So being a coward and conniving is your definition of "brave" in this context?

Bravery will be telling her to her face what he wants to do with his house the minute she made suggestions for the room and leave her to either accept it or exist herself.

But of course, he wasn’t done using her so he removed her option of leaving him and chose to be deceitful to keep her confused.

It's his house after all, and he hasn’t proposed to her or made any intention of cohabiting with her. There was no need to hide his intentions for the room when she was making suggestions about it.

But when we've normalized toxic behaviors everything becomes entitlement and self-attractive. We don't care who we offend because we just want to have things our way.

She wasn't trying to control him if she sort his opinion in her suggestions. So I don't get where you read about a controlling tendency.

I understand that all the guys saying her anger is because she didn’t get what she wanted are the same people who will call deceitful women sluts. But when a man is deceitful, then it's acceptable and manly. Clap for yourself!

Anyway, respect is mutual and she would be stupid to continue staying with someone who lacks the capacity to do so.
