"“Craig is going to do yoga although he doesn’t know it,” said Whelpley with a fixed smile. “He will if we’re going to continue with this relationship.”

And you thought your girl was a control freak.
She may not be flexible when it comes to Craig doing yoga, but you can bet your ass she’s plenty flexible in other ways… and really, for a middle aged paunchy geek, a woman who can put her feet behind her head can do no wrong.
Not saying he deserves to get pushed around like that, but unfortunately, I’ve seen way too many guys fall all over themselves to please an overbearing girlfriend (or wife) because they just don’t believe they can do better.

Judging from the comments on that page, I bet she gets copies from all her friends telling her to think before talking to the press.
She’s already on the way out the door. She just doesn’t know it yet.
(Between this and last month’s Wired, it’s an eventful month for Craig.)
What happened in last month’s Wired?
Wired put Craig/Craigslist on the cover and, IIRC, said that CL became so popular because it was simple, free (very important), and I can’t think of a third thing.
It also said that Craig was kind of odd, and that CL was unresponsive to the user and uninterested in improvements to the point of blocking mashups that other people had created, on claims that it used their servers too much. Overall, neither came off all that well.
But where would he post such an ad? If only there were some kind of Web site where people could search for committed relationships and/or flings.
Her shit would be on the sidewalk by the time Domino’s showed up with my MeatZZa Feast.
Actually I liked him even more at the end of the article. I can’t say why.
And yes, that woman sounds like a bitch. Last minute rules in a relationship are a no-no. If he wasn’t doing yoga when they met then she should just take it and shut up.
It would be like me demanding my husband takes on sewing, or knitting. Or him demanding I learn golf. It would not end well.
If he did yoga too, then she couldn’t show off to him how she can touch her toes to her nose (or do other things requiring the flexibility one gets from yoga) and he can’t. It’s fun to show off like that.
I suspect something is about to fall off a very tall and expensive pedestal and end up as bargain basement ebay buy before very long…
Circa 1999.
Woman who works at the same company as I do (did) is chatting up the woman who sits two cubes down from me. Her husband is currently in France on a 3 month business trip. She hates guns, she hates hunting. He has many guns, he loves hunting. She’s conspiring to sell off all his guns while he’s gone, then when he returns, tell him that they’re gone and he’ll never own another gun as long as he’s married to her.
I tell her she’s nuts and that if she did that to me, I wouldn’t even bother unpacking. Straight to Divorce. She blows me off. Her husband loves her too much for that. Immediate co-worker later lectures me, telling me I should have been supportive. :rolleyes:
Flash forward two months.
Bitch is crying in co-worker’s cube. Husband got home from the trip the night before. Immediately noticed that his extensive gun and hunting gear collection was missing. She pulled the ultimatum card on him. He didn’t even bother unpacking, turned around and went straight to a hotel. She got the divorce papers couriered to her desk before 10am the next morning.
OH SOB! BOOO HOOO! I THOUGHT HE LOVED ME.
No, you stupid bitch, you didn’t love him. You didn’t respect him. You pulled shit behind his back, sold off his property, then gave him an ultimatum. YOU DIDN’T LOVE OR RESPECT HIM.
Bitch ran off crying.
Co-worker attempted to lecture me about being “supportive” again. :rolleyes:
The answer to “If you loved me, you’d do X”?
“If you respected ME, you wouldn’t be pulling this shit.”
