How's this for Monday morning...

her: Men get to go live and be happy and pursue a great future knowing that there will always be a woman waiting for him to marry her and give up her life for security and his future.
her: Hate.
him: The fact that there will always be a woman waiting for me is undeniable and unfair, I admit.
him: But at least I'll never be happy because whoever she is will never be satisfied with the extent to which I live up to her idealized father-fucker, with a tie and big hairy arms and some sandpapery skin and grease on my hands while I fix the lawnmower after earning another $5k that week at the firm, etc. etc.

him: Best decision of your splendid life, a life you yourself know is sublime in many moments -whatever the despair you sometimes feel over what isn't- and beautiful and good, with trips to the beaches and adventures and all the sweet nice things you tell me about: not getting the donut
