First of all, who says we don't cry? There is nothing wrong with "crying", or is it that you have some perception that "crying" is not a sign of "masculinity"?!?! I have certainly cried when my mother-in-law passed away last year and I do sometimes cry when things seem very hard to bear, it makes me feel much better and I can then get down to resolving the task at hand. So get that straight first. And secondly, I am not convinced that 'demanding' is a 'bad word', my mother is a bit demanding from my wife, but that does not make her "bad", in fact, my wife makes the efforts to live up to her expectations. So NOW would you say 'demanding' is bad? Well, you may be right, I think it was wrong of Preeti to say you have a cheap mentality, it was an over-reaction. Anyways, I suggest we think on a level-headed basis and not get to ocarried away with emotions.
