bachdude Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Wise words here I think. I know a lot of marriages where the woman complains of the man not showing many emotions. But I've come to realise sometimes, some of them aren't stupid, they are doing it on purpose. I personally struggle to seperate the bolded. As in I might stand my ground on something with a girl and appear sensitive. Wen instead it sounds like you might deem it a "take her darts" scenario. It's a tricky science. Be interested as to how you differentiate on those two! Thanks BryanSmiley. By “take her darts” I am thinking of those times when she is not herself such as when she is PMSing or in a crappy mood, or when she delivers a quick comment to take you down a notch. I’m not thinking of anything abusive or manipulative. In my experience, women like their guy to be able to take these darts without taking it personally. By a backbone I am thinking of those times when you need to stand up for what is right, yourself or your family. Regarding having a backbone towards your GF or wife, I think reserve it for when she has crossed a boundary with you, is being manipulative, abusive, or when you genuinely feel strongly about an issue. In my opinion, it doesn’t need to be overused. All of this is IMHO.
