Speaking for women as a whole, yes. Men are usually blindsided when their wives leave them. They often don’t have a clue how their wives feel. That’s common knowledge.
Funny...this started with someone mentioning that if he wanted to talk to his wife about something that might cause a sh*t storm, he would do it at a restaurant.
In other words, he’s very aware of her feelings.
He’s also aware of how she will react.
And yet your response is to basically call him a coward.
Your comment:
“Speaking for women as a whole, yes. Men are usually blindsided when their wives leave them. They often don’t have a clue how their wives feel. That’s common knowledge.”
Is a generalization. ie, women as a whole/ that’s common knowledge.
Your entire premise from the start, is that the man is/ men are wrong.
In extramarital affairs, women are just as likely to commit them.
And yet, men are viewed as the louse,
but women claim justification.
Can we say double standard???
Then we look at who files for divorces.
Women file for divorce almost 70% of the time.
Of this near 70%, 90% of these divorces are filed by women with a college degree.
And yet women are just as likely to have an affair as men.
According to the CDC, 1 in 4 men are victims of domestic violence in their lifetime.
The CDC says that 40% of all severe physical violence in a relationship is directed at men.
I’m not justifying any of these actions.
Just pointing out some facts.
There’s a saying, that I’ve heard men say AND women heartily agree to.
“Happy wife, happy life”.
or
“If momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy”.
There is also a popular meme,
“If a man alone in the woods speaks, and his wife cannot hear him, is he still wrong?”
Seems to me, your generalizations fall right in line with the above.
