But then I started reading what men were writing about their wives and children. It totally floored me. I thought that all men wanted to get RID of their wives and children. Long-married men had those kinds of emotions? The same kind women had? I admit that I was stupid to be so astonished.
It was a huge boost to my optimism regarding people in general. It's been an enormous help to me to see men as they are--not as the masks they tend to hide behind. Sometimes I think that what they are is better than what they pretend to be. And sometimes not!
Delia - I've been amazed as well. I thought that only my Dad was like that He seriously is.. That's what I grew up with.. A man who loved his family beyond anything. A man with so much integrity and honor. So, I keep asking myself "where did I go wrong? aren't we supposed to marry men just like our fathers?"
Good to know that there really are more out there!
