"When women are capable of raising children without men, are they then deciding their sons and daughters do not need fathers?"
Well considering he's been charged with murdering her it looks like to me she made the right decision to reject him.
I think you just made yellowdog's point. She rejected him too late.
This sounds like something my husband says and that I have observed. Women like the bad boys (he says) and think they can always change him or that he USED to be like that but he is different now (I observe). The facts are often there if one would look at them objectively and before getting physically and/or emotionally involved. Nowadays, as movies and TV teach us, you have sex and THEN you find out if you are compatible, a good person, etc.
Yellowdog may be making an insensitive point on a thread that is very tragic but it does not mean he is totally wrong!
