Quote:Of course I'm not talking about all marriages. A percentage of them are very successful - albeit on a decreasing scale.
True..
Quote:But now more than ever, men take on tasks which were traditionally the woman's role. Now more than ever, the husband is a responsible father and homemaker.
Yes but if men didnt want this they should have fought to keep the Status Quo..they didnt they just allowed it to happen to them .. If he really is not happy in this role, he should make it clear..but then this clarity should be happening in the courtship stage, before babies come into the picture.
Men have choices..he should exercise those choices not just whinge.
Quote:And now more than ever, the woman instigates divorce because she has gained financial independence from the marriage and thinks that the grass might be greener on the other side of the hill.
If she were truly with the man she loved she would not be looking for greener grass..nor divorce. Back to the courtship with this too..its the wheat chaff stage of a relationship..Courtship is the most vital stage..got to get it right here
Quote:That may be seen as a cynical view, I call it a realistic view,
No its the cynical veiw and the charts and graphs would have been drawn up by men who seethe in silence..misery may love company , but they do not generally do much for evolving , moving on and learning from past mistakes.
Not many men learn from past mistakes in a relationship..except for the most glaring.
1-No sex= blue balls
2-No cooking= empty stomach and tinned baked beans on toast
3-No sock washer = dirty socks
The finer points seem escape them and they keep making said mistakes over and over..mmm the more intelligent sex ?
Quote: and I have charts and graphs to back me up so f@#k off.
Very succinct and to the point camel breathe..and I return the sentiment...with interest!!.
