No-no, neither of you seem to see this. He thought he was giving her that message by not ML to "her".......but it was after she gave him oral sex. That doesn't work. It is selfish and certainly sound like an a$$. He should not have let her satisfy him and then tell her he wasn't going to do her. He should have left all of it alone. Why is that so hard to see? Sure, he could be "strong" after his urges were taken care of.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
