re: Overly Serious Divorced Woman Can't Figure Out Why She's Single, Take 4000

Nobody wants to raise your child, lady.

Truly, I just wanted to hear about neuroscience and his heartache.

It’s a first date; you’re not entitled to that, you lunatic.

Perhaps TV star Patrick Warburton would be interested in taking her out for a meal together.

I’m going to keep being intense and wordy and sometimes massively stressed and a little unhinged.

So, a bitch. Got it

I just wanted to hear about neuroscience and his heartache.

And here is how that would go.

She wouldn’t understand a bit about neuroscience and would feel stupid and lash out at him for mansplaining when he tries to explain it in simpler terms.

Then she will accuse him of talking about his ex too much and say he must still love her

Why can't a divorced, unattractive (I googled for pictures of her) harridan get a new husband? Must be the fault of men and their dating profiles.

quote:

---

I became a single mother seven years ago. I ended my marriage because I simply wasn’t happy, wasn’t in love and believed I deserved to feel fulfilled. I didn’t want to merely exist in life or in my most important relationship. I wanted to be my authentic self. I wanted more.

My estranged husband and I divided our things and worked out a custody arrangement. I worried about the criticism I’d receive for making what still so often feels like an unpopular choice. I wondered if I’d be able to support myself and my kids. But I didn’t worry about dating, or whether it would be hard or scary. I didn’t worry about never finding someone or being alone for the rest of my life — not once.

This isn't the worst I've seen in terms of trashing an ex, but people tell us too much about themselves. I was not "fulfilled", I "deserved" more. You see this point of view all the time from female writers. The ex is just a ghost, a shadow object: I, the author, deserved more and it wasn't being given to me. So I made the choice to divorce.

Wonder if she could've done anything different? Meh nevermind, all that matters is she wasn't given what she was owed.

quote:

---

I had flings and some relationships, none which lasted very long. But each time I dusted myself off and returned to the apps — the place where most romantic connections begin these days — I started to feel a greater and greater sense of dread. It wasn’t exactly that I had grown tired of meeting people. It was that I started to feel as if I was no longer what a growing number of men were looking for.

---

Ma'am, you are so close to figuring this out.

Every link in that AOL post was to some HuffPost story about how women should leave their husbands for one ridiculous reason or another, or never get married in the first place because Those fricking Men!. That whole site is poison.

---

I'm over the whole free speech thing at this point, at least when it comes to the internet. The shite "media companies" post on the internet should be regulated and scrutinized the way the FCC scrutinized TV and radio during the heyday of broadcast media, and constrained in the same way the Hays Code used to control what we saw in movies. Anyone posting pro-divorce bullshite ought to have their license pulled and their equipment, profits, etc. confiscated.

Who wouldn’t pick the rats over this hag?

I ended my marriage because ... I wanted to be my authentic self. I wanted more.

The man she claimed to love that was providing a stable life was now what held her back. Lmfao
