What man wants to live at the end of an accusing female finger all his life? Did men sign up for that relationally? For the ceaseless blame and criticism?
There is a problem in modern relationships: men. Interestingly, women do the same things of which they accuse men. They lie, cheat, drink too much, ignore and abandon their kids. They are emotionally unavailable and physically abusive, too. Yet, where are their accusers? Where is the national political organization pointing out their shortcomings and failures and daily taking them to task?
Men are being held solely responsible for the difficulties and dissatisfaction of relationships. Why? Because no one tries harder to prove their innocence and worthiness than the accused. Meaning, accusation keeps women in perpetual control and getting what they want emotionally and otherwise—all this in the name of “love,” incidentally.
There are many reasons relationships fail. One reason that is never addressed, however, is the role women play in those failures. For the benefit of all concerned, it should be.
And now it is: New Rules: Relationship Logic for the Darkside.
