I am going to tke this one step further and pose the question-why do men put up with so much bullshit from their women? Too many times, I have been witness to if not involved with men who are married to women devoted to making everyone around them as miserable as they are. They claim to love them, but I must ask-WHY?? What is there, truly, to love about someone who is bitchy, unstable, miserable, possibly severely depressed, controlling and greedy?
It seems that men, more so than women, want some ideal that includes picket fences and facsimiles of the Stepford Wives and can't see what it is they truly have instead. And when they DO finally see it for what it is, they think that by standing by her, things will magically be perfect once more(although they never were perfect to begin with).
It's a well-known fact that more women than men file for divorce and most men, in a recent survey, claim it was a 'total surprise'. Yet, men are actually in a better financial position to leave.
I understand the stance that things should be worked on, worked out and an effort made to preserve a relationship. But if a ship is sinking, does that mean everyone has to drown?
This truly has me baffled.
