Muy interesante. Somewhat interesting as well. #1 always told me I was a *ussy when it came to pain. Now then, she was the pillar (salt) of rectitude in child birth, never screaming or fainting so I just assumed she was immune to pain. The divorce filing settled it. The pain question is well-established. Bright red fingernails threatening injury to one’s scrotum are a definite flag that male pain threshold is rather low thus requiring opioid intervention.
I have 2 exes and one child with each. Inflicting pain is no longer an issue - as much as they wish they could. Now, I won’t say I couldn’t live without the Xanax after their whacked out phone calls, but, hell, why try to?
