How should strong men handle drama, or should they handle it at all?

Yo guys!
Saw this scenario to happen many many times.
It would be awesome if you guys could tell if the man is acting low value or just bad.

Let's say that you have been in a relationship with this woman for 5 years. You have 1 child and live together.

She acts this dramatic and blames you for minor things and little things.
But every now and then he steps out of line, like once a week, and might say things like "It would be better if I were single at this point.. at least I could live better alone" in response to the fact that you are focused on your life and haven't abandoned your friends or hobbies, and she is home taking care of the kids.


Honestly it seems like an emotional turmoil, but in these moments when she actually cross that line... We're told that as men you just have to show maturity and say, "Okay, take what you want then" and walk away.


But rather, in this case, what we actually see is that the man's behavior is to detach himself from her, until she becomes loving and calm again.
I honestly see a lot of men behaving that way: She has emotional turmoil = The man leaves the house or goes off on his own and then comes back to her.
But it seems like too much stress in the long run and kills intimacy because you don't even want to genuinely **** with her anymore.

So, how should this situation be addressed as a mature and worthy man?

no win situation. 90% will lead to divorce. Assume divorce in future and prepare. It takes two people to make a relationship work.. if she already has one foot out of the door (or one toe), nothing can be done. Its out of the man's control.. as they say, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.

This scenario reminds me of that photo doing the rounds on social media with a guy sitting at the end of a branch, a big snake is crawling up the tree, below at the base of the tree there's a lion looking up at him and under the branch there's a lake full of crocodiles ... what should a strong man do in such a case?

The only real answer is prevention: you don't end up in a situation like this. If a woman acts dramatic and blames the guy for minor things it means she doesn't respect him. Therefore he doesn't get into a 5yrs long relationship with such a woman, let alone have a kid with her.
