“The problem I see is that women these days tend to use sex as a “reward” and the witholding of it as a “punishment”.”
You mean the punishment is unfair. One poor buddy of mine has to follow instructions to the letter or his “punishment” is doled out. That means he can’t even have a beer on a Wednesday with me or leave the house after work.
After extensive counseling his therapist said she’s crazy and he should proceed with moving on sooner rather than later. But having run into her unplanned once, I saw she’s crazy like a fox.
The treachery. Wish I did not know and later she pulled me aside from him to “apologize” about something. She wanted to make me aware that “he didn’t know.”
He told me another time later how some people think she’s the good wife and how she plays it up but that it’s not true. Wish I could tell him how right he is about that.
The “punishment” has apparently come full circle.
Your poor buddy. Reminds of those poor guys you see in the stores who are carrying all the children, pushing a cart, and their wife yells at them in public for not doing enough. I know a guy who will say he has always wanted to one thing or another, but his wife won’t let him.
