“Women are expensive”
If I go back through my relationships whether girlfriends (LTRs), or wives, despite that each separation has been painful, and some almost intolerably so, I have been better off after each one.
But why is that?
Women are the most costly and most limiting thing a man can invest in. Secondly, women change about every seven years or so, because of hormonal maturity and decay. Men don’t chang per se, their capacity does.
Both sexes can stagnate (easily).
So you can re-invest in your next ‘self’ once you exit a relationship that imposes costs on your ability to upgrade yourself, your relationships, you occupation, and your wealth.
Now, I’m one of those men who tends to put women on a pedestal (at least in their domains of excellence) and almost without exception I still love all my ex’s. And I think of my life as the history of the women I’ve loved and the companies I’ve built. But I have always been realistic about the fact that you cannot tolerate any disrespect from a women, nor surrender sovereignty to them in matters outside of the home (her nest). Instead if it ‘does’t matter’ then try to enable her. If it does matter try to constrain her. And never create reasons for her to feel unsafe in your relationship or in life. In fact if you can discover what makes a woman feel safe and provide it that’s about all it takes.
