Could be. Of course, he married her, so he really only had himself to blame.

Just read the article. The author and her friends are a bunch of pretentious and self absorbed douchebaggettes. No wonder why her marriage failed.

Ughh. I honestly tried to read that, but it was like eating five pounds of potatoes. The first paragraph or two were okay, but halfway through I felt nauseated and bloated and I couldn't continue.

msannomalley: Just read the article. The author and her friends are a bunch of pretentious and self absorbed douchebaggettes. No wonder why her marriage failed.

It's always amusing how people try to make themselves feel normal by suggesting that their experiences are commonplace.

/I bet she's fat.

Jeebus - she and her spouse (and her closest friends, apparently) are pathetic losers, and it's society's fault? Honest introspection is probably beyond Loh's abilities, but I'll bet if she had spent a bit of each day working on being a *happy* wife and mother instead of a "good" one she'd wind up being a *good* wife and mother.

But maybe that is society's fault. Society presents a spotless home, happy children, and adoring husband and a fulfilling career as the brass rings to be pursued. Meanwhile, there's little acknowledgement that holding on to one or two of those rings simultaneously is the max that can be achieved without driving oneself insane and not being able to hold *any* of the rings.

[Nah, it doesn't take much thought to determine that one's energy and effort is limited, therefore one's pursuits should be prioritized. Shallow biatches just don't bother thinking the matter through - they just operate as if the *appearance* of happiness is an adequate replacement for actual happiness.]

So this woman by choice sat at home for years instead of going out a living the moments of life when her husband wasn't around and now it's his fault.

Oh yeah - her daddy "raged." Daddy issues - male issues. Men don't give her enough, but she does nothing to go out and get it.

Wait until she's 55 and one of her girly parts has cancer and she's alone. Flat ass farking alone. No guy having casual sex with a 55 year-old is going to sit around with woman while her hair falls out and she barfs on command. She pissed away the only guy that would do that for her.

On your death bed it's not the best sex you had that you remember - it's the people. This biatch deserves neither.

This woman is all about her and now trying to justify cheating on what seems to be a perfectly great guy and then encouraging her friends to dump what seems to be perfectly great guys.

Apparently the one woman doesn't think it's cool that her husband tells her to keep after her weight and looks (health and beauty issue) and pay attention when giving medicine to the dog (she gave the dog the wrong medicine).

I wonder how both of them will react when they re-enter the dating scene and finally have a chance to fulfil their fantasies. I wonder what they'll think of their choices.

The dude will be fine - he'll just get a younger wife, re-discover his libido and have more kids, which will contribute to his ex-wife's bitterness. Meanwhile, she'll have to lose that f*cking weight, package herself attractively and sweeten her attitude if she's gonna get another guy even close to her age (or hell, even an 80-year-old can be picky about looks, if he has enough money). Otherwise, she'll be able to enjoy her lack of sex life and she'll have to cook/clean/parent/etc. by herself instead of having a pretty good partner to do it with her. Dumb biatch - should have put down the ho-hos and picked up the fitness dvd.

Reminds me of that joke about the five-story department store.

These two single women are walking down the street when they notice a new building has gone up. All it says on the side is "MEN." They ask the doorman what the building is, and he explains that it contains single men, organized by category. They simply go up in the elevator, and when the doors open on a floor they would like, they're free to exit. But, once they choose a floor, they cannot get back on the elevator. If they do not find a man they like, they must exit the building and will never be allowed back.

The two women decide to take a chance. They get in the elevator, the doors close, and a moment later they open to reveal a sign that says:

FLOOR 1 - POOR, UGLY MEN.

The two women giggle and push "2". The door opens to reveal a sign that says :

FLOOR 2 - POOR, HANDSOME MEN.

They look at each other and shrug, and the doors close and open a moment later to reveal:

FLOOR 3 - RICH, UGLY MEN.

They look at each other and think, "Ok, we gotta go to the next floor!" The doors open to reveal:

FLOOR 4 - RICH, HANDSOME MEN.

They notice that there's one floor left, and they decide they have to see what's on the fifth floor. The doors close, and then a moment later, they open to reveal:

FLOOR 5: THERE ARE NO MEN ON THIS FLOOR. THIS FLOOR EXISTS TO PROVE THAT WOMEN WILL ALWAYS WANT MORE. PLEASE TAKE THE STAIRS TO YOUR LEFT TO RETURN TO THE STREET.

A very good point that my wife just made to me via emai. She was quite candid when she wrote that if I made a great living and kept in mild shape I could have pretty 30 year-old women well into my 60's. No matter what she does, I'm the youngest man she's ever going to be with. She'll be left with the old guys without enough money to get a younger model. She doesn't think that's a great life to look forward to.

The sad part of this? Some young woman out there is going to take this woman's advice and miss out on a great relationship and become a biatch because of it. Who will get the blame? the guy.

bradkanus: On your death bed it's not the best sex you had that you remember - it's the people. This biatch deserves neither.

I don't think I have ever done this to one of your posts before but THIS.

I can't remember the last time I honestly applied this word to a woman in anything other than jest, by my God...what a f*cking c*nt.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Or, as my wife says, you can either be happy all the time or right all the time. You can never be both.

Best piece of advice that anyone gave me before I got married: Pick. Your. Battles.

Well, I ignore the statistics and just take it as a fact that my wife and I will be together until one of us croaks. I gotta figure myself and all my problems is still a better deal than her being stuck with some old guy 20 years her senior.

The sad part of this? Some young woman out there is going to take this woman's advice and miss out on a great relationship and become a biatch because of it. Who will get the blame? the guy.

The saddest part of this is that there is no 'affirmative action' that can fix this. Men appear biologically driven toward seeking mates that are reproductively healthy; women seek mates that can provide for their safety and comfort. Younger women will accept an older guy if other conditions are met; with few exceptions, younger men, while certainly enjoying their company once in a while, will rarely settle with a much older woman. It's unfair, but so is much of life and it's almost impossible to change that kind of instinctive biology.

There's actually a great deal of truth to that mountain of fluff and self-importance.

Yes, marriage is outdated and possibly even dangerous. That is, if you have a utilitarian - almost mercenary - approach to human relationships, lack the ability to empathize with others, and believe that every horrible thing you do to the people you love most is ultimately their fault, then marriage should not be a life option.

If it means that anyone who remotely sympathizes with the author thinks twice before afflicting some poor schmuck with a lifetime of misery and self-loathing - then I'm all for promoting the hell out of this article.

God damn that's unreadable!

That really depends if you're involved in the best sex you've had on your death bed.

I know that this woman's writing will be hammered repeatedly throughout this thread, but I have to say one thing.

I only made it through that article by skipping entire paragraphs. When a person can do that to your expository writing, and still follow the article, it's time to cut that sh*t down.

You know what though? I'm not going to lay that at the feet of her copy editor. She was a total beast to the man who loves her most in the world, for not giving her enough reasons not to get boned by other men and bail out on their marriage. I can't even imagine what would happen to the poor bastard who tried paring her verbiage down.

This is worse than reading the Tom Bombadil section in LOTR...

This is a baby boomer who loved Heinlein, isn't it?

I'd rather listen to a Tourette's patient read the complete works of Jane Austen aloud than slog through another article like this.

The Cliff Notes version:
"My marriage was an ennui-ridden train wreck filled with resentment & daddy issues. Ergo, the entire institution of marriage is flawed."

unlikely: This is a baby boomer who loved Heinlein, isn't it?

