For whatever reason some, and only some, women seem to think I'm a pushover or maybe they're bullies anyway. It gets to the point that they don't respect your "no" and use criticism or manipulation to get around it or bring you down. My answer is to tighten up my standards and values even more, to try to put their behaviour into view. I also was reading 2 Corinthians where Paul says "when I'm weak then I am strong" and talks about "boasting in my weakness". In other words, total honesty and congruence, reducing himself to zero to find truth (as Gandhi said 2000 years later).
Any comments from Christians or serious advice from anybody else?
