As a guy in my 40s I have gone out with divorced single women and without fail they tell me stories of how they stuck it out for YEARS living in misery, sometimes tolerating abusive situations..."for the kids". One woman I went on a date with but chose not to enter into a relationship said she only divorced her husband after she was physically knocked on her ass in the presence of her chldren.
If you've ever overheard women talking, it doesn't matter how good and kind a man actually is to a woman: he always become an unfeeling monster when she speaks about him.
She's selling herself via Emotional Manipulation with an Appeal to the Pathetic aka becoming 'The Sad Crying Kitty Under A Tree In A Rainstorm'.
The question is:
are you buying?

If the Three Card Monty guy on the street calls you over to try your luck, you might as well hand him your money before you even pick up a card ... because, being a results-oriented kind of guy, having seen a lot of people, gullible and not, he chose you. He saw something in you immediately recognisable that says you can be tricked. By virtue of him choosing you, he is teaching you something very important you need to understand about yourself. So it goes with women, particularly of the variety that will sleep with married men. They choose you because they see something in you, and it may not be what you'd like it to be.
Remember, these 40-something women
chose their men.
I recently dug up an old 'answer' song I wrote I wrote to a hot-and-crazy musician ex who was singing a song about me with her hand where she presented herself as a Sad Crying Kitty. I never publicly-performed it because the other guys were shocked by how, well, coldly-indifferent it was, which was the entire point: I didn't
personalise the response. It was sung as a form letter from
all of her exes, saying "We are all exactly what you
chose, and your act of
consistently-choosing your own state of misery this suggests
you're damaged, so look inwards first."
Of course, society never, ever holds women accountable for their own actions, so I could see that that song - and it was a great song - would never fly, and, well, even I understood that women are very emotionally-fragile and could never bear that level of self-knowledge about themselves, and it wasn't worth her using it as an excuse to make an over-dramatic suicide attempt.
In the end, I wrote a second, gentler song that was basically an agree and amplify. "Yes, I'll be the monster you need me to be, but, really, looking at me, what did you expect?" That one still made the other guys uncomfortable, so I let it be.
Now, let's be realistic here. She chose - note this word again - to write her song about me
trying to continue a relationship between us: "See how much you've hurt me?" She's trying to keep the dialogue open.
All her song really did was confirm that I made the right choice by breaking up with her - I always found her wild emotional swings and drama queen nature tiresome - so I eventually realised the best course of action was no response whatsoever.
Knock yourself out, toots. (As a famous character once said, once he finally realised that the constant emotional-whirlwind around the woman he loved wasn't cute and charming, but violently-destructive to everyone around her:
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn).
So, she wrote a song of hysterical martyrdom to attempt to continue the relationship (dysfunctional action) which made her feared outcome come to pass: pushing me away completely (dysfunctional result).
They'll cut all their hair off, or gain weight, or come on to another man in front of you, or paint you as a monster just to prove
how much you hurt them, thinking it will fire up your protective instincts to rescue them from themselves.
I can't be the only man who has had a fight with a woman only to see them deliberately go outside and sit on the ground in the pouring rain, so you see how much they're hurting.
The 'Sad Crying Kitty' thing isn't always figurative.
