Nice Guys, as described in that book, are the worst type of man... they are SO mentally and emotionally abusive, it just takes my breath.
Part of me was doing some serious 'venting' from my Center of Universe Chair when I wrote that, so please keep that in mind. I contributed to the bad dynamic of my marriage by not sticking up for myself and not drawing and maintaining healthy boundaries.
Though... in my experience... I do see Nice Guys like that as very manipulative... and just from my own life, I have a hyper-sensitivity to manipulation. So you can see where this might not be the best 'mix' for me. Yet... I continued to seek it out for most of my life... for you will continue to repeat that which you do not fix in yourself.
