So today, my fave radio station KISW, was inviting people to call in with advice for a guy who was having some issues. The story was, he got married and had kids and is very happy with his life, but is thinking of contacting an old girlfriend who dumped him 10 years ago. Apparently he feels he needs to have "closure" and hasn't ever gotten over being dumped. JFC, did he hand his balls to his wife for safekeeping when he got married????? Closure? Really? Is he expecting the ex girlfriend to beg forgiveness for hurting his feelings??? Unfortunately, where I live now, the home of the passive aggressive fleece monster, is full of immasculated men in touch with their feminine side to the point of oestrogen overload. You know them, the bumfluff beard, the herbal tea drinking, baby bjorn wearing daddies who spends quality time with baby so that gravelly-voiced mum can kick seven bales of snot out of people at her martial arts class before heading to Microsoft for the day. She spends her day telling everyone what to do then comes home and dominates daddy too.
I'm lucky to be married to "himself", English and proud of it, wouldn't be seen dead carrying one of our 4 monsters in a papoose, and thinks closure is something you do to an open door! I don't think the other extreme, caveman with a beer in one hand and a gun in the other is any better, but jeez, the majority of the guys I see in this area need a kick up the pants. All the rain we get here has melted away any backbone they may have had I guess.
Well said. I think the woman's liberation movement created an entire generation of gender confused men wondering where they fit in now.