Au, contraire - Heinlein would have told her to stop being a biatch and take care of her man and family instead of playing "poor me" all the time.

StandsWithAFist: "My marriage was an ennui-ridden train wreck filled with resentment & daddy issues. Ergo, the entire institution of marriage is flawed."

I need to use the work 'ennui' more often in general conversation.

What a stupid biatch.

Umm, if they were together for 20years, and they were good to each other, fostered great relationships in and out of the family, raised kids.. etc..
Then I'd say their marriage was successful. Who defines a successful marriage as one that ends when a partner dies? That's bs..

Now back to bashing the biatches! j/k

FTA: "I don't generally even enjoy men."

Well, there's part of the problem.

And yet at the end of the day - literally during a five o'clock counseling appointment, as the golden late-afternoon sunlight spilled over the wall of Balinese masks - when given the final choice by our longtime family therapist, who stands in as our shaman, mother, or priest, I realized ... no.

I'll bet that the husband has been nailing the therapist.

Shrew2u: unlikely: This is a baby boomer who loved Heinlein, isn't it?

Au, contraire - Heinlein would have told her to stop being a biatch and take care of her man and family instead of playing "poor me" all the time.

Bingo. I believe that increasing self-absorption, the idea that the needs of the individual trump all, is causing an increasing amount of harm. Yep, humans are tribal creatures, but our tribes are growing smaller and smaller, and less & less inclined to work with other tribes. The discussion this woman provides in that florid mess of an article demonstrates the symptoms of just that - and not just on her part, either.

Heinlein once described morality in a speech he gave in '73 - that description stuck with me for a very long time. We've missed the point of morality, ethics, and patriotism, and it's going to be damned hard to go back.

As for the writing... consider that it was originally submitted to and published in The Atlantic Monthly, and thus the language is dandified to suit that publication's presumably more sophisticated readership.

1) 20 years of a marriage which is mostly spent building towards unhappiness instead of a lasting bond is more like a prison sentence.

2) They apparently weren't good to one another, which is why she started on a new piece of ass before divorcing the one she married.

3) Considering the equally-unhappy friends she has, she isn't doing well in the "great relationships" department, either.

4) The kids are still fairly young (pre-teen). They'll probably end up AWs like their mom, more's the pity.

It's as though she drank a marriage for dummies book along with a psych 101 textbook and vomited the combined contents all over my monitor. I'd have cheated on her 19 years ago.

Roger Ebert made a similar analogy about the Indiana Jones series. In his review of Crystal Skull he compared each movie to a pound of sausage: you're excited about the first one, then progressively less so.

It's a pretty good one, borrowed or original.

Lots of "THIS" going on in this thread. I am pleasantly surprised that so many Farkers recognize a selfish, self-obsessed person when they run across her tortuous ramblings.

"Ian won't have sex with me," Rachel says flatly. "He has not touched my body in two years. He says it's because I've gained weight." Again, we stoutly protest, but she goes on. "And he thinks I'm a bad mother - he says I'm sloppy and inattentive."

This little coven of selfish biatches knows no bounds. This Ian guy makes me look like a kleptomaniac drunkard and she wants to leave him?

Maybe he's right, Rachel. Maybe your ass needs to get to the gym. He built you a goddamn kitchen. All he wants in return is some slim nookie.

If she does happen to move on and find another guy I hope that guy can find this article. Not just to find out how crazy she is but the fact that she cheated on her husband of 20 years. Anyone who does that is the lowest of the low and really deserves to be alone.

Debeo Summa Credo: That's pretty good. You make that up?

Yup. Initially I had "five pounds of bacon", but then I realized it was a terrible comparison as most farkers, myself included, can't imagine an excessive volume of bacon consumption.

Make your own decisions about it, boyos.

Here's the bad news for the selfish biatch. Her next "relationship" is going to be with a 55 year old man. Meanwhile, her husband is going to be banging college cheerleaders that like his corvette and his gold card.

Do we still need marriage, Sandra? No, WE don't. YOU do.

Doesn't look too shabby in this pic for a 47 year old woman.

I don't generally even enjoy men

No, apparently she enjoys getting blasted on martinis with her catty friends who sit around in a beautiful home and complain about how their awesome husbands might actually be human and have a flaw or two.

Sweet zombie Jesus, ladies, what part of commitment don't you get?

My husband is a good man, though he did travel 20 weeks a year for work.

This doesn't even make any sense. Is he no longer a good man because he traveled?

Good luck in the cougar den, honey, you're going to need it. You just threw away the best thing that ever happened to you. Older men with a few relationships under their belt can smell a self-absorbed twat two blocks away.

PJ_the_Barbarian: Roger Ebert made a similar analogy about the Indiana Jones series. In his review of Crystal Skull he compared each movie to a pound of sausage: you're excited about the first one, then progressively less so.

Well, in all honesty I'd man up if I stole it from Mr. Ebert, but I haven't watched or read one of his reviews in 10 years.

And I had no idea he was even into sausage, much less pound after pound.

bradkanus 2009-07-02 12:46:25 PM

So this woman by choice sat at home for years instead of going out a living the moments of life when her husband wasn't around and now it's his fault.

Oh yeah - her daddy "raged." Daddy issues - male issues. Men don't give her enough, but she does nothing to go out and get it.

Wait until she's 55 and one of her girly parts has cancer and she's alone. Flat ass farking alone. No guy having casual sex with a 55 year-old is going to sit around with woman while her hair falls out and she barfs on command. She pissed away the only guy that would do that for her.

On your death bed it's not the best sex you had that you remember - it's the people. This biatch deserves neither.

I think she's going to be getting exactly what she deserves and even asked for...and she's not going to like it.

Not in our society. I don't care what you look at, as a culture, we've come to worship sociopathy. Remember, that's a not a random blog, the lady got paid to write that.

Wow, that was horrible to read. And I don't just say that as someone who's getting married in two weeks.

I have no tolerance for people who whine "this doesn't work! I can't do this!" when it's really just that they've put zero effort into it, and haven't made it a priority at all.

Soymilk: tricycleracer: This Ian guy makes me look like a kleptomaniac drunkard

You say that like you're not ;-P

Well, only during months that end in 'r'. This is my slow season.

PJ_the_Barbarian: Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 50% statistic is misleading. Isn't it between 60-67% of first marriages that succeed, with multiple divorcees bringing the total divorce numbers the rest of the way up?

Yeah, something that works almost 2 out of 3 times must be completely obsolete.

Lady, you'll have a leg to stand on when more than half of first marriages fail. Not sooner.

Regardless, the whole premise of arguing how well it works for other people is misleading. Marriage is one option for people, not necessarily the right thing for everyone, regardless of its "success" rate.

Success in quotes because a divorce does not mean a failed marriage. Some people expect it to last a few years and that's it.

Good comparisons get made independently by different people all the time.

Gordian Cipher: This doesn't even make any sense. Is he no longer a good man because he traveled?

He wasn't a good man because there was a part of his life that wasn't about me. Even though I benefited from it, that doesn't count.

Treygreen13: tetsoushima: The real problem (new window)

I'll just leave this here.

Other than the annoying YTMND link, you're partly right. That show is probably responsible for some women feeling like they are a victim when they cheat on their husband/boyfriend.

Sarah Jessica Parker's character is a neurotic cheating skank, and some women relate to that.

