Married to a son of a bitch…
There are some husbands that are grateful for the things that their wives do. My husband is not one of those. He is the sort that comes home and bitches that his dinner is too hot, because he seems unaware that his alternative is to not have dinner…either hot or cold… waiting for him on the table.

A Cautionary Tale…
I can’t seem to prevent my own demise, confined to this marriage as I seem to be… just days after my to-be-ex-husband was handed his half of the divorce papers, he asked me to give him a chance, and he said he didn’t want me to go, and that he wanted me to go to marriage counseling with him.

I can only assume, due to her overall tone, that she must be the parent of small children and is NOT in a blended family.
