I can completely understand this woman. Nice men spend all their time devoted to you and have no lives of their own. They lack sexuality, toughness, decisiveness and masculinity. She doesn’t want a jerk, she wants a reasonable person. She wants someone who wants something from her, so that she can offer him something.

Without anything to give, there is no role for her in the relationship. She wants an egalitarian relationship, not a servant who mopes around and follows her. I can understand. I like strong men who go out and do things, set limits, ask for things, make decisions and demand respect. This has nothing to do with wanting a jerk, control freak, chauvinist or drug abuser.

Some women, good little girls, want to save some guy because they confuse love with co-dependency. Children of divorce, they assume they must bend over backwards to please a man and not ever ask for anything themselves. They often have mental health issues, low self-esteem, bad childhoods and substance abuse problems.

This guy probably never leaves her alone and expect her to let him do everything, thereby depriving her of her individuality and independence. She is not ready for marriage, or at least, cannot handle him. He is too much.

I take that back. I wrote my previous post while still watching the beginning. This is not funny, even on the surface. This woman is treating this man in the way that no-good-men stereotypically treat women. He needs to get as far away from her as he can as quickly as he is able. If she gets help and betters herself, that's all well and good, but he needs to get "ghost."

Comical on the surface, but once we take a deeper look, this is really sad. She needs to get some therapy so she can learn to respect herself and allow her husband to respect her. He should only hang in there with her for as long as he can without it starting to eat away at him, then he needs to leave so he can be open to someone who appreciates him.

I know a lot of women who fit this mold. I'm sure factors in their lives have made them this way, but we are responsible for getting the help we need so that we can thrive.
