By the way, men, can you think of a reason he would STILL deny it?
I think it's a power game... it's like trying to get you to drop the violence charges. If he can intimidate you or buy you off, without telling the truth, then (from his world view)1) he has dominated you, and that's good, because a self-respecting man dominates women2) he can pretend to be a good guy to everyone who doesn't know the truth : "see, she had to drop those false charges, see, all she wanted was my money, ..." etc.3) he can end up half-convincing himself that he's a good guy and you're the bitch...
Damn, you guys are good. I couldn't come up with one reason and you all are coming up with so many obvious ones that I feel like an idiot.
Well, I really am going out. It's Friday night and I have had a shitty week. My house guest is asleep, the man in my kitchen has a date and has to leave so I am going to put on my war paint and go out and strut my stuff. I need time to get to know some guy welll enough to do him the night I get my divorce papers and times a wastin'.

Margaret,
The book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" just about says it all. Men and women can see the same event and it will have different meanings, different colors, indeed different everything. It is the way we are each built. I know that as a warrior, I could not be bothered be all the wishy washy stuff that ladies worry about, or the dragons I am hunting for dinner would catch me and eat me. So I throw everything I see and hear out of my mind, except for not letting the dragon get the best of me. With the "Venus" being in the safe cave with the little ones, she has no idea why I did not stop and bring flowers to her, when the hot breath of the dragon was torching my backside. I get home, I have no idea I am supposed to fess up to something I've forgotten about. So out of stress and tiredness, I run off to bed and fade into a far off safe place, my girlfriends house.
