Not if he has a soul. Here’s the thing though — women seldom consider the idea that emotional security is a two-way street.
Most of the intangibles that a man needs from a woman go unsaid simply because not much is expected from women on that front. We may not speak of it, but we have certain areas that, if left unfulfilled, can hurt.

If the man is trying to learn you, don’t be so quick to bite his head off if it takes him some time. If necessary, make it easier for him and give him a cheat code. 4 Not-So-Obvious Ways Women Push Men Away In Relationships (msn.com)
