Questions for Divorced Women

Women:

• Would you still love your mother and father if they made less money than you do?

• Would you still love your sons and daughters if they made less money than you do?

• Would you still love your aunts and uncles if they made less money than you do?

• Would you still love your cousins if they made less money than you do?

• Would you still love your brothers and sisters if they made less money than you do?

Then why will you not love the man you promised to love and cherish until death? Why do you punish your own children by removing the most important man from their lives simply because he lost a job? Why do you call the police, hire lawyers, and run to judges to break him down when he fails to fulfill every fantasy and cannot serve your every want, need, desire, and emotion on a silver platter exactly when, where, and how you demand it?

Why do you choose to hate the very hand that fed you? Why do you take the love you vowed to give and lock it away the moment he is no longer a perfect provider in your eyes?

A vow is not a contract you cancel when your lifestyle dips. It is not a promise with a clause that expires when you are no longer entertained. The man you discard is the same man you chose. The man you betray is the one you once called your future. When you strip him from your children, you do not just punish him, you punish them. And for what? For failing to keep you in the comfort you decided you deserved.
