Men are Capable of Such Things

I remember when my husband and I were trying to plan out our lives and forecast where we'd live for the next twenty years. This was a couple of years back. Since then, we've split up but we were very happy once. It's just that he and I are very different creatures in certain ways.

We had a conversation that still kind of cracks me up today. I told him that I'd love to live somewhere interesting where there were all sorts of things to see and to do. I pictured New York City or somewhere perhaps a bit warmer but still busy enough and interesting enough--perhaps Buck-head in Atlanta. But he said that his ideal spot would be out in the middle of nowhere around Montana with no neighbors.

I told him that it would be very isolated and insulated and what would we ever do for shopping etc. His answer was that we could just online order everything and have it delivered to our place. Now, I don't know how it is for most women but here's what it is for me: I can't exactly order everything online and hope that I get the size right because it's a real pain to have to pack it up again and ship it out. And I know that men (well my ex-husband) all don't care about ordering clothes and trying things on. They just think that they can just use a Newegg promo code and buy computer parts and stuff and live in a way that they're perfectly happy.

And guess what girls? They can.
