There are many reasons relationships fail and perhaps it might be useful to note that open communication between the people in the relationship is helpful but to suggest that women need to ask for what they want or to come to the conclusion that the individual in this relationship just wanted her boyfriend to be "the man" strikes me as sexist. We will be better off when we stop putting people in a box of defined roles. You are still a man even if you are not the primary breadwinner.
