Women Who Talk (& Think) Too Much – Wasting time explaining & discussing with men that don’t want to listen

by NATALIE | Oct 9, 2008 | Emotional Unavailability

I was reading a comment on one of the posts which reminded me of a scenario that I come across all the time on this blog:

Woman thinks she’s met her prince, when in fact, he’s a cockroach assclown, which deep down she possibly suspected.

Anxiety won’t disappear entirely, but we also don’t need so much certainty
