hmmm perhaps I wasn’t letting them experience Wanting To Be In A Bad Mood
Sometime someone will test the other to see if they can be pushed away. The emotional equivalent of “give me your best shot, I can take it.”

E.g. Masculine hazing rituals are used to make sure people can “take it”. That criticism can be taken without wilting, dependability etc... the feminine/emotional equivalent wants to be sure there is no abandonment in face of any “truth”
