I’ve been married three times and have never had a stereotypical “bad mother-in-law”. All three of these ladies are/were stellar individuals whom I’ve learned a lot from.
I’ve never been hit on. I sometimes see women on the boards complaining about guys flirting with them when they’re just trying to go about their day. Never once been a problem for me. Which I suppose is good, but still …
I’ve also never had a meal or movie disrupted by noisy kids.
That reminds me. My mother was divorced four times (ages 1, 3, 7 and 23, respectively) and not one of those divorces was particularly devastating for me. I never understood the ‘‘divorce is soooo bad for children’’ thing.
Until my husband’s parents divorced. Jesus Christ, they dragged that shit out for 6 years. That’s when I realized divorce can make normal, rational people go absolutely fucking insane, and that really screws up the children. Incidentally, the experience has made me strongly dislike my mother-in-law.
My wedding ring has never acted as an irresistible babe magnet. Not that I care since I already have a babe at home but for as many times as I’ve heard “Man, once those chicks see that ring they think it’s a challenge or something”, I think the batteries in mine must be low.
I have never had a bonus or Christmas/Holiday gift from any employer. Just before I typed this, our corporate overlords announced that anyone who takes no leave time in August gets $100 cash. Hmmm, would that count as a bonus?
Me too, though I have never been trapped outside in my underwear or won a large sum in the lotto. I have been cheated on and I have had more bizarre one in a million experiences than most people I know.
I once moved 1500 miles to get away from a stalker freak ex, and my new next door neighbor turned out to be a stalker freak murderer. What are the effing odds?
I’ve never had a women walk up to me and off head, although I have had a women just go down on me without warning. A little bit stranger. Oh, and a guy too, twice, different guys.
