read the bit in bridget jones about the smug married dinner party
i love the bit where she is asked by a friend with a truly dreadful husband how she copes with being single and she thinks "because frankly if i had to get into bed with him just once, never mind every night for the rest of my life, i'd tear off my own head and eat it".

then skip home to your lovely peaceful pad and thank fuck you're not married to some hairy belching farting stinking snoring tool!
