I think your words are very misogynistic IH. My H is in some ways acting very much like your W. It's about POWER, not about gender. There are elements of gender to it and people's assumptions about how people should behave, but fundamentally the WAS is the one with the power.

If I'm honest, I read some of the stuff you write about your W and about women on here IH and I think that I too would not want to be married to you, I know here is where you unload but if a fraction of that seeps into RL, then just ugh, no. Stop reading and spouting sexist guff on the internet and take a good look at yourself, quit the anger and blaming. It's never going to attract your W back or a new woman to you. And that statement is gender neutral, I promise you, anger and blaming is unattractive in anyone! I'm not saying there are no differences between the sexes, but from reading most sitches here both men and women behave very similarly and as the LBS we suffer the same pain.

ALSO, one thing I've noticed a lot on here is that men mostly comment on men's sitches and women on women's sitches. It's weird, we have a LOT to learn from the other sex. But honestly I don't feel that comfortable coming onto threads like this with misogynistic rants on them, and perhaps us women are unconsciously doing something more subtle but similar. I have 2 sons so I am very careful not to label men in negative ways, but these things are insidious.
