In Germany, Father’s Day is celebrated on Ascension Day, 40 days after Easter, and involves men going on hikes with wagons full of beer and food.
In Thailand, Father’s Day is celebrated on December 5, the birthday of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who is considered the father of the nation. People wear yellow and give their fathers canna flowers.

RELATIONSHIPS

I’ve been dating a truly wonderful man for about six months. We communicate really well and have a strong relationship—so much so that people often remark that it seems we’ve been together much longer than half a year. We’ve had a few hardships like illness that we have worked through together and have come out stronger afterward.

But here’s the problem: He doesn’t know why he loves me. I’ve spoken with him at length about why I love him. All his lovely qualities and the way he makes me feel. I believe it when he says he loves me, but when I asked him to tell me why, he said “I don’t have an answer for you.” He’s totally articulate and can talk about our relationship for hours at a time, so the issue isn’t that he is at a loss for words. He has also expressed that he doesn’t love me the same way I love him and that if we ever broke up he thinks he would be able to move on without being devastated. Is his inability to express why he loves me a red flag? Or are there simply many ways of loving a person, and not knowing the reason why is completely valid?
