I haven’t
done a post like this in quite some time, but it doesn’t mean that I haven’t
had anything to say in regards to women and relationships. There’s been a lot going on, and I’ve had the
misfortune to be front row and center.
Relationships
are hard. Whether one is married or
committed in another way, it’s damned hard, and having kids complicates matters
exponentially. Too many women I know
have experienced the dissolution of their relationships within the past year,
and the SO’s modus operandi appears
to be the same:
“I don’t want this relationship
anymore.”
“I’m tired of being married.”
“I need to go find my happiness
elsewhere.”
“I’m ready to move on.”
And with
each instance, the woman is devastated by the news. For three of them, it was out of the blue,
and for the fourth one…it’s been going on for a smooth eight years; he’s just
been keeping her in limbo.
