"men tend to disengage when negatively aroused
whereas women prefer to engage with others and talk about
their distress more directly, a pattern thought to reflect women’s
stronger desire for affiliation when experiencing negative affect
or stress (Taylor et al., 2000). Moreover, research suggests that
women may need to feel that their partners remain close and
attentive to them even when they are feeling angry or upset
(Eldridge & Christensen, 2002)."
"Women, in contrast, may not be as threatened by their partners’ negative emotions. Women who more accurately read their partners’ negative emotions were the most satisfied in their relationships. It could be that for women, perceiving their male partners as having negative emotions reflects some degree of the male’s investment and emotional engagement in the relationship, even during times of conflict. The withdrawal behavior in relationships that is more typically observed in male partners has been shown to negatively impact the female partners, who are looking for more engagement and emotion expression (Eldridge & Christensen, 2002; Gottman, 1994; Johnson & Denton, 2002)."

Elridge and Christensen, 2002:
"It has long been speculated that women tend to be demanders in relationships, while men tend to withdraw. Authors often cite the work of Terman, Buttenweiser, Ferguson, Johnson, and Wilson (1938) as the earliest study to demonstrate this empirically. These researchers found that distressed wives complained of their husbands’ withdrawal, while distressed husbands complained of their wives’ nagging, criticism, and emotionality. A number of studies have supported this gender difference, finding that women were more emotionally expressive and conflict-engaging while men were more conflict-avoiding (Kelley, Conningham, Grisham, Lefebvre, Sink, & Yablon, 1978; Komarovsky, 1962; 1976; Rubin 1976; 1983; Rugel, 1997). ..."
[Es ließe sich auch etwa so formulieren: Frauen begrüßen es im Falle einer Konfliktsituation gegebenenfalls, ihren Mann in einer nicht rein stoischen Geistesverfassung zu sehen.]
