What made me lose my resolve? How about just getting plain worn down by the resistance. I never imagined it would be so deep.
And not just that. Without the perspective that I've gained from this website, especially the comments from women, and other sources like it in recent years, I figured most women were more or less like my wife. After years of marriage, kids, stress, and going into menopause, I figured the Tonight Show jokes were a reflection of reality -- that women have headaches most nights in most seasoned marriages. And I had male friends who agreed with me, like one friend whose wife flat out told him she "was done with sex".
