Are you ready for my 5:15pm 3 coffees down high on cold and flu medication truth bomb extravaganza?
Marriage is fucking hard work.
It is hinted at, written about, studied and mumbled but I don’t think enough married people are saying to other married people: “My relationship can be a clusterfuck of disappointment, frustration and finger pointing.”
Which reminds me. Hey, you guys: Sometimes my marriage is a clusterfuck of disappointment, frustration and finger pointing.
(I really love the word clusterfuck. It is powerful, heavy and desperate all at once.)
I’m writing about this today because last week a married lady I know and love whispered this to me over a wine or 6. She said it like it was a defeat, as though she was disappointing the Relationship Gods by daring to utter those words out loud. Deep sighs and great swills of wine followed her admission, my response?
“KEN OATH!”
There are thousands upon thousands of relationship experts giving us unsolicited advice on how to spice up our marriages, listen to our partners and generally have a dream union. No one mentions what to do when you’re in an epic stand-off with your other half over whose turn it is to clean up the dog’s spew.

Continue to struggle with your views ! Really struggle with calling family members names , ( think you like the headline tho ) . I have previously listened to you on the radio until l heard your nauseating commentary on your child getting a scholarship eeeek . l try to read what you have to say but 'really' . You just remind me of all those annoying mothers typically of daughters that blow everything out of proportion and over analyze everything.
RELAX.
Your just angry , angry in your written word and spoken ! Address that anger and maybe write something that matters and l will give you another go ! As for your poor family OMG will they ever be good enough .
Hahahahaha made me laugh out loud. Glad to know I am not the only one with high standards - as soon as I read that section my inside voice screamed "OMG ME TOOO!!" Yay for not being the only one :)
