what to do? give up?

There are some things that most guys just don't "get". You can either continue banging your head against a wall or you can accept that he comes to things from a different perspective and does not have the ability to see things from your perspective. You either accept him with his lack of insight or you try to find someone who is more "sensitive". Good luck with whichever choice you make.

Well, women have different needs than men. Most if not all of the women, needs assurance...needs to feel that they matter and what they are feeling matters with the people they love. But sometimes man do not understand that... that there are things that women is looking back for more just like how the man is looking back for more s*xual pleasure, to their needs of releasing... you know what I mean. In things like this, communication is the answer.

All women want to be validated, it such a small thing, it doesn't take much to do, but women apreciate it. Men don't know what to do until they get married, when you get married you learn how to ommunicate with women,if not it can be meserable for both of you. Some times you got to let them go and find out what they really had. It sad but men are really hard to communicate with.

I've been in this situation before, and it took me awhile to realise it, but if you're with someone who either ridicules your feelings, or ignores them, then there's very little point to the relationship. As women, we often think we can change someone, but the truth is, they're never going to change. So it comes to the point where you need to decide whether you want to stay in an unequal relationship or just move on.
