I have a number of divorced friends. One phenomenon I see is that in their early 30's, many married women experience a "mid-life crisis" where they decide "I can do better than my current husband". So they dump him, often fleece him as much as possible, frequently take up with "Mr Better/Hotter" before breaking the news that they want a divorce, etc.
With several of the women, they belatedly discover that finding somebody better than their original husband, AND WHO WILL PUT UP WITH their baggage, is easier said then done. Then they become unhappy and depressed.
Spot on, mate, spot on! You've no idea how many women are suffering from a quite extraordinary case of LIHOM (Legend In Her Own Mind) syndrome, and believe that they are God's gift to the Male species. It would be funny in a bizarre sort of way if it were not so sadly depressing at the same time. But yet, WE males are the problem! If I had a dime for every time I listened to a female discussing the breakup of her last relationship and was telling her friends: "Well, we MIGHT be able to get back together someday, but he has to change."
Sometimes I literally had to turn away and leave the room quickly before they realized that the muffled choking sounds I was attempting so mightily to suppress was in actuality Incredulous Laughter! And they totally believed that there was NOTHING wrong with such a belief!
