Maybe the two were never actually suited.Lets be honest,it does take a long time to get to know someone,and living with someone is completely differant to going out with them. It doesnt mean that either one of them is "bad",but no matter how they try,there not compatable.
If you go to a nice class of "bar", i find the women that go there, do so because they want to have a nice quiet chat,and not be bothered by men who have to much to drink,and bother them. I often get chatting to them,as they can see that i am there for company,not just to drink as much as i can. I have never drunk alcohol,as i dont like the taste,and i have no problem with someone who likes a drink.Like a lot of women,what i dont like is the one that doesnt know when to stop,and just becomes a pain in the neck.
Well, i think the reason many of the old marraiges were long term was because in times past,the woman had no choice but to stay put. She would have left with nothing,and as women were the norm in the work place,survival would have been difflecult. There was no help,it was a social stigma,they couldnt afford to rent ect. Now,the women have careers,can get mortgages,can purchase there own car,and get something back for all the years they put into a marraige. It is no longer a social stigma,and the majority hsve choices. Good luck to them,why should they put up with it.
To be honest he or America has never come up in conversation. They are a country just trying to move on like all the others. Only major events such as 9/11 get discussed and condemned,as they would wherever it happened.
RE: I don't like a quiet men / women because. ....
Quite true. Many times the old saying "empty vessels make the most sound" comes into play.
