The hubby converted to Christianity and then refused to fix the roof, and now the wife wants a d-i-v-o-r-c-e:

Another one that give christians a bad name.......
 Good friend of mine living in Michigan. Her husband has gotten mixed up with the born agains and has been going all "be submissive" on her. She's one fight away from serving him with papers and changing the locks on his born again butt.

So in the middle of the night last night half the living room ceiling falls in - Drywall and insulation EVERYWHERE - and the cold from the outside streaming in to the house --- in the middle of the night ---- in Michigan --- in mid November. That husband never even got out of bed. NEVER EVEN GOT OUT OF BED to pretend he was in the least concerned.

She hops up, checks on the kids, hauls out a ladder and inspects - runs off the Walmart at 3am, buys a tarp and drywall screws - comes home and secures the edges of what's left so the damage isn't worse by morning - figures out a way to get the tarp to stay up there covering the hole to make some attempt at keeping the house warm enough to get through the night.

This morning the born again disappears off to his church meetings until about an hour ago. She let him have it when he got home. His reply? HOW DARE SHE THINK SHE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN GOD - and she should have enough sense to know he has more important things on his agenda for today - that he's happy TO HELP HER fix the ceiling when he has time.


Poor idiot --- tomorrow around lunch time he's going to be telling the people at work he had no idea she was so unhappy that she had to file for divorce.


I share this because the born agains are the primary voting block of the Republican and now Tea Party electorate. This dunce is not extraordinary. He's the same kind of dunce as Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin and Pat Robertson and the rest of them. I don't know if it's brain damage or mental illness or just pure ****ing evil or some of all 3 but the selfishness and self-centeredness makes them impossible to live with .

Oh my.

The smiley roseate primitive is all up in righteous indignation.

[Texacon]

Oh my Lord. 

99% of the DUmp will believe this is a true story.

True or not, it strikes me that the primitives on Skins's island are the last people who can possibly complain about the conduct of other people.

It's like a pig passing judgement on a queen.

I'm surprised no one has taken her to task for shopping at Wal Mart.

How soon they forget....a woman can do anything a man can do... a woman has equal rights.... blah-blah-blah.....OK bitch, along with equal rights come equal responsibilities....so you get out there in the rain and the cold and fix the roof....don't even try pulling that "But that's a man's job" shit on me.....

[littlelamb]

Sounds like a spoiled princess to me if it is true

H5!

There are no feminists on a sinking ship.

So in the middle of the night last night half the living room ceiling falls in - Drywall and insulation EVERYWHERE.

Like this just "happened" out of the blue, no sagging ceiling, no low spots in the roof, no leaks, etc.   

Yeah, right!

She hops up, checks on the kids, hauls out a ladder and inspects - runs off the Walmart at 3am, buys a tarp and drywall screws - comes home and secures the edges of what's left so the damage isn't worse by morning - figures out a way to get the tarp to stay up there covering the hole to make some attempt at keeping the house warm enough to get through the night.

All by herself?  Doubtful. 

I'd be hard pressed to do this alone, besides, if it was just the ceiling and not the roof, WHY BOTHER!  If it was the roof and the ceiling, maybe it's a good time to consider a new address, or renting a bulldozer.

Lurking DUmbasses,a question for you.

Why is it that conservatives don`t have to make up stories to show evil liberals/socialists and then allude all are as illustrated?

Bet it never occurs to you that you have to do that because the arguments for leftist doctrine are vacant and hollow,ones for conservatism can be clearly stated with facts and historical evidence so we don`t need tripe like this to prove our point.

They are 100% willing to drop any of the "rights" they loudly proclaim to beleive in if it means they get to tell one of their little lame bouncy's.

[NHSparky]

Lazy ass never got out of bed?  Sounds like the HUSBAND is the DUmmie, not the wife.

[Celtic Rose]

Bingo.  If there is any shred of truth in this story (which I consider doubtful) then that right there tells me that they guy is lazy, and he may be using religion to get out of work, but it certainly isn't the cause of their marital issues. 

[Karin]

When I was a kid, we'd play this game called Post Office or Operator.  One kid would make up something, whisper it into the ear of the next kid, who did the same, and so on till it got to the last kid.  He'd say what it was, and hilarity ensued on seeing how different it was.  This is what happened here. 

The wife couldn't possibly have secured all that stuff all by herself.  It was her perception that she was doing yeoman's work, far beyond the call and duty of a hausfrau.  She complained about the episode to her friends with this perspective, and a bouncy is born.  Nothing to do with Christianity, pretty lame to bring that obvious Joe Webster reference into it.

Hey Smileybitch,.....next time you make up a bong story, try to make it a little bit more believable, ok?!?
Smiley says she's not sure if it's brain damage, mental illness or just pure evil to describe the "born agains". She also goes on to say that those are the people behind the Tea Party candidates and the republicans.
Wow, the irony here. Hey DUmmie, you pretty much just described yourself and your fellow DUmmies to a "t". (I would throw the libtards in that group as well. )

I could do that all by myself too.  Then again I am not a DUmmy so I know how to do actual work.  If the story is true, which I doubt, the husband is a douchebag, born again or not. 

NOTE TO LURKING DUMMIES... Born again doesn't mean that you are now perfect, it means you have accepted Christ as your savior.  When a Christian makes a mistake, that doesn't mean Christians as a whole are just like that person.  Just like you would like us not to lump all members of "the religion of peace" together because a majority of them want us all dead.

[blitzkrieg_17]

How long did it take to come up with this concocted story? I'm not going to even bother to rate it.

[delilahmused]

This is stupid in so many ways I almost don't know where to start. I'm guessing that being born again is what made him unable to do home repairs? So if he hadn't become "born again" he'd be the one running out to Walmart at 3:00 in the morning? Do these people even KNOW any Christians? Because they have no idea what the hell they're talking about. This is a gigantic failure. Huge. Like stupid enough to stick a Q-tip in your eye to clean your ear stupid. Then again, maybe God told him not to get out of bed because his wife was such a ****ing ball-breaking bitch she didn't need any help to do a man's job and since she planned on getting a divorce anyway she might just as well get used to doing this kind of thing on her own anyway.

When hubby and I got married we had an agreement, I clean the house, do the laundry, grocery shop and cook, hubby takes care of the outside of the house and all repairs, and I like it! Every once in a while we change it up and I hang a picture or use a screwdriver and he cooks something, not often though.

My point exactly.  Did she get a tarp to cover the hole in the ceiling?

It was in the living room.  Why would you need a tarp to cover a mess if it was the ceiling?  Roof, perhaps, ceiling, no.

Husband is a double douchebag, 1 for not checking on the kids, another for allowing the house to get that way in the first place.  Ceilings don't "just fall", there is something going on that causes it, usually a water leak in the roof or an upstairs bathroom.  Sagging and bulging drywall is a dead giveaway that SOMETHING is not right.

You know, that's sortta like the deal my mother and father had. She got a job once when they were first married and worked a few weeks. Daddy told her to quit her job. He said if she would make him a home, he'd make us a living. Her domain was inside the backdoor and his was outside the backdoor. There was seldom any discussion between the two of how each was running their side of the backdoor.
