It was a problem. Six moths later I sat her down and just told her straight that she was wearing me out. I then asked if this was why her first marria...e failed and eventually she admitted to having had numerous affairs. I had been the last one but she really liked me and thought I was the one who would be able to keep her happy. She said she really did love me. We took advise and went through our family doctor to get her treatment. They thought the problem stemmed from her c***dhood. Two years. Of course, the route took me past Anne's office that she shared with Emma and Louise. I 'knocked and entered' in accordance with the notice on the door. Emma looked up at me, a studiously neutral expression on her face. Louise didn't look up, and at Anne's workstation was some strange person with ... brown hair."Hi, Emma," I smiled, walking as quietly as I could across the room. "Seen Anne this morning?" Before I finished 'morning', I was brushing aside the brown hair to kiss Anne's neck. She. .. it was too hard to tell. "I thought we were hanging out tonight s*s? Why are you getting all dressed up?" She smiled and looked over at me," I'm not going out silly.... I just want to feel pretty thats all. Beside, there is nothing dressy about a robe dear brother." Something was going on. She snagged a bottle of wine from the upstairs and opened it up. She poured each of us a glass and we started talking, listening to music. It was about an hour or two later when she asked me something. At home, women were sovereign; everywhere else, menruled.Now, however, women have been permitted to enter the public realm and toact as men act, which is to say, to "be" politicians, corporateexecutives, and leaders in other walks of life. They have been granted,in principle if not yet in actuality, political and social equality.Men's reaction to this change has been to treat women as such. Ratherthan to enact the traditional roles of protector, provider, rescuer, andwooer, men are now.
