It’s fair to say that my marital history is punctuated with a number of ups and downs.
I am pleased to say that I am (now) on good terms with my first (ex) wife but even I was surprised when she asked me if I would consider “helping out” i.e. assisting financially with her Boob Job.
My initial reply was; what’s in it for me?
Obviously I am no longer privy to said breasts and although I found the idea intriguing there wasn't really an upside. Since then though I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time thinking about it and have drawn a number of comparisons:
Imagine you separate with someone and 13 years later they telephone you and say;
“Remember that couch we bought when we got married, the one you used to love sitting on?”
“Well it needs recovering and given that a lot of the damage to the upholstery was caused by you I was wondering if you’d like to contribute to getting it recovered”
“Oh and you’ve got no input into what colour the new upholstery will be and once it’s done you’re welcome to look at it but you can’t sit on it”
For the record I said no.
I’m sure I’ll be doing some re upholstering of my own any time soon and my current furniture is very comfortable.
