A person that will not compromise, or communicate is not worth keeping, I have found.

No disrespect meant for anyone, but I am repulsed, (not really amazed) at the numbers of men that let their woman control the relationship, purse strings and all, as if it's their "Mommy." Not a slam, it just doesn't make sense to marry someone, then expect to rely on them to tell you what your job in life is. And keep secrets from them, or vice versa.

Doesn't work that way.

All relationships are different. Some men prefer the woman to make decisions and control the money. Some guys like skinny women, others plump. Redheads, brunettes, blonds whatever. When I see people together I used to think "what does he or she see in her or him?" and tended to pass judgements based on superficial things. Now I see people together and just see people and know that if they are together there is usually some reason that I know nothing about. Whatever works for them is fine by me.
