Happy Valentine's Day From 'The New York Post'
As any first year J-school student knows, three is a trend. (This is taught in Charticles and Loosely Related Factoids 101: Writing for the Front of the Book.)
Maybe it's Valentine's Day coming, or perhaps it's this report from last week's The Daily News, but New York Post, seems to have divorce and adultery on the brain today.
First, readers of the Post's Website are greeted with the above request for sexy stories about cheating. Anonymity is guaranteed (-ish), we're sure.
Next up is Bill Hoffmann's DIVORCE QUIZ, which asks, among other questions:
- Romance is still part of our relationship
- My partner appreciates the things I do
- My partner likes my personality
- Our sex life is mostly satisfying
- At the end of the day my partner is glad to see me
- My partner is one of my best friends
- We just love talking to each other
Yeah, we're so sure anyone can answer those in the affirmative.
Finally, the Entertainment section profiles REAL-LIFE 'HOUSEWIVES' who are, get this, 'desperate'! Take "Mrs. E" (wife of Mr. E?):
Meet Mrs. E, an English teacher and mom of four who visits a hot-sheets motel weekly with a man she met on a commuter train - and credits the romps with keeping her sexless marriage together.
She still loves her husband, but as a "brother," and says she feels no guilt about the affair that "makes me feel alive and has done so much to enrich my life."
Ah, love. It warms the cold, shriveled pieces of coal where our hearts used to be.
