Why are men hardwork?

So with him for over a year. Never had a real argument up till now.

He went out, drunk. Ended up in strip clubs and accidently sent me photos he had taken of women's rear end. That stuff don't bother me. I'm not jealous but lied and said he didn't even look. He's a man! Of course he's looking!

When talking about it, didn't realise what was up just "I went out, had fun"

Ignored for a week. To then text me and say "right, you are on your last chance. No more insecure, petty, unnecessary cr*p. I don't need or want it. So if you don't stop talking about it you will regret pushing me away!"

Then I explained, we've never argued before and of course I'm going to be upset over stuff like that as he never expresses how I look etc so it's obvious I will be insecure.

To which he responds. You're cute. Just leave it be. And move on. He struggles to communicate feelings and isn't the slightest bit romantic.

Am I being unreasonable here? I think I deserve more.

I can't think of many men I know who would want go to strip clubs. It sounds like he's deliberately trying to hurt you and play on your insecurities, he also sounds very controlling, putting you on your 'final warning'. You definitely deserve better and being single is better than being dictated to by a dickhead.

Men aren’t hard work. Neither are people with blue eyes, or those with red hair. Some people aren’t worth your time or energy, so let them go.

The question is why are you putting up with it? Are you that desperate?

They're not hard work. They're a hobby. And so entirely optional or replacable with a different one if you're not enjoying them.