I guess I was trying to say that she probably never shut the hell up, but I think that you bring up a valid point. I can see the character being a toxic role model to women who take it as reality. I'm sure if I watched it enough, I would never shut up, sleep with as many people as possible, and maybe even run the Kentucky Derby.

I could barely read past the first few paragraphs but it sounds like she didn't become a self-centered c00nt. She evolved into one.

Oh, I'm sure I've heard someone make a similar analogy in the past, just pretty sure it wasn't him.

I'm an economist, so my mind is always thinking about consumption at the margin :)

If anybody on here is familiar with the band Boy Hits Car and their song Mister Loh, it is about this woman's dad.

tl;dr

Condensed: "I am an amoral slutbag who is willing to throw away 20 years of dedication by a man who SHOWED how much he cared for me by working his @$$ off cuz my cooter told me to."

Your marriage stopped being about your cooter when your first daughter fell out of it. Grow up, take care of your family and your responsibilities, and hire the damn nanny so you can get out of the house once in a while.

When you get custody of the kids and half his income and your ex-husband commits suicide, tell yourself it's not really your fault.

Holy crap.

Maybe he's right, Rachel. Maybe your ass needs to get to the gym. He built you a goddamn kitchen. All he wants in return is some slim nookie....and her health insurance from her job so he can freelance, and the high salary from her job ($120k) so he can subscribe to wine clubs.

Let's be fair. She sounds petulant and ridiculus, but he could be less harsh in his criticisms of a woman who finances his lifestyle.

She has Man-Hands too. Ewwww...
The ex is lucky to be rid of her.
Of course, the fact that she cheated on him won't prevent her fro trying to take him for half of his shiat...

Yeah, Ian who slavishly follows Cooks Illustrated, and is a member of a men's fennel club, and got angry because Rachel didn't deglaze a saucepan? I think he doesn't sleep with her because he doesn't have a penis.

On the plus side, she got kicked off NPR a couple of years ago for saying the dreaded f-word...

Yeah, and that is very very sad and any decent and smart guy should stay far far away. She can get the guys who are just as crazy as she is.

In any case, here's my final piece of advice: avoid marriage - or you too may suffer the emotional pain, the humiliation, and the logistical difficulty, not to mention the expense, of breaking up a long-term union at midlife for something as demonstrably fleeting as love.

What a stupid cow. Goddamn, I feel good knowing that she will end up painfully miserable. And, as has been mentioned, the guy will just get to toss her dried up slunkmeat out of the bed to make room for younger hotties.

Talk about justifying your own immorality.

If he was worried about his meal-ticket waltzing off, he wouldn't withhold sex and comment on her weight.

I don't trust this author to give me the facts. She has an agenda: convincing herself that she has done nothing wrong and that she is shepherding her friends into the promised land.

Spike Lee's Favorite Farker: Doesn't look too shabby in this pic for a 47 year old woman.

Yes she does. What are you smoking?

I would be remiss if I didn't point out that surely the way she's raised her kids (to be self-pretentious douchebags - just like her) they will dump her in an old-folk's home the likes of which are investigated by 60 Minutes in a heartbeat.

I used to listen to Ms. Tsing (Loh now? WTFC) on NPR years ago before she got fired. She had a well delivered style, but I never empathized with her stories at all. She always seemed a little too self-important and amused by herself.

Seems some things haven't changed.

Anyone who waits to have their first kid at the age of 40 needs to rethink having kids and how good of a parent they'll be. You'll be an AARP member before they even have their learner's permit.

Sounds like she doesn't like the choices she's made in her life and is blaming everyone around her for it.

LOL, I am certain Ian is gay. 100%. And probably secretly hates the fish he has to live with to hold up his life lie.

People are crazy.

This is why it's much better to meet and date foreigners. Most women from Eastern Europe or Asia still have values such as loyalty, and wouldn't pull this kind of childish shiat.

In women's-magazine parlance, I did not have the strength to "work on" falling in love again in my marriage. And as Laura Kipnis railed in "Against Love," and as everyone knows, good relationships take work.

I've sincerely, honestly, never understood this line of thinking.

Does she have to "work on" loving her children? People make it all so much more complicated than it is. They somehow lose sight that it's life in general they've lost touch with, not just their husbands.

msannomalley: Just read the article. The author and her friends are a bunch of pretentious and self absorbed douchebaggettes. No wonder why her marriage failed.

I came to that conclusion after reading less than ½ of the article - good riddance to the coont.

Spike Lee's Favorite Farker: Doesn't look too shabby in this pic for a 47 year old woman.male bashing lesbian.


All you non-male bashing lesbians are okay with me, even if you are fat an ugly. I actually prefer my lesbians to be fat and ugly, because if there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that most women are at least vaguely curious, so the uglier you are the less I have to worry about.

Treygreen13: Other than the annoying YTMND link, you're partly right. That show is probably responsible for some women feeling like they are a victim when they cheat on their husband/boyfriend.

Sarah Jessica Parker's character is a neurotic cheating skank, and some women relate to that.

I think it's simply threefold
1) She was a neurotic whining loon. Many women can relate to that.
2) Her problems are either (1) funny little harmless quirks (like being constantly broke from compulsive spending) or (2) somebody else's fault.
3) She gets to fark the most desirable men in New York despite 1,2, and looking like a horse, and has a glamorous job as a columnist despite having nothing to say other than "yay, me".

she needs a carrot.

ActionJoe: If she does happen to move on and find another guy I hope that guy can find this article. Not just to find out how crazy she is but the fact that she cheated on her husband of 20 years. Anyone who does that is the lowest of the low and really deserves to be alone.

/dumb broad

I couldn't make it through the whole article. I just got a mental image of a whiny woman repeatedly saying, "I'm not happy! I'm not happy! I'm not happy!"

Lady, nobody promised you happiness, and you're not entitled to it. If you find it, good for you. It will probably come at the end of some sort of awful struggle; it tends to be that way. And then you better enjoy it, because it will probably be temporary. Eventually, it will come around again, after some more struggle. Hopefully you eventually learn that happiness is relative, and that the struggle is necessary for the happiness if only to give you a basis for comparison.

tricycleracer: withhold sex and comment on her weight.

I am a divorcee myself, but I am not bitter. My ex and I parted ways amicably after a few years of a young marriage, no kids to worry about, and no money to fight over. That being said, my ex never withheld sex and never commented on my weight (as it turned out my body was being misshapen not by fat, but by a tumor the size of a chihuahua, so it's a good thing he kept his tongue or he would have felt terrible after the ultrasound disclosing said chihuahua), and I can't imagine staying married to anyone who would be so cruel.

THIS. One wonders if she needs to be at the gym in 26 minutes.

She probably needs to be the at the gym, but hasn't seen one in ages.

This goes both ways. If you don't even try to look good, then your partner will eventually start looking for someone who does.

Oh my LORD that woman is in love with herself and her vocabulary. I love big words and intelligent writing but I wanted to punch her in her martini-swilling face.

unlikely: This is a baby boomer who loved Heinlein, isn't it?

