I wanted to personally thank you for marrying me, knocking me up, beating me while I was pregnant, then cheating on me for three years. You truly are everything I don’t want our son to be. Thanks for bouncing and having him not know you. Yes, we are fine without you, and yes, he’s better off without you. And for the record: You weren’t any good, your dick was small, and you smelled like a pervert. 
I, Anonymous
Thanks for Being an Absent Father

Um…small dick, smelled like a pervert, (What does that smell like, anyway? I’m worried.) and you not only stuck around with him for three years, but you helped perpetuate his gene pool?
I hate pervert odor
Well said. The “ideal” is one thing. In many cases, however, kids are much better off without both a mother and a father.
One weird, infeffectual parent down, one to go. You can do it, kid, we’re rooting for you.
When he proposed to you, I’m assuming he asked you to marry him, couldn’t you just say “No Thanks, smelly perv.”
Is the small penis thing the only insult women can come up with, or what?
You married him. His dick must have been ok with you at the time.
Look, lady. Glenn Beck has responsibilties at home. Quit your whining.
What is it with all the negativity? She’s venting, let her vent! Jeez!
Isn’t the pervert smell called patchouli?
Yes, your son is better off without him. But why did it take you so long to figure that out? For the first three years of his life, your son was a witness to domestic abuse. How could you have allowed that to happen? You should have left the first time he hit you.
Don’t whine about being a victim. You are much more capable of protecting yourself than your son is. Kids count on their parents to protect them from stuff like that. Most of the fault lies with the abuser but I’m so sick of society letting these weak women who don’t protect their own kids off the hook.
I suggest you get some counseling to make sure you don’t make the same mistake again. Your boy is counting on you!
BTW, what does a pervert smell like? I just can’t figure that one out!
Perverts smell like Old Spice and Soy sauce…
If this is some sort of reverse psychology to get your husband back, I don’t think it’s going to work.
I think this chick should be a lot madder than she is. There’s an undertone of complacency here.
Actually, the term is almost 20 years old. Kurt Cobain’s working title was Smells Like Pervert, until Bruce Pavitt suggested he use “Teen Spirit” instead of “Pervert.” The rest is history.
I smell like pervert and I’m offended by the comparison.
oh GAWD quit with the preachin, #10, and quit stating the obvious. Are all your decsions good ones? She learned a lesson. Now STFU and leave her be.
I am a pervert and I smell delightful, thanks to Jo Malone. And as I don’t have a whoopsie the size of a cave, teeny tiny penii do me just fine.
Yet you picked him…You elected to spend three years with him.You thought breathing his pervert stank was hot shit for three years..Stop your whining about your bad choices and your lousy decisions..No one wants to attend your self-pity party..

Perverts smell like whiskey sweat and unwashed, cum-stained polyester slacks.
#21: Right on! That’s why I drink rum.
Hey you bunch of holier-then-thou fuckwits.
She left him!
Ever been a beaten wife who is financially and emotionally dependent on an increasingly abusive asshole?
Ever felt like you actually had NO OTHER CHOICE but to put up with it?
Well, leaving isn’t easy.
Perhaps you all should take off the retro shades and pop out the ear buds and have a look outside your special little twenty-something whitebread bubble.
Or just have a look back in 10 years and tell us how fucking special you are, and what great choices you always made.
She left him.
Good on you, sister.
Ummm, hey #23, she doesn’t say she left him. She says he bounced. That’s different.
Weak women piss me off.
#23 you need to re-read the paragraph for comprehension.
She didn’t leave him, he bounced.
At least in my whitebread bubble I can understand a 5 sentence paragraph. What’s your excuse?
@23: “Ever been a beaten wife who is financially and emotionally dependent on an increasingly abusive asshole?”
No. Does this mean I can’t comment here, or that if do comment, I have to say something nice?
Its cool.. one parent builds character
For those of you who continue to insist on commenting after every I, Anonymous article, have you ever wondered if perhaps you don’t get the point of this column in the first place?
Pssst…. Monkwild– IA serves two purposes. One is for people to get embarrassing/angry/malevolent stuff off their chests. The other purpose is for Stranger readers to feel superior by condemning the writers. So let Spiffy et al. have their fun. They all have crappy jobs/family/spouses & this makes them feel alive. Have a heart!
you could have broken up with him.
you could have not married him.
you could have gotten on birth control.
you could have got an abortion.
