Your mother is your primary female role model whether you chose to acknowledge that or not. Mom was a keeper, which explains why Dad kept her. My ex wasn't so I didn't. I don't hate women. It's just a fact that the ones available to me are unsuitable for long term commitment. I'm not crying about it. I enjoy the variety.
She cheated on you, didn't she? And you're scared to love again? Be honest, your life is a bad Barry Manilow song, isn't it? Come on, admit it, we won't judge you.
You crack me up. That's what would have had to happen for you to cram my narrative into your model of the way the world works, right?
Look, my ex is the mother of my daughter and I'm not gonna trash her to make myself look good to strangers. Think what you like. The fact is that there are very few women worth marrying and most of the ones who are don't stay on the market long. Women are a luxury.
