Negotiations

by Jan Niessen

At what point does a man’s dignity diminish? Maybe it’s when he vows to honor his spouse. For me it happened when I agreed to give up my last name, and take on hers. My wife Connie is highly demanding. When it appears our marriage has reached its end, a startling incident occurs. By learning of my woes maybe you would agree…life would be better off with Connie out of the picture for good.
