Why does insecurity in a relationship seem to be so predominately female-generated? Are men just so much more confident of their position in a relationship that they never worry? Or are they just better at squelching any insecure thoughts? Would it be better if they were more insecure from time to time? Or are we all better off with just one half of each couple occasionally worrying about such things?

I've been in a few (not many) relationships. I have broken up with someone, and I have had someone break up with me. The times that I have initiated a break-up, my boyfriend at the time seemed genuinely surprised. Even though there were definite signs along the way - they didn't seem to worry about them at all. So, how is a woman's brain wired that we tend to see signs, or see deficiencies in ourselves, or wonder about what deficiencies our men see in us? And shouldn't we be grateful that our men don't worry about the same things? Or are there some men who do? And should they?
