A wife asks, 'Did you call your mother?' even though she already knows the answer. Or she asks, 'Do you still love me?' despite having years of evidence that her husband does. At first, these questions can seem unnecessary or even confusing. But psychology suggests that a question is not always about getting information. Sometimes, it is about getting an emotional response. For some people, asking a question can be a way to seek reassurance, connection, attention or confirmation that the relationship still feels secure. It does not mean every wife who repeats a question is insecure, and the behavior can occur in anyone. The important clue is often the emotion behind the question rather than the answer itself.
SOMETIMES THE QUESTION IS REALLY ABOUT REASSURANCE
