you married a classic slacker... not that there is anything wrong with that. It is fine. The problem is he has not accepted the fact that he is a slacker. He is a closeted slacker. And there are a lot of dynamics here that hurt his ability to come out of the closet and accept being a slacker. Can his wife handle the fact she married a slacker? That is probably the biggest question. Can he admit to his wife that he enjoys being a slacker? If LW can handle it then she should gently encourage him and support him (and by support him I mean make him feel okay about the financial support and appreciate he made dinner by ordering out on her dime). I hope that does not sound cynical because I simply think it is true. He may be a great guy who feels like a loser, but in reality just has not been able to accept who he is because of the gender roles expected by society She is the bread winner and I'd bet the rural farm that she keeps most things in order with regard to family and finance (vacation and meal planning etc.). It's all good if both parties can accecpt the roles they play. If they can't... forget it, it's over.

.... that was a fun read. Keep up the good work.

... has retired from even trying. Lame.

....how about Raikkonen’s f1 championship! Sure, Hamilton may have choked, but the betting markets correctly gave up on Lewis in the last few races. Raikkonen apparently justified himself as being the highest paid individual in sports this year.

... 20 years from now, when you're daughter is all grown up, I hope you'll get a kick out of hearing her description of reality. It will be so very different from what you thought. Precisely because she is as smart as you describe, she'll manage your reality more than you will hers.

I think everyone here is trying to earn a grade of 'A' in their women's studies course. Please, get a grip. Don't let your kids watch tv? They don't care. They only deal on the Internet anyway. I discovered my own child's youtube video postings that he recorded at an iStore. I was also able to see all of his friends stuff, very funny and silly and innocent but man do they communicate in a different way than you could ever imagine (hundreds of postings between a group of friends from their school). My middle school son bought some Axe (as did all his friends), they wore it to a dance and it was all very silly. The girls wore terrible make up and bright strange cloths the girls had big ass hair and tons of perfume and make-up (eye shadow that was way over the top and very colorful) and it was all very funny. They were having fun and a couple of them probably experioenced their very first kiss (I don't know for sure but I don't think they were having big group orgy).

Good luck all, they are very much like we were as kids. Except of course.... in my day, we had drakkar, and the girls had liz clayborne (that triangle thing), and a billy idol song called mony mony and we would sing the alternate lyrics as loud as we could; and yet it was still nothing like our parents thought it must have been like... but man did we frighten the living shit out of them. good times...

This one is easy… these men have strong homosexual tendencies. You do not go to e-harmony looking to fulfill a sexual kink… you’re looking for Ward (or June) Cleaver… men with a supra non-threatening sexual personas.

I didn’t give this much thought until two of my obviously gay (but apparently in the closet) friends got engaged to two obviously non-sexual women through e-harmony. Then I started watching the commercials… holy crap… e-harmony is a sight for goofy ass sexually ambiguous Jared’s and like-minded women looking to get married. They can even have kids after the spending several $10’s of thousands of dollars treating “infertility”

…come on King, we all love your writing and want to hear your take on formula one. It’s impossible to ignore what just happened… this is big. We’re talking about big time stuff in one of the world’s biggest sports. You’re working for a publication published on the “World” Wide Web. If you can give a whole article to women's professional football you can surely chime in on this issue. We are talking black sox level scandal here… give it some love. I personally would love to hear your take on this issue. And, it’s a perfect tie in to the industrial espionage everyone is so infatuated with the NFL, except much much bigger. $100 million dollars!!!! The repercussions are enormous.

... even if you get rid of them... you still have a place you can't afford on your own and will still need to find a new roommate (or two). Find a place you can afford on your own and move on. If you can afford a lawyer to fight this battle you would be able to afford this place in the first place. But you can't (think three month's worth of rent wasted on letters and motions), and it's not worth it just to prove your moral superiority.

You can solve this problem in a week by moving out or you can make life hell for everyone. Yes, you are in in the right. But so what? It's not that big a deal. There are much bigger fights in this world. Spend your money on a good therapist, not a lawyer.
