OK. English isn’t my first language. I’ll try again. If men had been respectful of women in more ways than walking on the outside of the sidewalk and opening doors, I doubt divorce would be as prevalent as it is today. It takes more than good manners. Most men these days don’t even have those. (myself included)
Well, I don’t entirely agree. As a general principle, people should treat other people well, and men should extend a higer level of conduct to women.
However, if someone doesn’t reciprocate, or demonstrates that they don’t deserve to be treated well, then I think they should be treated accordingly.
Men get in trouble when they treat rotten women very well. Women get into trouble when they treat rotten men very well.
Being gentlemanly to a rotten woman won’t lover divorce, or necessarily inspire a rotten woman to be a better quality person.
