============================================================== It takes two healthy people and a healthy relationship. Either of those elements can go wrong for a whole lot of reasons. ==============================================================
I agree.
============================================================== Very, very few of the reasons are entirely due to just women. ==============================================================
Being perfectly honest, I don't know how much is due to the woman, to the man, to some outside force, etc.
And, I am NOT saying EVERYTHING that goes wrong with a relationship is due to the woman, and that men are somehow immune to fault.
What I am saying with this particular thread is that perhaps those things I've stated previously can be a direct result of the problem (or are in conjunction with other things that lead to the problem).
What astounds me is that it is a significant change (40%) in such a short amount of time (10 years). And, quite honestly, the more I think about it the more I wonder if the internet IS directly linked to the problem in some way as the time frames match almost identically (for the most part).
