Hi GEL- I stumbled on a very interesting thread elsewhere on this board. Here it is: Walkaway wives I'm not saying you're ready to walk away-- by no means-- The thing that is fascinating about this thread is that the poster names "Boots" is an extremely articulate (though bitter-- and who can blame her?) woman and the men reading the thread are just not getting what she is saying. It is incredible to read!
One guy started the thread to get the WAW POV, but when she gives her POV the replies are mostly telling her to calm down, that she's getting too emotional, that "if my W talked to me in that tone, I wouldn't listen to her either," and finally one tells her to stop posting! They simply are not getting it and they do not know they are not getting it. When she says something that makes them uncomfortable, they blame her for their discomfort. (I'm saying "they" because there are two or three main guys that she's interacting with on the first page of the thread.) All of this took place in March, 2004.
I guess all the men who are open-minded listeners post in this forum! Anyway, as an articulate woman who is trying to make herself heard, I thought you might find this thread interesting.
