Better Days

[Bworl]

I have to say that it's really repugnant to me that a woman would find a man unattractive because he wanted to save his marriage.


And I suppose what I'm getting at is that I'm tired of the suggestion that a man is some kind of wimp or pansy or pushover - or even in any way just plain weak - simply because he values his marriage and wants to do everything in his power to save it.


I find it ironic that in many cases THAT kind of thinking was at one time something that the walk away spouse found attractive - one of the things that made her fall in love with you.


Suddenly they flip a switch, read a few too many Harlequin love novels, watch a few too many Lifetime channel movies, and they decide that their loyal, dependable, and committed spouse is no longer attractive.


Well I am committed to the sanctity of marriage. I still believe that marriage is to last forever. I refuse to give up the notion that two people make promises and vows to stay together forever. Just because my previous spouse went batchitt crazy and suddenly wanted to bed men the age of her son, doesn't mean that I was wrong.


Screw all of them.


I honestly think if an old friend contacted me and gave me that kind of sob story, I would tell her that she was a sorry excuse for a human being and that I had no interest in further communication.


And I can guarantee you that those kind of people are ones you want to steer FAR away from in future relationships. At least you can consider their comments truth in advertising - let the buyer beware.
