Those who have no love for children are... unworthy of being called men or women; for they despise the blessing of God, the creator and author of marriage. ↗

Until she says by a look 'Come on' he is always afraid to, and if you never say it, or look it, he never comes. ↗

Revenge writing is a female genre. Men who have been left by women or made cuckolds by rivals either lick their wounds in humiliated silence or start the Trojan Wars. Having no other power or public voice, the betrayed woman reaches for her pen. ↗
