You have to read about halfway to get the true story. These "great husbands" that are getting dumped are the neutered, sensitive, androgynous-types that society asked them to become and they're getting dumped for, you guessed it, more "masculine" men.

Radical Islam is trying to change all that. Obama and his Muslim Brotherhood buddies have other ideas about marriage on their minds.

They were ready to take leadership and to disconnect from dependency.

Horse****! They have shifted their "dependency" from husbands to BIG government. That's why the majority of them, especially the younger "single moms" all vote for commie 'RATS.

I have noticed a massive increase in declined male ambition in recent years. Hell, the guy who just came to take my blood for life insurance test told me he works 7-1. He could work longer and make alot more money but he'd be "unhappy". This 35ish, professional, skilled, reasonably attractive guy could not wait to get off to go home and watch Netflix.

I hear similar stories all the time. I can't say I blame women for kickung this to the curb after a while.

Yep, the girly men are getting dumped for real men, and the girly men don’t like it, and so they’re running to their therapists and life coaches to complain that it’s not fair.

They already have one p*ssy, they don’t need another Pajama boy.

Ah, so it’s one of those “They got what they asked for, but not what they wanted” things.

Then, if you read to the end, the women realized the mistake they made and want to get back with their ex that they dumped. And seemingly with good results.

I am currently dealing with several of these great husbands.

***********************

"Several"? That's a relevant sample.

Twaddle. In my theology, it's "until death parts you," and let no one presume to come between them. If one accepts that ground rule, it's amazing what hurdles can be overcome. Because that's the ground-rule for marrying Christ: forever, dying to self, as He did. Start there, and don't become unequally yoked.

Personally, thirty-six years ago, on our first date, my future (and present) wife discussed our relationship's potential and agreed we would never divorce--that was our ground-rule from day one.

And, you can bet that a lot of them are obese, out of shape and sedentary. I see them all the time with their beer bellies hanging over their belts, sitting on their huge toilet-busting butts, wondering why their women have lost all interest in them.

I get a kick out of these articles that feel the need to lump every male in the “Father Knows Best” era into one incredibly out of focus male manipulator that screwed around on his wife, didn’t give a “S” about his children, and dumped them all for greener pastures.

Truth be told, some men were like that. Some men will always be like that. There will always be loose women also. There will always be Leftist women out there egging wives on, telling them if they are unhappy, don’t try to fix it, just move on.

Life is too short to waste time on a relationship that has lasted more than 20 years. Just abandon it.

If you’re not happy, just move one. Sure he’s a nice guy. So what?

I am reminded a few decades back when women started going out to places like Chip-N-Dales. Single men and some married men had been frequenting the female equivalents. In them the men had to follow strict guidelines about what they could or couldn’t do. Townships rode those enterprises pretty hard, making sure they lived by certain codes or they lost their liquor license.

When Chip-N-Dales came along, all of a sudden the “no touch” rules were abandoned. At the same time, the social media made it look like the cool thing to do was for all moms to go out and stuff dollar bills in some guy’s scrimpy G-string. So for men, they were going out to shady places, there were rules, and they were frowned on if they were married and did it. All of a sudden, when women went out it was to sheik clubs, there were no rules, and all women were “cool” if they did it.

Guys who went there for bachelor parties were kind of doing the wrong thing. It was considered off-color. Now moms who went with their daughters to batchelorette parties were just doing what men had done forever.

No. That’s not true at all.

And now here we are with women dumping good guys. When guys dumped good women in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, they were considered to be assholes. Now when women dump good guy, they’re considered upwardly mobile, progressive, and effective role models for little girls.

It’s a sad commentary, the fabrication of what men were, and the fabrication of what women should be doing today, since it’s their turn.

That's because in today's America, the good "manly" men (or "saints with balls" as the article put it) are hard to find.

I have always been skeptical about the 50% of all marriages end in divorce “statistic.” I always hear 50%. I never hear 51.2% or 48% or 49.6%. They all say exactly 50%. It is obvious B.S.
