sg_lab2What is it with women particularly in sitcoms expecting the men in their lives to know exactly what they want without even telling them? Or expecting them to know they really want the opposite of what they explicitly say?
I was watching Hot in Cleveland tonight. Emmitt was trying to propose to Victoria and the usual hijinks ensued, (temporary missing engagement ring) and the wrong woman got the ring thinking her boyfriend was proposing to her. When it turned out the boyfriend wasn't proposing to her, she got angry expecting him to know that she wanted to get married after waiting seventeen years when they had agreed they didn't need to get married. She had told him she didn't need to be married. How the hell was he suppose to read her mind and know that she really wanted to marry when that's the complete opposite of what she said?
Seventeen years together she waits? And then the show treats it like we should feel sorry for her when all I can think is how pathetic she is for waiting seventeen years for something she said she didn't even want!
