coffee addict, I actually thought you joking here…
why do you think there were less divorces 100 years ago, were less men abusive, or got sick of their wives less and if so why is that?
maybe they feel threatened by their wives and this wouldn’t happen if they didn’t have jobs and took care of the kids instead
as to “getting sick of their wives” I think men only get “sick of their wives” if they are attracted to something else and wouldn’t be if there was no women’s sufferage
But I guess you weren’t. Men feel threatened by their wives because they work? The only way I could see that panning out is:
a) Freud was really right about everything
b) The man has some issues.
I personally favor b. And IMHO, “getting sick of their wives” would be a manifestation of such issues. (Because no one in their right mind would see that as a healthy reaction, even if the wife were at fault…right?)
