I'm Back! (3)

[Terapin]

I've come to the conclusion that while I made many mistakes during our M, honestly, I think it didn't matter. The result would have probably been the same even if I was a perfect person. Why do I say this? Because being together for 20 years, I've played it every possible way at times. Being 'alpha', being sensitive, fighting for her affection, playing it cool and letting her come to me, etc, etc. Guess what? Nothing worked, at least long term.

I just read that statistically, 67% of divorces are filed by women. And if a woman has a Bachelor's degree or higher, they're the ones that'll file for D 9 out of 10 times. I don't blame women though. It's a societal thing that's been promoted since the 60s. I've been out with my W and her 'friends' from grad school. How many times I heard 'you ain't got to do nothing for your man!', 'a man should be thankful just to have you.', etc.

Then you turn on the TV, and see horse-face Sarah Jessica Parker prancing around New York sipping Cosmo's at swanky bistros hooking up with random guys. Or every Lifetime movie that has the same exact plot (neglected housewife finally gets courage to leave mean husband. She finds such strength on her own, gets a big promotion at work, and meets the new Mr. Wonderful). I wish they'd make 'part 2' of those movies. A year down the road the woman's kids are flunking out of school, she's living in poverty, and Mr. Wonderful turns out to be a bigger [censored] that her H was.
