TOO MUCH IMPROVEMENT
A husband and wife met with a marriage counselor about their irrevocable differences. The husband explained, “Ever since we were married, my wife has set out to change me. She convinced me to stop smoking, drinking, and staying out all night at parties. She got me to dress well, enjoy the art, fine dining, classical music, ballet. She even taught me to save money and to invest my savings.” The counselor considered all these sudden changes and then suggested, “It sounds like you may be experiencing latent bitterness toward your wife for so many behavioral changes at one time.” The husband disagreed with the counselor. “Oh no, not at all. I like the changes. It’s just that I have improved in so many ways that now I think I am too good for this plain woman.”
