A relationship is not just made of kisses, hugs and photos on Instagram. Partners also have wants, questions, needs, and expectations.
In general, women tend to be more open and talk to their partners about these topics. Men, on the other hand, almost always avoid talking about feelings at all costs.

However, that doesn't mean they don't also have emotional needs. On the contrary! Therefore, they suffer silently, without the courage to talk to their partner about what they are feeling in the relationship. Silly, isn't it?
7 Things Men Need In A Relationship But Don't Tell Their Partners
praise and approval
We all have an ego that needs to be softened from time to time. With men, this intensifies. They like to receive compliments and, from time to time, seek approval from their partners. They just pretend they don't need it.
So, whenever possible, give that “cookie” to your boyfriend, fiancé or husband. Talk about what you find attractive about him and extol his features.
Respect
It's like the saying goes: "respect is good and I like it". In fact, everyone likes it, doesn't it?
In a relationship, this is more than essential, because you are building a life together. So, they need to get along well together and understand each other's limits.
Connection
Society built the idea that man is a strictly sexual being and doesn't care much about connections with his partner or partner. But that is not true.
They also want and seek that spark strong enough to walk a life together. And for that, it takes a little bit of effort on your part and his too.
emotional intimacy
Everything that involves a man's feelings tends to be hidden – at this point in the text, you should have already realized that.
To express what they feel, they need a certain amount of intimacy and a certain amount of safe space. That's when they show their most vulnerable side - and whoever is with him needs to provide that bubble.
Space
This goes for everyone, not just men. Having a space for yourself is extremely important to develop your own independence, put your ideas in place and live well.
It's a big mistake to think that, being in a relationship, everything needs to be done as a couple. Sometimes being still, silent and enjoying solitude is the best medicine.
physical touch
This might come as a surprise, wouldn't it? This is because the idea has been built up throughout society that men are not affectionate and do not like physical touch. But they like it, yes.
After all, who can resist a cafuné, right? But just like anyone else, it's important to know your boundaries. And also know if this is the love language from him.
Security
Lastly, a man needs some security to be in a relationship with someone. Both men and women need a certain amount of confidence and a sense of being out of danger in order to move forward in a relationship.
Only in this way will they be able to loosen up a little more and engage in something in the long term.
