Friend got divorced recently after 20 years of marriage. We were at an event and a male acquaintance, who is better friends with her ex husband, said to her that it must be hard for her to have to do everything now (they have 3 kids) and asked how she's managing all that extra work. She replied that taking the trash can to the street once a week isn't that challenging. I laughed out loud. They really do think they contribute so much more than they do.

I've posted before that my husband is a fucking idiot. That's not totally true. He's actually a fucking lazy idiot. Two more years, then I'm out.

People make fun of me when I buy a lottery ticket and get disappointed when I lose. But it's the only way I could leave him and not completely ruin my kids' lives. Every time I lose, I lose more hope.

I feel like I post this all the time, but my husband's a fucking idiot. Two more years, then I can leave.

I'm just here to say that I'm sick of my husband's shitty moods and I told him so. He has a problem at work that is due to a mistake he made and he's been grumpy all weekend. His bad mood hangs over everything. Meanwhile I've filed a formal complaint against my boss, which comes with a genuine fear of retaliation, and I'm fairly chipper. Yes, it's stressful, and yes I'm venting about it, but I don't have a dark cloud hanging over my head that is making everyone else stressed out. He's down there in the basement right now cussing at something that I'm certain is fairly minor. When I ask him what's wrong he will say "nothing" in a snotty tone. I am OVER IT! Thank you for letting me vent.

Only 2 more Christmases before I leave my useless husband.

I'm sorry, but...WE KNOW. You post this every single year. If it bothers you so much perhaps you should separate.

Every Veteran's Day, my husband expects everyone to make a big fuss and thank him for his service. Nope. Not going to do it. Not because I don't appreciate and respect our veterans, but because he doesn't deserve it. He only enlisted because he was a fuck up in high school and couldn't get into college, and his parents were not going to support him. He enlisted for 2 years, because it was the bare minimum. He would have absolutely never signed up if there were any chance that he would have to actually deploy. After his 2 years, he did try the national guard but was asked to leave since he couldn't bother to actually show up. The closest he came to combat was probably a drunken bar fight in Georgia. But he acts like he stormed the beach in Normandy. Asshole.

I've been married for 12 years and we're pretty darn happy. We don't have kids, though. I think that removes an enormous amount of stress. Two of my friends are currently going through divorces and it's because they are basically parents to their children AND their husbands. So many idiot men just want a mommy (like my first husband).

When the kids are grown and out of the house is exactly when I want to not be married. Married almost 20 years and just waiting for the last one to go off to college so I can file for divorce. Don't want to have to sell the house and uproot my kid during their last years of high school. The last thing I want to do is spend my golden years cooking and cleaning for someone else.
