Now while I have this bee in my bonnet from the other thread...

I was watching a tv programme about women serial killers some months back and some episodes of Oprah about abusive families, plus some personal contact with a number of women - it's quite clear that SOME women would otherwise be quite sane EXCEPT for the men they married. But yes, it works both ways. Some men are driven insane by their wives too.

Many, of course, are well supported by their spouses but the not-so-lucky/blessed ones are quite a lot!
