Walk Away Wife?....What is that

[stuckinoz]

I posted in "Infidelity" as well - Probably should have posted this question here.

What is a "Walk Away Wife?" I have an idea of what it means - but before I add my 2 cents in - I'd like to hear from any of you.

Generallly its due to mis-communication in a marriage ~ or lack thereof, where the wife is and has been un-happy for years upon years and the husband is absolutley clueless to the fact.

 

Its not always the husbands fault, oftentimes its due to having a passive wife who's un-able to communicate her wants and needs to the husband, until she becomes so frustrated her only option is to "walk away" from the marriage.

 

Its due in part to the difference between men and women, and both assuming that the other party understands the differences. When in fact both parties are absolutely clueless of those differences between the genders.

 

It comes about "assuming" that there are no differences between the two sexes. (Is that a actual word?)

 

Some men that have been through it and educate themselves learn from it. They learn to listen and to ask "Do you want me to just listen or do you want me to offer my solution to your probllem?" They learn that women just need to talk and express themselves, and that they don't necessarly need some man to "fix-it" things for them (They're women ~ they're not stupid).

 

Men that have been through what your going through learn to just listen, and not to be a "Mr FixIt"

 

They learn that what motivates them as men, doesn't nescerally impress women. That what's imporatant to them as men, isn't necarlly important to women. For example in the book "Crazy Time" (a book about divorce) the author illustrates a story about a guy that busted his azz to climb the corporate ladder? He finally gets the corner office and makes VP, comes home with wine and flowers to annouce the good news to the wife.

 

She thinks its nice, but what she really wish he had done was spend more time with her and the children when they were growing up!

 

The "Walk-A-Way-Wife" syndrone comes in to play when the husband and wife have mis-matched priorties. The old "When your up to your azz in snakes, alligators, and Indians you tend to forget that your intial objective was to drain the swamp!" comes into play.

 

Followed by "If grasshoppers had .45 caliber pistols? Crows wouldn't f**k with them!" (The defintion of the word "If")

 

Life comes at you fast once you say the words, "I do" and from then on it gets a little crazy.

 

Don't try and figure it out, there isn't any figuring it out. There's not any rhyme, reason, nor sense to it all.

 

In short? The reason the people (to include any STBX) of your past or present aren't in your Life, is because they don't deserve to be in your FURTURE!

 

Just that plain! Just that simple!
