U know a girl is not date-able when every other phrase begins with "my ex.."
"My ex used to wear that watch" "One of my exes was the bouncer...""I used to dance in a salsa class with my ex..."

time to ex-it my dear, time to ex-it.

Is it so hard now to find a smart girl who is really smart and not insecure about her smartness? Lord knows that's about the worst thing that could happen, ok, she works as some IT analyst in some bank...ok, talk the talk...she has this assertive...rather very assertive personality. Ok, no fret, i aint scared of u...shit. Then she becomes all talk-downish and u throw out a witty comment and then she gets all hyper-defensive and shit..."offended" that u are being a smart ass.

Bitch chill...shit. No wonder u an old heifer and single, doesnt help that u ugly...shit.

i think in-laws are the most destructive thing to a marriage, 2nd to infidelity of course.

Ike meets Isi...marries her coz he loves her...not her family...her. She married him, not coz of his family...him

They dont have a child after 5 years of marriage, now ike's family runs to him and talk her ogbanje...barren etc etc. Introduce him to a few young mgbekes in the city, gold-diggers who would not mind carrying his sperm provided he spoils them with his bank money...but he holds his own, he's not going to be swayed by them, but the mental anguish and frustration from his family he brings back home...Isi tries to cook her husband dinner...ok there's too much salt in the rice...no problem, just find something else right? No...he flips...gets verbal on her, compares her lack of culinary skills to lack of ovaries in her belly...that's where it starts...the downfall. if the family wasnt involved, Ike and Isi might have used their money to visit doctors and found a solution to it...they may even have adopted one of those babies Isi used to treat at the hospital...abandoned children of teenage mothers...but even he hits on that...says how can a 15 year old give birth to a son and u, a bloody 24 year old woman with all the sexual energy cant even pop a miscarriage at least? "It's must have been all the men u must have fucked in college" he says...not coz he knew she had a past, but because his mother somehow brought up a theory of how being a "ho" in the past can fuck up one's chances of having children....tell me that marriage is not doomed to destruction.

Speaking on in-laws, picture Devon and Laurie...now Devon's mistake was marrying a woman without a man in her family, closest man he knows in his family is her uncle...who raped her at 12, but no one talks about that.

Anyway, Devon cant handle her side of the family, but he rarely has to deal with them except during holidays when they go over to visit, and each time he has to keep an eye on Laurie so she doesnt stab a knife in her uncle's neck...but anyway, that's about it.

Now devon gets laid off due to a job cut...he's sad....usually during sad times...he's now on welfare, there are no jobs now, the only option is to move completely but as at now, the status quo is alright, his welfare money pays the rent, she works a bit, she pays some bills,no debts,their kid has a grant set for when he graduates high school for a full tuition in a state college, both of them should be alright...but then she starts listening to her mother, her aunt (who's been married and divorced more times than Liz Taylor) and her grandmother (who should honestly be dead)

They tell her what kind of man sits at home, watches tv while she slaves all day at work? What kind of dickless man is he? Shouldnt he take care of u now? taking u out to eat and giving u the best life has to offer? "look at that miserable ring..." they say "how long have u had the same ring on ur finger? hasnt he made enuff money to buy u a new one? he doesnt work at burger king anymore..."
"And darius, doesnt he make enough money to send Darius to one of the nice schools Omar is sending his children to?" Omar is actually into illegal gambling, but let's not deviate from good old Aunt Maureen's point "he is just a miser, lazy old bastard"

Now she takes all that for him...he looks, doesnt say a word....she works 20 hours a week as a night-shift manager at Sonic....how does that somehow compare to working in a factory 60 hours a week for 7 years? What is wrong with how they are living? Do i need to buy a new ring? the rock is still on that one u wearing...moreover dont u remember the symbol? doesnt this marriage mean anything to u? where we started from? Darius and his school plans are good, he's a smart boy making good grades and can get into the best school in the world with it...why spend more money on some stupid private school and still end up the same place as he will be now? Why are u listening to those old cougars? Why? dont u remember me? the husband u married, the one who worked and went to high school, had to feed my mom and 2 sisters? cant u remember me the one who had to skip junior prom so he could work his shift? dont u remember me? was it me u married or was it those old cougars u listen to? dont u remember me?

of course he cant say any of this to her, coz she will run back to them and then they give her another dose and then the divorce...and oh no prenup...they married when they were in love...i'm sure he'd think love is for idiots when he has to sign those alimony and child support checks.

"Carmen was a girl i once knew, a pretty nice girl..we hit it off, but not in a relationship kind of way coz I was not looking to date or anything to her...she was physically attractive but after one or 2 conversations with her, u can pretty much size her up and what she is, and know what she is made of and then decide to be all buddy buddy to her...interesting conversations, fun times, but there was something that kept my heart beating about her, she was soft docile, tender, not fiesty and vicious like the others...she needed a man that would be just as tender on her as her soul is...but no. She went for a fool, a fool she had known for four years and dated for one...a fool she caught cheating on her, and he asked her to be back in her life...she said yes. A fool who even could not remember her children's info talk less about take care of their well-being. She was soft and allowed herself to be messed up by this factory reject of God's rejection...and she depended on him for transport for everything...but he was a jerk about it, always drank with his boys at the bar and told her he'd be down there in a minute when he was meant to be there 1 hour ago and arrives 2 hrs later...not surprsing she left the job then. She couldnt get her way to and for work and she needed the work for her children's sake...and hers. If only she had someone who could have taken care fo her better, if only I could have thought about just volunteering to be a better man than that jerk was...show her what being a man who cares about her is all about...only if I did...but I didn't....but hey no worries. I just feel bad for her, i hope wherever she is, she is doing well with a man of her own who treats her for the gentle lamb she is, and not with that prepubescent son of a bitch."

[Boss]

I'm sure some of y'all feel me when u see ur exes and the new person they are with...not necc jealousy coz that's not a right feeling...more of a feeling of...disappointment?

Take for example, u once dated wut u thought was a refined college-educated slightly party-hardy but focused ...ok, things didnt work between both of u...fine.

Now u see her dating what looks like an 18th century lord of the shalanga, now u are not talking about his physical appearance alone, u are talking about his repute, who he is...party hardy nigerian boy with a reputation for passing thru more women than tampons...he poses with her, claiming dude as her boo and u see her picture in every event...now u know u are most definitely better than dude...he cant even knot a tie even it came with a clip on and manual instructions...his party ego and his exterior says hard man but u met him before...u saw the punk in him, and u know his spirits bowed to urs....but u never mention it, u just smile at them both...and just wait for the facebook feed when she suddenly becomes 'Single' or interested in 'Friendship'...whichever comes first...or both...lol

[Boss]

I've talked too much...this is the first and last time u gon hear a bad man talk like me...BAUHAAHAHAHAH!!!!
