Just because I'm the type that has to overanalyze and process everything through obsesssing over it and talking through every angle a million times . . .

I've read that most men who are teh stable, long term commitment type won't end a relationship, even if it's awful, unless they know where they are going - unless they have someone in mind to go to.

That's how stable men do with employment, right? they don't leave a job, even if it's awful, until they get another one and can guarantee a paycheck will be coming without disruption.

Traditionally, women could quit a job and coast for a bit if they had parents or a husband. Apparently, women can do without men easier than men can do without women.

So, I'm wondering if the majority of opinions on this is skewed toward the feminine because we speak up more. And as women, we know what we'd do - we'd quit the marriage first. but we don't. We wait until we are cheated on or left. We hang on to the point of foolishness. Men see it ain't working, then hang on until they can figure out a place to go next - like securing a new job or place to live before you leave what you've got.
