I'm sure the women here have perused much of the post's placed on men's threads. They are heavily biased towards things MEN can do with regards to treating women. In my own sitch....my own guru....preaches to us:
listening
not displaying 'wuss' behavior
leadership
running the boudoir
attraction
paying attention to your W's efforts to look good for you
not 'fixing'
Etc.
Perhaps DQ is right. Perhaps people venturing to get married should be required to take a course. Women get instructed. Men get instructed. Statistics given. Reasons explained. Methods discussed. Strategies given. Refresher course required annually.
?????
Or....
Perhaps we should just move on...try again...and learn...and pass what we know onto our kids so that they can hopefully avoid the tragedy that we have all passed/are passing through.
I, too, look circumspectly at this institution now and ask lots of questions. My cousin 'Joe' says that marriage DOES work..it's just not for everybody. I guess it's the latter that WE here chose to marry.
For the most part, I have completed most tasks that I set out to do, whether it become a health professional or learn the bagpipes. I guess I'm not used to playing on a team where the other key player just quits and walks off the field.
"Hey..it's 3rd and 1....where ya goin'?"
Gotta play on.
