American Dream?

I am supposedly living the "American Dream", so why does it feel more like a nightmare? I guess it must be America's dream...not mine.

I Don't Want to do it Anymore!

A male coworker said it all today...."I need to get a wife because I am so sick of doing everything myself (in reference to household chores, shopping, bills, etc)". I think men only want to get married to use and abuse women. They want someone to take care of them and a sex partner with no strings attached. Let me know if I am wrong and there are some decent men alive. I am so sick of being used in my marital relationship. I'm to the point I think I'm going to explode. I will describe my evening (typical of most evenings): arrive home at 5 pm, spouse napping on the couch, since he arrived home at 3:30. I cook dinner, clean the kitchen and rest of house, unload and reload dishwasher, fold and put away clothes, pay bills/update budget, while he talks on the phone for 1.5 hours. I ask spouse if he wants to go to gym, says no because he is busy on computer, but really watching dumb TV show. Get in argument about him not doing anything around the house and being lazy. We ...

Miss (L)ed

I still miss J so much! I still think about him all the time and still wonder what it could have been like if we received another chance. I wish I could leave the hell I am living in to find out, but fear the repercussions of my actions. I feel like I am doomed to live a life of misery. I hate my life, and don't even know why it is worth living. I feel like I am continually wandering blindfolded though life, only walking the opposite direction of the happiness I seek closer to the depths of despair. I don't feel like I have anything to look forward to in this life. I wonder if I will ever find contentment. Anytime I think something may make me happy, I only feel more miserable when I obtain it. I can't find contentment within myself and wish I knew how. I know I can't expect others or things to bring me happiness.

A Bad Rap...

I've never understood why people have to be so judgmental and stereotypical? It is very difficult for a sweet, petite, blond haired, blue eyed, woman to be taken seriously in all venues of the business world. People look at me like I am dumb all the time and I can't stand their infantile treatment. I know I would be given significantly more respect if I just dyed my hair brown to appease the business world. I must work at least twice as hard to earn respect from those I work with or encounter during my daily endeavors. Dang you blonds who act so ditzy! I actually graduated in the top 3% of my class, probably higher if the level of recognition was documented below 3%. I wasn't the top student due to one class in which I received a measly 93%, because I was so ill the day of the final I couldn't even coherently read the test. Since I was 20, I've constructed a successful online bookstore, from which I've earned more in a month than my current post grad salary. I s...
