I'm relieved that you've taken it in the spirit in which it was meant! I would probably feel a bit better if you had refuted at least some of it, though. Now you've really set me wondering!! ;0)<br /><br />I think that you are a very brave man to visit my blog. Here is an interesting fact: When I published my St Valentine's Day post, with the photo of the sexy lady, which would have appeared in people's Blog Lists, my sitemeter went berserk. I couldn't tell whether the extra visitors were male of female, of course, but it did set me thinking! ;0)Mean Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829239249872290230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793153250817873634.post-38740398701303799862009-05-20T11:48:05.448+01:002009-05-20T11:48:05.448+01:00I would like to say everything you say re men is u...I would like to say everything you say re men is untrue.

I thought that it was about time I evened things up!<br /><br /><br />Working Mum - No, I think the scales fell from my eyes at about the same time really. I sometimes imagine how annoying it must be for the woman, who divorces her husband due to any of the stuff I've mentioned in my post, only to discover that, after her second husband has gone through the 'eager to please' stage, he turns out to be much the same as the first! I am wicked aren't I? You're right of course. I feel that I can be wicked because I write under a pseudonym. ;0) Still have problems, unfortunately!Mean Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829239249872290230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793153250817873634.post-24311711901586386792009-05-15T18:40:00.000+01:002009-05-15T18:40:00.000+01:00Is it bad that I recognise most of those after onl...Is it bad that I recognise most of those after only 16 years of marriage?<br /><br />(PS Hope things are improving in your private life; I have missed your wickedly funny posts!)Working Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16243697047355131343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793153250817873634.post-24411680938762766402009-05-15T12:33:00.000+01:002009-05-15T12:33:00.000+01:00Wondered where you were hiding, thought maybe a wo...Wondered where you were hiding, thought maybe a wonderful holiday was being enjoyed.

They often dislike talking, it seems, and particularly about important stuff, like feelings. Makes them feel exposed, maybe.<br /><br />Thanks for your concern. I'm just muddling through, as usual.<br /><br /><br />The Gossamer Woman - I'm glad that you've not forsaken me, after my absence!<br /><br /><br />scrappysue - I think that I could have gone on a bit more, you know! It was a pleasure!<br /><br /><br />Maggie - Thanks! I could really do with a tickety boo spell.<br /><br />I think it's fair to say that a lot of men are programmed to ensure that the human race goes on forever and although I'm not letting them off the hook, completely - sometimes, there's not much they can do about it! We still have our primitive instincts in this modern society.<br /><br />Arces! Lol!

I really missed you & kept checking your blog in case the google thingummy wasn't working!<br />Sorry to hear the many problems that you are going through.<br />I find that all mine appear at the same time & give me great grief!
