most wholesome thing I saw all week

It was such a sweet heartwarming story until I got to the wedding picture and then I immediately thought "OKAY kinda fuck this guy. Can't even tuck your shirt in for your wedding?? Why are you wearing a tie for a small boy?"

I don't want to prescribe motivations without knowing them, but this dude clearly doesn't want to try to be attractive either.

It was so disrespectful to his wife IMO. Like look at how much effort she went through to look nice for him and he doesn't even gaf enough to do the same for her.

I would imagine she doesn't feel disrespected and doesn't mind, but I would haha

Or maybe the smiling girl who actually knows him and is marrying him wasn't offended at all.

Then she might have low self worth

prescribe motivations

ascribe

Can't it be either?

It's pretty clear what the intent was, but "prescribe" really isn't correct here. You aren't prescribing anything, you're describing if anything. Prescribe has to involve giving somebody or something a directive.

I thought that's why it made sense, since I'm giving them emotions they might not have.

But I do take your point and I do love a good technical detail.

He beat me to the explanation. Prescribe isn’t remotely correct in this situation; describe isn’t correct either.

Ascribe has a specific meaning: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ascribe

The closest words in context might be presume, or attribute.
