i agree generalizations suck. some of us TAM ladies were hurt just as bad as you men. my stbxh was having his affair with a 24yr old and i desperately tried to save my marriage and family for 7 months. before he came out with the affair i always gave him everything he could have wanted. i was the breadwinner, took care of the house and child. while he halfassed his job and played video games all night. but i still gave everthing i could to save my family and marriage. in fact all of you bs men who have posted here on TAM have shown me what GOOD men are out there, and inspired me not to be bitter against men.

Living the dream? She probably wasn't happy with him acting like a 12 year old every day. People can only have a one sided marriage for so long.

Right now, I want a sammich and a foot rub.

Understood But he was like, "oooh that's the life!" Uh...not really. LOL I would not be a happy wife with a husband like that.

yeah I wasn't!! it's pretty tiring being the adult all the time and not actually being able to lean on the person you should be able to when you need a bit of support

he never once came home and said 'how was your day?' but I had to hear his interminably f*cking boring stories about his work

i think what he meant about having the life was the wife, not living as the husband was.

a lot of us men didnt have a wife who gave 2 sh!ts or did anything, let alone what she was doing.

Being competitive is not an evil trait and observing that it does exist isn't sexist. Female competition was a necessary fact developed over millions of years because neither women nor their offspring could really survive without a man. They had to compete for mating privileges. We don't erase evolutionary history with 40 years of women's lib.

What do women want? well do you really care what ALL women want or just the one that your losing/lost

well if it's it's just that special one then the answer is simple.
what does she want? not you. not the way things are.

next question. look at the issues, are they fixable? are they worth fixing? is the relationship worth the work? dig deep and you will find your answers.

remember many relationships are savable it's just alot of hard work. it takes focus,dedication, honesty, commitment, and loyalty. if you are able to fix the issues and can reconnect with the most important thing (honest communication) then you will be a happy couple. but all the hard work must be done and it takes two people.

this will make you stronger and you will gain self respect. trust me I have and my battle is just beginning.

I wish you the best and hope you find what you are looking for

I think most women would want someone who isn't comparing them to their ex all the time.
It sometimes sounds like you are still very much hung up on your ex, and spending a lot of time thinking about her....pining for the love that you lost with her.

Stop thinking about her, and look around ...there is soooooo much more out there.

Mine wants it to be all about her. She wants to be a lightning rod for attention, recognition and praise. Ambition and selfishness rule, and love, or at least love for me, is absent. I wish her the very best in her unfortunately shallow life. I say this out of concern, not resentment, as I still care about her dearly.

But... as for what women want in general? Who the hell knows. If I knew, I'd be rich. I just hope to fine someone who feels that the person she wants is me.
