You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit

I recently ran into a good friend's husband and had a strange conversation with him. He used the phrase "I didn't get married to..." (fill in the blank with some inconveniencing circumstance). I realized later how cringe-worthy this statement always is. And then I had the thought I often have when talking to some men: If I were married to you, you'd be in a body cast.

So far I have broken nothing of Punky's, with the exception of anything that came to this house from his bachelor year's that I deemed ugly. But those items came to a mysterious/tragic ending by some strange twist of fate. I know nothing of the circumstances behind the shattering of that hideous soap dispenser...

Are there really people out there who think marriage should be, at all times, convenient? Isn't marriage saying "I would rather have a messy, annoying, inconvenient life with you than have a messy, annoying, inconvenient life without you"?

I hope it was a moment of weakness for this man, a moment when too much thinking leaked from his brain to someone who won't put him in a body cast for it. I hope, I hope, I hope.
