Watch out, I’m reading again!

Title: “Men Who Can’t Love” by Carter & Sokol (brought as a gift from Miss Spider on her recent visit from Nashville)

Excerpt from chapter titled “The Bitter End of a Commitmentphobic Relationship: These Foolish Things—Commitmentphobic Meorabilia”:

(Page 287 for those keeping notes) Another odd little detail that many women have mentioned: After the relationship is over, the man often refuses, or neglects, to return her belongings. She may, for example, have left articles of clothing or books or records in his apartment… “I’ve tried everything reasonable. I sent a note. I sent him a stamped self-addressed jiffy bag so he could just pop it in the mail. He won’t do it, and I don’t know why.” Here’s why he won’t return your stuff. You know the old saying, “It’s not over until it’s over?” Well, in his twisted, convoluted way of thinking, your belongings are his lifeline to you. He knows it, and he knows you know it. He’s cast you adrift, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that he wants you to land on a foreign shore. Truth told, he would like it if you waited for him. Wait for what? He has no idea. Maybe a bolt of lightning will strike him someday, and he will change his mind. If it does, he has an excuse to get hold of you again. Once again, this is a clear example of his inability to commit—either way.

Sidenote: This book is written by both a man AND a woman. I say, “FUCK YOU AND YOUR NON-COMMITMENT ASS! GIVE ME BACK MY SHIT ALREADY!” God, you make a half-million dollars a year. Asshole.
