Somehow, I think we'll adjust without you...

In August, I went on six dates in one week. I had decided that I was ready to look for a partner. Enough of this dating unavailable men a half-decade younger than me. They’d never seriously consider a relationship with me, my two children and our needy dog. No. I wanted to find an equal. A man who wouldn’t feel the need to step in and rescue me. I didn’t need rescuing.
...two weeks later, the election happened. Once it was clear that Donald Trump would be president instead of Hillary Clinton, I felt sick to my stomach. I wanted to gather my children in bed with me and cling to them like we would if thunder and lightning were raging outside, with winds high enough that they power might go out. The world felt that precarious to me.
My oldest came out of her room the next morning to show me the money the Tooth Fairy had left her. She’d unexpectedly had to have a tooth pulled, and so bravely went through it that I said, “Just think: You’ll always remember the day you got a tooth pulled with the day we elected our first female president.”
When I told her Trump had won, she protested: “But Mom. You said Hillary was going to win.”
I’ve lost the desire to attempt the courtship phase. The future is uncertain. I am not the optimistic person I was on the morning of Nov. 8, wearing a T-shirt with “Nasty Woman” written inside a red heart. It makes me want to cry thinking of that. Of seeing my oldest in the shirt I bought her in Washington, D.C., that says “Future President.”

The author has also argued young girls should be given vibrators at an early age so they can explore their sexuality and learn what really good sex is like before dating.
If she had 6 dates in a week, I’m betting 5 of them were mechanical.
Winning in unexpected ways...Trump, you magnificent PawPaw!
And she wonders why she is single.
Oh, I dunno. Pajama Boy would probably love to have a 2nd mother to nag him incessantly.
“felt sick to my stomach. I wanted to gather my children in bed with me and cling to them like we would if thunder and lightning were raging outside, with winds high enough that they power might go out. The world felt that precarious to me”
This her?
This is the kind of story that I think I wouldn’t mention to anyone or admit in public. To put this in WaPo...it really hangs your personality and character in some public place. The lady needs to find some month-long rehab-like facility....go in and chill out....realizing that life goes on.
If this doesn’t get to her, then think about the obvious....her bank, her grocery, her drug store, etc....are probably not run by women CEO’s either. Her garage, her car company, her cable company....same.
Life is pretty intense and you need skills to survive. She’s lacking.
“I wanted to gather my children in bed with me and cling to them like we would if thunder and lightning were raging outside, with winds high enough that they power might go out.”
This, from the “strong woman” who claims she doesn’t need rescuing.
So many ways to have fun with this. Let's go with the fact that Trump's presidency will actually reduce the cost of your birth control.If Trump over the next 8 years leads to a decrease in mindless leftist children, can I place him up for about 4 Nobel prizes?
Wait, is this a repost from "the Onion" ?
I mean, fake news IS all the rage these days.
Well, it is the reason why this one is still single and probably will be for the rest of her life
I read an article on Drudge that states that the average young person dates 6 people at a time
no wonder they don’t get married, too many choices and options are always open
Libtardism causes people to be helpless, incompetent, and unable to cope.

On the 7th day, she rested, to let everything ....... cool down?
Somehow, I think we'll adjust without you...
Yep, I shaved my legs, and took a bath. I had those two infected molars extracted, which cost me a lot of money. I even cleaned the dirt from under my fingernails.
I am ready for a new partner.
I'm guessing that she's just using Trump's victory as an excuse...
Wow...she sounds like such a catch.
Translation of the article: I am going nowhere fast in the relationship/dating department, so I will quit trying and blame it on the election of Donald Trump.
I’m totally surprised THIS lined up two dates at near the same time.
