OK, I completely agree that women SHOULD take a time out and something for them, and that doctors should develop a drug, to help ladies through this traumatic period, and the guys that skidaddle out of the relationship the moment the lady says she's pregnant don't really help the situation.
Men really SHOULD reinforce the fact that their LADY is still attractive to them, Women REALLY NEED to be told that they are attractive, and they need to be told over and over and over again.
To try and put it in perspective guys, put yourself in the situation that you have an exam coming up immanently. You have no idea what questions are going to be asked, or by whom, but the result of the exam is going to change your life PERMANENTLY it will also change how people see you in life. There is no passing grade, you HAVE to get 1005 correct or you fail. Make one wrong answer and everything comes crashing down around your ears.
I am SURE that if YOU had to go through THAT kind of ordeal, YOU would be in need of a TRUCKLOAD of TLC. Well THAT'S how the women feel, and to the ladies reading this, yes I know that this doesn't really do it justice, but it's as close as I can get, so PAX OK
