Your post reminds me of a several folks I know. One stay-at-home college graduate delivered her second child and within months her husband was busy keeping himself happy with an employee. Shoot, now that I think about it, he may have been carousing around while his trophy was pregnant. Problem arose, so to speak, when employee/exemployee became preggers herself. I wonder if The Other Woman wishes she were a stay-at-home Mom nowadays, enjoying watching her children grow up.
After writing the above, it became clear why so many women are single. They either thought they had the perfect man and married him, only to find out later that he's not so perfect. Or they thought they had the perfect man who would divorce the stupid, stay-at-home ditz and marry the brainy, liberated Woman.
It is a sad state this world is in. And the next President of the United States will be . . .
Now...that's not your friend...that's the plot from that movie City Slickers ;-)
