My Hubby Says and My Hubby Thinks

I have a friend who told me one day "I am not sure what my feelings are, I will have to ask J." J is her husband, and he is in charge.

He is her third husband, but husband one and husband two were in charge too.
If current husband is a democrat, she is a democrat.
If current husband hates democrats, she hates democrats.
If current husband likes blue, she likes blue.
If current husband hates blue....
Do you see where I am going with this?

All of her emails start with "hubby says".
All of her social media posts start with "My husband thinks...."

I have taken her gently by the hand, and said, "I do not want to know what hubby says. I want to know what YOU say. What do you think?" 

She cannot answer, because hubby has not
told her yet what she can think.

I have been waiting for a long time for her to cut the
strings that hold her, but alas, hubby has hidden all of
the scissors. Even if he gave them to her, she would just race down the road to hubby number four.

Not all my friends are married. Some are still attached to family members who tell them what to think, say, do, etc...

I am laughing as you just blew the lid off the CRUX of it, when she is done she is SO SO SO SO SO SO SO done. It comes out of the bowels of an inner demon and scares the husband, as he has no idea what she is about.

So sad that there are women today who live and breathe everything their husbands say. How does one spark the flame of their own brains so they'll actually use them? You pen the truth.

Sadder yet if they are closely related, shocking you each time, even though it should not. You should resign yourself to disappointment when their mouth opens.
