> It seems actually somewhat amusing that women's intuition is poo-pooed, and we are accused of jumping to conclusions......when in all reality, we are often correct in our fears and misgivings.

We voice those thoughts, and we are given the "Oh my God, I can't believe you don't trust me" or the "I would never do that to you, I can't believe you said that" speech. Funny how it turns out to be true many many times.yes, adagrace, here here! that is soooo true. in the end, when i look back, my intuitions have always been there, guiding me..my intuition is *very* strong..if only i had trusted it, i would have avoided a lot of pain..
it's hard, though, when someone tells you that *you're* being mean or this or that, and, me, wanting to be a good person, and trying to be "open-minded" and whatnot..assume that they're right..totally forgetting my intuition..but it has never failed me in the past. why can't i just learn to trust it?
> Why is that?
i don't know..i guess because it's so easy to tell the person they're imagining it..and then the person accusing the validity of the intuition can continue doing the behavior they want to do. and they don't really care how the behavior will affect you. they are selfish. i suppose..just tossing out thoughts..:)
> Why cannot people just own up to their feelings when we call them on it?see above. god, it would be nice though, wouldn't it?
> Why does it have to drag on from there?
> That not trusting feeling doesn't go away, it merely ebbs for a time. Only to escalate again at a later date.
>it drags on cause the accuser can have their cake and eat it, too, by trickery. the deciding factor is whether you will allow yourself to be tricked..it's easy for someone you care about to manipulate your thoughts, i think..
