Comments on: Commitment Hearing. http://flotsamblog.com/2005/10/11/commitment-hearing/ Deplorable solipsism? The new face of literature? Or merely a clever procrastination device...

As Mare said, fear of emotions, of being dragged into something over which they have no control. It's so hard for them not to be able to fix this, and I bet it does hurt their manly egos as well, although that's hard for them to say.

It's amazing how many of us bloggers have husbands who are so . . . um . . . reluctant to delve into this fertility process. When I was investigating the possibility of my thyroid numbers being slightly high, I too got the "obsessed" title from Hal. Maybe it's something with the eternal "guy-hood" of men -- something deep down is rebelling against being tied down to children but it only comes out as snide comments against their "committed" wives. Who knows. I'm always willing to blame things partly on anthropology, 'cause I'm crazy like that. True, true, true.
