nurturers and are also naturally in tune with their emotions. Men are not wired that way. That does not mean that they don't feel deeply, but it does mean that they don't always understand what they are feeling.

I speak from personal experience and from the wisdom passed down to me from my Grandmother. My husband loves me, but he didn't always, and still doesn't completely, do the things to show me his love like I do for him. Initially he thought he didn't love me anymore, but the truth was that he was just falling away from the "infatuation" phase and didn't understand that there are phases and depths to love.

Once we talked it out and talked with an older and wiser person (My Gram) we both understood that the love we shared from life experience, while not the booming fireworks of initial lust, was far more meaningful.

As we have progressed through our marriage he sees more and more through the years how much I love him and he appreciates it more as he gets older and more mature himself. For women, loving comes naturally....for men it takes some practice.

A friend once told me "My husband doesn't love me like I need him to. I'm tired of being the one who gives the most. I'm thinking about leaving." To her I gave this advice.....to you I will share the same:

Do you want to have invested your love and your time for nothing....someday when he grows up, for real, he will understand what you sacrificed and what you gave him unconditionally and he will fall more in love with you than you can imagine. Do you want to be there when he has that epiphany? Or do you want to have invested all this time for some other woman to relish in your succes? Take the high road and do what you know to be right. In the end, he will appreciate it and you will get back all that you have put in.

God Bless and Merry Christmas

That is a very good question,i've noticed that some men love a woman who act like them.I have a sister that doesn't try hard,she gives him a lot of space,he calls her everyday, she very rarely calls him,and he always asking to be with her.I asked why she was acting this way she said she learned that you have to give them want they want.Men are comfortable with a woman always chasing,wanting them,and being available all the time they will take you for granted and they lose interest.

There are so many great men out there. Love "with all of their being?"... hmmm... that would be hard for me and I'm a woman. But when you find the right guy willing to love you the way you love him, you will know by the way he treats you.

If you're in love with a man, but he doesn't love u the way u love him, then you have to move on, you just have to move on, cause he doesn't feel the same way, but someday, a man will have feelings for you like u have feeling for him, don't worry, love for you will come.

of course their capable but maybe he's just scared.....or maybe even it might be dat hes not ready for da kinda relationship your ready for ya know.....or he just might not love you and doesnt wana hurt you there's alota different reasons why and im pretty sure he's capable of it everyone is.....but if you want a realy true honest answer you may just need to talk to him and ask him why.....

hehe that depends on the man you find. some men are more passionate about love and others just don't really care...

yes i think it is possible for men to love women with all their beings, but i dont think it is possible to show it. i think that is the problem.
