What He Says vs. What He Means (And How to Bridge the Gap)


Ever wondered what a man truly means when he says, “Nothing’s wrong,” or “I don’t know”? In this episode, relationship coach
Bob Grant breaks down common phrases men use and reveals their hidden meanings. Learn how to interpret his words, respond in a way that strengthens your relationship, and avoid communication pitfalls that push him away.

Key Takeaways

  • When he says, “Nothing is wrong,” he may be working through something internally—here’s what to do instead of pushing him to talk.
  • “I don’t know” doesn’t mean he’s clueless—it means he’s avoiding a trap. Learn how to ask questions that invite honesty.
  • When he asks, “What’s wrong?” he’s looking for a direct answer—not a long story. Here’s how to get him to listen without overwhelming him.
  • Men communicate differently than women—understanding his emotional wiring can prevent unnecessary misunderstandings.
  • Leading questions can backfire. If you want an honest response, avoid setting him up for failure.
  • He’s not ignoring your feelings—he’s processing them differently. Learn how to create emotional safety so he opens up naturally.
  • Simple shifts in communication can make him feel more connected to you—without forcing him to talk more than he wants to.
