One of the big things is mobility. In the old days women were at home. Now after women's lib changed it all, and the economic costs just to get by forced so many women into the career market they have lots of options they never had before.
My ex started playing around when she got bored tired of doing the mom thing and shopping and wanted to have a career and got into a corporate position and was traveling all the time. She had flings with the CEO, VP, and many corporate co-workers she traveled with. It was a tough position to be in for me since I wanted to tell her to take a fucking walk, but at the same time we had a young child together and I kept thinking she would get over this midlife crisis and wild phase she was going through.
She also started drinking all the time, which I think fucked her head up even more.
This was my 2nd marriage and the last thing I wanted to do was go through another divorce, especially with a child involved. So I just bit the bullet and figured it was the beginning of the end and I would just let everything run its course. She never fell in love with anyone else just turned into a total nympho. My father was like this also, always had girls on the side but never fell in love with any of them and always stayed in love with my mother.
So that's why I said in my earlier post my opinion of meaningful relationships is they are very rare these days. My ex's lack of respect and consideration for our relationship has tainted my thoughts forever. I can't imagine every trusting a women again and don't even want to try. I'm just assuming from the get go they are all tricky and have an agenda for your money and whatever else they can get out of you. Its a pathetic stance, but this is what you feel when you've been fucked over.
Right now the only thing I trust is my dog. His true blue affection and loyalty are the only thing I know I can count on in this world.
