Even the most expressive guys have moments when they don't feel like talking to anyone, including you. Is it something you did? Maybe. Here, explanations for his zipped lips.
| He's Feeling Guilty |
Women are smart - like, Nancy Drew smart - and guys know it. When your man has committed a minor crime (like casually e-mailing an ex), he may get quiet to avoid incriminating himself. Brendan*, 29, admits to that kind of behaviour. 'I went to my girlfriend's place after going out for happy hour. Since I had lied and told her I was working late, I just stared at the TV all night because I was scared I would let something slip accidentally.' Don't worry - the occasional silence of this kind is usually only indicative of a small faux pas, not a major offence. |
