7. Terrible when I see single young female relatives trying to navigate the relationship landmines.

I wish I could give them the gift of 20/20 hindsight. The ability to see beyond the glitter to know if its really gold and to see real gold when it's buried deep. Too many men talk the talk and too women don't stop to see beyond the words. Real men don't malign old girlfriends or ex-wives. They accept responsibility for relationship failures and have the gift of insight to learn from them to not repeat old patterns. That goes both ways. Because those men that complain about their crazy ex-girlfriends have been hurt as well. They're lashing out in the only way they know how. With bitterness and acrimony. It'll result in a vicious cycle for them as well.
