Boy did Mark hit the nail on the head when he talked about women complaining that men aren’t more like women. I am divorced. When I form a friendship with a woman, and wonder about developing a relationship with her. If she starts talking about how she wishes men were more like women. I usually ask, kindly, if that is a reasonable expectation. Most of the time they think it is reasonable. Then I dump her butt. It is hard, but know what it like to have the expectation that I shouldn’t be a man (emotionally), only physically.
But then… if we shouldn’t expect flowers and nice things to happen, then what should we expect?
What is a normal relationship like? What can you expect?
Are you to expect any kind of changes? Like… the other being less messy and chaotic in their approach to things?
I actually don’t have any image of a normal relationship, as my father was an alcoholic and my parents got divorced when I was a teen.
