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.

I'd rather enjoy all of my life than have one meaningful moment on my deathbed.

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.

PascalsGhost: wh0mprat: PascalsGhost: 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.

I suffer from a rare form of elitism. I think of anybody whose great grandparents weren't born in this country as immigrants, and I couldn't shame my family by brining home one of 'those people'.

Whereas I'll happily fark a black druze gypsy and brag about it.

If only they would divorce, they farking hate each other Why stay together anymore to put up with each others hatred and abuse? Oh yeah, because they hold a grudge against each other and it is never their fault, they will not admit that anything is they are ever wrong about anything and blame each other for every possible problem.

Oh good lord, I am sorry for you to have to live with that.

I have actually counseled an unhappy friend to divorce her husband. They despised each other, had not had sex for a decade, and constantly fought in front of the kids. I'm sure the "Marriage is a SACRED COMMITMENT OMG Think of the Children" crowd would hurl stones at me, but it's true. My friend and her equally miserable husband had gotten into an ongoing competition to see which one can torment the other more while remaining faithfully married. Thank God they got a divorce before one of them picked up a knife or a packet of poison.


Nope that sounds like a marriage to leave. Our outrage stems more from the BS and self serving attitude in the article here not the thought of divorce itself.

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.

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!

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.

She "contributes" to NPR, and listening to her talk is even more annoying than reading her writing. So don't read it, here's the gist:

Neurotic, self-absorbed people often do reprehensible things like cheat on their spouses, then bore the fark out of everyone else explaining why they did it when everyone knows why people cheat: because they feel like it.

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.

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 PoolboyTM 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...
