Or maybe you're just so insecure and biased that you choose to take it that way.
Women do exactly the same thing, openly, every day. Nobody bats an eye. Mostly, it's because the women are talking about men...to other women.
Really? Because it sure as hell seems like an easy choice when some days it feels half of what I read in the "OT" section of every forum is some variant of man-bashing; "Men are pigs"; "ugh, typical man"; "my husband is sick, men are such whiny babies"; "men are dirty and disgusting";
Congrats for you, but the title of the thread was "HONEST OPINIONS." If you don't want HONEST opinions, or opinions from someone you consider an "outsider," I know there's a PM function somewhere on this forum. Feel free to use it.
And you think repeating "oh honey, I'm sorry you're going through this, your husband is an evil asshole that doesn't deserve you" for the ten millionth time is more helpful than me telling the person that they can CHOOSE to remove themselves from a situation they don't like, and that they're wrong for staying in a relationship because they're afraid that THEY would have to make sacrifices? So far I've learned from this thread, 1) that the OP has stated herself that she's staying with this person she doesn't want to be with because she's afraid she won't be able to support herself if she leaves, and 2) that her friends have offered for give her a place to stay until she's back on her feet, which would negate point #1, but she is choosing to stay there. Which goes back to what I said...if you don't want to be there, PUT ON YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES AND LEAVE.
Could I be more "nice?" Sure, I guess I could coo like everyone else, but that wouldn't be my "honest opinion" now would it?
"Tact" is subjective.
