Men, Emotions and Conflicts

In the past years I began to notice some typical couple patterns, with one of them being how some men when facing conflicts with women tend to avoid conflicts by bring agreedable and apologizing even if they are not wrong. For example, I've seen a male friend doing so even if it meant him not being able to hang out with friends anymore, or do some activities of his own anymore.

It seems that some men were never too good at talking about emotions nor dealing with them (men are socially encouraged to not be emotional), so when facing conflicts and the situation gets emotional, they rather avoid it by being agreedable and apologizing.
This on the other hand leads to the other person getting worse and not really getting the chance to be confronted and realize that she is wrong. The woman in this case might also start to disrespect the man (being perceived as inferior).

What do guys think of this? If you notice a friend of yours of family who is in this kind of situation, what would you tell them? Have you ever see guys successfully dealt with this pattern?
