had wanted, I thought, soapstone counters and a farmhouse sink. I had wanted an island and a breakfast nook and two narrow, vertical cabinets on either side of the stove; one could be for cutting boards and one could be for baking sheets. I followed a cabinetry company called Plain English on Instagram and screenshotted its pantries, which came in paint colors like Kipper and Boiled Egg. Plain English cost a fortune, but around a corner in the back of its New York showroom you could check out the budget version, called British Standard. But it cost a fortune too. I wished there was a budget British Standard. I wished there was a room behind that room, the cabinets getting flimsier and flimsier until a door opened and let me back into my own shitty American kitchen, just as it was.
My husband talked to the architect; my husband talked to the builder. And I kept paring the plans down, down, making them cheaper, making them simpler. I nixed the island and found a stainless-steel worktable at a restaurant-supply store online for $299. I started fantasizing about replacing the counters with two-by-fours on sawhorses and hanging the pots from nails on the wall. Slowly, I realized, I didn’t want this kitchen. Slowly, I realized, I didn’t want this life.
I didn’t want to renovate. I wanted to get divorced.

What a revolting wallow in self-adoration, damn the consequences. Those poor children. I even feel sorry for the idiot who married her.
This article needs a “gut-wrenching projectile barf alert.”
Can anyone think of a special name for a “prog-lib female warning”?
Definitely her weird rant. Those poor kids.
A younger friend of mine is going through this now, an admirable guy who was so naïvely and head-over-heels in love with a shameless, faithless grifter. In fact, it has happened to the 25-to-40ish sons of several of my friends. Feminism has wrecked this country worse than slavery ever did.
The whole damn face. See post 84.
Uh, that ship has sailed. See photos just above.
The title implies that she does have some regrets, but I guess you have to read the whole article to figure out what she’s saying.
This reminds me of the plot of the movie “Hellraiser.” People spending their lives searching the world for the most perverse perversions they can find. When hell came for them they found it. Having their flesh torn off their body was the first step.
Looks like a man.
I have this theory that girls who play too much sports get man I zed
Looks like a tranny I once employed. About as ugly as he/she/it was.
Yes. I know a guy who had a wife and 4 kids. He had a great job as a consultant and could make his own hours. He was deeply loved.
He was a closet alcoholic and left his family for the bottle. Found a night security job paid his wife 680 per month child support. Took years for them to fully break up.
Ruined the family and hurt the kids deeply.
Yeah she really made out.
My son is 25 and there are no eligible women who want to marry and have a family.
He would be better off with a Muslim girl

Heavens, no.

“and if you’re an empath, they can spot you across a crowded footfall stadium.
...that is all”
LOL (kinda)
Whoa. Neigh.

and she knows exactly who she is. She treats me like the king I am, and I treat her like the queen she is. Real simple.
