powder - erm actually I also base part of my observations on John Gray's book.
Not sure if you had read the book, but for some (meaning: most) women when they started talking about a problem, they seek assurance and empathy - they aren't asking for solutions, but a listening ear, they may chose to accept only what they want to hear - which I feel is what is happening now. Lonelone flocks to those who are able to give her emotional support and assurance - not reasons and practical solution.
<u>Its not logical and does not apply to all women, but thats how some womenfolk think for you. </u> we seek emotional support and assurance. I hope from this, you understood at least why some women behave this way. Yes I agree with you it shouldnt be encouraged, I have my doubts most women will be influenced, (sylphide is a good example no?) but it will take communications btn spouse to prevent such incidents from even happening in the first place.
I'm sure you know there are bound to be splits and siding during threads like this, but I hope it wont wind up a husband bashing thread. And I hope they didn't start bashing you, I didn't feel you have said anything that deserves bashing.
