[quote=njtosd][quote=scaredyclassic][quote=njtosd][quote=scaredyclassic]i would go so far as to say that the needier or more emotionally involved the man is, the more likely the woman is to seek divorce. it’s…unmanly….[/quote]
I would put needy (bad) and emotionally involved (good) in two different categories. My dad was what I would call emotionally involved long before it was normal for dads to be. He was very quiet about it and I respected him immensely. Parents were happily married for almost 60 years until he passed away in 2011.[/quote]
I respectfully disagree. Men should not fall into the vortex of women’s emotional states. Men should always be separate strong and apart. Women have friends for that.[/quote]
Maybe we are defining our terms differently. To me “emotionally uninvolved” was my grandfather who came home from work, ate dinner, read the newspaper and went to bed. Definitely separate, strong and apart. My mother (born 1927) said that he barely seemed to know she was alive. He didn’t seem to care – his emotions didn’t seem to be “involved”. What is your definition?[/quote]
