Why Men Are Like Buses!

 

 

I have mentioned this quote from a wise woman in one of my other blogs, but I think it worthy of expounding on the analogy.

It’s funny that while I was married to my first husband I did not fully appreciate the wisdom of my first mother-in-law, alas, we live and we learn.

When I was divorcing her son after our eight year long marriage I was having coffee with her while she was paying a visit to see my two sons, her beloved grandchildren, and we were speaking about the difficulties encountered in relationships.  It may have been one of the best conversations we ever had over the years that we were family.

Anyway, I was twenty-nine years old at the time, and she actually did support my decision to divorce her son.

Her sage advice was this, and I quote, “Brigid, men are like buses, you stand on the corner long enough and another one comes along”.  At the time I burst out laughing because I couldn’t believe that she was actually saying this to me!  Her future EX-daughter-in-law! 

Think about it though.

It is true.

Men ARE like buses.
