Sounds like a great life...essentially a life of just existing, not living.

Yet another “men suck at marriage” article written by a woman. So surprising…not.

The next article in the series

They interviewed four women and two gay guys.
Not one straight male.
Tells you everything who their target audience is.

Who wouldn't want to live life to the fullest in the awesome and amazing year of 2026?

"Ridin' through this world
All alone
God takes your soul
You're on your own
The crow flies straight
A perfect line
On the devil's path
Until you die
This life is short
Baby that's a fact
Better live it right
You ain't comin' back
Gotta raise some hell
Before they take you down
Gotta live this life
Gotta look this world
In the eye"

These words remain just as true today, as when Curtis Stigger first sang them back in '08, a time when our economic situation(The Great Recession had begun)was WORSE in most respects than it is today

Quote the article: "My mother is a loud woman. She loves to tell jokes and wears the kind of statement jewelry you can spot from a block away. But during the 25 tumultuous years she was married to my father, she often kept her mouth shut — literally. “I didn’t speak to him for an entire year when you were kids,” she told me once, shaking her head. “One day, he finally asked me, ‘Is there a problem?’”
Clearly, there were lots of problems. Growing up, I watched as my mother detached more and more from my father, emotionally and physically. She stopped watching movies with him. She slept in the guest room. She glared at the back of his head from her place at the stove. “Did I make the right decision? In retrospect, no,” she says now. “I didn’t have options like women do today. At the time, it felt like that was all I could do.”

She could've

-Stopped telling jokes

-Sat down with the hubs,

-Articulated her needs and desires to the man who(Whatever his flaws)was providing her with a warm house in the suburbs, frequently paying for the chow she was cooking on the stove, regulary supplying her with new bras and underwear, etc etc

The trite saw of "It was a different time, she had no choice" doesn't hold up here either... The article indicates these were folks living in the later 20th Century, which means she was privy to the wisdom of Jim Morrison

Chances are high that dude simply wasn't aware that the missus was perturbed, that whatever she was bent out of shape over was something fairly simple to remedy, and that he'dve gladly obliged her. Then as now, chicks expect us to communicate just as indirectly as they do
