The But Dealbreaker

I read the Dear Abby advice column daily. One particular reader's letters pattern is relationship advice. A pattern is most men are stupid. 90% of the wives say their husbands are the best man in the world. 90% of the girlfriends say their boyfriends are fantastic. There is a "but." The one "but" is the dealbreaker which ends the marriage or relationship. If men solve the "but" problem, then there are fewer divorces, many relationship counselors must find a new career, and more couples are happily married. There are fewer cheaters. There are fewer adulteries. There are fewer broken families. The "but" problem applies to women, too.
