Re: Women and Men in marriage
by hellcat

I'd have to disagree with you there. I don't think most women feel that sense of entitlement, in all honesty, there's a sense of entitlement to both parties often times in modern marriages. People don't know how to fight fair and discuss responsibility.

The differences come I think when parents take the responsible course and teach both boys and girls how to take care of themselves and how to treat one another with respect. My fiance and I have lived together for five and a half years, we share responsibilites and don't shy away from a conflict. We've had few fights, and mainly those just end up being debates. If we get too heated, we walk away and come back to discuss it when the cooling off has completed. We've never insulted or berated each other.

I learned from my parents what was appropriate and he, watching his parents, learned what not to do.
