to let their partner, or spouse know when something he is doing bothers or angers them? This not intended as criticism, but it seems that women are less likely to come right out with it, and let stuff just pile up until they reach the boilover point. And even if they do give some indication that this or that bothers them, they often don't REALLY let the man know how serious - at least cummulatively (what as she sees as) these transgressions, affronts and infractions ARE in her mind, until the relationship is no longer, in her mind, salvagable. This happened to me. I can't deny that a lot of the stuff I was doing and had done was buttheaded, and in a lot of ways I was guilty as charged, and perhaps I was a stupid clod for doing them, but I am reasonably perceptive, and she gave me very little indication, verbally or through action, that these things were more than annoyances until it was too late. It was like flipping a switch.
