See? This is what I'm talkin' about.

The above link is to an article I read this morning. Its hard to put into words my opinion about this article. I can say that it proves what I've been saying all this time about the dovorce problem in America.
This article is primarily about women. Women geting into realationships and bailing out in a about two years max. Women who have rushed into marriage - WILLINGLY - only to find they've made a mistake.
Now there are some women who can make good decisions in marriage. Find a man, marry him, love him, and stay that way 'til death do them part. So why can't other women do so? And its not like the men in their lives have absolutely nothing to worry about. NO ONE IS PERFECT, which means that the men in those failed marriages were no oblivious to what was going on around them. They were dealing with imperfect wives just as the same women dealt with imperfect women.
Sure, things are different. Back then (about fifty years ago). A woman divorcing her husband was frowned upon. However, today a woman can go out there and get any job she wants, AND IS STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR HER OWN DECISIONS. If the husband doesn't want his wife to work, she shoud know this before getting married. If she knows this and marries him regardless of her ambitions, she should be prepared for the arguements to follow. I should point out that my ex had a special problem with me. I up and decided I didn't want my wife to work just JUST before we got married. I switched gears on her big time without much warning and I expected her to comform. Bad stuff. Very selfish on my part.
So where is the hope? If we who look at marriage as a sacred union are nothing more than a dying breed, where does that leave us in this world? I feel I've learned my lesson. I feel I've learned to accept the next woman I marry as an individual in our union. Yet, with men and women still thinking only of themselves, I fear I'll never find a good woman.
And you poor women out there who have to encure cheating boyfriends and husbands (though women cheat too) I feel for you. Now, I also think you're pretty stupid too, if you're still with him.
Give the article a read and ask yourself what you think.
'Til next time.
