Why can't we stay together???

We have all heard the numbers. Divorce is increasing at an alarming rate. Everyone has a theory about it, but the answer is simple: Women have changed, Men have not!!!

I'll explain in more detail. Back in the days when people got married, women had no rights, no jobs, and no options. Many times they were not educated and could not provide for a family, and were forced to deal with whatever type of husband they married(cheater, abuser, alcoholic etc.). A woman's main duty was to stay home and raise the children. She was forced to subject her body to her husband no matter how unsatisfying. Men dominated the household and finances. A woman who wanted to leave a home would be looked down upon by her family, and left with nothing of her own. Men cheated on, beat down, verbally abused, disrespected, and all but sh*t on their wives in many cases. A woman was expected to take it with a "he's really a good man and loves you" attitude.

Fast forward to 2009. There are more women a college than men. It is not uncommon for a woman to be the sole provider in the household. Women hold management & executive positions with major companies. It is more likely for a woman than a man to buy there first home as a single person. Women are more open sexually and we are in a society that embraces sexual expression.

What does this have to do with divorce you ask? Women have changed. They are more confident, more independent, have more money, smarter, more sexual, and have more options. Men? Well we are the same. We have the same expectations of our women as or parents and grandparents did, while women have evolved into something totally different. Sure women are nurturers by nature, but in a microwave society, their patience for the B.S. has run short. The unity of Marriage is based on unconditional love. Conditions have now been added. Women have decided that they will not take our mediocrity. A new millennium woman will have no tolerance for a man with a 60's mindset.

Back in the day we could cheat 10 times and still have our woman. Now it's one and done!!! Back then we could stay out all night knowing she would be home. Now she will be with someone else if you stay too long. If you can't satisfy her sexual needs, something or someone will. If you so much as scratch her, be prepared to spend the night in jail.

As equal members of society, there is now a constant power struggle between genders. A war that is brewing in almost every relationship out there. We need to embrace women's evolution, and not be outdone. Fellas, step it up!!(I'll get on the ladies tomorrow)
