for one thing, women tend to always feel guilty, about everything...I can certainly see women admitting that they did something or thought something even if objectively, it wasn't exactly true...and men are less ready to admit a lot of things....

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I got a different impression, my first wife died of cancer when I was 47 and when I started circulating again, most singles I met were divorced at least once. I did not meet a single woman who would admit that the divorce was her fault. In most divorces it is the woman who leaves (or forces her husband out of the house) contrary to what some would have us believe. But even those women who said they walked away all said that it was his fault. On the other hand I met several men who said that they were definitely at fault and their wives should have left them. Believe me most of the divorced women I met made it apparent in short order that they had no business ever being married. When a woman deliberately does things that a man finds very annoying and refuses to stop doing those things, and I am talking about stupid stuff like coming up with an offensive "pet name" which she insists on using even in front of others then that woman is serving notice that she is unfit for a long term relationship of any kind.

Hmm I wouldn't count pet names among the worst crimes. But anyone who has come through the battlefields of a lifetime of relationships knows that women give at least as good as they get. That is just reality.

I'm remembering a friend, a sort of "gentle giant" of a guy, hard working, succesful, etc. They were in counseling and his wife was just hurling every demeaning expletive laden insult at him. He was quietly saying he couldn't take it anymore and he would have to leave the marriage if she didn't stop. The counselor is telling her, "Do you hear this Joanne, Steve is saying he is going to leave if this continues?" And she screams at the counselor, "I don't blankety blank care what the blankety blank does, he's a no good blankety blank!" So he left her.
