This was from another thread, posted by OneWish, and I have to believe it's got a lot of truth to it...
Quote: A woman never leaves a happy man.
When I look at the decline of my marriage, it has only been since I became this unhappy a-hole that my W actually took ACTION to leave me. Before that, even though all the "issues" were there in our marriage, she was still committed to working on them because on a daily basis, I was relatively happy and easy to be with. I find this statement to be wonderfully empowering, even if it's not altogether true. I guess I would add to it "A woman never leaves a happy AND self-aware man."
