Matthew at Creative Minority Report tells us about women who are seeking "started husbands" that they can divorce easily when the "real thing" comes around.
Here's the worst paragraph in a really terrible piece.
Within months of promising to love and honor and cherish Tucker forever, she knew she had made a huge mistake. The problem? He was boring. "Wholly uncomplicated," as she puts it. The kind of guy who reads Tom Clancy books on the couch and watches Adam Sandler movies while dreaming of white-picket fences. Going to depressing French movies, leapfrogging over the less ambitious on the company ladder — those were the things that excited Andi. "The idea of spending my life with someone like that seemed stifling," she says. "It finally just got to me that he was so . . . sunny."
I hoist my drink in that you-go-girl kind of way, but I'm struck by her casual disregard for the institution. Marriage used to be a big deal.
LOL!!! He was "boring". That usually means he was predictable, faithful, and content in his marriage. So she'll divorce him and find a guy more exciting. One who cheats on her, abuses her emotionally and possibly physically and treats her like a sex toy. Wow, that's a trade up if I ever heard it.
She'll have pain... emotional, spiritual and possibly physical. Her life will be an emotional roller coaster, but she definitely won't be bored.
Warning to guys... This is what you get when you date an emotion junkie.
