So I can see the advantages of women who have been betrayed being guided by other women who have been through that experience in terms of Hungry for Empathy.
However.
Let's say one has a high functioning relationship with a great record of fidelity.
The woman then asking herself "Does my husband think I am stupid?" is problematic.
Looking for evidence/statements from an honest guy is further problematic.
Turning to a guy who has cheated and lied for an evaluation of her smarts? Ick.
Hey Women (not Wives):
There are two questions:
1. Do you think you are smart?
2. What do YOU think of your partner?
End of story.
And then rub shoulders only with women who refer inwardly for their validation.
