Obnoxious Husbands

Are any of your girlfriends married to obnoxious husbands? Or do you ever run across couples while you’re out and about and witness an exchange between them that makes you think, “Wow. That guy’s really obnoxious. How does she put up with him?” I have a couple of friends who are married to husbands who would be too much for me.

Couples: We Got Along Great Before We Met

It all began in a chat room. We started babbling at each other and we just hit it right off. Every day when I logged in, I did a who to see if he was around and I’d send a message to say hi.

I loved coming home from work to seeing him online where we could catch up. We liked to chat about the same movies, the same books and sometimes … Continue reading
