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

No, but it will make an hell of a story for your friends to tell at your wake!

/Leaving for vegas in 4 weeks...,with a big crew of Asians (predominately girls)...See if I can make that happen..then I'll get a kick out of the reply ...but we're staying the Wynn not the Madalay =)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

I'm not in a relationship, nor do I have an active interest in one. That being said, I'm an observer. I watch things, understand trends, see patterns, etc.

From all the conversations I've had, on the internet and in real life, the one overwhelming point of consensus amongst men (as it relates to relationships) tends to be that men cannot, and would be remiss to, trust a woman.

It's not misogyny, not really. It's more that...the more men experience, the more they understand, the more 'data' they have, the more the conclusion becomes, 'Women have a propensity for betrayal'. They don't HATE women, and they certainly entertain the notion of a relationship just the same...but the trust that needs to be there simply ISN'T in quite a few cases.

It would seem an article like this provides quite a bit of empirical evidence to confirm that notion.

Lady, the world is not all about your navel and its need for self-empowerment, and your attempts to excuse your adultery by blaming it on the institution of marriage in general is pathetic.

Oh, and if you waited twenty years to arrange a night once in awhile to go out with your pals, that's your own damned fault. Chances are your hubby would have been thrilled to see your hiney heading out once a week so he could drink his beer and eat his KD in peace and quiet.

My night out is Friday. His night out is Saturday. Been that way since the now twelve year old kiddies were six weeks old. We throw a date night in there a couple of times a month too, even if it's just hitting up Chapters for a coffee, a browse, and a blowjob and grope in the darkest corner of the local supermarket's parking lot.

(Mostly though, we just hole up in the basement with really cheesy B movies and laugh like stink after the kids are sacked.)

what a depressingly self-entitled biatch writing this long article to try and excuse her own ass from the wrong she's committed.

My parents have been married 40 years and never cheated.

Although, I do have to say that in the two instances of long-term un-cheating marriage I know of, the woman is the one who submerged herself to her husband's dreams career-wise as well as taking care of the kids. There's a long-suffering look that's familiar in both those women's faces.

SharkTrager 2009-07-02 07:31:53 PM  
I would like to thank this woman for reminding me why, after my divorce, I have only dated younger women and never get serious with any woman whose close friends include cheaters. I swear those women consistently try to convince their friends to cheat, and have even seen some that seem more dedicated to screwing up friends' relationships than having a good relationship of their own.

Her delivery, style and flowery prose are because she's a "performance artist," and has had bits on NPR stations for years. Currently she can be heard on Science Friday doing "The Loh-down on Science." She alwo wrote "A Year in Van Nuys" in response to "A Year in Provence." Very funny stuff at the time. I've been a fan of hers for years and was irate when she ws fired by my local NPR affiliate, where she had a regular gig about 6-7 years ago.

I couldn't read that article without hearing her voice reading it in my head.

What she didn't know was that after the age of 38, thanks to Mr. Very Settled-Down, she was never going to have regular sex with a man again.

DTMFA.

If a spouse cheats, the other is justified in dumping the cheater.

Maybe people would work harder at staying married if a marriage was to expire after an agreed upon number of years, with option to renew. An otherwise standard pre-nup would cover the usual stuff about money, support, children, etc.

hockeychick: The kids are there to enhance your marriage, not take the place of it.

So if the kids don't enhance the marriage, can you divorce them instead?