I think the more important part is the "Baby Boomer" part. They are in many ways a generation of losers (though obviously that's a sweeping generalization, but hey, this is Fark :)). They've farked up their marriages in large numbers, farked up our government, political, and economic system royally as soon as they took control of it, and screwed their own children completely. Because it never stopped being all about them and their oh-so-"special" age cohort, even though they are now in their late 40's-early 60's. I know this is anecdotal, but I have a lot of friends whose Boomer parents totally screwed up their marriages for shallow reasons (mine did too). And I don't see the same sort of self-centered egotism among nearly as many younger people. So I'm beginning to wonder if it's just something particularly sick about the Boomers, rather than actually America in general.

mesmer242: Wow, that was horrible to read. And I don't just say that as someone who's getting married in two weeks.

I have no tolerance for people who whine "this doesn't work! I can't do this!" when it's really just that they've put zero effort into it, and haven't made it a priority at all.

You say that until you've done everything you can, and your partner is still whiney, pissed off all the time and never EVER wants to have sex.

When you're as self-centered as pop culture encourages you to be, love is hard work because it's about service. If you're conditioned to never put someone else's well-being above your own, it's really hard work to fake it.

Son, I believe we can go way past "probably". Personally, I'm going with man-hating lesbian that won't admit it, constantly seeking the next dick to satisfy that vagina shaped hole in her sanity, never pleased because while each thrust brings her closer to satisfaction she never gets the fulfillment from a man she gets from her shrill harpy fan club who lavish her with me-too praise and affection yet lack the necessary hardware to give her the good deep dicking she'd get just as well from a fisher price toy or produce aisle.

They arent' looking for wives, they're looking for daughters they can bone.

I look at them and think "Huh. Couldn't compete in the First World, so they're slumming in the minors".

I admit it's anecdotal, and maybe you're right. Maybe it's just a lot more unbecoming to hear a 47 year-old mother with young kids whine about her sex life and justify her cheating than it is a young single person. At some point, you need to take responsibility and commit to the life you've chosen for yourself, if only to not leave a trail of personal destruction in your wake. That point is way before 47 years old and decades into your marriage.

Treygreen13: tetsoushima: The real problem (new window)

I'll just leave this here.

Other than the annoying YTMND link, you're partly right. That show is probably responsible for some women feeling like they are a victim when they cheat on their husband/boyfriend.

Sarah Jessica Parker's character is a neurotic cheating skank, and some women relate to that.

People have been cheating since people have been farking. Some of them feel a need to justify it. Others just want to bone and can't help themselves!

wh0mprat: PJ_the_Barbarian: wh0mprat: Poohba: This is why it's much better to meet and date foreigners. Most women from Eastern Europe or Asia still have values such as loyalty, and wouldn't pull this kind of childish shiat.

And it's easier to exploit them economically.

But if enough people get into that business, demand will go up and they'll be able to command higher wages and better conditions, and the whole game's up.

/what? It works in sweatshops.

I'm always kind of appalled when I see a Dateline story on 'marriage tours' of Russia or East Graboslavia or wherever. Because those dudes are always fat. Without exception. And they go on about how American women are all biatchy princesses but that Graboslavian girls are all very sweet and loyal and love you for who you are. They arent' looking for wives, they're looking for daughters they can bone.

I look at them and think "Huh. Couldn't compete in the First World, so they're slumming in the minors".

You're just jealous you aren't banging a hot young Graboslavian wench.

Yeah, lady, we travel for work 20 weeks a year because we want to, not because we have to in order to provide the house with a pool, new SUV, lake house and horses for you and the kids to enjoy.

Darth Mewling: mesmer242: Wow, that was horrible to read. And I don't just say that as someone who's getting married in two weeks.

I have no tolerance for people who whine "this doesn't work! I can't do this!" when it's really just that they've put zero effort into it, and haven't made it a priority at all.

You say that until you've done everything you can, and your partner is still whiney, pissed off all the time and never EVER wants to have sex.

You know, I offered to put in our wedding vows that I promise to have sex with my dude at least once a week for the rest of our lives until no longer physically possible, but he didn't think that'd be appropriate for a church wedding in front of our conservative families.

My lack of work spiel was directed at the writer, not the husband.

Though that Ian guy needs to put out or shut up.

Epossumondas: busy chillin': pnjunction

That cartoon is perfect. i was just talking to a coworker lady and asked her about her 4th of July plans. All of sudden she is telling me about some friends daughter that just got into pharmacy school...I'll stop...about 10 more useless details before she finally says she is going to a lake in Nebraska. Sheesh.


Gah! That's the way my mother and my female relatives all talk. I am too riddled with ADD to follow along, and I know I get that glazed over look in my eyes.

And my hubby has no idea how lucky he is that I'm not a chatterbox, considering I come from a looong line of them.

I sometimes think, with a chill, that I'll marry a woman like my dear old mum. Someone who just never shuts up.

Mnemia: I admit it's anecdotal, and maybe you're right. Maybe it's just a lot more unbecoming to hear a 47 year-old mother with young kids whine about her sex life and justify her cheating than it is a young single person.

It sure as hell is unbecoming. At that age she sure ought to know better. But we've always had stupid selfish people. No generation has cornered the market on being a complete asshole.

Mr Guy: Schagnasty: She's probably a biatch.

Son, I believe we can go way past "probably". Personally, I'm going with man-hating lesbian that won't admit it, constantly seeking the next dick to satisfy that vagina shaped hole in her sanity, never pleased because while each thrust brings her closer to satisfaction she never gets the fulfillment from a man she gets from her shrill harpy fan club who lavish her with me-too praise and affection yet lack the necessary hardware to give her the good deep dicking she'd get just as well from a fisher price toy or produce aisle.

My way's shorter, but yeah.

Oh yeah - her daddy "raged." Daddy issues - male issues. Men don't give her enough, but she does nothing to go out and get it.

Wait until she's 55 and one of her girly parts has cancer and she's alone. Flat ass farking alone. No guy having casual sex with a 55 year-old is going to sit around with woman while her hair falls out and she barfs on command. She pissed away the only guy that would do that for her.

On your death bed it's not the best sex you had that you remember - it's the people. This biatch deserves neither.

Wow, you're bitter.

It doesn't mean I'm wrong. I'm just sick and tired of people farking their own lives up and blaming it on everyone else.

She's a whore, and that's all there is to it. It's not her husband's fault for working so hard to buy her stuff. It's not her daddy's fault for being angry with her mother. It's not society's fault for not praising her like a goddess.

It's her own fault for falling on her back and spreading her legs for random men when she claims to be monogamous.

What's worse - it's her fault compounded for being unwilling to give up her extra man when that could have saved her marriage.

I don't know many people that would subscribe to that logic. Whenever I've discussed the topic of cheating with people, men and women, there seems to be a general consensus that regardless of the gender of the cheater, you're pretty much a scumbag if you do it.

I don't think that any of that stuff would imply approval for cheating. It's the lying and dishonesty that I have a problem with, personally. If you want to have an open marriage, or be a swinger, or whatever, go for it - as long as you're married to someone who is cool with that. I'm all for that kind of freedom if people want to do that with like-minded people.

I wish her ex all the happiness in the world, and that her next boyfriend/husband does to her what she did to him.

zabadu: While I agree that maybe the numbers are off, I still would not take eharmony's word for it. Lousy source.

So find a better one. There are plenty of legitimate research articles showing exactly the same thing.

She'll probably end up alone and bitter with that attitude.

Hope the husband picks up some nice strange in the next couple of years and then settles down with a chick 10 to 20 years his junior.

/browsers is screwing up, this might have gotten posted twice.

