YAY Felice! It appears even in 2011 some guys still think of wives as
personal slaves.

When I was married I'd work a full day at the office, then come home and
cook dinner. And he wouldn't bother to call and tell me if he was eating
somewhere else, usually his mother's house, and not because she was a
wonderful cook. (I still can't get the image of that soupy "dressing" she
served at Thanksgiving out of my head.) So except to make a little
something for myself, I stopped cooking dinner. I'd worked all day. I was
tired. I figured if he couldn't bother to call I wasn't going to slave in
the kitchen hoping he'd show up. There's the kitchen. Knock yourself out.
