My boyfriend gets upset saying I have power over him. Guys, can you explain?

[Hello4242]

power seems like a really corrupt way of looking at things. He says he gets upset or angry and pushes me away because I have this power over him. Whats this about?

I’d say power as in you use your emotions against him. If he gets mad about something maybe you start to cry, so than it makes him feel bad. Women really can’t handle the truth, so when you’re truthful w them their emotions control them. It could also mean that he cares about you so much he doesn’t want to hurt you whether physically or emotionally even if he knows you’re wrong. Allmost sounds as though you manipulate him w your emotions.

Use my emotions against him. How is that done?

[Opinion Owner]

I just explained. Meaning you manipulate him w your feelings. Whether that’s in an argument or getting something you want. A lot of women do that to men.

Whenever you let yourself be in a relationship with somebody you are giving them the ability to hurt you. You may never act on that but it is there just the same.

Treat him like a baby, maybe he will be less upset.


Jesus Christ, what’s he whining about?

[NathanDavis]

ask him about it... what does he mean by "power"

[Amara_09]

It’s in his head. Guys who talk like this are way in over their heads

[Hello4242]

Like I have a big influence on his behavior. He listens to me and changes his ways. I make him better. But then he will have a freak out moment where he gets upset over this.

[Amara_09]

Lol……you are in for it. He will always get upset and why the hell do you have a big influence on his behavior? That’s not healthy even for him.

He needs to be capable of making his own decisions. Lady, listen and listen very carefully, you are not his mother. You are his partner so you better get it together unless you want to deal with this kind of behavior

[NathanDavis]

so, you're dealing with a toddler-like boyfriend... in a way

and it's pretty much a tantrum

[Hello4242]

@Amara_09 how’s it bad to make each other better?

[Amara_09]

@NathanDavis help me out here

How are you making each other better? You are filling the role as a mother and you are not. This is a grown man not a toddler!

Jesus Christ! Lady, if he listens to you FINE! But you can always make a grown man better unless you are with a 16 year old boy then that’s a child! If you with A grown man then he needs to get his shit together!

i expect you use your emotions to manipulate him. I of course am far to intelligent and strong minded to allow any woman to do that to me.

[Hello4242]

What do you mean use my emotions to manipulate him?

[ColHathi]

I'm confused. What power is he talking about?

[ThrillSeeker01]

I don't understand, I think it's wonderful if a woman has power over me.

[slatyb]

He sounds insane to me.
