Living through this I understand why SOME men do this. It is because a lot of women are going through menapause "midlife" crisis. They ALSO change in there thinking and actions, however they usually see what is in front of them not looking in the mirror. It's very difficult to take an HONEST look at ourselves and except what we see.(keyword being except)This is a tough time for both and realizing our own health issues will go a long way to seeing others.
I'm not here to argue, I have lived through this and have done much research from both sides. It's NEVER just one sided.
