On leaving

I hope it is clear enough that I do not advocate leaving a marriage unless there is something very seriously wrong going on. But other love relationships are another matter. If there is one thing most boys and men do wrong is that they stick with bad partners when they should dump them. Some research suggests that more than 80 percent of breakups are initiated by women. Men suck it up and take it far too much in relationships.

The point here is not about the women you do or don't leave. It's about you. To use the modern jargon, it's about setting limits. There is a stage in life where you are out meeting and dating girls but marriage just isn't on the menu because you are too young. If there is one lesson a boy absolutely needs to learn about love in those years it is how to get the hell out of Dodge if she doesn't respect your limits.

I know it seems hard but, trust me, the world is full of women and any guy twenty-five years or younger can be sure of meeting more.  Go ahead, dump her.

All of which is a good excuse to post this song.
