The aging process brings with itself many positive as well as negative things. One of the worst challenges with which we face when we grow old is the immense change that our physical appearance undergoes. Our face that was once smooth and youthful becomes wrinkled and old. Unfortunately, wrinkles are an inevitable occurrence for all of us. Therefore, we persistently try to fight against them by using numerous face creams, methods, and cosmetic treatments. However, even the most expensive face products cannot guarantee a complete riddance of these skin imperfections, especially because the skin has the ability to quickly get used to the ingredients contained in purchased face creams and does not always respond to them as expected.
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.
