Like women never do that to men.
Whoa there...where in my post did I say they didn't? For that matter, where did I say all men did this?
I spoke about my particular situation, how it could have the effect of making a woman bitter at men in general, but in the very first sentence, put the blame squarely on my ex-husband where it belongs. I also added that a true conservative man would not do something like that, so I am still giving men...at least conservative men...the benefit of the doubt.
However, given what he did to me...and I didn't add that he left the day after I came home from the hospital from hip replacement surgery and had actually called his girlfriend 3 times while I was in surgery...it is completely rational for me to be more cautious about who I trust with my heart from now on.
