Yes, hilarious indeed.

BTW, Angela, you are right. Men are even-keeled for the most part. And yes, we are at times taken by surprise when a woman suddenly and unexpectedly expresses emotional concerns in the absence of apparent stimulus. In the absence of stimulus that comes from anywhere OUTSIDE her imagination. Nevertheless, many of us are happy to discuss those concerns and internal emotional developments and indeed they are often helpful in forming and defining the relationship.

But here's the part that should be meaningful to you: While many of us are somewhat willing to discuss and work through those emotional interpretations, torpedos will be regarded as acts of aggression. I suppose some men, at least temporarily, will rise to the bait and meet your concerns and challenges with renewed romantic vigor......will accept your assertion that behavior must improve......but some men will not. And few men will rise to that bait regularly, permenently. And......I'm not sure you'd like spending your life with one of those poor saps that will accept constant criticism permanently.

So in other words, yeah, the emotional roller coaster is acceptable to a point. I personally do not need my life tossed into an upheaval, periodically and unexpectedly. That is not the role I invite a woman into my life to play. The role I want played can include discussions about concerns, but upheaval is not in the play book. Just a suggestion. Women sometimes seem to enjoy emotionally slapping guys around sometimes. That is a dangerous game. With some men, the downside to that tactic will outweigh the fun.
