Guys - Do you feel bullied/intimidated/used by your girlfriend/s

Have you ever been in a relationship with a woman (question applies to males mostly) where you feel she bullies you to get what she wants, play games, or you could feel intimidated by her or even just perhaps a little scared because she is capable of alot of things and she is to clever. Girls can blackmail and manipulate so well, men have 7 ways to detect they are lying, they say women have about 36 ways of hiding lies and manipulation. Its embarrassing this, you cant exactly go up to your mates and say yo my bird taking piss, i feel like im being a bully victim, my sister just laughed

I'm not a guy, and i'm not here to tell you how they feel. The thing that came into my mind was, if someone feels that they are being bullied, if they feel intimidadted of even feeling used by someone, should they really be in a relationship with this person?

I would also be very interested in hearing the seven ways you can tell if a woman is lying, i'll keep them in mind for the next time I tell a fib :p: Only joking.

My eldest brother says that I bully him. So does my Dad sometimes (but he says that jokingly).. Wonder how I'll be like when in a relationship!

.some guys like to be pushed over by women, its just their taste/

I like to think of it as sort of guiding towards the right decision, rather than manipulating.

****ty mind games is what it is. Personally, I can't understand how people have so much time to play such dumb mind games... Especially when everything could be so great and easy.

It's getting what you want by bullying threatening to leave, chatting ****, getting upset, making you feel like a **** boyfriend, making you feel like you're the reason the world is so ****ed up, saying one thing, but meaning another, yet acting sincere, which leads to trust issues. How do you know if they're lying or not when they say something.

These stupid games can lead you to being pushed away.

Pah, women. :wink:

Grow a pair and leave her.

Submissive guys annoy me so much. There's a difference between 'sensitive' guys who are still blokes and can stand up for themselves when need be, and wimps who'll just let their girlfriends nag them into oblivion.

Would mr1 like to tell us where he got the numbers from?

And perhaps if you are not happy in your relationship, breaking it may be the clever thing to do.

Aye, but I'm yet to meet any of the majority.

Also, Pikaboo - there is also a difference between normal guys who just give in for want of an easy life, and those who pine around their woman, who ask what they could do next for their girlfriends.

Also what do you do if you're in love with someone, who isn't a nagging pain in the arse all the time, but becomes one? It gets a lot harder to 'grow a pair' and leave then.

Girlfriends that I've seen only seem to become nags when they're allowed to get away with it...if the expectations of how you treat each other are laid down early in the relationship, with a mutual understanding of how to respect each other (which after all is what love is based on!) then it shouldn't be a problem.

My friend likes his girlfriend to sit on him, although shes about 20 stone.

You either do something about it, make your partner understand that their behavior is unacceptable and the relationship will suffer if they continue, or you leave.

Things like this are always your choice, and you are the only person to blame if you are being taken advantage of.

OP, you're not my boyfriend are you? You sound like him anyway, when I give him permission to speak...
