Or you have to give up the wife. I’ve been single all my life but for the 6 months I tried out marriage. Holy fuck did I marry an asshole? (I married my mom - same bitchy personality. ) The woman bitched from morning to night and thought I would stand for being insulted. She got joy out of slinging insults at me in public places. "I don’t argue in public and never have. In my world, it is one of the most low-class, under educated, apelike behaviors I can participate in. I’m okay with walking away from the situation.
6 mo. later I was annulled by mutual agreement. I never did it again, although thinking back, there were a couple of very nice people I probably would have been very happy with. ‘Probably?’ Well, damn! I know I am happy by myself. I sleep when I want, eat when I want, eat what I want, stay out late, play poker, go anywhere I want, do anyone I want, and have a wonderful grasp of the fact that life, friendships, and the world are always in a state of change.
Have the wife pray to her god for the strength to deal with the cat. (I’ll bet it doesn’t work.)
