A few years ago, my husband, Mark, and I were at one of those hip downtown restaurants sipping mojitos and nibbling on lime-spiked seviche when one of my bosses appeared from a cloud of Cuban-cigar smoke and patted my shoulder. When I introduced him to Mark, he naturally asked what he did for a living. We both froze.
"I do some freelancing," Mark said.
"He studied film at NYU," I said at the same time.
Mark looked at me and shrugged. "I stay home with our daughter," he said, as my colleague quietly balked.
"He makes it possible for me to do my job," I said, laughing. But inside, I was mortified. Technically, I had it all back then, including a gorgeous toddler and a cool job.

Good point.
NYC is the fairest city in the world. If you’ve got talent, brains, ambition and a little luck, then the city showers you with riches, glory etc. If you lack any of those, then even your wife will kick you to the curb.
Really if your an atractive successful man in todays society you have no need to get married. UT brings in a new group of singles 2 times a year. The 2 girls I’m dating now are younger by 8-10 years which is perfect for me; their not looking to settle down their into upscale parties, trendy nightclubs, and Devil’s cove on Lake Travis which by a crazy coincidence are my intrests too. People always ask me why i won’t settle down, and then they meet my girls and know right off the bat the reason “why buy the cow when you get the milk free”. I learned that at 30 your “stable” and the younger ones just fall all over themselves for you. I would not give a woman like the one from this article the time of day. The kid from another man is a total deal breaker right from the get go. Why raise someone elses problem. Men stop being so dang metro stand up for yourselves girls like men who behave like men at least good southern Texas girls like real men not to sure about up north as i refuse to live in any yankee hellhole.
It is truly disgusting!

Even non feminists don’t like the “submission” bit. For crying out loud “submission” is not something I believe belongs in marriage.
Sounds like they deserved each other. Yeeech.
“The Bacardi company is working very hard to make this drink common because Rum and Coke has become so passe.”
- It’s become the most popular mixed drink in bars throughout the Caribbean mainly because the crushed mint gives the drink a cool tartness that is more refreshing than a sugar filled rum and coke.
Exactly! Parents united can and will make the difference. It takes effort, energy, and consitency, and is well worth the end result. That being, young adults who can think logically for themselves, with the ability to make informed decisions, not being swayed by popular opinion. Good job!
We have a winner! And the assault on the family is an attack on the image of the Trinity.
No, my dear, it makes you an egoist: shallow, self-centered, and vain, with no concern for others.
I wonder as well why he does not have custody. One of the statutory factors in every states “best interest of the child” standard is consideration for the one who nurtures over the one who provides.

30 going-on 12, huh??
Sorry — the Penthouse Letters office is two doors to the left and down the stairs....
Oh man. That's the cherry on the turd.
Oddly, the girls don’t seem to care much about grammar.
They've already done it to themselves.
“She has a kid with a loser husband (film school? Give me a break!) and then ditches him.”
Guess he didn’t turn out to be the “next Spielberg.”
Mojito: A blood-sucking insect high on feminist fumes. ;-P
