MrBond. I am how much clearer I can be. You say a woman will leave a man if her emotional needs are not met. Yes that is correct, I know from experience!
You say a wish will often affair with a man who makes less money than her husband if he meets her emotional needs. Correct. I know from experience. In fact, because women who feel neglected normally suffer from an inferiority complex.or self. Issues, they will actually most likely go for someone who makes less and is generally lesser than their husband so they can be the best thing he could have dreams of and therefore will be fully anterior to her needs. Again, I am speaking from experience.
So we agree this far. Now here is where I add my opinion and this is where it seems you do not agree. They will NOT leave a coasting marriage and go out on their own if their financial situation is not sound. They need someone to run away with! He may not have enough money or enough income for the both of them, but there has to be someone else for her to have the courage to walk away. Not sure how you can disagree with anything I have said. Have you heard of a stay at home mom leaving a not so bad marriage to go live alone under a bridge? If there is drug or alcohol abuse or physical abuse that is different. I am talking about a loving marriage but lacks something in the emotional department.
I have read many books and made notes. I will try to supporting evidence and site it later tonight or tomorrow.
In any case, if I am wrong please enlighten me. But there is no need to insult my intelligence by suggesting that I open a book sometime. I have read a book a night over the last few weeks!
Please read my sitch and offer 'constructive' advice and strategy for me to move forward and also any reading material you may suggest. I am always open to suggestions especially from veterans.
Thanks.
