No suprises here
So let me get this straight. The author begins with a list of her qualities that are liabilities in dating, but then goes on to describe meeting a man who loves her anyway. A man who accepts her for who she is, and doesn’t expect her to change. A man who is willing to give up his life’s passion for her. Rational people would think that’s great.
But great isn’t good enough. She still expects him to change as proof of his love. And so the old story plays itself out again: "If he really loved me, he’d stop/start/change X."
Sure he’s smart, interesting, involved with the kids, a good cook and everything else, but one of his friends is a jerk. Sure he loves her, but he isn’t psychic and doesn’t realize then when she takes his hand out of hers, he’s supposed to stand up and defend her honor.
Someone who is this much of a silly twit deserves to be unhappy. I just feel sorry for the guy and her kids, who she will insist on making miserable in the process.
I knew as soon as soon as I read "still shop at Kohl's" that I should have stopped reading.
