How about mini-horses? I hear farmers call them "goddamn hay burners."

There is a difference between being vulnerable and sabotaging the relationship. Sex is an opportunity for an orgasm; sharing vulnerable feelings is an opportunity for intimacy – which do you want.

Nope Chris,
I'm just an older broken-down partly disabled ex-paratrooper who made the transition from airborne infantry to high tech executive in the 38 years since I went to boot camp after being drafted and then sent to Vietnam.

Penelope had been interesting at one time. I had been asking her for her thoughts and ideas on helping those of us with Asperger Syndrome adjust to dealing with people in the workplace and making the most of our skills and inclinations. Sadly, it appears that this will never happen.

You need to get some help, some time off, a deep breath. Awhile back met some folks from your kids' school, and several said they were holding their breath waiting for the last explosion that gets you the heck away from their community. You scare them; always on the ragged edge of losing it, so condecendingly and repeatedly making sure to remind them that you are not like them, you are not truly a Madison area mom. You don't seem to see how you are in the world; have no true-ish mirror. That's not generational, it's manic disassociation.

I have to agree with post #1. I have been reading Penelope forever, started when she was on Bankrate, but this post pretty much does it for me. I found it way too personal. While admit that the current culture trend is for nothing to be personal anymore I really fail to see how this should be filed under 'Career' other than Penelope's life is her career and that somehow makes me sad.
The phrase 'reality is stranger than fiction' sums it up for me and the word sensationalism comes to mind.

So long Penelope, I wish you the best.

I can hear Penelope shouting at the top of her mind, "GO AWAY CLOSER!"

I'm going to have to agree with Rebecca. You two are a train wreck waiting to happen. I think the farmer is a great guy and you're a great woman, just totally completely wrong for each other.

You want to change him (new kitchen), he resists. He irritates you with his primness and cheap behavior, even now (while the sex is still good) just wait!

Your city-style neuroses are going to drive him into stony cold craziness and you won't even know where he disappeared to.

Penelope, you need to figure out what it is about you that self-destructs (hint: it's your subconscious screaming "GET OUT FOOL") before you take on a serious relationship or you just going to repeat bad marriage #1.

Sorry to be so harsh…
