Hi fellow men. Today I just ended a short relationship with a woman I really liked at first. I feel a bit sad but also relieved honestly. I felt like it was me or her… if I made her feel secure and reassured, she would trauma dump about how all men need to be educated (she’s a feminist, not that I have something against) and would proceed to brush it as a joke with some “🤣” and “🙈” emojis… She would then tell me about how kind as I was, not like the other men… I don’t know why but I felt not respected at all about my gender and told her I do know how to put boundaries ans that I’m not a dog… She would then proceed to retreat love and completely close or shutdown (very manipulative). It’s like I’'m okay to give emotional security, but as soon as I did she would bash me or men as some form of bad jokes. It is like a never ending cycle where either I made her feel secure and I would become her emotional punching bag, or I just put some boundaries and she’d go away. Men of Reddit, how do you make your woman still feel safe when she doesn’t reciprocate or act this way? Thanks. submitted by /u/Zestyclose_Elk_9356