Clearly the issue here isn't that marriage is "outdated" its that the author of the article is bitter.

shes bitter because shes been forced to think that she is a failure because she sets some standard for herself that she can't achieve, so naturally, she will hate the thought of marriage, because thinking of marriage makes her think of how she messed up in life.

However, had things gone a little differently, say for example, she tried to go out on the road with her 'musician husband' every now and then, tried to initiate more time with him when he wasn't on the road, etc. this could, and probably would be, a very different article.

Theres nothing wrong with wanting more, but because you screwed up, which really is subjective, she hates the thought of it. Quite frankly its absurd and wrong to just blame "the insitution of marriage" on her own issues.

Make your own decisions about it, boyos.

Well... she's not fat, so perhaps her husband stopped touching her because she's a coont or because he's gay. Perhaps both. Or maybe he just grew some taste and has been cheating on the side for years.

In either case, as with all cheating threads, if you aren't a good enough person to avoid cheating on your spouse, you're not a good enough person for me to care about your existence.

Of course, that pretty much applies to anybody in the media/entertainment industry.

I forced myself to read this entire article when it was in The Atlantic. Like most of you, I felt nauseus and disgusted by every word. The article didn't have comments enabled, so I feared that what this insensitive, mentally imbalanced woman was writing might possibly be considered normal.

This thread has restored my faith in humanity. Once again, Farkers come through.

Old, jaded people with that much financial and social comfort should never be allowed to complain. The author cheated, and is struggling desperately - pathetically - to rationalize it. And in the public sphere! I hate people that refuse to work to improve something, but complain about it anyway. They can suck my ballz.

No, I agree that there are some marriages that should be ended. That's a lot different from cheating and then whining about how it's the fault of marriage that yours didn't work out.

And for one point that the author of this article is actually right about - it's not so much the dissolution of a bad marriage that is hard on the kids, it's often the recoupling of the parents with new partners. I know that in my case the divorce itself was okay as both my parents stayed very involved in my life. It was the idiot stepparents who caused all the discord and problems (both my parents married crazied people within a year of the divorce for their second marriages, and neither of them worked out well at all).

Or best of all, after the breast-feeding and toddler years are through, let those nurturing superdads be the custodial parents! Let the Type A moms obsessively work, write checks, and forget to feed the dog. Let the dads then, if they wish, kick out those sloppy working mothers and run effective households, hiring the appropriate staff, if need be. To a certain extent, men today may have more clarity about what it takes to raise children in the modern age. They don't, for instance, have today's working mother's ambivalence and emotional stickiness.

Yes, because this country has become a masculine wasteland, amirite?

There are literally no career-oriented men left. Men have been completed domesticated, devoid of all feral tendencies. We just want to raise children and cook overly-complex French cuisine.

Conversely, the women of this nation want nothing more than to work 60 hours a week, procreate, briefly nurse, then abandon their children and return to the office.

She's really got our number, society. We should pay attention to this grand visionary.

mitEj: Ummon: At 41 my wife decided "she didn't want to be married anymore". She spent the next year acting like a 5 year old. Finally I said to hell with it and moved out.

I had a very hot GF 10 years younger than myself in under 2 weeks. and I'm not particularly attractive. the wife is still her own miserable self

Women do it to themselves and they wonder why they can't meet a good man

My fave was the one that left claiming I was holding her back and then did nothing.

I have been a great deal happier in my life since that relationship ended, (After the 8 months of crippling depression that is)

I wish her ex all the happiness in the world, and that her next boyfriend/husband does to her what she did to him.

Been there, done that. I'm a zillion times better off without my ex and she is a mess right now. I feel a bit bad for her, as we parted ways on good terms a decade ago. But I predicted the outcome nearly to perfection. (She was searching for her solemate, yadda yadda)

Enjoy the good life!

Winner. Perfectly worded, eloquent prose, well researched, and backed by facts. You need to read no further.

bradkanus: Ah... the bachelor who thinks being a bachelor will always be cool. At some point you'll be 40

I'm a 40 year old bachelor, but then I was never cool.

bradkanus: ...I was just saying that banging two asian chicks in suite at Mandalay won't cross your mind on your death bed...

Yeah, and they probably weren't real chicks either...

Funny, by human nature she should have been really attracted to a guy just like her dad, explosive temper and all. Instead she settled on a safe artsy musician and then just let things fall apart.

My guess is the guy she banged is exactly like her dad too.

Oh well, the moral of the story was pretty much that each of those people got exactly who they deserve.

I don't need to get married. I love every minute of my life. I have lots of sex with multiple partners. Outside of my job, no one in the world can tell me where to be or what to do. I spend my weekends relaxing and partying instead of cleaning up poop and falling asleep at 9:30.

Want to get married? Knock yourself out. I don't envy you. Don't pity me for being a bachelor. I don't need it.


Ah... the bachelor who thinks being a bachelor will always be cool. At some point you'll be 40 hanging out with 24 year-old guys a Makos in Orlando... they'll make fun of you behind your back, you'll buy the drinks. I was you, but stopped when people started looking at me for the loser I was becoming.

You don't have to get married, but you do have stop being a bachelor at some point. Of course, this is fark and you don't have do anything you don't want to do as long your mother's basement is clean and you keep the music down.

/I wasn't saying everyone had to get married, I was just saying that banging two asian chicks in suite at Mandalay won't cross your mind on your death bed - your best friend, father, favorite dog, aunt etc.. will be what you think of.

There, just saved some people a couple minutes.

BTW, I love all the "her husband will be banging cheerleaders" comments. Right. Unless he's Donald Trump rich, he'll be banging 30-somethings (maybe), not 20-somethings.


RE wh0mprat: "I'm always kind of appalled when I see a Dateline story on 'marriage tours' of Russia or East Graboslavia or wherever. Because those dudes are always fat. Without exception.

Marriage has turned into nothing more for women to be sluts and then take all the marital assets and then have their ex-husbands give them 75% of their paychecks for the rest of their lives.

Why is there such an obvious double standard when it comes to farking outside of marriage?

If a woman gets caught messing around with Juan The Swarthy Poolboy^TM they can fall back on excuses like, "He was never home", "I was lonely", "My husband drove me into the arms of another man"... while fervent watchers of Oprah's book club, SITC, and Lifetime television nod their heads approvingly in sympathy.

If a man gets caught with the 19 year old babysitter or office temp because his wife hadn't given him any since Clinton was in office, he is automatically judged to be nothing but a disgusting worm for whom burning at the stake, castration with a chainsaw, and impalement on a rusty fence post would not be enough punishment. So say we all.

So now we have this article, in which the author seeks to elicit some measure of sympathy for her her humping around by blaming everyone and everything but herself, as if she just accidently tripped and fell on the dick. What a selfish, self-absorbed coont. Hope her laptop keeps her warm, because when she is old and prune-like there won't be anything else that temperature near her crotch ever again.

Good for the goose and all that, I says...

Sorry lady, but you seem like a self absorbed douchebag, and cared more about yourself than you husband who had to travel all over the place to work, while you farked all his friends. Now you cant even dredge up the energy to give your marriage a second chance, even though your husband was willing.

/go be a lesbian or a whore, whichever you choose. Either way, go away and STFU.

It embiggens us to think that anybody cares about the wharrgarble we write here. ooooh, that biatch'll learn a lesson from us. grrr.

So her husband works his ass off so this harpie can sit on her ass and be a "writer" only to turn around and sleep with another man.

