They think selfish is a good thing for a man to be

It is so hard for us to understand how selffish they can be. From the time they are little they are taught that they are special and should be catered to. They are taught that they don't have to reciprocate or care about anothers' happiness, especially with women. Women only serve to make them happy, your job is to make him happy and not vice versa. He thinks he is doing you a favor if he puts a roof over your head.. If you go to the middle east you will see how their mother/sisters serve them for no other reason than that they are male.

I have lots of experiences with this in my husband's family. Even the women expect that the men will be selfish and that is their God-given right. It is sick!!!
