I disagree. I think developing a durable character with strong preferences is what makes you a genuine being. Saying hard NOs to things that don't fit well in your life and not having to come up for excuses for declining. If you are co

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that you shouldn't make decisions based on what random people on the internet say. By all means read all the replies but the best course of action is to seek professional counsel and

Your testosterone levels are reduced as a man when you become a father [1], I wouldn't be surprised if that affects men's behaviour. Our evolution is complex, I find it fascinating that you can often dig up research with regards t
