You know the old saying, even a clock that is broken is correct twice a day.
Boy, she sounds like a keeper.
You’re the exwife and now you have a wuzband...
One of my friends has/had a wife that si very much like this “B*tch”...
Especially when it came to her and her parents, specifically her mom... It was like she was married to her mom and not her husband.
Her mom invited herself to all their vacations....
No boundaries at all when it came to her mother, all sorts of boundaries were demanded when it came to HIS family....
My ex-father-in-law and ex-Mother-in-Law call me EVERY YEAR on my birthday. You cannot be more validated than that!
Old Joke: Why do divorces cost so much?
Because they’re worth it!
I know a few women who could have (or should have) written this.
I’ve garnered, ‘Wife’ status a time or two. I’m much preferring my current status of, ‘Independently Owned and Operated.’ :)
Where is my crazy vs hot chart?
I talked smack to my girlfriends, my mom, my co-workers. All. The. Time. “Can you believe he didn’t do this?” and “Why in God’s name did he do THAT?”
I used to meet my ex wife’s co workers, and they would usually look at me like “Gee, you don’t look like a one eyed monster!”. She walked, after 19 years of marriage. I gave her a year to come back, unconditionally, but she did not. The only small measure of comfort I got, was after three years, she told me it was the biggest mistake, of her life. Unfortunately, I stopped looking out the rear view mirror, 18 months earlier, and it was for naught :(
She didn’t mention how he had asked her to go back to work considering she spent 6 hours a day watching TV, pouring her first whisky and water around noon (sometimes 10a) and frustrated by the lack of cleanliness evident in the corners of the home.
Her despicable behavior does not excuse his. He ceded whatever moral high ground he might have claimed.
The Ex bears some blame for not calling her out on her behavior and letting her know it won’t stand.
But I am AMAZED this showed up in the HuffPo!
One of the things I teach my kids is to not, under any circumstances tolerate constant criticism. Either the partner handles it subtly or they need to be traded in and replaced. If they can't or don't stop, it's a horrific sign of misery to come. You can't have a relationship where one partner doesn't respect the other.
At the same time I've had to explain, there are simply some people who cannot relate to others outside of an actual conflict, especially if that's what they saw and experienced with their parents while growing up. My advice when they identify that scenario is "RUN..."
Stuff like this makes me think maybe I'd better keep flying solo.
Did Kate Gosselin write that piece?
I despise supporting HuffPo.
Don't worry, anyone. HuffPo still continues to be a filled cesspool.
Mens Rules
We always hear “the rules” from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note... these are all numbered “1” ON PURPOSE!
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us bitching about you leaving it down.
1. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again!
1. Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.
1. Sunday = sports. It’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Don’t cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you’re stuck with her.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. We don’t remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand.
1. Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think we’d be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that last for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
1. Check your oil! Please.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
1. If you won’t dress like the Victoria’s Secret girls, don’t expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us. We refuse to answer.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
1. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it’s genetic.
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.
1. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your girlfriends.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing,” we will act like nothing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer you don’t want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.
1. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it’s Bruce Lee or some war flick where it doesn’t really matter what the hell they’re saying anyway.)
1. It is neither in your best interest or ours to take the quiz together. No, it doesn’t matter which quiz.
1. BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.
1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know we really don’t mind that, it’s like camping.
1. I’m in shape. ROUND is a shape.
WOW.... This is my brother’s marriage....
