I have a long history of dating women who are fucking nuts and treat me like an emotional rag. I have been considering this quite a bit over cigarettes at the park and figure here would be as good a place as any other to discuss this.

To be frank, as sexist as it sounds women are either total nuts who threaten to kill themselves every time they want a compliment. Or they are utterly uninteresting people who collect cats and watch Lifetime. I cant seem to find a middle ground.

Interestingly, every marriage that predates my existence takes on a similar form. My grandmother is crazy, my great grandma, her mom and grandma by all accounts. I think every boy growing up in my family develops the notion that it is a mans responsibility to be caretaker and abuse doll for an awful woman.

How does one find a nice middle ground?
