A woman wrote to her local newspaper seeking marital advice: “My husband is a born liar and philanderer. He has cheated on me from the start, and when I confront him, he just denies everything. The humiliation is unbearable because everyone knows he steps out on me. Also, after losing his job, he hasn’t bothered looking for a new one. All he does is stuff his face full of food, smoke cigars and shoot the bull with his buddies. Meanwhile, I’m working hard to pay the bills. Now that our daughter is married, he doesn’t pretend to want to spend time with me and even hints that I may be a lesbian. What should I do?” Signed, “Clueless and Frustrated in New York.”
The columnist replied, “Dear Clueless: Grow a pair and dump him. Good grief, woman. You were a New York senator, served as Secretary of State, and you’re running for President of the United States. Act like it.”
