Why on earth isn't your automatic answer to 'France cycling' - 'No, my turn next after Hong Kong' -????
This is the trouble. Most women, in this sort of relationship, aren't willing to stand up for themselves, because they don't want to rock the boat, and risk the hassle of splitting up, which it usually leads to, because the man isn't willing to give up his carefree life.
So, they keep trying to have conversations, putting their side across, in the vain hope that it will finally sink into his thick skull, and he miraculously changes into a kind, caring, husband and father, and the resentment builds, until they eventually split up anyway, because he's fed up of the "nagging", so goes and finds someone else, or she eventually realises he's not going to change, and decides enough's enough.
In the meantime, like the pp above, the children grow up wondering why their dad doesn't spend any time with them, often thinking that they must be bad children, or there's something wrong with them. Once they've grown up, they don't have much, if any, relationship with their father.
As I said before, until more women stop putting up with this shit, men will carry on doing it, because even if one woman won't accept being treated like this, there are plenty more who will, so it perpetuates. It will take generations and generations at this rate, before the majority of men have changed.
