I get the idea, keep the husband locked up. But what if he cuts off the lock when another woman comes along? Not intending to spoil anyone's fun. I understand and respect all people.
Lock up and deny your man if he wants it. But be mindful if and when it starts to get old.
Could be a few women out there looking to steal your husband.
I don’t know if you’ve heard the breaking news, but it seems there is a national shortage of good men. I didn’t know it, but since I broke up with Chef, it is all most people can tell me. “He seemed like such a good guy,” they say. “You know, those are really hard to come by.” I’m not sure how I missed the bulletin. I guess I’ve been paying too much attention to the weather, or that damned Anderson Cooper distracted me with some mess about cholera in Haiti, but somehow I missed the advisory scrolling on the bottom of TV screens everywhere:
The United States is facing the worst ever shortage of good, available men. Take cover and if you have one of these men, hold onto them tightly, because trifling, single women around the country will attempt to steal them from you. The United Nations is negotiating an agreement to ship good men from other countries to help with the United States’ shortage, and the National Guard is on standby in case there is social unrest. We’ll keep you updated as this important story develops.
I guess I never really thought that good men were a dime a dozen or anything, but seriously, are there really so few that I may never find one ever again? By breaking up with Chef, have I lost my last real chance at happiness? Because I ended a perfectly good relationship (perfectly good except I’m not ready), am I destined at the ripe old age of 25 and 11 months to live the life of a spinster?
Don’t answer that question. I’m starting to learn that I shouldn’t ask questions to which I don’t really want the answer. Consider, for example, my father’s disappointment in me when I went to visit him this weekend for his birthday. He asked me about the fellow I was dating (note: he does not read the blog and I don’t keep him that up-to-date on my love life, so the last he’d heard about Chef was at Thanksgiving before we broke up). When I mentioned I’d ended things with Chef because I wasn’t ready for a serious relationship, you would not believe the sigh that came out of my father’s mouth. He then proceeded to ask me why I seem so intent on messing up my life, and that if I keep this up, I will end up alone. I should also mention that earlier in the day, he semi-jokingly told a total stranger that he has begun to lose all hope that he will get another grandchild, because neither my sister Natasha nor me seemed like we’d ever have children.
