when the levy breaks

Unfortunately, i am the type of person who sees the train coming but still wonders what will happen when it runs into me, no matter how many times i have been run over.

i cannot tell if the indifference is motivated by indecision, or the fact that i know the answer but want the other person to decide for me.

When my wife told me to leave the house last night, i felt as though it was more of the latter. i know that i care for her very much - she is my soul mate- but i am somewhat relieved to be free of the pendulum that is her love hovering above me.

i am tired of not being cared for as a spouse and seeing other passions replace me.... and i am just as upset at having to leave my girls and not see them everyday.

Still, as i lay in a broken bed in a low end motel in town, i had only one thought: i am so sorry that i am such an asshole.

By Jove - what do we have here? It is the most common species Assholis Marriedmanus. Probably in his early 40s, a typical exmaple. Lusting after a younger female, using a wife's minor infraction to justify his leap into infidelity. Only to discover, he was a mere temporary distraction - the female of the species is notoriously fickle by nature, sadly for Assholis Marriedmanus...Silly, silly primate, no bananas for you.

Oh dear professor! I must correct you. His emotional affair occurred only one place: in his head. It was clearly a fantasy! Exhibit A: He thought her intelligent! That insults me, a smart woman, who knows the very simple yet distinct difference between "your" and "you're." That said, I do think Mr. Marriedmanus' own intelligence bar is a bit low. This public forum for airing his marital grief? If his "lover" could find it, couldn't anyone else?

Indeed, Ticklebottom, old chappette. Once again you've shone a bright light on an obtuse and unsavory subject. Public forum? Distasteful and undignified. The damn, dirty ape.

My Dear Aullsgood,

You overlooked one: Brazenly disrespectful.

With luck, he will clean out his diary, exponge his history of emotional transgression, and come to learn where the greenest grass grows. God willing, he won't trample it all to death in the process!

Alas, apes are apes.

Ta!

Let me know when you're done casting stones.
By the way, it's "example," not "exmaple."

i'm with the doc and prof.

lowfimistress? spiritual divorce?

wanting out of your marriage is one thing. doing it publicly -- for her to find -- is loathesome and cowardly.

grow a set.

Thank you for pointing out that unfortunate typing error. I will have my male secretary, a lad called Biddlebox, fired immediately. From now on I will transcribe my own communiques. So nanny-nanny-poo-poo to you, Tricycleboy. Now, please follow the instructions above and "grow a set". Then, take these blogs down. Then buy a small, blank book and start PRIVATELY recording your personal thoughts and deeds. Also, sometime in the near future you should apologize to your wife and children for being a colossal turd. Furthermore, Ticklebottom mispelled "expunge" and I don't see you going all Webster's on his hindquarters. But I digress.
