Study Finds Couples Over 55 Say “What?” More Than “I Love You”

Research shows that among couples over 55, the phrase “What?” is more commonly used than “I love you.” A survey of 2,000 adults in relationships revealed that 46% of couples have argued due to miscommunications, with 28% engaging in arguments over mis-hearings multiple times a week. The study found that not being listened to can lead to feelings of frustration (42%), being ignored (33%), feeling disconnected (19%), and even unloved (11%). (Talkingpoints)
