Are women more trusting than men?

I have recently split up from a long term parnter, i know another sad depressed moaning women :)

I have been talking to alot of other women in my situation, girl power and all that... and one thing i have come to notice is that so many of us trust the men in our lives with money, our money.... taking loans, credit cards and even letting them take the money we earn. Now i'm not saying this is just a one way thing, i'm sure there must be massive amounts of men who trust women like this too. It makes me wonder why? why do we do this, i would never let my best friend have all ths access to my money or even my mum so why do we sign that dotted line when the man in our lives ask us too? :crazy:
