For women, love and admiration go together. Men understand that a woman cannot love a man she does not admire.
For a man, when a woman belittles him in front of others, what she's really communicating, whether she realizes it or not, is that it's time for him to move on.
I tend to agree with you. If a woman is treating a man in a contemptuous way she has no respect for him and basically does not love/like him very much. Its just a bad match.
Same goes for men. A man who disrespects his wife does not love/like her.
I don’t buy into all this cultural psycho babble. Women are not that complicated. I are one. LOL!
