Your "better half"

[April]

I wonder where that saying came from.

What if the other "half" isn't better?

Half. As if you aren't a whole person in and of yourself. Or only complete when in a relationship. I think it's complete bullshit. Societal conditioning to comply and play along with what everyone else does. Peer pressure.

Herd beasts.


Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


That said, my "other half" is the better person in many ways.

Perhaps it's an acknowledgment that it's the 'better half' who's more fun in bed.

I mean, who would you rather have sex with - you are your better half?

I don't use the term, "better half" unless I am joking with someon about their SO.

No, it does imply that we are lacking in some way.

And frankly, how often is the "better half" really better?

Well, unless they are better for having us in their lives!

I wonder where that saying came from.

Cause saying 'my no good, stupid ass of a life partner' just doesn't roll off the tongue nicely. Heh

I wonder where that saying came from.

It comes from the concept that two people join in union to become one "unit".

Y'know, I've heard the StudMuffin and his family refer to me as his "better half" but I've never called him that personally. I think some people get too into all the cleave unto one another shit. I cleave, but I reserve the right to uncleave and do something by myself, even if it's just flicking boogers at the Victoria's Secret display in the mall. Bastards claim they have a 36D. Bullshit, that's a C-cup playing make me feel better games.

We're not attached at the hip. Of course, living with the StudMuffin sometimes gives the siamese twin vibe.

I so heart you. But be careful. I ragged on a Vic model the other day and was accused of being insecure. Are you insecure Muffy?

I think the term better half is propaganda to make you think you have to be in a relationship to be complete. It's total bullshit.

Hubby's definitely the better person. He's just not half of anything though.

He's not moody, resentful, profanity spewing, and humanity hating.

Flicking boogers at the VC models? Sounds like fun.
