All you need is a good man

Perhaps she means (from the Mae West quote) "A hard man is good to find".

I've not read the blog either...

Well, GNHQ, I think you will have got the general drift of our opinion of the blog!

I just had to read it after all the comments.
18 months married!!!! Silly woman, who does she think she is? I wonder what she will write in 5 years time, if she lasts that long.
Not that I care I hasten to add.

Midlife crisis?

All depends on what kind of a man, because as we all know they can make you or break you..

I don't think any man could break me, Cathy,although some have tried!
Only my children could do that.

I wasn't going to read her blog, but then I didn't think it fair to make the comment I had in mind without first reading it.
It's twaddle!

Having now had time to read the blog I think it is obvious she is still in the "honeymoon" stage (although I have to say I never got pleasure from folding my DH's jumpers - if he was lucky he might find them on top of his cabinet ready for him to put away!). I wonder if, after her career, she is just worn out and is happy for someone else to support her financially. It would be interesting to hear from her in a few years time and see if she still feels the same.

Perhaps she is hoping to get on all the TV chat shows, like that other idiot Samantha Brick, who said women hated her because she is so beautiful.

Basically she is just telling her story, my only objection is that, yes they may have lived separate lives but many couples do, which ever way she sugar coats it, he was a married man.

In my experience when you start something in that manner it can lead to un happiness. If he is the kind of man that ups and leaves after 20 years of marriage, what makes her think he wont do it to her. I hope he does not but this is the character of the man.

Despite warnings not to do so I have just read the blog and have to say I agree with most of what others have said. Totally agree with Greatnan when she says that "she is probably hoping to get onto TV chat shows like Samantha Brick" who is never out of the Daily Mail offering up her latest rubbish as to why women hate her because she is so beautiful. Who is she kidding?

I think she is one of those women who play directly into the hands of the "my wife doesn't understand me" brigade of men and will probably fall victim to it herself once the novelty has worn off.

Ooer, Bags...we've been banished to the naughty corner!

All I can say is - many thanks for the best laugh I've had in ages. What a complete drivelling idiot of a woman. I look forward to reading her new blog in 5 years time, the one that tells women who gave up their jobs, identity and life for an ex married man, why it wasn't such a good idea.

Oops! Sorry. I'll be getting a reputation (not sure I've had one of those before).

But it's nice to be in such good company in the blushing corner, soop

- Have you two transgressed....

Butty Just a little, Butty...and you're far too good to join us.

Come out of the doghouse, soop and Bags. I suppose I will never know what I've missed.

I have just been discussing names on an expat forum, as the French have decided to do away with Mademoiselle and all adult women will be addressed as Madam. I mentioned that I couldn't see why a woman should take her husband's name on marriage in the UK, and one woman got very shirty and said she was proud to be married to her husband. Well, I haven't seen her husband but I don't see why she couldn't be proud in her own name!
My current name is neither that of my ex husband or my father - I chose it myself and it was changed by deed poll. My girls joked that I had started a matriarchal dynasty - they both took the new name but took their husbands' name on marriage, but two of the grandsons have it as their middle name.

Greatnan high five!

I didn't change my name. Neither did my husband. Kept the one I had at birth but my father was lovely man and its a nice easy name . Son has husband's name, daughter has mine.

It's never been obligatory for the woman to take her husband's name, has it? I can see it might be useful if you hated your maiden name and hadn't got round to changing it by deed poll....

Now I'm usually only mildly curious when messages are deleted. But when it's Bags and Soop - Well, I'm shocked! What could you both have said? You're both such upright, moral, sensible people. .

Oh, and I changed my name - there's far too many Smith's in the world.

Bags is. Not so sure about that soop
