Quote: Divorced parents, suffering through abandonment, the unability to trust others, since the adults in their lives pretty well failed them. So who wants to want? As the experts say, women that grow up in dysfunctional familes tend to be dysfunctional themselves. I read these experts and it is like they are writing about our wives. It like they can not trust us because they could not trust others early in life. THey LOOK for reasons to justify their position. The fact is that their wants as children were never met, so they learned to KILL those wants to avoid the disappointment.
This is absolutely true and applies to both sexes. Last week my bf hung up the phone from one of his very trying conversations with his mother and said plainly, "It's no wonder I don't trust women!" Having met his mom, I agree. Counseling may or may not be the answer. We're in counseling, and the counselor told me last week that people who don't trust the opposite sex have a very hard time with sex. She said this may not be fixable and that I needed to consider that if sex is a deal-breaker, I might need to find someone else.
