Emotional maturity instead of emotional neediness! You can connect with your woman without verbally expressing your dependence. She's not a chicken salad sandwich; she can read you through your actions and your leadership.
In my world, if I was to start talking about a need for admiration and affection and hand holding, my wife would take one look at me and say, "why don't you watch 'Bethenny Getting Married' she'll teach you a little about confidence and independence."
Steve is right on the money OIN.. You ARE coming across as becoming the feminine one in the relationship and her the masculine one.. ROLE REVERSAL.. That is NOT good....
We know he's masculine too! Yep, these affairs and attempting to fix them are a classroom on psychology and dymanics of power in relationships.
This role reversal happens all the time!
Another one, if a females "personal boundary" space kicks you out of "masculine space", and she's actively enforcing this with her games, tests, etc... It will do the same thing.
They don't have to physical cheat on us to cheat us.
