something tells me you're not married...ever get told "you can be alone, or you can be wrong"?...and from a lot of experience in what not to do, you're method ends up with "alone".
there are people who have healthy relationships and accept what it takes to keep them...i'm not one of them myself but, hey evidently mbailey is married to one he wants to keep.
Been married nearly 30 years. Though it hasnt always been smooth and we've had our fair share of troubles. But, Im still here and so is she. I respect her and she respects me. I gave up being afraid of my wife after 6 or 7 years. Wish I had done it sooner. Women will abuse that power if you let em. Most men let em under the guise that they will loose them if they dont. But if you loose a woman because you refuse to kiss her butt all the time. Was she really worth having to begin with?
Thats not to say one needs to be abusive or uncooperative Or that you shouldnt do things for them. But dont allow yourself to be walked on either. Women dont put up with it. Why should you?
