Why?

Everytime I hear a woman sob about being afraid that somebody does not love them anymore I wonder why in the world they want to be with that person.

Sobbing girl 1: He says the girl he cheated to me on was just a moment of weakness and I should be more understanding.

Me: Tell him to "understand" that he is never going to have anything to do with you again. Tell him to "understand" that you have no time to spare for his "moments".
Tell him you have better things to do and better men to date. Tell him you "understand" that he is incapable of love and loyalty to anybody but himself.
Tell him you "understand" only too well the extent of his "weakness". Then throw his things out of your apartment and change your phone numbers.


Sobbing girl 2: He says that I am too fat and I have gained too much weight and I do not look the way I did when he first married me..."

Me: OH NO HE DI'N'T!!!

Sobbing girl 3: Now he is gone so late at night and does not tell me where he is and I am worried that he is having an affair. I am so afraid of losing him...(sob sob sob)


Me: WHY?
Seriously, sweetie. Why? Just let her have him. Go throw his things out of the house!
He has just CALLED YOU FAT, honey!? He probably is having an affair. So why do you want to be married to a man who treats you that way? Where is your sense of worth? Get a restraining order against that jerk if he ever comes crying back.


Sobbing girl 4: He left me for the seminary then he left the seminary for me and now he is telling me that he has a vocation to the priesthood after all! (sob sob sob)

Me: Tell him good riddance. In the future honey, never date ex-seminarians just out of the seminary. Never take a man back who has dumped you for the seminary unless he slays dragons to and crawls in the dust at your feet to get you back.


Sobbing girl 5: Why does this keep happening to me? I keep trying to be the most perfect person I can be and my boyfriends keep telling me that I need to try harder and I am not good enough. What is wrong with me?

Me: Nothing except possibly low self-esteem. You keep dating jerks. Next time a fellow says you are not good enough for him, laugh in his face and tell him that he does not stand a chance with ending up with somebody like you. Then strut happily away.
