Typical feminazi. Between her "thinking" and her looks, no wonder her husband stayed away half the year.

Sadly, and to my horror, I am divorcing. This was a 20-year partnership. My husband is a good man, though he did travel 20 weeks a year for work. I am a 47-year-old woman whose commitment to monogamy, at the very end, came unglued. This turn of events was a surprise. I don’t generally even enjoy men; I had an entirely manageable life and planned to go to my grave taking with me, as I do most nights to my bed, a glass of merlot and a good book. Cataclysmically changed, I disclosed everything. We cried, we bewailed the fate of our children.
And yet at the end of the day — literally during a five o’clock counseling appointment, as the golden late-afternoon sunlight spilled over the wall of Balinese masks — when given the final choice by our longtime family therapist, who stands in as our shaman, mother, or priest, I realized … no. Heart-shattering as this moment was — a gravestone sunk down on two decades of history — I would not be able to replace the romantic memory of my fellow transgressor with the more suitable image of my husband, which is what it would take in modern-therapy terms to knit our family’s domestic construct back together. In women’s-magazine parlance, I did not have the strength to “work on” falling in love again in my marriage. And as Laura Kipnis railed in “Against Love,” and as everyone knows, good relationships take work.

"Office of Advocacy funded data and research shows that small businesses represent 99.7 percent of all firms, they create more than half of the private non-farm gross domestic product, and they create 60 to 80 percent of the net new jobs."
As for marriage we know that the children of broken homes are far more likely to end up in prison with broken lives and a compromised future. The cost foisted on society by those who do not marry is larger than the cost of tobacco use, the cost of obesity, the cost of so many things that many in this country see essential to combat for the public good. Married women are much less likely to be abused, contract stds, and have a generally longer lifespan. Marriage is not antiquated it is absolutely essential and much like the creation of small businesses if marriage ceases to exist so does our culture and most likely our civilization. While women with careers like this selfish woman may be ok getting divorce at the age of 40 something it is the young woman and men in their 20s that will suffer the consequences of the generalizing of personal failure to the masses.
Most liberal women don't.
This was either post earlier this week or I’ve seen the word bewailed twice!
What a scummy, narcissistic b%#ch.
I agree. This was an obnoxious article. Total self-absorption.

The whole article is written so she can justify her unfaithfulness by claiming that a lifelong commitment to marriage is unreasonable, especially in this day and age.
After about her third metaphor, I’d divorce her as well...
What’s wrong with this picture?
Shamans
Alcohol
Fantasy life
The wine in itself might be O.K. (or not) but the combination turned out deadly.
How can they. They have been nursed on the anger of feminism with men as their competitors or simple a necessary evil. I’ve never heard a man say such a stupid thing as “I don’t generally enjoy women”. Even homosexual men enjoy women. So the not enjoying men theme is unnatural and counterproductive. That it is received as if it is completely natural troubles me in the same way someone saying “I don’t generally enjoy black people” and make as little sense. I certainly don’t enjoy women with this kind of attitude, they are interesting to talk for a bit and they usually have a huge amount of emotional baggage. They keep up a steel wall of defensiveness but they are still a woman at their core and that is what they fear. They set false absolutes and use phony assumptions about men to shield themselves from loving one or even agreeing with one.
Sandra, honey, you and your “friends” are a mess. I don’t know which I have more of for you—pity or disdain.
100-1 she went lesbo.

And somewhere, her ex husband had the best night’s sleep he has had in 20 years. The promise of the sweet release of divorce now at least releases him from a life with this women, and opens the possibility that he can find a good woman to be with.
Yerah, I agree. If I was married to her, given this article, I would have left her first.
