I think SLL is absolutely correct in her assessment of our WAS.
Though to go one step further. Do we really want men who fall in love with themselves through the reflection of someone else's eyes, whether it's ours or OW's?
If they are feeling badly about themselves, shouldn't they do something about those issues rather than find a mirror that tells them exactly what they want to hear so they can forget about their problems?
Is that what we really want to end up with?
Of course we know what to tell our H's. We know 90% of the time what they are thinking. We know what would tick them off, what would stroke their ego.
The questions is when did they become so insecure that a little confrontation/truth conversation is going to scare them into someone else's arms?
Are these men or mice?
So the answer is to not mention the elephant in the room, rather, we should act like OW's and just stroke their ego and make them feel better?
That is the answer to a happy marriage?
I wonder if my whole concept of marriage has been totally screwed up?
