I think a lot of my earlier angst had to do with my very traditional views on marriage and how things were supposed to work . What would people think if he didn ' t wear his ring ? I was very insecure in the early years of our relationship and never spoke up when I didn ' t think things were right . My fault , I know , but I ' m trying to acknowledge my part in the downfall of our relationship . If it weren ' t for the billions of ways he took me for granted and destroyed our marriage I wouldn ' t have thought twice about it . I totally understand what you mean by this . <| sep |> Well , Bill Clinton set the precedent . Or does fucking an intern not count all of a sudden ? <| sep |> Unions help prop up wages for employees in a given field even the nonunion employees . It is known . There are no federal protections over raises just a minimum wage floor .
