An Ungrateful Bitch is the Worst Kind

Last month, I wrote about Ellen Tien's article (which can be found in its entirety here) titled She's Happily Married, Dreaming of Divorce. Well, Marky Mark (an EXCELLENT blogger), has written a follow-up, which links to BirdEye's blog (which will be going into the Google Reader in the next 10 minutes), giving us more information about Ellen Tien.

It turns out that her husband stuck with her through cancer, paralysis and multiple surgeries. In sickness and in health, right? So after that, she's dreaming of divorce? MarkyMark says "Ellen Tien is a BITCH!".

I think he was incorrect. Ellen Tien is the WORST kind of bitch. She's an ungrateful one. There are a few REAL men, in my mind. REAL men stay with their wives, in sickness and in health. It's easy to run when stuff gets difficult. But a REAL man stays.

Jeff Eckert (Joe's dad) is a REAL man. When I would hang out at Joe's house, he came home, would prepare dinner and make sure that everything was in order for Paula. He showed her unconditional love, and I know it may have driven him crazy, because Paula Eckert is a woman who I'm sure has NO IDEA how to bite her tongue (it's all love though). Watching him take care of her, as well as raise two teenage boys (and an occasional ruffian named Yemi) showed me how a REAL man handles his household. And I NEVER heard him complain. NEVER. He came home, would tell Joe and I to "Make a hole", as he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Then would make sure all was well. I highly doubt that Paula is "happily married, dreaming of divorce".

I feel sadness and pity for Ellen Tien's husband.
