i can't believe i've never blogged about this (i did several searches and couldn't find anything. but i did find this vaguely related post)! but i've long heard (and agree with) the statement that in an ideal relationship, a man loves a woman more than she loves him back.
i've always thought it was because "men get better with age. women just get older." or something to that effect. in other words, it's easier for a man to start over in mid-life than a woman. ...thinking about that now, i guess it doesn't really follow that therefore a man should love a woman more than she loves him back. ...but anyway!
l and i were talking about it the other day and she said that it's because women seem more willing to overlook a man's faults. and they're more willing to live in unhappiness. i guess that means that it's easier for a man to fall out of love with a woman. which is why, from the beginning, he should love her more. that seems to make a lot of sense, honestly. this plus that she can't start over anyway. ...sounds like all women are unhappy in their relationships but are too scared to leave their man because she'll be jealous he'll find happiness before her.
