lol! You should be afraid... very, very afraid... ;-)
Sounds like your W is depressed, as well. Not good.
Don't feel bad about being a guy (Mars). You've likely seen around here where people talk about how guys like to either fix things or bury them, but need to do either and then move on.
You need to help 'cause that's what we do. It's hard not being me.
I had reread this topic and got caught on hope's assertion that women need to respect men.
That haunts me, because I know that my W lost respect for me in so many ways. Yet to me, that's such a male cop out and traditionalist view point. Yet in the end, that is such a core function of humans.
And then there's another post on another topic that indicates that women get pissed when men want a medal for washing the clothes or putting the dishes away, when the women are thinking to themselves "wish I knew you were doing the laundry so I could have given you a full load and thanks for the dishes, I just cleaned the rest of the entire house while you were doing that."
Just mumblings on your topic, but I think these things are really important for men to remember and figure out.
WAS or aliens or whatever... Men need to be men and women need to be them. It's what makes our world tick. And while it may not be our place to understand nor control our spouses, we need to appreciate and respect our biological differences.
Maybe we aren't talking about land mines any more, but rather biological warefare... lol!
