I'm over-simplifying so that this isn't a super long message. I'm also not talking about situations involving abuse, drugs, mental and physical health issues, etc. that are in a class all their own. I understand at this point a woman has expended a great deal of individual energy in PRIVATE. As we can see from this forum, there are plenty of husbands, wives, and other partners, who will do everything possible to save a relationship. So, why suffer alone until it is too late?

I'll admit this is the one thing I struggle with the most. My mind can't grasp it. It's like watching your house catch on fire and deciding to throw gasoline on the flames rather than call the fire department.
