As someone who has spent years studying relationships and human behavior, I’ve come to realize that women often keep parts of their emotional world behind closed doors.

All of us as parents have experienced this moment: you ask your kids to do something—anything, like playing with their toys, finishing their homework, or just listening to you—and they just look at you as though you were an insane person and continue acting the way they were before.
