I'm sure there are many relationships which could be posted on this thread alone which deviate from your experience.

Of course. But the sample size for the internet, even FR is huge. Make your sample size big enough and you will find many instances of rare things.

The mantra that it is all the man's fault is a terrible. Men have a huge motivation to get things right and while I do know a couple of husbands whose favorite game is jerking the rug out from under their wives, most are desperate to please her. She doesn't realize it in any case, but there is simply too much power in her dissatisfaction for her ever to give it up.

The men who do treat their wives the worst are the one's who have been married the longest. By all appearances they have simply given up trying to please their wives and decided to return some of the misery they have been receiving for years.

Wow. Pretty true. I know most of my guy friends are ALWAYS trying to please their girlfriends etc etc. How about this one - I got my girlfriend flowers few times, It was late at night and the flower shop was closed. I got flowers at Super Stop & Shop. After a few times, she said to me - I like the flowers, but could you get them at a real flower shop for once. I was floored. Now, I don't want to buy either. I have a bad taste in my mouth about not being appreciated, the gesture being spit on, and the negativitity poisoning my well of giving. This type of thing goes on in so many relationships I know, which is why I congratulate Dr. Laura for putting out such a good book.
