Sigh. Why do men allow women to emotionize them out of their own property? I mean, I'm assuming she just made you sleep on the couch, but personally, I think that's a bit dehumanizing. Why do we, as a culture, accept that?
Yes, I realize she was hopped up on hormones. There are plenty of other examples, though, where women get some kind of "right" to kick men out of their own place when they feel emotionally sidelined. Are women really so emotionally fragile that this needs to happen?
- jonsen 17y agoThere are always (at least) two ends of a relationship. You can never put the blame at one end only.
- midnightmonster 17y agoI've rarely heard "in the doghouse" to mean literally sleeping in the doghouse, or even sleeping on the couch. IME, it just means "in trouble", i.e., she was upset with him for a while. I agree that "making" a man sleep on the couch is not acceptable in the sorts of cases that folklore usually reports for it, but (and maybe I just know more reasonable couples?) I don't often see it happen in real life.
- HeyLaughingBoy 17y agoNo, it's because the men acquiesce. The few times my wife has been angry enough to tell me to sleep on the couch, I've just said no. What happens then is she sleeps on the couch then wakes up a few hours later because it's too uncomfortable and comes into bed next to me. Our "unspoken rule" now is that neither of us has the right to kick the other out of bed. If one of us is that upset, then it's up to him/her to sleep somewhere else.
