I
disagree because I am going through a divorce after 12 years
of marriage. While 9 were trully excellent and I would
not trade them, it is BECAUSE it has now failed that i am having
difficulty getting back into the scene. After 9 years of marriage,
we were still holding hands at dinner, "Honey-this and
Honey-that", listening to all our friends that were going
through difficulties comparing themselves to us because we "were
what marriage could be like". Then I started working
more (promotion), we had less time and more financial strain
(birth of my daughter), and soon my wife was telling me she
didn't love me and had found someone else "because I wasn't
meeting her needs". Ouch! Sex was still decent, but she
"wasn't as able to share her feelings", so she "developed
a non-sexual relationship" with someone at work she now
thinks she loves. Instead of feeling that marriage can work
because I had 9 good years, I find myself thinking that if it
didn't work with us, what chance does it really have?
While I love women and have many as friends as well, I'm beginning
to feel that to some extent, the whole female hormonal issue
dooms long term relationships, not in all, but in a lot of cases.
Well, gota run, I'm trying not to be too bitter ...
