she sounds like a truly miserable person.
There will always be a new crop, that wants to tie the knot with their one true love. Having been through one divorce myself, I'm very glad I took another dive into the marriage pool. The second time around was a winner.
After 30 rollicking years with a strapping Minnesota farmer, I can tell you that this poor person with the spoofy nom de plume needs to get out more often. Go find someplace that isn't paved, kiddo. Find a place where the sun really shines and there is real grass and dirt, and get a LIFE.
What a sad commentary on life.
I've been married 22 years, and I'm pretty sure my wife and I don't hate each other any more than we did when we were newlyweds.
Marriage is pretty simple. Once you realise you are stuck and simply HAVE to make it work, the rest is all downhill.
Of course, it's easy for me to say, because my wife doesn't beat me.
Not a very nice article.
Holy heck! This has got to be just about the most bitter article I have ever read on any subject. I was going to say 'you forgot the barf alert', but forget it, it would never suffice.
I feel sorry for the poor kid, and btw, GREAT POST!
Its little wonder the author is divorced. It is quite clear that she never had a clue what a marriage was to begin with. If you don't start with a true sacramental marriage, your chances suffer. If you start with the meaningless parody she started with, you are doomed.

Uh, because us crowds are romantically in love, for many years and are mature enough to overcome a few minor disappointments?
What ails this dingbat?
"You know, I can't believe all these stories I read in the newspapers here about people getting divorced all the time in this country. That's just incomprehensible; I mean, there must not be any morality in this country at all. Why, I've been married 57 times, and I've never been divorced..."
Marriage, like democracy, is not for wimps!
After crawling halfway through the editorial, sinking deeper and deeper into her cynical wading-pool of cow crap, I'm just going to call her a miserable, self-absorbed, over-thinking b!tch.
She seems like that kind of woman who wants to hyper-talk every aspect of her emotional life in hushed, serious tones. Like anyone can give a rat's a$$ every minute they're within reach of the melodramatic vomit that gushes out of her mouth.
I guarantee that almost no one on the planet can stand being friends with her.
I despise this type of woman...much the same way I despise guys who can't help but hit on, or cat call, every chick they find the least bit attractive.
It's the same over-indulgence mental sickness that manifests itself differently in each of the sexes.
Speak for yourself sweetie. You can stay single and bitter. One wonders if that's why your man dumped your bitter self.
I may be wrong here, but tell me this isn't a new literary form: drunken bitter chick. You known the type, they sit down next to you in a bar (or sometimes a cross country flight) and the next thing you know, you're being treated to in-depth descriptions of every indignity or slight that she's ever sustained.
Good heavens. I hope the newspaper pays for her upcoming years of therapy. Or maybe they should just lock her up and be done with it.
Marriage isn't a piece of cake, but if both people have the ongoing commitment, there's no reason it can't work. We've been married about 15 years now, lived through hellish circumstances for part of that, and although things were rough a year or two ago, I'd say that now, in a way, we're closer than we've ever been.
It's not the blazing passion of being newly married, but a better, settled, warm, confident, deep affection that comes from having lived through hell together and decided that if you have to go through hell -- or heaven -- well, there's no one on earth you'd have by your side.
This chick ought to go marry Modo....then they can be miserable together but at least they would have someone that the other would sleep with.
It is no wonder why the author of this article is divorced.
My wife and I have had our rough spots, but we realize we are pals, best friends, determined to make the best for us and our little corner of the world. We are bound together by the love of cats, knowledge, books, and truth, and we are bound together by a common hate of people such as the Clintons and their coterie of liars, apologists and criminal obstructionists, plus the unprincipled, condescending, lying crooks in the lamestream media and the left wing political machine.
I highly recommend hating the same people and groups as a solid foundation of marriage. Try it, you'll love it!
What does she mean "We"? Does she have a tapeworm?
