Break Her or Lose Her

Play or get played.

You've heard it before.
You've heard it and thought, nah, it's not always like that.

If you do not dominate your woman and break her from time to time, she will not respect you.
You become like every other fucking jerkoff out there that bends over backwards for her all the time.

My girl is being vacant and has shut down emotionally. She's giving me the silent treatment.
So I put my pants on and leave.

I go and hang out with another girl I know and it's pleasant and fresh and fun.
I look at my phone.
3 missed phone calls. 4 text messages.

I go back to my girl's place.
She is pissed.
The texts were misleadingly laden with entreaties for me to return to her and to smooth things over.

Now that I'm back, she wants to argue and she raises her voice at me.
Her response to all of this is not in proportion to what has transpired so I do not take this personally.
I do not get sucked into her emotional whirlpool tempest maelstrom of emotion(s).

She goes and lays down and I join her. We argue again and she levies probably the most serious jab that she can my way. When I left, it made her think about going to her ex-husband.

My spider-sense was up because she's lobbed some serious artillery onto my heart in the past. I knew that in these quiet moments, this is a clear emotional pattern, or ploy of hers which she very deftly utilizes. For a few moments, I actually consider breaking things off the following day.
I consider the other girl sweating me. How carefree she is. How low maintenance. How easy it is in all the good ways.

I brush this aside as avoidance and escapism on my part. I focus back on the emotional bomb my girlfriend just tried to smuggle into the green zone. However, I've grown increasingly immune to these attacks or tests or whatever they are.
I clearly state what is silly about that and pull her close to me.
I treat her like a child and she bristles initially but relents and melts into me.
We have amazing sex and go to sleep.
She begs me to cum inside of her.
She needs my approval and begs for it without abandon.

We wake up and have amazing sex again.
She tells me my evening will have to be spent doing this again.
She needs my validation and my desire. She's weak and aching for it.

My leaving and forcing her to call and plead was capitulation on her part. She needs to know her man will fucking walk away. That there are times when I will not tolerate her behavior and will be unfazed by the consequences that follow.

Like a horse resisting the saddle, she has to be brought back into line.
It is her place to resist, but ultimately also her desire to be broken.
