'Putting label on relationship would mean I was cheating on you' man explains

A MAN has explained to a woman he is involved with that giving their relationship a name would make his sleeping with other women a categorically bad thing.

Jack Browne, who has been dating and enthusiastically f**king Lauren Hewitt for eight months, believes that formally becoming boyfriend and girlfriend would have ramifications she has not thought through.

He continued: “It sounds nice, sure, but it means the other women I’m seeing without your knowledge become sluts that I’m cheating on you with, which feels unfair and frankly misogynistic.

“As a feminist, I believe we should have a more modern approach to dating. This isn’t the 1950s. And you’re fully entitled to sleep with other people, although you’re not, I’ve never mentioned it before and if you did I’d end it.

“Let’s just keep this fun, by which I mean I shouldn’t be restricted in my behaviour at all. Unhappy about it? I’m disappointed. I thought you were cooler than that.”

Hewitt said: “It’s incredibly that Jack’s protecting me from being trapped in patriarchal structures like monogamy. He’s really putting my interests first.

“But he’s shown he’s ready to take the next step because he’s hinting at moving in to my place when he’s kicked out of his for rent arrears. That’s more important than being called his girlfriend.”

Dad ticking off holiday activities with ruthless efficiency

A DAD on a family holiday is ticking off activities with the cold, mechanical precision of a minor Gestapo official, it has emerged.

40-year-old Martin Bishop arrived at Center Parcs on Saturday and has already completed 14 pre-booked activities including archery, canoeing, pottery painting and a relaxed family bike ride that ended with the children being reprimanded for slowing everyone down.

Wife Jo said: “Martin’s made a spreadsheet with time slots that are colour-coded depending on the category of relaxing activity. It’s updated daily.

“It has a column for equipment required and key deliverables but no space left for joy, spontaneity or even unscheduled toilet breaks. Last night I asked a question and he referred me to Google Drive.

“This morning he’s already asked the kids if they thought he’d brought them on holiday to laze around all day. Yesterday he told them they hadn’t smiled enough in the five permitted photos for each activity and would not be getting puddings.

“The only satisfaction he shows is a tiny smile as he crosses activities off the list, and even that’s as brief as our scheduled lovemaking. Anyway I must go, we’re only allowed 17 minutes for lunch.”

Martin said: “I’ll be glad when this holiday’s out of the way. The good thing about Centre Parcs is it costs as much as a fortnight for a week. Saves a lot of time.”
