Die movie. Die.

So Eat, Pray, Love is about a woman who dumps her husband -- and later her boyfriend -- because she has to take a monumentally expensive trip around the world in order to find herself. Really?

What do you call a man who quits his marriage simply because he's not feelin' it anymore?

A bum.

A scaliwag.

A scoundrel!


Yet a well-off woman can jump ship from a good marriage and get a free pass -- and sometimes even a societal celebration. Maybe a couple of decades ago the story rang true for average-income females stuck in negative relationships with no real options. I get that.

But when your options are either stay in a marriage with people who adore you or take a round-the-world, guru-schmoozing, I-must-find-my-inner-awesome trip... Well, you ma'am are a scoundrel!

A scaliwag.

A bum.

And a more-than-likely tedious presence at parties.

Die movie. Die.

I just watched 'The Box' with Cameron Diaz and Frank Langella. I strongly recommend that you not procure and watch it. Just rack yourself instead.
