I was just ranting to Cari about some of the tripe they show on the morning shows under the guise of news when an email pops up in my inbox from my sister pointing me to an article in the WSJ. Apparently, this is front page news for the WALL STREET JOURNAL (front page of the Pursuits section, but still). Are you freaking kidding me? First of all, if my iPod can cause a rift in my marriage, I am going to have to assume we were probably already headed down the divorce super highway, musical taste aside. Second, if all I needed was validation from a dime-a-dozen gmail account to feel I was ‘officially’ part of a couple, I could have saved my parents, his parents and ourselves a lot of money and time with the wedding planning. Seriously, you have to be kidding me. And how about the guy who gets up early in the morning to change the NetFlix queue in order to secretly get the movies he wants? How about you just say, ‘Wife, I appreciate you want to watch Sleepless in Seattle, and I am totally all for that, but do you think we could also add Attack of the Clones in there as well?’ – I mean, unless you are married to an absolute shrew (and a crazy OCD NetFlix freak) I would imagine this problem is solved. And it certainly doesn’t merit an article in the WSJ.
Not to get on a soap box about relationships, but seriously, no wonder the divorce rate is so high – if this kind of shit is really causing problems in marriages throughout the US, then I really don’t think gay marriage is what is threatening the ‘American Family’. Apparently, the real threat is not knowing how to build a new play list for your iTunes – WAY TO GO STEVE JOBS - Not only did you cripple Bluetooth on your jesus phone, but your interface is destroying marriages – how do you sleep at night?
