I'm not saying all men are like this but rest assured the Caveman is alive and well.

And so who, do you think, is reponsible for the majorty of emotional abuse ?
The bottom line is abusive
people use what weapons they've got. For example;a woman may continue a barage of emotional abuse, until they achieve the goal of "bringing out the Caveman" . . .sometimes just to heighten 'sexual energy' in the relationship . . .sometimes to show-off her power . . .sometimes to send the guy to jail (a baited power-play)
What I'm reading in your posts (dmoo') is one of the biggest Caveman behaviours; the "rescuer behaviour."
How does the song go; " a woman in trouble is a temporary thing."

Yes, the Caveman is, apparently, alive and well.
