I am sorry. I do know you were agreeing with my views on the book. I was getting quite pissed at MrsNOP for her continual nit picking and did not do service to your reply.
I see a 'throwing the baby out with the bathwater' attitude in you. You are so incensed with having given away your power to your mother and then your wife that ALL females are suspect to you.
Again, it is giving away power that upsets me, it is the lack of respect for both sides of an argument and dismissal of one side as irrelevant only because someone says so that bothers me. There is a sense of injustice and unfairness to it.
Even when one is agreeing with you, you don't see it and continue to attack.
Look back to the earlier posts in this thread. I do not think I was so agitated then. These incessant, idiotic back and forth arguments over details is what got me mad. I think I am basically on the same page as you on this topic.
As far as me setting a boundary about sex and MrH changing his behavior lest he lose out on sex, that WAS a joke right? Sarcasm? Satire?
I thought you meant that you have set boundaries of withholding sex as a means to make yourself feel better. If that is what you meant, then I saw that as a confirmation that women can use their emotional state as justification for setting boundaries to control their men. Did I misinterpret this?
I just found it laugh-out-loud amusing that you'd think that one of his motivators was fear of being cut off.
Well, actually I was wondering this. And I think in the back of many men’s minds, they do consider this. It may not be a top consideration, and it may not always be there. But I do think men consider this. Don’t know about your H.
