Understandable reaction from a sane person.

You have a marvelous talent for showing “ the theatre of the absurd” and still allow the reader freedom to want to beat “ it” out of him and refuse to give him a towel, a steel brush maybe but no towel. No towels for you!!!

Could we collectively throw his “ mess” at him…just once?

Respect, Mere. My respect for you continues to grow.

PS: awesome picture; beautiful soul

It was a GOOD towel too. We had just gotten married... so like, the wedding gift towels. C'mon, my man... get it together.

Well, this is the least offensive thing he did in regard to poop and me. So you might want to get prepared.

I'm with Alyson. The "fainting goat who saw too much" sent me over the edge!

He had a history 😬😬 I’m sorry, but the part about a “fainting goat who saw too much” made me cackle. This story blows my mind!

Girl. I was in no way prepared for the things of that marriage. Being from where I am and raised the way I was, I didn't go around broadcasting these things at the beginning. It wasn't until over halfway in that I started telling other women my "normal experiences" that I learned, when observing pure shock, that nothing about my experience was normal.

And then, once it was over and I was dating, I learned men didn't consider it normal either. When you're leading with questions like, "How long do you spend in the bathroom, on average? If you were to poop and see you were out of toilet paper, what would you do? If you ever poop your pants, what do you do with them?"

They had serious questions.

Jake, the one who won out, said, "My God, your standards are so low." 😂

I am out! I signed up for a marriage not a daycare! Who does that? Who raised him? Even if it was your only choice why leave it in the floor! Girl I am so glad you got out of that. And just so you know you covered it well about not being happy!
