Yeah, and if you can't open up and be yourself to the person who you spend the most time with and is supposed to know and understand you better than anyone else in the world... that gets pretty soul-crushing.
Women say they want to talk, but it's really one-sided; they just want You to hear Them, they're not interested in your feelings at all. My own is pretty transparent; "We can 'talk' when it's about wanting to f*ck, otherwise I'm not interested." But man, that gets old. Like, I probably would not be on a message board at all if I had someone to "actually" talk to about the stuff I'm thinking and feeling. But I'm "not allowed" to talk because "that's boring", so I just vent to you people instead.
It's not "good" but it's also a 20+ year long relationship. In my experience, not only are relationships not meant to last that long, but I've never met anyone who'd been with a person that long and they didn't hate and resent the living hell out of each other. To topic, Will and Jada have been together forever too so it shouldn't be a secret why they're having problems. The "romantic love" part of any relationship usually dissolves within two years or less, because that stuff is all just chemical. After that, it's just about sex, and even that gets boring after a while. The longest you can really be with a person and actually still be "into them" sincerely is about five years or so; after that, eyes and minds start to wander.
I personally love to generalize, because it saves time and 1% exceptions in no way disprove the "rules" which said generalizations are based on. It's okay to say "All Women Do This" and not "All Women Except Three Or Four Do This" because the exceptions are SO rare they're not even worth acknowledging. People Are The Way They Are, and a lot of that is in their "programming". Sure there are a few individuals who can "override their programming" but again, it's so rare that it's hardly even worth stopping to say, "Well, I mean not EVERY single individual" because that just wastes time. Generalizations become generalizations to begin with because they are "generally" true far more often than not.
So it's okay to say things like "All women cheat (or wish they could)", "All women hate weak men", etc. etc. Because while it may not be true once or twice, it's true the rest of the time so why bother fighting it?
