No, I don't think that him threatening me would make me feel the attraction. In fact I have at times told him to go ahead and find someone else, take the pressure off of me. Then I will go find someone else to feel my needs.

On the other hand, he's been talking about going for a promotion at work for years but has yet to finish the required classes, etc. It absolutely drives me crazy. No one is going to hand him a promotion. So, yes if he were to step up, I would probably be more attracted to him. I really do want to be married to a Man, not a little boy.

How do you explain that to him without screwing up his self esteem anymore?