And it is his fault.

And now I bet he gets to pay to keep her in the "life she knows" or better yet "child support" funneled to whatever self absorbed BS she feels like trying.

PascalsGhost: In the entire history of missing the point, few humans have managed to miss the point as much as you.

/Don't bother checking my profile, Fark. I'm a dude.

Is the headline actually what she was saying? I tried to read the article but it was too long and boring.

I mean, there is a point to the "marriage is obsolete" argument, people are living long enough to get tired of each other's shiat these days, and back in the "good old days" of rare divorces and lifelong marriages mistresses and affairs tended to be common. Even so, cheating is wrong, if you cannot own up to your boredom BEFORE sleeping around, you are a jackass.

Didn't they ever consider swinging? If she's just whining for some strange wood, I mean, there are all kinds of places that can accommodate.

Part of the problem is that women (and the law) forget Marriage is a contract. It pretty much says I get to take care of you and you in turn get to fark me when I wish.

Except fat nasty feminists managed to drop the second part. So the guy now gets the privilege to marry a female who gets all the money regardless and doesn't have to reciprocate in manner or from.

The contract can also be modified at any time by any court at their whim.

Oh yay, reverse Mormonism.

You'll have a blast -- And yes, you will get the cute 20-year-olds. I will say, they get tiresome after some time. But, until that time, enjoy the heck out of it! You'll have an awsome string of young hotties, grow bored of their empty minds and find a nice older woman and get the best of both worlds -- sex and a mind!

/worked for me!

She sounds like she can't understand normal thinking.

Okay, Farkers, who here goes to bed every night with a glass of Merlot? I always thought that was just something they did in the movies.

/I imagine that when she goes to bed she wears one of those silk robes with the feathery collars and cuffs and has her hair wrapped up like Norma Desmond's.

But as we all know, the Sexually Open Marriage fizzled with the lava lamp, because it is just downright icky for most people.

We know no such thing. It's the way most modern couples I know (as opposed to, say, my grandparents, who have pride in their discipline to fall back on) deal with marriage after the kids reach a certain age.

I know that's anecdotal, but the couples I know that don't deal with it in that fashion are either dramatically older than me (pre-boom), divorced, or my parents. While I can't claim that a majority of people do it from my sample, I can damn well assert it hasn't 'fizzled'. It would probably even fix this woman's problem.

Though, that said... if you and your spouse have agreed to be sexually monogamous and taken an oath to be such, and you break it, it's your own damn fault. No amount of rationalization as to why the oath is 'outdated' absolves you of breaking it, you get as little pity from us as the gay folk in the military who go on national TV about it after being given an order (which they've sworn to follow) not to, then act all shocked and offended when they're discharged. No, wait, you get even less sympathy, because this is a bad order to which you subjected yourself with full intent instead of a bad order imposed by society/the government for which we as citizens are partially responsible.

Fail.

//If you think of marriage-- or, hell, dating for that matter-- as complete ownership of the other person or any aspect of their behavior, I think you've got a problem to start with. Women were granted suffrage a while ago, it's intended to be more of a partnership than a mutual subjugation.

//Not married myself, though not necessarily through lack of trying.

msannomalley: Just read the article. The author and her friends are a bunch of pretentious and self absorbed douchebaggettes. No wonder why her marriage failed.

I can now die happy after douchebaggettes.

Women will never achieve true equality until they stop blaming men for every stupid thing they do and they step up and take responsibility for their all of their actions. Women will never achieve true equality until they stop playing the victims and viewing anyone who possesses the Y chromosome and a penis as the enemy. Women will never achieve true equality until we stop criticizing each others choices and stop tearing each other down. Women will never achieve true equality until they drop the "man-hating" bullshiat.

The feminist movement, or the second wave, which the Boomers are responsible for, has done more harm than good to women's equality. Men are supposed to be evil oppressive uncouth bastards, but you're not a real woman unless you act like a man. And if you do traditionally female things, then you're being oppressed by those evil oppressive uncouth bastard men. WTF is that supposed to mean? If I want to stay home and take care of my kids or take up knitting or dress in a feminine way, it's because it's my choice to do so, and not because those evil bastard-men are forcing me to do it. I thought that being able to choose what I wanted to do with my life was the whole point of feminism.

A few hours later, and this woman and her self-absorption still pisses me off. My husband and I have been married for seven years and we have gone through some pretty awful shiat during that time and yet, we have survived and our marriage is stronger than ever and we are closer than ever. This self-absorbed twat throws in the towel and cheats after 20 years for stupid and selfish reasons. She deserves to die shriveled up and alone.

So find a better one. There are plenty of legitimate research articles showing exactly the same thing.

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/01news/firstmarr.htm

New data on marriage, divorce, and remarriage in the United States show that 43 percent of first marriages end in separation or divorce within 15 years, according to a report released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The report, "First Marriage Dissolution, Divorce, and Remarriage: United States," also shows that one in three first marriages end within 10 years and one in five end within 5 years. The findings are based on data from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth, a study of 10,847 women 15-44 years of age.

So, basically....

After 5 years - 1/5 marriages have ended in divorce.
After 10 years - 1/3 marriages have ended in divorce.
After 15 years - ~1/2 marriages have ended in divorce.

Yes, 43% is less than 50% - but we're only looking at the first 15 years. People do get divorced after that.

mekki: Okay, Farkers, who here goes to bed every night with a glass of Merlot? I always thought that was just something they did in the movies.

/I imagine that when she goes to bed she wears one of those silk robes with the feathery collars and cuffs and has her hair wrapped up like Norma Desmond's.

I don't know. She seems to detest the notion of silky lingerie, so a silky robe may be equally unappealing. And she doesn't want to give her husband the illusion that she's dressing sexy for him. My guess is she goes to bed wearing sweats and an oversized t-shirt. Probably with merlot stains on it.

Fark_Guy_Rob: Mnemia
So find a better one. There are plenty of legitimate research articles showing exactly the same thing.

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/01news/firstmarr.htm

New data on marriage, divorce, and remarriage in the United States show that 43 percent of first marriages end in separation or divorce within 15 years, according to a report released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The report, "First Marriage Dissolution, Divorce, and Remarriage: United States," also shows that one in three first marriages end within 10 years and one in five end within 5 years. The findings are based on data from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth, a study of 10,847 women 15-44 years of age.

So, basically....

After 5 years - 1/5 marriages have ended in divorce.
After 10 years - 1/3 marriages have ended in divorce.
After 15 years - ~1/2 marriages have ended in divorce.

Yes, 43% is less than 50% - but we're only looking at the first 15 years. People do get divorced after that.

Not very many, though - if you've tolerated someone that long chances are you can keep it up.

Fark_Guy_Rob: Yes, 43% is less than 50% - but we're only looking at the first 15 years. People do get divorced after that.

Or cremated...

Depends on the thread... in this sort of thread, we're all vigorous supporters of monogamy and/or the sanctity of marriage.

In another thread, we may all be super-sexed swingers that have no fewer than 17 simultaneous sex partners.

In this post-ideological age, we don't have firm, fixed beliefs and ideas anymore. What we support can change from day to day with no difficulty or apparent contradiction.

Tommy Moo: I don't need to get married. I love every minute of my life. I have lots of sex with multiple partners. Outside of my job, no one in the world can tell me where to be or what to do. I spend my weekends relaxing and partying instead of cleaning up poop and falling asleep at 9:30.

