Nick and Zuzu by Nick Galifianakis for November 04, 2020

My ex-wife thought I was her “project.” That’s why she is my ex-wife.

When I met my husband, most attractive thing about him was his 100% acceptance of who I was without needing to change or fix anything.

A mutual aberration society.

Both projecting the need for change on the other.

But, let a woman in your life / And your serenity is through / She’ll redecorate your home, from the cellar to the dome / And then go on to the enthralling fun of overhauling you.

Let a woman in your life / And you’re up against a wall / Make a plan and you will find she has something else in mind / And so rather than do either, you do something else that neither likes at all.

— Frederick Loewe & Alan Jay Lerner for My Fair Lady, 1964

Full disclosure: Never having married (for which forbearance on my part I’m sure many women thank the gods daily), I have no idea how true or false the above may be. I post it only as a wittily poetic expression of how at least some of my fellow men feel.

I’m a woman and i have to agree that ditty is often true.

kind of cute, actually.
