@ThereIsNoFluffy: Behold the non-apology!

But what we're concerned with is the practical question of fertility, and in what condition a woman's body needs to be in order to conceive.

@annepersand: Agreed. Jazz hands and all that....

@LaComtesse: Okay, you can have that one if I can sing the title cut, which is AWESOME.

@LaComtesse: Add me to Team Why Ever? I'm not horribly offended but I just don't care to see that or think it needs to be portrayed in musical form. Thanks all the same.

@PenelopePeony: I worry about this, because on one hand, I will definitely go "hmmm...I might not want to go there after all" when I read reviews. But on the other hand, if only the cranks write reviews, should I even care? Am I missing out because I pay too much attention to the cranks?

@Griff: I wondered about that! I figured this pre-dated Photoshop, which makes it even more egregious.

@Thalia Al Ghul: Jamie Oliver.

@badmutha: Now that you mention it, Freddie Mercury (of blessed memory) would be ALL in favor of the mankini.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

@info371: Um... I count five people but only six legs.

@girly: Marriage has never been a guarantee of anything but marriage, even in places where divorce was illegal. The institution of marriage has never guaranteed you would be happy, or loved or cared for or even respectfully-treated. Sure, that's the ideal —-at least in modern Western culture—-but results vary, the…

@girly: Yep, typed too fast. I'll edit. I meant "fault divorce."

@girly: Believe me, the law in NY has nothing to do with whether two people feel "bonded" or not.

@KLondike5: Agreed. I think she was angry and wanted to punish him at all costs—even if it destroyed her own life and her kids lives for five years. The legal battle must have cost her a fucking fortune. I know someone who went through something similar in New York for two years and the legal fees were over $100k.…

@girly: It's NOT defined that way under any law that I know of, and certainly not in New York state, where this case took place.

@Ligeia: She would have automatically gotten half of all their marital assets, child support, half of his retirement funds and probably alimony as well. She's entitled to those things under NY law regardless of why the marriage ended.

@melliejellybelly: Except New York has always been a community property state. So that was not an issue here.

@girly: Because being married means you are bonded to someone, so it only makes sense that both would have to want out.

@AngriestGeek: Well, refusing to give him a divorce = keeping him in the marriage. And yeah, she was clearly putting her own anger above her children's well-being (and her own as well, because, really, spending 5 years fighting like that is not going to help you achieve any kind of resolution or move on).
