His co-workers are right and yet so are you. The difference is a matter of generations. Ge-xer women typically do not make good spouses. They want all the privileges that feminists demand, and yet they also want all the benefits accorded to women in days past. All the privileges but none of the responsibilities. They want control yet at the same time do not respect men who give them that control. I actually feel sorry for these conflicted messed up women.

There are exceptions of course, but you need to look for the ones who are a little different from the crowd.

I think it is Gen-Xers both men and women that have problems with marriage. My theory is this demographic did not have to walk 6 miles uphill to school. They want instant gratification. This group does not have patience or want to sacrifice for long term goals. A marriage should be for a life time and thus the plans should reflect that.

A co-worker's husband walked out on her and the two kids (3yr & 3mo old) becuase it wasn't working out for him. He did not his own time and it is to hard having two kids to take care of.

Another co-worker wants to get divorced and leave the kids with the husband so she can pursue her career. Basically, the kids are preventing her from flying all over the world for work.

I guess my point is to find someone that is dedicated to a long term marriage and understands that it will be filled with work and a lifetime of responsibilities.

I can't even begin to count the number of American men I met like that in the past 20 years. THAT works BOTH ways. If you were honest you would admit it.

I agree with what you said about the GenXers - both sides are sort of morphing into a male/female. Some men are getting - really getting in touch with their feminine side and the women are trying their best to grow b@@ls. AND I believe, like you said, that there are exceptions (on both sides) but you would have to look hard to find them. I would hate to be in the "market" for a spouse today.
