Women need Men, Men need Women.  We are dependent on each other.

I'm the woman and I agree with your theory...but  not completely.\nIt doesn't need to be heart broken, it could be lonely, needs attention and needs to be understanding.....

My wife is deployed. It' a little different for a husband most of the support groups in my area say they are for wifes. It's lonely not to maention we have 2 small girls so It's also scary knowing that I am all they have for now. I just write or E-mail daily and count the weeks till Oct. when she gets home.

She could be, but most women I know (including myself) use the form Ms.  It is not just for divorcees anymore!

Well, women should be ambitios because it's not always a safe bet to always rely on someone else. On top of that, they've always got dreams and motivations like men, and they should act them out. conversely, you could ask, why should men be ambitious? If you answer the question why should ANYONE be ambitious then you'd probably have the answer to why women should be ambitious. I'm a guy, and I'm ambitious because I want to be the best at what I do. Oh, and money. I'll do anything for the right amount of pay. I'm a whore that way. Anything within reason, but I'm not lazy. I do it so I can be comfortable, and go to the store and leave with something I want, rather than leave hoping to get it someday... one day... women have the same feelings. If they rely on a man all the time, they are sort of dependent and that kinda sucks... unless you want to do that sort of thing.

I think it is a good idea.  My now husband always helped pay for sitters when we went out.  He knew I was a struggling single parent.  The alternative being you guys stay in for a night - which may or may not be an option depending on if you are ready to have him involved with your kids.

Every feeling or emotion we have is not driven by the significant woman in our life.\nWe can get upset because of something outside a relationship.\n"It's not you, it's me" actually applies here. lol

Maturity.  No words used 'like' 'u have no idea' oh my god' etc.  Semi independent woman---a woman that is 2 independent men arn't interested (we want to feel important), no man wants a dependent (these r my opinions),\nComfortable in who they are and are not into making a show.

=I was going to suggest that you make yourself unavailable to her so that you can see for yourself what she is REALLY all about.  Then I re-read the question and it seems that you need her more than she needs you SO that means to me she is using you and your own self-esteem is way out of whack. Click on the link below and read about co-dependency.  I think you will be amazed.  Best wishes

I think this comes back to the old saying "men, you can't live with them, can't live without them". It could also be applied to women.

Stay at home fathers are great!! Whomever is best fit to stay home should stay home. If the women makes more money then why not let her be the breadwinner and let the man care for the house? \nIf we have come to true equality then this should be ok.

hey.  I have to read that book over the summer.  so far it seems like the womens role is to reproduce and take care of the cooking and cleaning.

Yes, I do. I cook, clean, and take care of my son. I am from the south, so alot of women out there are like that. I have been told that I am old fashioned. I like to do it for my man, makes me feel good to make him happy. He does need to help out every now and then though. There is nothing wrong with the way you treat your man, and you do deserve a break every now and then.

Somebrowing said "Hey parents, babies still don't make themselves."  High five to you, woman! I feel very fortunate because when I grew up, chores and privileges were delegated by age, not gender. My brothers and I were all taught to be self-sufficient and responsible. Our parents both had careers and were excellent role models for us. I can do basic car maintenance and my brothers can cook and sew....and vice versa. \nWe all had the same curfews based on age and were expected to let our parents know where we were at all times. I think boys and girls can both have many privileges and a great deal of freedom if they act responsibly.

i think it stems from our history of nurturing......we took care of everything while the men were out "hunting".  it is in our nature to take care of everything and as tired as it might make us we do feel fullfilled when everyone is taken care of.  i think we are more tired now because most of us have to hold down jobs AND take care of the home/kids.  more respect needs to be put on the womans role in society as "taking care of a home"

I agree...women are a lot of work (being one, I should know).\n\nI think it's funny...

I don't think men pay less attention but I've always likened it to the expression "It's like taking your car to a mechanic who doesn't own one."  Yeah they can go through just as much training, but it's just not the same.  I know this can be taken as sexist, but personally I've only ever had luck with female GYNs.  That's just me.
