I have spoken to many women about relationships, both casually and in a counseling setting. No matter the context, this ever-elusive state of “happy” seems to dominate the concerns of the modern woman. Here are actual examples of what I have heard:
Her: I divorced him because he could not make me happy.
Me: What makes you happy?
Her: I do not know what makes me happy, but it is his job to find out.
Her: I never said I marry bad men. Both of my ex-husbands were really good men, they just never knew how to make me happy.
Me: Why do you keep breaking up with these men?
Her: None of them know how to make me happy.
Me: Have you ever thought the problem is that you are not happy?
Her: You hate women.
Me: I am never dating again. I am not going to be an ATM for someone who will point out every fault she sees in me while expecting me to fund everything she desires. I am not doing that again.
Her: Who hurt you? Not all women are the same. You need to find your happiness. You need to keep trying to find a girlfriend until you find your happiness. You need to know you have the right to be happy.
Her: I do not care how many times I have to marry and divorce, I am going to keep doing this until I find my happiness.
