This is being passed around my office today:
They even have a blog:
Can you believe this shit? These crazy b's have actually formed a support group for each other in their time of relationship woes. By woes, they simply mean that papa bear ain't bringing home the same bacon. Here is an excerpt from the blog:
"This whole messy ordeal has advanced my Botox start date by at least two years....since my BF lost his job, he wants to have dinner every night. By dinner I mean staying in and cooking... AND, FYI – chopping vegetables along side your man in a hot New York sized kitchen is NOTHING like the sexy kitchen scene between Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger in Nine and a Half Weeks. Seriously. It sucks. "
and this one from some hot mistress:
"My married man treats me just as well as, if not better than, many of the unmarried bankers I’ve dated in the past. I would call myself his “girlfriend” in the sense that I receive constant attention via text messages, emails and phone calls, fabulous vacations while he is on “business trips” and a never ending supply of gifts, gourmet meals and affection. I get all this AND I get to leisurely continue to date in search of my own Mr. Right. Win-win, don’t you think? I certainly did… until the mortgage meltdown....."
The worst part about creating a "support group" like this is that there is no indication that these ladies are even trying to help or support each other. It seems more like another way for them to bitch and moan about how sad their lives have become. In reality, this recession is very real and people are losing their jobs daily. Financial issues can heavily burden any relationship, but the most important way to be supportive is to shut up and do just that: hold your partners hand and love them through the tough shit. Don't just bitch about it- do something to help.
Welcome to being poor in the city, ladies, even though it's not even close to being as bad as some people have to experience. I bet now you wish you would have followed your heart and dated a man who can make you happy, without the money.
