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.

LindyJohn: 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.

I know my people.

nopokerface: PJ_the_Barbarian: It's not her int that's the problem, it's wis.

Her cha ain't that great either.

/or was it chr?

It's cha.

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.

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.

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.

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.

lawls. I didn't mean to suggest you stole it, just that I'd seen it before.

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.

I couldn't read the whole article. All I kept seeing whas WHARGARRBLARBLBLARBLL. Except WHARGARRBL was going through menopause.

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.

Alleyoop: Articulate slut, I'll give her that much

Articulate my arse. Verbose maybe.

nopokerface: d-fens99: Here's a pic of Sandra Tsing Loh, as determined by the gooogles.

Make your own decisions about it, boyos.

That dude is ugly.

That made me LOL so hard I scared my nursing baby and my already-hurting back is now killing me. One internet will be mailed to an address of your choosing.

PJ_the_Barbarian: lawls. I didn't mean to suggest you stole it, just that I'd seen it before.

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.



Those guys are better off without those biatches.

I highly suspect 'Ian' is gay.

She just goes on and on and on. Never did get to whatever point she was trying to make.


Did she ever make a point?

you bring the guns, I'll bring the butter.

Playerslight: 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.


THIS.

Shrew2u: That made me LOL so hard I scared my nursing baby and my already-hurting back is now killing me. One internet will be mailed to an address of your choosing.

Sorry for causing you discomfort;)

She's probably fat.

tricycleracer: "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."

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...

Soymilk: FTA: "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."

Ouch.

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.

NNTAWTT

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

tetsoushima: and maybe even run the Kentucky Derby.

I thought I was, by now, immune to all SJP horse jokes. And yet here you blindside me with one so sneaky that I coughed, snorted and farted simultaneously.

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

Freedom?

Remember, guys: no matter how hot they are now, they all become like this eventually, and it will be your fault for not predicting and accepting their sudden lunacy and selfishness.

/yeah, still single

BadMother: men's fennel club

Yea, am I the only one who wants to know what that is?

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.

Schagnasty: She's probably fat.

Two pictures in the thread already, ace. She's not fat.

FTA: Do you see? Given my staggering working mother's to-do list, I cannot take on yet another arduous home- and self-improvement project, that of rekindling our romance.

I hope you die alone, you selfish coontbag.

How the fark many times did that self-absorbed, clueless cow use the word "I" in that article? At least 50 times too much, or thereabouts.

DarnoKonrad: ActionJoe

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.

d-fens99: Here's a pic of Sandra Tsing Loha self absorbed, self justifying failure as a mother, wife and adult, as determined by the gooogles.



FIFY.

the author needs to grow the fark up.

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.

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.

WHARGGARRBLEPAUSE?

That time of the month eh?
