Psychological research shows that men get their emotional needs met through sex, which is why men mistaken sex for a need when sex is actually a drive. It seems ‘weird’ to your husband because he is a man and this is how they get their emotional needs met.
For some women, they can have their emotional needs met through sex, but often having a heart to heart and deep conversation, often with female friends is how they get their emotional needs met. Men don’t tend to have this. They tend to bond with other men over things like sport. They don’t have heart to hearts and they’re rarely, if ever, vulnerable in front of each other. They can be vulnerable with a woman. This is why men rely on women emotionally far more than women do men.
