I ain't buying that for a second. What she would say is "He was a blast to be around, he f*cked me silly and took great care of me but I left him for another guy who did all three even better."
If stays with the inferior man because he needs her more, that's Dysfunction 101.
I agree if she hasn't committed to him and his puppy is weak rather than strong. However, as my little story illustrated, I believe that a relationship is a dance of the animals and if she felt herself to be with an inferior man this was at least 50% due to the fact that she was an inferior woman. I don't understand why a man would want to be with the woman who won't do her fair share in the relationship. I would hypothesize that the man who is willing to be with such a woman is the inferior man. People want to be used but not abused. Wanting to be useful is not a sign of dysfunction although needing to be needed is.
