Hey NMD:

I missed your post.

I think in your post to me - you once said the most important phrase for a man to learn is "yes dear."

That also applies to working women that sometimes socialize with stay at home mothers. There is no higher caling in life than bearing children, staying at home to raise them. I usually said nothing when I ventured out to socialize with the rich housewives in my neighborhood. There was no point - I was the selfish self centered single woman that led a cushy life - as long as I didn't give birth - as far as they were concerned it diminished my value as a woman. And I listened to them bash their inconsiderate H's that went on business trips apparently for the sole purpose of leaving them alone to manage the kids, H's that could not do dishes right or run a dishwasher, answered their cell phones while on vacation, never spent enough time with the kids, and on and on and on... I think I actually spent more time socializing with their pets than the humans there.

I can understand splitting assets acquired during an M. I can understand child support. But alimony - well it is designed as a tribute to stay at home mothers.

You could invent a cure for cancer, patent it and bring in a gagilion dollars in income. Many stay at home mothers believe their contribution to the M trumps anything anyone does or achieves at work and so they are entitled to future payments for "sacrifices" they made by virtue of being M to the man.

I posted earlier why I was so happy this weekend. One of my paragraphs explains that one of the reasons is that I am limiting my social circle to people of my heritage, women that work and male girlfriends. I ventured out and am not as happy - so I am scurrying back to hanging out with like-minded people.

Your W is a very lucky woman. I hope I find someone that thinks like you someday.

Well - I suppose it is appropriate that I go out with a bang as my time on the BB nears its end. I have been censored so many times in the last 5 years that I have lost count. And none of my posts were about sex! LOL!

take care,
AG
