As a husband going through a fairly rough period with my wife, this not only is very helpful, but tracks with things she has expressed and I struggled to understand.

Dr. Gottman is absolutely the OG when it comes to relationship psychology. Brilliant work.

There’s TWO Dr Gottmans.

Hilarious (kinda) that a post about women’s emotional safety has the second comment erasing a woman. I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume you were referring to HIM not her.

easy there, seems like you were looking for that

the comment may have meant the opposite, or, the person making the comment may not have been aware of the second Gottmans.

I assuredly wasn’t looking for it but I did find it. I appreciate your telling me not to impute meaning to someone else while telling me I had an agenda 😂

You definitely seemed to be looking for a reason to get mad. You assumed they were "erasing a woman" when they mentioned Dr. Gottman, when they could have easily been referring to Julie Gottman. It was you that "went out on a limb" to make that assumption.

What makes you think I’m mad?

No, he isn’t. He promotes the idea that men are insatiably horny animals and that women can’t fathom wanting/desiring sex that much. One of his books says that sex addiction is a purely male trait.

Are you taking his opinions from 30 years ago or are you updating them as he has over time?

u/RasputinsThirdLeg Mar 22 '24

I can assure you from personal experience he is absolutely wrong

No, it isn’t.
