there’s 3 sides to every story your’s his and the truth. why wasnt the marriage useful to him? did you cook for him? nurture him? did you tell him you loved him everyday? did he tell you. sometimes men dont feel appreciated. Men dont have to support us women we can support ourselves. Did you complain to him on what a bad mate he was? are you self centered wanting him to wait on you hand and foot? Most women think that a man should know what she wants when in fact they are clueless. What kind of effort was he supposed to do? Why cant a man just be…why does he have to be superman, super lover, super provider?

So you can only "love" someone with the same values as yourself? HUH? Throw out the micro its made overseas and its junk anyway. You sound shallow and superior. 

When a man isnt appreciated he either wanders or leaves. There are plenty of beautiful loving caring affectionate compassionate females on the earth.

You are alone for a reason. are you comparing yourself to the broken microwave that with alot of work you can be salvaged? When was the last time you told him that you appreciate him? or do you think compliments should just be lavished on you?

You sound a little off. I’m all for saving money, but c’mon girl…old fashioned ways are nice for a man a clean house a good meal a nice romp in the hay a compliment…its not an effort to make your man feel special. how does one live more "creatively"? making a home cooked meal for a change ? youre way out in space. He left for a reason you just havent figured it out yet

not only that, but you need a 5 yr course in child rearing. I have witnessed so many kids that are neglected, abused, thrown away…orphanages are full of throw away kids.

if the marriage is rough as in getting roughed up or being verbally and physically assaulted,  its not a marriage, its a boxing match. Women are nurturers and men are the hunters. Men dont talk about what they are feeling they are men!!!!

They work hard to provide for their families and that means they work alot of hours.Women dont get that. They watch too much lifetime movies. Men are good, we just hear about the bad ones. Women arent saints either, they cheat, steal, lie, and blame the man for their mess ups.

i was raised in a family that divorce wasnt ever spoken about ,although my parents should have been.   my grandfather made sure that my mother couldnt marry her sweetheart, so she married someone else to get out of the house (@21 yrs old)

 She took her resentment out on us kids when we were growing up. And she was a screaming maniac. those two people should have never gotten married.

Now all of us kids are either with people we dont want to be with or we stick it out for the sake of whatever. We learned by example albeit a bad one. 

marriage is ok, but if a man is going to take care of you you dont need a piece of worthless paper for him to do so. im with a man for 11 years. he’s a great provider and we are our own best friends. He was burned in a divorce and so was I. I will love him dearly for the rest of my life (and you dont need to make a vow to be a loving caring considerate human being.)
