Time for a brief rant that I dare not say to W...

My three-year-old happened to mention how OM would spit brown stuff into a cup. When I went "What?", my oldest confirmed that OM chews tobacco.

Out-freaking-standing.

During the early stages of her MLC, W went on a health kick - dropped 70 lbs., worked out like a maniac, nothing but healthy food in the house, and demanded I tag along on her health regimen. It worked for me - I'm down to my college weight, but in much better shape than I was in college (not treating your body like a bowling alley helps). So... I'm slim, trim, eatin' healthy... and she leaves me for:

a 30-year-old guy who is:
- overweight and eats constantly
- a chain smoker
- a frequently relapsing alcoholic who goes AWOL on his benders (as recently as... this past freaking weekend!!!!!)
- a needy, Type A personality and wound really tightly
- isn't "into" kids... and doesn't even want to pretend that he is

and, he CHEWS FREAKING TOBACCO.

Honestly, I expect to find out that his hobby is burying kittens up to their necks and riding over them with a lawn mower.

I don't get it.

End of rant.
