But, seriously girls, I AM NOT MARRIED!!! I HAVE NEVER BEEN MARRIED. I HAVE NO INTENTION OF EVERY GETTING MARRIED. "It shocks me that women keep saying 'your wife'... and can't get it through their heads there IS NO wife. Never has been. Never will be. "Women are finally FREE. You live in the 21st Century. You DON'T HAVE TO BE MARRIED, if you don't want to. So ladies, I say this again, I AM NOT MARRIED."
