One of the best and most luxurious parts of visiting the salon, whether you're going for a cut, color, or just a blowout, is getting your hair washed. There's something incredibly relaxing about having someone else shampoo and massage your scalp as you sit back comfortably reclined. But that beauty parlor sink we love so much might actually put you at a higher risk for a stroke.
The truth is, in my clinical experience, I rarely see men doing the leaving. Men compartmentalize. They withdraw into work, hobbies, fantasy, or addiction. They cheat or carry on secret lives and secret affairs. They might create situations that make it impossible for a marriage or relationship to continue. Men also suffer silently, shouldering massive burdens. The men I work with often have a high tolerance for disconnection. They might leave a dissatisfying relationship in spirit (sometimes they never fully arrive), but they are unlikely to leave in body. Certainly the description above does not fit all men, but the general patterns I see in my couples counselling practice recur too often to ignore.
