Rather confusing for Women. This is because they want EVERYTHING! Even if it means sacrificing their own Kids to be Baby sat so that "SHE" can have a courier e.t.c Or to pay for a House they could not afford in the first place. Then there are many with unrealistic expectations on what having a Man in their life's should be like for ... again... THEM! LOTS OF MEN GER SCREWED BY WOMEN THESE DAYS. Emotionakt, financialy and materialisticaly. No wonder Men are running in droves toward another direction, anything other than getting caught up in their shit.
