Going to Jail for Adultery

A couple of weeks ago, Korean actress Ok So Ri made headlines for being on trial for adultery. After admitting in court to the affair, Ok So Ri took the case to the South Korean Constitutional Court in an attempt to overturn the country's anti-adultery law. The law was enacted fifty years ago to protect women who had few rights in a male-dominated country. However, critics claim that the statute is no longer fit for Korea's modern society with advanced civil and family court systems. Furthermore, some view the anti-adultery law as a means of revenge by the scorned spouse. Three days ago, the verdict came in: the request to overturn the law was denied and Ok So Ri was sentenced to two...

Happy Six Month Anniversary

Thank you, hubby, for planning such a wonderful six month anniversary. Even after almost 5 years of being together, I still find it difficult to suppress a smile whenever we're walking down a street together and you suddenly grab my hand. Time and again, I am reminded that this is how Angela Chase must've felt when Jordan Catalano held her hand for the first time:I know it's immature and dorky, but it just wouldn't be like your wife if it weren't.I love you, for every reason and for no reason at all. ...

Feeling Unattractive

I think every girl has those days when she feels Jabba-esque. You know what I'm talking about. When all your outfits make you look fat. When no amount of concealer will hide the dark circles under your eyes. When your hair refuses to acquiesce to endless styling and products. Lately I've been having more of these days, mainly due to my lopsided face. It's subtle, but I can tell the difference, and when the owner isn't feelin' it the body tends not to cooperate. "Do you think I'm ugly?" This is the question dreaded by men all over the world. How do you respond to that? What if your girlfriend or wife does in fact, look like shit that day? Lucky for me, J always has the perfect answer to that...

Relationship Advice

I read this on Dooce today and I just had to share. In a guest post by Sarah Brown (of Que Sera Sera) titled The Three Best Bits of Relationship Advice I've Ever Been Given, advice #2 states: 2. From Maggie Mason: "When I was single, I decided I wouldn't marry a man unless I could be proud if we had a son who turned out exactly like him." This can apply to men as well - don't marry a woman unless you could be proud of you had a daughter who turned out just like her. How true. ...

How I Met Him

I have been married for a a month and a half now, and realized I've never written about how I met my husband. J and I attended the same university. He was quite the ladies' man in his college years, so he had already established a reputation by the time I entered school. In fact, I had heard about him before ever meeting him in person. Our first time meeting face to face was at a party during my freshmen year (he was a senior). He tried to hit on me, and I ran away. Of course, he swears he doesn't recall this incident at all. Fast forward a few years. I had taken a couple of years off and just returned to school....
