Why do women leave? Or.. What do women want?

From the time earth was created God made Adam and Eve. What Adam had, Eve did not and vice versa. Giving different set of qualities to both God actually tried to make them complimentary to each other. This arrangement was supposed to make life easier for both but unfortunately this very difference is making life tougher for most of the couples in today’s world.

Survey has shown that the rate in which women give divorce to men is double as compared to men leaving their wives. What is the reason behind this feeling that most of the women are having against their husbands? The female species in general are more docile, loving, caring and nurturing. When they are so concerned about each and every family member, as humans they also expect some kind of love and attention from their spouses. But in today’s competitive world men have become machines. A man knows they he has to earn so as to give the best education to his children, to get a better house than his father did, to have all the privileges that money can buy. In true sense, gone are the days when one would think that there is no need to save when I have my children to take care of me. So, one has to work hard to survive the old age gracefully.

The simpler role of a husband, which is to be just a bread winner of the family, has now changed. Wives have now also started taking up equal responsibilities of the house and in the outer world as well by acquiring good jobs. What most women complain about in their marriages is the neglect and lack of interest of the husbands in their personal lives. Men are usually more caring during the earlier days of their marriage and gradually become indifferent after a couple of years have passed. It is common nature for men to ignore any complaint of their wives thinking it is female nature to nag. But by doing so, they often tend to miss the softer feelings of their wives who have not changed. They still care a lot in the same way and cannot fathom this lack of interest on their husbands’ part. It is major blow to a relationship.

Are women expecting too much from their men? While most men tend to think so, women do not. There is a need for men to think differently today. They way the older generation believed and behaved cannot continue now as women are no longer simply bound to home and hearth. They are now ruling the corporate world and running political offices. And when they are back they make sure food is on the table and still keep immaculate house. It is definitely more than spending eight hours in office and come home to chilled beers and a ball game. Women give all their heart and soul in keeping their house together. And all they want in return is a loving and caring partner who will match their steps and help them build a strong home.

A woman wants someone with whom she can emotionally connect. Who cares for her feelings and whom she can depend upon, someone who will discuss with her before taking an important step which affects their family. Someone who will love her not for her looks but for the person she is deep inside.
