 LOVE ON THE ROCKS

Love stories generally build up to a romantic climax and then end, leaving us with the impression
that the couple lived happily ever after. Sadly, reality is rarely as rosy as this. At first nothing
matters beyond being together - no sacrifice is too great if it helps you spend more time with the
person you love. But when romance starts to wear off, as it does unfortunately, little
misunderstandings start occuring, causing friction, irritation, long cold silences or angry rows
A_____

Why is there this friction between men and women? John Gray thinks he knows the answer.
B_____. Men and women respond to problems in very different ways and consequently have very
different emotional needs. When people insist on their own needs and don’t really appreciate the
needs of their partners there is bound to be friction.

Women, typically, deal with problems and stresses by talking about how they feel. A woman may
easily feel overwhelmed and by talking she will find relief and feel less upset. There is no need
necessarily to deal with the practicalities of the problem - they are of secondary significance.

Whereas women want to talk and talk about their problems, men withdraw into the caves of their
mind to focus on solving the problem. A man's self-esteem is built on a sense of how competent he
is, C _____. Asking for help or idly expressing how terrible you feel is perceived as an admission of
weakness and incompetence.

Task A Insert the sentences/clauses in the corresponding blank and complete the boxes with A, B or C. There is
one extra sentence.

1 The root cause of the problem, apparently, is that men and women don't
understand just how different they are emotionally.
2 so he feels he must develop the skills to solve his problems on his own.

3 and the rosy image of love can result in a deep sense of disillusion.

4 however, he may search for advice quite often.

Task B Circle T for true and F for false. Correct the false statement/s on the blank line/s below.

4 Women talk more widely about their emotions than men. T F

5 Men tend not to talk about their emotions because they are not sensitive. T F
