The Smoking Gun gives us an example of Husbandly Expectations Gone Wild (scroll down).
I understand the need to be clear about certain things in a marriage, but Travis Frey’s demands of his wife, like a specifically-sized patch of pubic hair and the insistence that only wear thong underwear, is just … micromanaging. As Treifalicious asks, where’d she meet this guy craigslist?
Needless to say, Mrs. Frey didn’t sign it. Maybe that’s why he had to kidnap her. Freak.
Good thing when El Yenta Man and I drew up our own ketubah, the sacred Jewish marriage agreement to protect the wife’s rights in the home, we made sure it was a document spelling out equality and respect for each other. Yup, there it is, in a mahogany frame with our signatures hanging over the dresser, all in Hebrew.
Damn I wish I’d added in those secret “No snoring” and “I will not say anything that could be construed as inflammatory, argumentative or insensitive during your menstrual cycle” clauses.
