Dumbest thing I ever did was get married.

Fortunately, I bailed when he stopped bathing routinely (he would put on a fresh shirt and a 3-piece suit and go into work days past soap and water)and started taking vacations with men.

I don't have to worry about STDs.
If I have car trouble, AAA WILL show up, unlike my ex.
I won't make the unpleasant discovery of my ex running up a huge debt--with nothing to show for it.
I can buy manual transmission cars, which I can drive and much prefer, and he could never quite learn how to handle.

If I found some (available) paragon of character, conservative political persuasion, with basic sense, who wasn't afraid of working hard and getting his hands dirty (is there anything sillier than an adult man reluctant to dig a hole to plant a tomato?)I might consider them...but the truth is, I haven't come across this kind of guy available or otherwise (I would never mess with another woman's man, but I can wonder why ANY woman would want some of these guys).

Being single ain't so bad. Being with the Wrong Person poisons every aspect of living. I was never so alone as the 10 years when I was married.

Interesting post, as tough as it was, it doesn’t strike me as man bashing, just bashing that weirdo that you married.

I’m a guy and have seen guys like that one, I hope you find some guy, and I hope that you are exposed to the blue collar world, because mixed in with the common joes and bad guys among those who work with their hands, are a few gems, a good mixture of manliness, intelligence, decency, self knowledge, worship of womanhood and so on.
