I went outside and carried her to my room then took my blankets to the living room. I told her that even though I was angry at her, it doesn't mean I wouldn't be kind/sweet to her.

Interesting thing to do... not saying it's bad, but interesting.

If someone says they will do something, they should. Otherwise, they should not agree to it, and move on. This is a sign of responsibility.

Note: I didn't say this is YOU or not, I said "someone" so it can apply to anyone who reads that statement. You decide whether it applies to you or not, don't get hung up on technicalities either.

I get what I want without having to be a jerk about it. Pushover? You have no idea how manipulative I can be. I grew up with 3 older sisters so I've learned a thing or two about women. I deal with them using their own tricks against them. I've made some women absolutely miserable while still being the nice guy, having never raise my voice or resort to "basic" tactics.

In the end, I win because they always apologize first (unless I am at fault, then I apologize first).

Just because you don't know how to play the game doesn't make me a pushover, stinky.

At the end of the day, isn't it more conducive to a relationship to say, "Hey, honey, I'll help you finish that load of laundry so that we can go to bed together." Instead of slamming doors and throwing accusatory remarks such as "you NEVER do the laundry" when that person just did it last weekend, and on top of that they put aside their responsibilities for the day so that you could enjoy your off day together. Wow look at that awful grammar.

If you don't like what he's doing, dump his ass. If that's who he is, why on earth would you want to stay with him? If it's not, then why are you painting such an ugly picture of him?
