Hey?!? Who Locked Up My Mojo?

[Greek]

I look around me and most everywhere I go including a recent trip to disneyworld in florida with the kids, you know what I see? I see run down men wearing unflattering clothing, out of shape that don't take care of themselves or their appearance pushing baby strollers and holding diaper bags following their wives who have lost their pregnancy weight, wearing short shorts, hair done up, nice clothing, makeup, showing skin, talking & texting on phones paying little or no attention to their husbands while glancing at younger attractive men with a specific look in their eyes all at the same time barking orders at their husbands to keep up and "why did you do that?" and "why didn't you remember to pack this in the diaper bag". I don't hear any loving, caring words, these men I'm assuming work full-time and seem to look more like slaves than anything else. This isn't a single instance, this is an epidemic, it's like women became men and men became women overnight and the more I look the more I see it: locally and abroad, with strangers and my own friends who all say that they haven't gotten laid in weeks/months and they're busting their buts at work, at home, doing more & more for their wives and their wives in contrast seem to be doing less & less along with going out frequently to the bars with their gal pals.It's a complete role reversal and it's like, am I the only one that is seeing this?

Yeah ~ I've noticed this. In fact, Coach and I were just out the other night and I pointed out a young couple, appeared to be on a date, and she was dressed to KILL! Could smell her perfume from across the river, black pumps, cute dress, hair lovely. Her date? Flip flops, untucked shirt, shorts, hat. I said to Coach, "What is she thinking?"

Your wife was attracted to you originally because you exhibited attractive masculine behaviors.

So, re: the couple we saw the other night. What is she thinking? I'll tell you right now (Yes, SP, I'm mind reading). She is thinking ~~~ "I CAN CHANGE HIM!" The guy is JUST ABOUT RIGHT...and she can change the other bits to suit her. Fast forward to what you observe, the guy pushing the stroller getting pecked at by his hot-number wife....I guess she couldn't change him after all.

I think our starting points, what attracted us initially, obviously have relevance in our later years as a couple. But more heavily weighing in is how we grow (or not) as individuals, and couples, and individuals who are parts of a couple.
