Relationship PhobiaA Story by Mark GeorgeIs it possible to overcome relationship phobia? What if you threw a super model into the equation, does that change anything?RELATIONSHIP PHOBIA -You’re getting a divorce? How? Why? Wasn’t she Miss October or something? -Maxim Magazine’s Miss August 2012 “Girls of Summer” contest. -So what happened? Did she cheat on you? -No -Is it drugs? I’ll bet she’s on the pipe? -No -Mental problem? -No -Is she disfigured? Does she have a disease? -No -I’ll bet she has a crazy family. -No, her family is normal and really quite friendly. -Then what the hell is it? Is she a gold-digger? She wants your money, doesn’t she? -It’s none of those. The sad truth is this: she snores. -You’re kidding, right? -Like a combination freight train and cow flatulence! -But she’s a super-model! Have a little flexibility! -I can’t sleep. -Couldn’t you sleep in separate bedrooms or use one of those anti-snoring devices or get some noise-cancelling headphones? Don’t forget…she IS a super-model. -We tried separate bedrooms as well as all those devices, and the sound still penetrates! -Get some ear plugs, man! She’s freakin’ Miss August, 2012! -Tried ‘em. But you know, we haven’t tried counseling. Maybe we could get some answers there. -Now you’re talking. I think the marriage is worth salvaging, considering she’s a super-model and all. -She is pretty. Yes, I’ll give counseling a try so we can address the snoring as well as the other big concern I have about her. -And what is that? -Toe-jam. -… -On an unimaginable scale. -… © 2020 Mark George |
