The PUA sector of the man-o-sphere refers to tantrums like hers as ‘shit-tests’. The idea being that, if only he stood up for himself, and did not back down or become emotional, he would ‘pass’ and she would become a more demure wife as a result. Some PUA bloggers approach shit-testing positively, seeing it as a challenge to be overcome. I am not comfortable viewing it this way. ‘Shit-testing’ – i.e. affronts to the person’s worth and self-esteem – is probably responsible for the premature deaths of a great number of men. One needlessly stressful incident after another is sure to raise the blood pressure. But actually living with a person who does this, combined with the stress of full-time work five days a week? The origin of the life expectancy gap becomes clear.
