“A woman is going to tell you exactly what she needs,” and all that a partner needs to do is listen to them, he continued.
“If a girl is getting frustrated with you on something, she’s definitely told you multiple times” what the problem is, he added. “You’re just not paying attention.”

“Just hearing from him one time check in with me and say, ‘I love you and I hope the day is going well,’” she said, “I just feel safe and I’ve never felt that before.”
She spoke about the importance of feeling like a “unit” in a relationship.
