Emily Dickenson once said, “Behavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes.” These words hold more truth than you think because men and women really do display their affections in different ways. While women tend to be more open with their emotions, men have a tendency to hold their cards close to their chest.

Read on to learn about 8 ways in which your man might be telling you he loves you, even though he isn't saying it!
 

This isn't the case for every man, but by and large, women will be better listeners than their partners. So if you notice your man paying close attention to every word that leaves your mouth, it is a clear sign that he values what you are saying and wants to listen to every word!

I can speak from personal experience here dear readers. The moment I knew my man loved me no matter what was the day he sacrificed going to a football game so he could join me for a cookout with my family. That, ladies and gentlemen, is true love!
 

Society has taught men for centuries that showing their emotions so openly is a sign of weakness. Sadly this way of thinking still exists today, but it means if your man is willing to lay it all out for you and make himself vulnerable, he loves you well and truly.
 

We would hope that your man is not purely in love with your looks, but it's definitely a confidence boost when he showers you with compliments on days where you're not feeling your most beautiful. 
 

It goes without saying that anyone who loves you will also be proud of your achievements. But showing such emotions can be a hurdle some men struggle to overcome. So cherish those moments where he is overcome with pride!
 

Soldiers come in all shapes and sizes. If your man has your back then that's a clear sign that he is completely and utterly head over heels for you. Think back to the last time he stood his ground for you, didn't it make you love him all the more?
 

Obviously fighting in a relationship is never fun and that certainly isn't what we're referring to here. However, if he isn't afraid to start a fight to ensure you still love him, then that is also a sign he loves you. He no doubt fears losing you and will fight for you at all costs, even if that means starting an argument with you!
 

This one is a no-brainer. If he loves and respects you, then, of course, he will extend that love and respect to those you care about too. Even if he doesn't love every family member or friend, he will keep his opinions to himself out of respect to you. That's true love :)
