Hello, Thomas--This is a GREAT explanation of both perspectives. It's so understandable why men and women in these situations and with these natures feel the way they do. Now they're left to figure out how best to navigate these differences when the switch flips so that the needs of both men and women are met to the highest degree possible. I see where the problem may be when one person insists that the other person meet his/her preferences entirely. Hopefully, if they learn relationship negotitation skills, they might avoid the harms that come when one person inisists the other must entirely give up what they prefer. Thank you for reading--and commenting--Thomas! --Lee
