"Office of Advocacy funded data and research shows that small businesses represent 99.7 percent of all firms, they create more than half of the private non-farm gross domestic product, and they create 60 to 80 percent of the net new jobs."
As for marriage we know that the children of broken homes are far more likely to end up in prison with broken lives and a compromised future. The cost foisted on society by those who do not marry is larger than the cost of tobacco use, the cost of obesity, the cost of so many things that many in this country see essential to combat for the public good. Married women are much less likely to be abused, contract stds, and have a generally longer lifespan. Marriage is not antiquated it is absolutely essential and much like the creation of small businesses if marriage ceases to exist so does our culture and most likely our civilization. While women with careers like this selfish woman may be ok getting divorce at the age of 40 something it is the young woman and men in their 20s that will suffer the consequences of the generalizing of personal failure to the masses.
Most liberal women don't.
What a scummy, narcissistic b%#ch.
I agree. This was an obnoxious article. Total self-absorption.
After about her third metaphor, I’d divorce her as well...
What’s wrong with this picture?
Shamans
Alcohol
Fantasy life
The wine in itself might be O.K. (or not) but the combination turned out deadly.
Sandra, honey, you and your “friends” are a mess. I don’t know which I have more of for you—pity or disdain.
Typical feminazi. Between her "thinking" and her looks, no wonder her husband stayed away half the year.
And somewhere, her ex husband had the best night’s sleep he has had in 20 years. The promise of the sweet release of divorce now at least releases him from a life with this women, and opens the possibility that he can find a good woman to be with.
That's your problem, right there.
I had an entirely manageable life and planned to go to my grave taking with me, as I do most nights to my bed, a glass of merlot and a good book.Sandra Tsing Loh is a pretentious nut-case.
'Cataclysmically'IMO her husband should act like he just won the Mega-Ball Lottery as right now he's the luckiest guy alive. Her "I dont generally even enjoy men", kind of explains it all.
'bewailed'
'our shaman, mother, or priest'
'a gravestone sunk down'
'my fellow transgressor'
'knit our familys domestic construct back together'
'womens-magazine parlance'
It's no wonder she needed a 'longtime family therapist'. No real person talks like that. She's a barking Moonbat.
“I don’t know why people who fail feel this need to generalize their failure to others. Just because they fail suddenly means the foundations of the world must be changed to make it all right. This degree of selfish narcissism is horrible...”
That is a magnificent summation of the essence of liberal thought and emotion.........
Thank you!
In womens-magazine parlance, I did not have the strength to work on falling in love again in my marriage.
Thank god my mother was to busy as a homemaker, who put her kids happiness first, to read the latest women’s magazine. I guess she just didn’t realize how miserable she really was.
Mom and Pop have been togeter 55 years.
Go figure. Gays are arguing to get married, and heteros like this are saying that marriage is an obsolete concept.
I saw this crap article before hitting FR this morning.
You've hit the nail on the head.
And as this woman in old age probably dies alone with no one there who loved her she can wallow in her own pity as her last thoughts.
AWOL from this self-absorbed woman’s story - discussion of faith, religion, church.
I attended the third wedding reception of my nephew and his bride last night. They had one in Florida where they got married, another one in Arkansas where her family and many friends reside, and last night’s in Texas where he is from and where they live.
He met her in church, not at work or in a bar. They had considerable couseling by their minister before they tied the knot so they would know what to expect of themselves and each other in the marriage. And more importantly to learn what God expects of them.
I’m pretty sure they will have a great life together. My nephew was raised in a home where faith was a part of his everyday life. My sister is an Anglican and my b-i-l is a Catholic. Their three kids were raised Anglican, but with a healthy respect for their father’s Catholic beliefs. The family says grace before every meal, even if they are dining out in a restaurant. All three kids are now happily married, and the two older girls have children of their own.
Most of the people I have observed who put the Lord first in their lives and trust in Him have very few, if any, of the problems I read about in such garbage as this article.
