Why men marry bitches

published: 2008-09-10

A woman who must have been about fourty-five, lay in the park reading a book entitled 'Why Men Marry Bitches'. The word 'BITCHES' was written in a bold, bright red font. The woman reading this book wore white bermudas. The colour of her toenails matched that of the word 'bitches'. As did her lipstick and fingernails. While turning a page, her lips tightened in defiance.
I wondered whether she had been married for a while and was looking for consolation: it was his fault she had become a bitch, not hers. Or whether she had never found the right man and wanted confirmation that men married bitches as opposed to someone wonderful like her. Or maybe she was reading it as a self-help book and hoping to become a bitch so she could find a man.
