mommamia22 -“Health -You really seem to have such a negative view of women.”
Where in my words did you get such a conclusion?
It seems Toi was right when he posted -“i find it ironic that health as a divorced man is recieving nothing but criticism for expressing his views on divorce, while i strongly assume that any woman on here in the same postion would recieve nothing but sympathy.”
Stop making generalizations. Your views Do Not represent All Women!
“Granted there are some who walk into marriage with unreasonably high expectations. However, when I say “well” I mean common basic courtesy. If a man is wonderful to a woman, speaks lovingly, kindly, considerately, she won’t be so quick to leave knowing what’s out there may not be better.”
On this we can basically agree.
“We’re not talking about extremes here of life with a kind man living in horrendous poverty”
What does this mean? A woman can walk out if the husband is poor?
Poor people shouldn’t get married and if they make the mistake of getting married -the woman should walk out?!?
“or a so called JAP who expects the unreasonable. We’re talking about regular people with typical life hopes and expectations of basic commitment to frumkeit, overall kind behavior, and general responsible attitude towards life. Perhaps I don’t know common expectations, but the women I know would never leave a man who offers the above. They might lament not having more, but they would never leave.”
Well obviously we walk in different circles. I admit I know plenty of women who would never leave their husband who treats her normally. OTOH, I know plenty of women who have divorced or made their husband miserable when they didn’t get what they want!
