you asked him the emotional equivalent of "do these pants make my ass look fat?" of course, he would say no. everyone plays games of a sort, at times. the only two ways that can work long term are A) if both partners enjoy the game and find that their games are compatible, B) if the relationship is honest enough that each partner is confident in their ability to throw the bullshit flag as game playing becomes evident.

So the question you have to ask is, "which category explains my relationship?"
