All right, team, welcome back to the man talk show.

Connor Beaton here.

Today we're going to be talking about why tolerating her bad behavior,

her emotional outbursts, makes you inevitably become the bad guy or leads to the end of the relationship.

Now maybe some of you have noticed that in 70 to 75% of divorces, the woman initiates that

divorce. And it kind of got me thinking, and maybe it got you thinking, are all of those men so

terrible that the woman has to end the relationship? Are they so dysfunctional and lacking in the

ability to give her what she wants or needs that she has no choice but to leave the marriage

or leave the relationship? Obviously, the answer is no. That to leave the marriage or leave the relationship, obviously the answer is no,

that's not the case. Yes, in some relationships, there are certainly highly avoidant,

highly dysfunctional men who are sometimes aggressive or completely tuned out, completely

shut down, maybe they're abusive. There's many different

examples of this. But that's not from what I've seen the rule. That is the exception. The majority

of the time, these marriages aren't ending because there's somebody, there's a man that is so

dysfunctional that that woman can no longer

tolerate the relationship. The majority of the time, it is an ending of a relationship or a marriage

with a good man who's very active in the relationship and trying to do all the right things,

but missing out on one very crucial key factor.

Now, what you will hear from a lot of women when they are upset with relational disconnection.

And there's obviously everybody, men and women have their frustrations within the relationship.

But for a lot of women, what they'll say is, I don't feel known. I don't

feel emotionally understood. I don't feel like you care about how I feel. Some iteration or version of this.
