She lost respect for you.

Something we all hear about on this forum and elsewhere.
Somewhere along the way we men got hit with unemployment or financial hardship of God forbid, health issues.
And the wife lost respect.

Countless posts about how the woman loses respect in her man.
I am sure that applied to my case.
I was unemployed, sensitive, emotional. In a few words, human. I was human.

What is this right, or curse that women have to abandon a non alpha male man.
Alot of this biology btw goes back thousands of years when those indicators meant something.
Like protecting you from a bear or whatnot.
Nowadays courage and strength should be measured in how well your man is keeping it together under all kinds of new stresses of the 21st century. He gets hit with humiliation in work or money matters. Health issues. Multitasking to keep the home alive, and mentions nothing of this to his family. Going to his shed to lick his wounds.
And he gets hung for this ??

PS, We all have moms and sisters.

I never saw my mom treat my dad the way my WAW did me. when my dad lost his business, or when he went bust, or when he was in the hospital many times. Or when he was out countless nights drinking with his buddies.
His "sins" far outweighed mine. But yet. there was my mom, keeping it all together.
My sister similar stories. Always there by her husband.

I wish there were telltales signs of WAW's in the making.
Signs that you just bought a lemon.. One that wont last hardship. No endurance.
They are not all like that. I see proof of that daily.
