If I’m not mistaken, it looks like there are ten times more women on this app than men. There are two topics that dominate the posts on this app: women’s health issues, and relationship issues. I have neither the qualifications nor the desire to speak on women’s health issues, but what troubles me is the amount of relationship problems posted by women that are met with the advice of women in the group to just sever the relationship. I understand that empathy that women feel for a woman having trouble in a relationship; but I don’t understand why a man’s perspective isn’t shared or valued in these situations - especially because you could get it from a man who doesn’t have anything to lose or gain by sharing some insight into what another woman’s S.O. might be thinking or feeling, making his opinion completely objective. I’m not condoning cohabiting with an abuser or an infidel. But petty things can be worked out or overlooked. I’m concerned because out of all the things that are wrong in our society, most of them could be solved by having a man, a father, in the house. Men as a gender group or social group have been caricatured, emasculated, or even demonized by other groups of people in our society. Many call it “identity politics.” Men aren’t perfect; no one is perfect. But can we as couples make a concerted effort to overcome our struggles in our relationships, instead of pointing blame and leaving when it gets tough? As long as individuals are trying to control the relationship or gain the upper hand, the relationships will fail. But i believe that if we each give 100% (not meet just halfway), our relationships will be successful. My wife is currently pregnant with triplets; can she do everything she used to do or wants to do anymore? No. But if I continue to give 100%, even though she can’t right now, I know the relationship will work. When we go on a first date, we put our best foot forward. But if you date long enough, you’re eventually going to see the other foot. Keep putting that best foot forward; that’s one hard part. Keep loving in spite of that other foot, maybe even adopt a sense of humor about it; that’s the other hard part. It takes a lot of work, but it’s worth it when you get to dance with grace; just stay on the dance floor long enough, and we will.
