Thinking it over

I believe that (women) go into marriage with such high expectations, and just get shot down in flames. Thus, the depression.
Since depression is commonly caused from bad expectations I have to agree with koko where he says ';I believe that (women) go into marriage with such high expectations, and just get shot down in flames.'; But men are more likely than woman to do suicide . The married man has higher life expectancy than the unmarried man. I guess we can say unmarried women just have more fun. The total suicide rate is now 32,000 per year for America and most of the suicides follow severe depression. I have to think that the divorced man are not counted here. They get divorced and have severe depression. Conclusion , the author Keita McGrath must be using number games. Thus we see that castle is telling the truth here
Because they usually marry the cute bad boy, with the fantasy that her love will change him. So she finds herself stuck with someone who doesn't fulfill her emotional needs who she can never change.

That's only because more married men, who suffer from the depression that comes from being married to their ';wonderful'; wives, have the guts to kill themselves before statistical evidence about their depression can be obtained.
