“All men are horn dogs, deep down.”

Well, I didn’t think my husband was like this. I thought he was different. I guess that is a big part of the problem. He has really fallen a long way off the pedestal I had put him on. And it is hard to admire him the way I used to.

Are all men truly, truly like this? I mean I just can’t visualize some of my good friends’ husbands ever doing this.

And if all men are like this, why does that make it ok? Why are we so quick to say “oh, that’s a man for you” as if that is somehow an excuse for them to act in ways that are selfish and hurtful to others? Why does the fact that he is a man make his actions excusable?

I’d like to think some men would put love and a good woman who has always been loyal first, not their fantasies and immediate gratification. I guess I am just a woman who really believed my husband’s love for me would always win out, no matter what the situation.
