Reply #60: I think it is a cultural more than a male/female thing

[AngryAmish]

Excuse me while I haul out my broad brush here, but I think American culture supports this sort of openness. Oprah has made billions from letting people air their dirty laundry on TV. Reality tv, tell-all autobiographies, et al.

Culturally, I was born here but I have a lot of the old country in me from my folks. If I had a problem with my wife she would hear about it but I would never tell a neighbor or co-worker. It would be dragging her name through the mud. She does not deserve that.
