I’m sure by now you’ve all heard about Lisa Nowak, the astronaut who was charged with attempted murder and kidnapping. But in case you haven’t, let’s do a quick rundown of the situation:
Lisa Nowak, 43, a married mother of three and an astronaut, drove 900 miles in diapers to confront Colleen Shipman, whom Lisa thought was romantically involved with William Oefelein, a fellow astronaut with whom Lisa was having an affair. Nowak was armed with pepper spray, a BB-gun, a steel mallet, 1 garbage bag, a knife and rubber tubing.
Now, how crazy does one have to be to wear Depends, not wanting to stop for restroom breaks, and drive from Houston to Florida to confront some woman who was allegedly seeing the same dude that you’re having an affair with?
And my gripe isn’t with just Lisa. What about a couple of months ago when the female skydiver in Belgium plunged to her death because some woman, who was allegely seeing the same man as she, tampered with her parachute?
And even in my own city, a middle school teacher has been charged with the murder of a pregnant woman. The teacher had been involved in an affair with a fellow teacher, who was engaged to the pregnant woman. Now crimes of passion are nothing new. We hear about them all the time, but what the fuck is going on?
Is the dick that damn good? And why are you confronting the other woman? Why are none of these people even taking the time to talk to the man with whom they have been involved with? In the majority of these cases, the men are coming off like they’ve done nothing wrong, when the woman is winding up the nutcase.
And I know there are some crazy ass men doing the same thing, *cough cough* Scott Peterson *cough cough* and others, but please, please, please………….get yo shit together! I don’t want anyone to love me that much. Don’t love me to the point that it’s clouding your judgement that if you can’t have me, no one else can.

The world has totally flipped miss Nikki. Some of my trysts have been interesting enough, but I’ve been lucky not to have 1 woman go after another just to have me all to herself or for plain ol’ retribution.
But you hit on a very good point. Many men do come off unscathed while the women involved go all out to the point of death sometimes. I don’t think it has anything to do with the dick per se’, as much as it has to do with one woman treading over another woman’s space. 900 miles huh? Dayum!

I blame it on global warming. No, but for real, I wish there was a clear cut answer for why women are losing their damn minds. It can’t be that much of a male shortage.

LMMFAO @ Melette! That global warming remark was classic!

I can imagine her actually getting away with it, then telling her lover what she did. I can also imagine him trying to get a job transfer and move in the middle of the night.

seriously, i hate that some women never spread the blame fairly. and frankly, i could never get so caught up where i lose my mind. awhile back, i did consider driving out of town with my louisville slugger and some other things to take care of business. the dude was gonna catch hell! thank heaven i came to my senses.

This woman is separated, but still married. I don’t know how she can have dibs on this other man who is not her husband. I just feel sorry for this woman’s kids.
