Yes, I agree that the reverse is also true.

Try being a counselor sometime. Most clients are confused. Most of them are hurt. And most of them are angry. Our parents and our education don't prepare us for living with a spouse. Or long-term living together relationship.

@MsKathleen You are SO right, Ms. K. Gee whiz, just a one-semester course in high school might possibly cut the divorce rate in HALF.
@MsKathleen Which is ONE of the reasons why my teaching career was VERY short. But, the chief reason was the ridiculous remuneration. I could make more money mowing grass. However, I did work with a huge bunch of teenagers over time (not inside the school system), and I found them to be very receptive to learning about getting along with girlfriends, boyfriends, sexual partners, etc.

@mischl Remember the Oscar Wilde quote, "everything i as bout sex-except sex. Sex is about power." Western society has made everything about sex, it's only one aspect of a relationship. Perhaps if we searched for a partner that shared the same ethics and non-sexual interests the divorce rate would become lower.
This may be true. I'M CONFUSED that so many women prefer men who treat them like shit.

@MsKathleen Some people can smell low self esteem and exploit it.
Yes, that is not gender specific. I know some confused women that I wouldn't wish on any man.
