I think you do need to keep connected to people outside the relationsip, and spending all your time with one person is claustrophic and unhealthy. But it doesnt make the man "whipped", either party is just as likely to be the one to blame... but men and women do fall into these stereotypes, the mock childishmess, the "Big boys dont cry stuff", women acting like girls and men acting like boys... both sexes seem to gravitate the other towards these stereotypes, and everyone does it to a degree. What you keep that it is outside and what you keep that is different is the main...
But personally, while I dont really act that way, for a long time I did, and I understand what it is like growing up as a male, and feeling like showing any emotion or any excitement or joy is somehow childish, silly, and demeaning.
