What does "She doesn't put up with my ****" or "She doesn't take my crap" mean?


I heard someone say this today and he meant it as a compliment to his girlfriend. What does this phrase mean?

It means that he knows he is manipulative, plays games or acts like an ass, but she doesn't fall for it or allow it.

It means that she is her own person, and has the confidence in herself and her relationship with him to tell him when she thinks he is wrong. Only a weak, controlling man would object to this.

It's supposed to be complimentary, but it usually comes across sounding like he wishes she were dumber and more submissive.

I think it means she ball taps him when he starts with the BS.

It means he knows he can be an ass, but she see's it and doesn't let him get away with it. He respects that apparently.

Kinda makes me wonder, if he knows what crap he's dishing out to her, why he continues to do it. Was he put on this earth to make her life miserable?

She's on his level, not beneath him or in his back pocket. He respects her for it.

Some people love drama, and this goes for men AND women. I've known a lot of people who purposely start stuff just to see who will actually stand up to them.

I see this as a compliment and endearment to her.

What it means -- she holds him accountable.

"Crap" can be anything from not picking up after himself to psychological game playing, who knows in this case.

Bottom line, she holds him accountable for his behavior, has enough respect for herself not to be used as a doormat, and he respects her for it.