I hope you got to the gym - you only had 26 minutes, after all.

PJ_the_Barbarian: Not very many, though - if you've tolerated someone that long chances are you can keep it up.

Dunno, I'm betting there's a bump around 20-30 years once the kids are old enough.

msannomalley: Women will never achieve true equality until they stop blaming men for every stupid thing they do and they step up and take responsibility for their all of their actions. Women will never achieve true equality until they stop playing the victims and viewing anyone who possesses the Y chromosome and a penis as the enemy. Women will never achieve true equality until we stop criticizing each others choices and stop tearing each other down. Women will never achieve true equality until they drop the "man-hating" bullshiat.

The feminist movement, or the second wave, which the Boomers are responsible for, has done more harm than good to women's equality. Men are supposed to be evil oppressive uncouth bastards, but you're not a real woman unless you act like a man. And if you do traditionally female things, then you're being oppressed by those evil oppressive uncouth bastard men. WTF is that supposed to mean? If I want to stay home and take care of my kids or take up knitting or dress in a feminine way, it's because it's my choice to do so, and not because those evil bastard-men are forcing me to do it. I thought that being able to choose what I wanted to do with my life was the whole point of feminism.

A few hours later, and this woman and her self-absorption still pisses me off. My husband and I have been married for seven years and we have gone through some pretty awful shiat during that time and yet, we have survived and our marriage is stronger than ever and we are closer than ever. This self-absorbed twat throws in the towel and cheats after 20 years for stupid and selfish reasons. She deserves to die shriveled up and alone.

Ummon: At 41 my wife decided "she didn't want to be married anymore". She spent the next year acting like a 5 year old. Finally I said to hell with it and moved out.

I had a very hot GF 10 years younger than myself in under 2 weeks. and I'm not particularly attractive. the wife is still her own miserable self

Women do it to themselves and they wonder why they can't meet a good man

BOOM!

/Teach me

You all have pretty much said what needs to be said. I only wish to add to the general sentiment of "what a horrible biatch!"

Look, being happy is important, but this world is far too complex for everything to be "perfect" or "just as you like it." Learn to adapt instead of demanding that every single event be just as you imagined it.

See
"the Ten Walruses of Zen"

KaponoFor3: You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Or, as my wife says, you can either be happy all the time or right all the time. You can never be both.

Best piece of advice that anyone gave me before I got married: Pick. Your. Battles.

So you listen to the comic book guy for advice?

PJ_the_Barbarian
Well, regardless, there is some amount greater than 0. After all, this lady from the article is getting divorced after 20 years.

So, I guess my point is that 43% + whomever gets divorced after 15 years (which is larger than 0%) is *awfully* close to the commonly stated 'Half of all marriages end in divorce'.

Some people up higher in the thread were saying the number wasn't accurate, but the best study I've found seems to support it.

Huh? I'm confused. I'm anti-religion, anti-cheating, anti-(our)government every day.

IamAwake: In women's-magazine parlance, I did not have the strength to "work on" falling in love again in my marriage. And as Laura Kipnis railed in "Against Love," and as everyone knows, good relationships take work.

I've sincerely, honestly, never understood this line of thinking.

Does she have to "work on" loving her children? People make it all so much more complicated than it is. They somehow lose sight that it's life in general they've lost touch with, not just their husbands.

This is just about the wisest thing I've read all week. I'm going to memorize it.

Shrew2u: Honest introspection is probably beyond Loh's abilities...

This. Her entire effort here seems to be focused on blaming the institution and/or society so she can avoid admitting that she is a bad person and made poor decisions 20 years into her marriage.

You mean my married life didn't turn out to be world traveling, yachts and shopping sprees?

MARRIAGE IS DOOMED!

The_Gallant_Gallstone: No point in it... this attacking TommyMoo business seems to be a waste of time... he's probably too busy doing some "Christian Bale from American Psycho" stuff to even notice your criticisms.

Well now, I see someone was told. If only I had a handy flowchart to address how I should respond...

Yes, 43% is less than 50% - but we're only looking at the first 15 years. People do get divorced after that.

Not to quibble, but that still doesn't give the complete picture. You still have a lot of first marriages marrying second marriages, which throws the odds off as well. The numbers still aren't good.

I believe in the institution of marriage, just not sure it's in the cards for me. Unfortunately, the GF has pretty strong opinions on the subject.

She figured out she's semi-hot, her hormones are making her stick to her seat and she's bored at home.

She better hurry and cougar it up...time waits for no one.

chaoswolf: Huh? I'm confused. I'm anti-religion, anti-cheating, anti-(our)government every day.

Then you either have a pure and consistent way of looking at things; in other words, you're an ideologue (a dying breed) or else you have yet to recognize the contradictions in your belief structure.

I don't attribute this to you, but many anti-government types catalogue the bestial atrocities commited by the Obama administration while failing to consider the precedents as established by the Bush administration.

That sort of selective-indignation is just one example of the inconsistent mindsets that occupy our nation today.

See? It isn't pole-smokers and carpet-munchers who are ruining the institution of marriage, it's self-absorbed farkhead biatches like this who take their special hetero rights and piss all over them.

How about this for a new law: you don't have to be straight to get a marriage license, but you do have to NOT be an immature twat who will screw up your own life and then biatch and whine that it's everyone's fault but your own.

Or how about this: for every hetero idiot who doesn't show the proper respect for marriage (i.e. who gets divorced for a selfish reason, ridicules the institution of marriage, and glorifies divorce - divorce from an abusive spouse or a calm, level-headed agreement that the couple just wasn't meant to be is still allowed), a gay couple gets a chance to do a better job. And to make it fair and not give a free pass to idiot homos who disrespect the institution of marriage the same way idiot heteros do, for every gay couple that divorces, they and the divorced hetero couple all kicked in the crotch on public TV. That way, people who actually appreciate marriage will stay married, gay or straight, and the bitter old hags and jackasses who don't appreciate it get abused for our entertainment. Voila, everyone's happy. Except for the miserable old hags and jackasses. But people who sabotage their own lives get no pity, so everyone who matters is happy.

nuclear_asshat: BTW, does it seem to anyone else that men rationalize to themselves why they are going to cheat, but that women want to rationalize it to the whole world? It's a generalization, but I wonder if it holds some water.

I think so. I don't know of any studies done on it but the women I know who have had affairs felt a need to 1) tell me about it without needing to be drunk, and 2) try to get me to agree that they were justified. First off, I didn't feel it was any of my business, and second, it's not my job to soothe their conscience.

Men on the other hand, usually need to be drunk before they talk, and then they tell you why she was a b*tch, and they don't care if you agree or not.

"My husband is a good man, though he did travel 20 weeks a year for work."

She makes it sound like he was swimming in the sauce once in a while.

This is the worst piece of crap I have ever attempted to read. I want to strangle this woman and her stupid friends.

The root problem with "Today's" woman is they are lazy and hold others (you) responsible for their "happiness".

Beer, girlfriends and porn > Marriage.

0MGWTFBBQ: tl/dr

Lucky.

I decided what I hate most about this biatch. It's a horse race with her many other vomit inducing qualities, but here is the finalist for me.

Have some farking respect for your former partner and your kids by abstaining from writing about it. Don't write a long bloated story to rationalize your whoring. Do it quietly and with discretion like people have done for decades. Then feel guilty and try to never do it again.

