HA HA laughs Will.

Then he goes to the office and while there, his secretary is dressed nice, smells nice, and is nice to him.

He asks her out for coffee...

This person is writing, according to the source, in “Oprah” magazine. I think a lot of societal problems are explained by this.

Zot, who *are* these people, and what planet do they come from?

[Righter-than-Rush]

This female sounds like one of the evolutionist, marxist, pro-choice bimbos who thinks people get wiser and wiser with each passing generation. I love to laugh at these people when I meet them in person, especially on a two-hour commuter bus! Some people just don’t think about those around them or how they might insult another’s morals. They are so fuming when I get done with them. Their spiel about feminism lasts about 15 minutes until I debunk feminism. Then they spew about rights, and I debunk her rights to welfare, killing unborn children and when life begins. Finally, half of them start to whimper, and then I back off, only to be pummelled by the onlookers, who saw her first attack me. I bask in the light of one who stands up for what is right. And get a few handshakes when I get off the bus.

I’ll keep my pinky toe if dont mind, it’s very important to me.

I initially enthusiastically agreed with all the comments here ( morning/night person debate aside.)

After I read the article, I decided to cut her a little more slack after I got to the part where he hit her with the car. I know it was an accident, but I can understand her being slow to get over it.

So now I agree slightly less enthusiastically with the comments here. :)

[CodeToad]

Liberals don’t like marriage because they are such foul, nasty, hate-filled vermin that no one likes them. They have to meet in social settings like coffee shops where the odor of coffee outweighs their body odor and there is no commitment past the few hours at the coffee shop.

[trisham]

Oh, how sophisticated, how witty, how modern is this woman!

In her own mind.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Someone might want to tell Ellen that the appendix and tonsils are now considered organs of great use in the human body. For decades Doctors thought they had no use and could be removed at the drop of a hat with no repercussions. But now they know that both organs are an important part of the immunity system.

I think Ellen might find out why marriage is an important part of society when she thinks beyond her own selfish wants.

[Unlikely Hero]

A truly sickening and depressing article.

[Unlikely Hero]

Representative lines:

“No. Your husband is not your best friend. Your best friend is your best friend. If your husband were your best friend, what would that make your best friend — the dog? When a woman tells me that her husband is her best friend, what I hear is: I don’t really have any friends.”

Yeesh. Somebody needs to get laid. And I don’t think her husband wants any part of that.

[Reeses]

He had dropped me off in front of a restaurant, prior to finding a parking spot. As I crossed in front of the car, he pulled forward, happily smiling back over his left shoulder at some random fascinating bit (a sign with an interesting font, a new scaffolding, a diner that he may or may not have eaten at the week after he graduated from college), and plowed into me.

Right, maybe he was checking out a hot 60 year old divorcer. At a minimum his subconscious was trying to run over her. For things like this there are no accidents.

[parsifal]

I think she’s right about not over-idealizing marriage. It is work, and it isn’t always fun. Been there twice. Don’t plan to go back. Not because its work, and not always fun, but because I could never trust that the next wife really understood that concept. The real problem is that both people need to know what they are committing to and prepare to deal with each other on a kind basis. Sadly, I think that is asking for too much anymore.

parsy, who has learned to love kakuro.

Nor is Will the Very Bad Man that I've made him out to be. Rather, like every other male I know, he is merely a Moderately Bad Man

I stopped reading here.

Fotunately, I'll deduce from the comment "because after 16 years of waking up together, he still hasn't quite pieced out that I'm not viable before 10 a.m" ...that this womyn hasn't reproduced. And that's a good thing.

I feel sorry for her husband, unfortunate that he's hated so. And sorry for her as well, to be so consumed with hatred that she can't even see past the minor flaws of her life partner without whining about them.

[andy58-in-nh]

I suffered through the entire piece in a vain search for a scrap of wisdom or insight. All I found were the solipsistic whines of a deeply disturbed and sadly representative urban woman of no discernible substance who nonetheless seems possessed of a sense of entitlement the size and depth of the Grand Canyon.

[JillValentine]

when he buttons his shirt and jacket into the wrong buttonholes, collars and seams unaligned like a vertical game of dominoes

THIS is what she gets annoyed over? If I was married and my husband did that, I'd just laugh, reach over, and fix his buttons. Turn it into a little moment of affection.

[gogeo]

Oh man...

What a window into the feminist mindset. I wonder how many cats she'll own after they divorce?

I wonder at what point her son will become a Bad Man?

Well, I'll give him an "A" for effort, but a "D-" for execution. After he reads this screed, maybe he'll try a bit harder next time.

[Brucifer]

“Maybe one day, marriage — like the human appendix, male nipples, or your pinky toes — will become a vestigial structure....”

Excuse me. I like my nipples; I'm keeping them.
