I have come to the conclusion that ALL men are the same, . . . jerks! OK, maybe only 95% of them. I sometimes look at a man who is really nice and say to myself, “Why can't Daniel be like ______?” Most of these men are married to friends of mine. These men seem so nice and act like gentlemen . . . until the truth comes out and their wives complain about them. Then I just think to myself, “Yep, Daniel is exactly that way.” I will give some examples. I don't mean to offend anyone; I will not use any names. If you think I am speaking about you, please don't be offended.
Friend #1: Husband is a machista (aren't they all?).
Friend #2: Husband loves outdoors and hates being at home inside. Well guess what!! Your wife is stuck at home all day with the children!
Friend #3: Husband cheated on her and he's only sorry that she found out. Yep! He isn't sorry for what he did, only that she found out.
Unrelated note: Daniel just told me, “Honey, this house is not a free country. You're married.”
Friend #4: The other day I was at my friend's house. Her husband wasn't home. So far I had thought that he was in the 5% that are real men. Well, he came home and she got up and cooked dinner for him. Who the heck said that cooking and cleaning for one's husband was a commandment? She was totally expected to do this. Why do I say this? --Because he immediately went to the dining room and sat down and waited to be spoon fed.
Friend #5: We had this couple over for FHE. On the entertainment center we have a picture of when we got married. The girl looked at the picture and said to me, “Wow! You were thin back then.” At this point I wanted to hurt her, but I didn't. I just smiled. Then her jerk husband told me, “Yeah, [my wife] used to be skinny too. She's gained a lot of weight.” (Ironically, she happens to be around a size 7-8. She must have been super-skinny before). Can I say something to this jerk?? She had your baby! On another occasion this guy saw Daniel at the library and asked, “Where is your wife? Is she at home cooking? Mine is at home cooking.” (Note: While they had this conversation, they were watching videos on YouTube.)
I would like to say that I have had some women tell me that I HAVE to do whatever my husband says and do WHATEVER he wants me to. NOPE! Who ever said that women were supposed to be slaves? Now, the women that have told me this are older women who always did everything for their husbands or close enough to it. Anywho, we are all in a new era of life where things have drastically changed.
As for my case, Daniel is only a wanna-be machista who will never be like the many machista jerks I've seen, thank goodness.
