There are times I want to express my disdain about men in general. Then I use my intellect and understand that not all men are like the ones I have encountered. Guess that is true of men who have encountered women which have left a bad memory.
What is human nature then? What are men and women partnerships? I try to look at the needs of the human condition and think, "companionship'. Isn't that what each sex needs? Lovely that it would involved something deeper then a friendship (definition please?) or an intimate sexual connection (which fades with time?)
OK. I am not thinking about the nature of long term (my dad and mom, your dad and mom or grandma and grandpa) type of relationships. Or.... should we re-examine why those relationships did last? Ok... many did not other than it was mandatory that they stay together.
I am thinking, why would man not wish to save a 'good' relationship? The woman ... his wife or long term lady... is expressing dissatisfaction within the relationship. So, should the man bale out? Toss the relationship cause the woman is making noise and I, the man, should not have to explain myself? Or should I 'whimp out' and do that modern man thing and find out what my women needs?
Yeah, I am revisiting this subject in my mind... cause the subject has come up again amongst my friends. I don't have the answers ... after 10 years... I still have no idea why a husband would not think a wife was not worth the effort - unless he was due for a change.