Now it's not enough to cheat. People have to make a show of it and plead their case to feel like they are still a good person. She is far beyond a weak and selfish person. She's a attention whore who needs the world to love her.fark. If my gf ever farks some other dude (and maybe she has) I'd hope she has the decency to at least not be such and obvious and disrespectful coont.

Holy shiat. Shut up, lady.

Understood, and I'll go for the first answer. While I don't hate Obama nearly as much as I did Bush, I do view every president that I've experienced as an abject failure as a leader, regardless of my opinion that some have been better humans than others.

It's tough attempting to be honest all the time, tougher still when trying to be honest with yourself.

You're confusing the writer with her friend. The writer was getting plenty at home and some on the side. The friend is married to some gay dude.

Oh yeah...?

wow, what a coont

My wife almost fell off the couch@"douchebaguette"

Who is this skanky, self-important, round heeled cow and what on God's green earth is she wittering on about?

Anybody?

Turns out there can be only one man in the house, contrary to what the Women's Movement might have taught you. The other factor that's common to all these unhappy women is...children. I can't tell you how many parents I've talked to confide in me that they wish they hadn't had any. And those friends of mine whose marriages are on the rocks share that sentiment. If that sounds harsh, it's the truth. With both couples working and the huge demand that children put on time and resources, it's amazing any marriages with offspring survive.

It's not that children are the cause of divorce, is that today we tend to put children ahead of the marriage. And that's a surefire way to find yourself single.

msannomalley: St_Francis_P: She bravely rattles on, throwing out attempts at flowery prose while regaling us with byzantine sidelines and petty diversions; but yeah...what subby said.


Maybe this is why her husband traveled on business 20 weeks a year. He couldn't stand to listen her prattle on like that, either.

Jesus that was some shiatty writing, sounded like some romance wanna be novel and that was really rambling just to admit shes a whore.

If women want sex then they could just be sexy every once in a while, face it ladies men dont have the sex drive in their 40s like they did when they were 15 when their dick would get hard just thinking about titties. Being shy and coy with sexual desires usually makes you end up alone in bed.

hockeychick: Yeah, his wedding vegetables magically teleported into her hoo-ha. It wasn't her fault, really it wasn't.

She doesn't even have enough respect for her husband to claim she got roofied- she just flat says she spread for someone else and it's society's fault. I'm all for being adventurous in (and out) of the bedroom to keep things interesting, but if you're married and you fark someone else, you are a whore.

AshHousewares18: Wizzin: Yea, about halfway through I stopped reading and wished death upon her.

You made it half-way?

I just want to join the chorus of people who found that article utterly painful and mind-numbing to read. I kept asking myself as I was reading the article why I was having such a hard time getting through it. It wasn't that long but, damn, I just couldn't do it. I barely had it in me to click to page 2, and once I got there, I gave up.

What was it? I usually don't have a problem reading a two-page article, no matter how boring. But that was just sapping my will to live.

Speak for yourself, viagraman.

TheFredSavages: Firstly, she says they haven't slept together in 2 years; he says she "too fat" so he hasn't given her the pickle tickle.

that's ****ed up. If it was a woman, all y'all would be on the guy's side for wanting to leave (as would I). In this case, I'm on her side. Let's re-examine that:

NO SEX FOR 2 YEARS

I'm pretty sure that was the self-absorbed coont's friend, and not the self-absorbed coont herself.

TheFredSavages:
Whoa...

little complex, I think.

Perhaps her writing has melted your reading comprehension centers in your brain.

In that case, I'd explain to you that the no-sex-in-two-years woman is NOT the author of said article, but one of her friends, who is contemplating divorcing her superficially-perfect husband.

Or perhaps you are a simpleton, a dolt, a moron, or idiot.

paygun: That's an awful lots of words just to say "I'm a slut."

Actually made me LOL. Doesn't happen that often.

IXI Jim IXI: She's blaming the world because she couldn't keep her cooch covered?

Classy.

(I got about four paragraphs in before I felt the incredible urge to trepan)


For correctly using the word "trepan" on the internet. You, sir, are my new favorite Farker.

calm like a bomb: hockeychick: Yeah, his wedding vegetables magically teleported into her hoo-ha. It wasn't her fault, really it wasn't.

No, whores get paid. She's a slut.

And it's not society's fault that you can't keep your legs crossed. Society didn't stand there with a gun to your head demanding you do the horizontal mambo.

Ummon: Part of the problem is that women (and the law) forget Marriage is a contract. It pretty much says I get to take care of you and you in turn get to fark me when I wish.

Except fat nasty feminists managed to drop the second part. So the guy now gets the privilege to marry a female who gets all the money regardless and doesn't have to reciprocate in manner or from.

The contract can also be modified at any time by any court at their whim.

Have someone fark you whenever you wish doesn't always work out. If when you wish them to fark you is at the end of their 14 hour shift, you may end up with a stinky, sweaty, zombie who fumbles around and falls asleep snoring right in the middle of the lacklustre action.

I've apologized to my girlfriend several times for this already.

hockeychick: No, whores get paid. She's a slut.

Some poor motherfarker probably had to listen to her talk for a while before she let him stick it in. He paid plenty.

As far as her being self-absorbed, pretentious, whatever-- who among you doesn't have quirks, foibles, or are otherwise perfect and the coolest motherfarkers to be around?

No? Then STFU.

Let's translate that. She expects him to initiate the seks. But anytime he asks about it she says no. So at some point he just says 'fark it' and flogs the bishop to the pron. She at some point asks why he's not interested anymore, and due to douchbagginess due to lack of nookie, he says it's cuz she's fat. Fast forward 18 months, he doesn't notice a difference, she's crying to all her friends about it.

This chick needs to buy a vibrator and STFU.

The problem with women is, they don't really want to "communicate." They want to yap about their problems (none of which are ever their fault) and then have all their friends tell them they did nothing wrong. They just want sympathy. If you don't provide this for them, they have little use for you. Your role as the "friend" is to sit there and listen to them and then tell them how awesome they are.

Men do the same thing, they just don't use as many words. They talk about what a biatch the ex-wife/ex-girlfriend was, conveniently leaving out the parts when they acted like a giant asshole, and then their friends tell them they're better off and now they get to bang all the hot college cheerleaders who will undoubtedly be throwing themselves at the newly available 40-something men, because bitter 40-something men are oh so hot, almost as hot as bitter, 40-something women.

but... but... but... it's not my fault

Agree with some parts -- if women are such great communicators, why don't they understand men? Ah ha!

but really, younger women go out with older guys. see it all the time.

they appreciate someone who is sure of themselves, knows what they want, are confident, and money doesn't hurt.

you don't see the same thing so much with women-- as they get older, they lose their currency

Good God, I'm with far_cue!

I'm getting a kick out of this thread because ... c) she grabbed my wife's boob last year.

It's not that children are the cause of divorce, is that today we tend to put children ahead of the marriage. And that's a surefire way to find yourself single.

This. Many helicopter mommies would flip the fark out at the idea of putting their husband's or their marriage's needs over the snowflake's, but that is absolutely not how I want my marriage to go.

I wonder if she was like this when they got married, or if her self-absorbed bitterness and desire for social approval developed later.

I hope I never become her, but I look at young smiling brides and wonder how they ever become horrid jaded women, and it scares the hell out of me that it could be me someday. How many women start off moderately sane and stay that way? Any?
