I especially take exception at the comment by the twenty-eight-year-old Ms. Levy. As I am 33, married (12 years) have two children and the only time I feel trapped is when I have to watch live events on CNN Intl' and pray they don't open their mouths.

And I am 33, never married, with no kids, and I definately wish that I was married and had the kids. The only problem is that the vast majority of the young women today are just like Ms. Levy...

(Case in point: My brother had his fiancee of two years break up with him about six months before the planned wedding. He treated her like a queen, but she made up her mind and dumped him in the course of a weekend. No discussion, no warning, nothing. The reason? She didn't feel like she had "lived enough" yet to get married. It devestated him, but by now we both know he is much better off without such a shallow, confused b***h...)

Your brother is much better off, as painful as that was for him. And you'll find your lady and make that beautiful family. The good ones are worth waiting for.

Huh... That's exactly what my (1st) wife did to me. Same thing, same words.

From what I've seen, these types are the rule rather than the exception.

I'll only get married again if the father pays me a dowry to take the selfish, uncontrolled creature out of his house and agrees to kill her 'for family honor' if she leaves me for such a stupid reason. (yes, I'm kinda kidding, but I see why such things exist.)
