A certain relative of mine is married to a jackass. She thinks about leaving him every now and then. She actually did leave him once for a couple days. Now, it seems like she is on the verge of leaving him again. When she wants to leave him, she says all the things about him that the rest of us are thinking all the time. When she decides to go back to him, she talks about him as if he is personally responsible for making the earth turn on its axis. So, perhaps you can understand why I was rolling my eyes so hard that I nearly sustained an eye injury last night while she was trashing her husband to anyone who would listen. By the time Christmas rolls around, I know I am going to have to pretend to be nice to that jackass again.
