I have often listened people saying that a woman can break the home and only she can break the home.And women should tolerate every thing to save their home. What do you think about this?Please share your views.......

In my world, no. If you hate being alive and are suffering being in a marriage, it's usually better to split if you've gone through the hoops of counseling and trying to get things together. Staying together for the children usually causes a great amount of suffering for the children involved, so that isn't a good reason to me, either. Being completely stressed out, depressed, etc. is, not only bad for your relationship, but it's also bad for your health. I can understand trying to put up with anything to stay married if you're living in an area where divorced women are shunned, but I think there is a lot more tolerance these days for it. That's not a bad thing, in my opinion.

yes people stay together for the sake of children and it spoils the future of children.

No a woman shouldnt tolerate anytihng and everything to save her marriage ,that just isnt acceptable,if she and her husband have gone down every route to try to save things between them,but the marriage is just not working,then there is every cause to separate.There is no way i this day and age that anyone should tolerate any kind if unnaceptable behaviour..man or woman

i do not think so.it depends on the womens capacity to tolerate.a women should not tolerate anything and everything because someone else has done it.it may lead to mental problems in the long run.

Excuse me for saying this, but that's the biggest pile of crap I've ever heard. Placing all the responsibility of a relationship on the woman??? BALDERDASH!! (I really want to use a much stronger word here.) It takes TWO to tango. BOTH people need to contribute or it's a one-sided relationship. So, no - no woman anywhere has to tolerate ANYTHING in order to hold a relationship together. It's not a relationship if that's expected. And, I'm not talking about who squeezes the toothpaste at the end or in the middle, or who likes the toilet paper rolled from the top vs. from the bottom. I mean true toleration of nonsense and/or abusive behavior. No - she is not the responsible one. They BOTH are, and if he isn't willing to hold up his end, then she is free to leave, as far as I'm concerned. The same holds true in the less frequent instances where it's the man who struggles to keep things together while she does whatever she wants without putting anything into the relationship. No one should be held fully responsible for a relationship. And, no one should stay in one where that is expected.

I don't think so,tolerating is ignoring someones wrong doings.If you are tolerating someones wrong actions you're like frying yourself on your own oil.Womans are the ones suffering in every relationships.I've been there,saving a relationship and being deaf and blind on the things happening with you and your partner.It's our personality to be like that.If we have issues with our partners we always find a way to settle it.Most of the women are like that.And we can't blame ourselves for that.Maybe it's the love that we feel for that person that is why we do that.
