Men, what’s one small, seemingly insignificant thing you’ve noticed that can be a telltale sign of the difference between a genuinely good man and a bad one?

I love that "salty" has become the soft way to say "shithead".

It's exactly what salty gamers would come up with lol

Oh, I absolutely became a shithead. I sulked and was a sore loser. I can lose with grace to anyone but my husband, but the salt comes out with him.

Thus, co-op board and video games. Much better for sanity and not every time I play games needs to be an opportunity for emotional growth.

Oh I know. As a former shithead and sore-loser, I'm well aware how illogical our salty hulk-modes can be.

And it only gets worse when the person is trying to be nice about it. How dare you babysit my baby tantrum >:(

Hahahaha!

Well check out Slay the Spire 2 on your travels! Amazing co-op game. Not so great if you're on blood pressure meds.

This genuinely made me laugh out loud, because you are so right. He's so graceful and tries SO HARD to make me feel better, and I'm like, just let me sulk in peace, please.
