Her thoughts were that men needed to be more firm with their women. At least in my experience this is true. If you are falling all over yourself to please them you are making a mistake.
Umm...no. This is not a man-woman thing, and if you think you need to be "firm" with a wife like she's a child - nope. Big nope!
That being said - bending ourselves into pretzels to try to please a partner is generally not helpful. They actually have more respect for us if we stand up for ourselves. I was probably too accommodating in my marriage, because I'm easygoing and my ex was high-maintenance. I didn't expect enough from my ex in the relationship. In my dating life, it appears, the less interested I am, the more interested a guy is. Everybody wants to "win" their partner. I let my ex win too easily.
