I think it's more about standing up for yourself when necessary. We put up with a lot of crap because we are "afraid" of the other half thinking bad about us. But in reality, no one wants to be with a (complete) pushover.

My guy specifically said he wishes I had "put him in his place" more often when he was "treating me badly." (I don't think he ever treated me badly, just not as amazingly as he used to.)

Any guys care to weigh in on this???
