Although I'm sure it wasn't funny for you at the time, your anecdote about your divorce made me laugh out loud. Unfortunately for the fairer sex, that's basically what we always hear, as it falls under the old "we only hear what we want to hear".

I can't figure out why its so hard to just say what you mean in life. I think that's why I enjoy writing so much. It gives me an opportunity to really try words out, and think of ways in which my thoughts can be less ambiguous. Often, even short responses on here, I write, then completely delete, then repeat until I find what it is I want to say. In life we don't have that option, so we choose to hide inside ourselves instead of risking making an unfixable blunder.