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE YOU DUMB BITCH
psssst #29 – another purpose of commenting is to shred dumbass generalizing mischaracterizing comments such as yours.
and perhaps some of us are simply seeking a few moments of harmless entertainment?
#30 – right on.
At least she didn’t call him a prevert.
looks like ol spiffy d is fired up over this one! got riled up in 24, stewed for 15 minutes, then wrote almost the exact same post again. no wonder you chose segal for your pic spif, you’re one dangerous mutha!
You weren’t any good, your dick was small, and you smelled like a pervert.
And yet, he made you so hot that you threw your legs wide open and begged him impregnate you. BTW, how do you know what a pervert smells like? Are they handing out “pervert scented” scratch and sniff cards at walmart these days?
Copious amounts of Axe body spray?
Taco Bell and Swisher Sweets.
Wow, way to not take any responsibility for yourself. You sound just like my mother, with her “poor me” victim mentality. So you made your mistakes, now get over it and move on. And don’t lecture your kid about how horrible his dad is, because teaching children to hate just destroys them for your own selfish satisfaction.
to take away the heat on the mom posting this, i was born a bastard to a nonexistent dad, with a ca-ra-zay loon as a mom, and i turned out just fine; everyone deserves a mom and a dad = ridiculous. your life is what you make it. not to make this all existentialist, but this kid totally has a chance, if he doesn’t fall down his mom’s resentful rabbit hole.
I once heard a neighbor yell at the top of her lungs “you have a tiny penis and you cum too fast” for all the hood to hear. He beat her, the cops came took him away, he was back the next morning after she pawned the VCR. I’m just saying…
Sorry growler. I didn’t mean to post the same thing twice but my CPU was fritzing so I was thinking the first one didn’t go thru. The mere thought of one of my awesome comments not being posted is too horrible to comtemplate.
#38 – I agree with you completely, although with your screen name of “stainer” it begs the question of whether you turned out just fine.
Sometimes, when people are in abusive relationships, they can’t see that they’re in them because they’re partner spends a lot of time and energy convincing them that they are worthless and therefore deserving of the abuse. It’s not about being weak. Abusers are also manipulators, and they are not abusive all the time, It’s not as easy as one might think to “just leave”. It’s called “the cycle of abuse” for a reason.
oops, their
The time to kick someone to the curb is the very first time they put unfriendly hands on you. Domestic violence tends to escalate and while there is always a “first time” for one partner to be violent towards the other (not talking about consensual acts here)that first event is very, very rarely the last.
This woman’s mistake was in not bailing at the very first opportunity after the very first time he behaved abusively…. but I’m glad he’s out of the child’s life.
Now, she needs to petition the courts for a severence of parental rights.
I propose we have a contest to describe what a pervert smells like. I think “Taco Bell and Swisher Sweets” is a strong contender. My entry: BenGay and Mikes Hard Lemonade. Though I hear Michael Jackson smelled of Ozone and talcum powder.
#41 you make a good point. but when a baby enters into the equation it becomes larger than yourself. that kid is helpless and depends on you for protection. for the sake of the kid and yourself you need to get the fuck out of the situation however you can. sure, that’s easier said than done.
I wonder if female perverts smell any different or better than males? Hmmmmm. Must ponder this. I believe a sniff-test is in order.
Reading these comments, I don’t understand Seattle’s reputation as being bleeding heart liberal. You all sound like a bunch of privileged white republicans to me. You might as well be saying, “Hey homeless people, just go get jobs!” Or “Hey, gangsters, just quit your gangs.” Because it’s all just that easy, right?
I grew up next door to a woman with three kids who’s husband chased her out into the driveway with a shotgun and beat their toddler with a belt in front of their kitchen window. She stayed with him because she simply couldn’t afford to leave, since she was a stay-at-home mom. Also, she was afraid for her safety if she were to try to leave. Who knows why this I Anon woman stayed? Maybe she was afraid if she left, he’d kill her?
Congrats on the “Taco Bell and Swisher Sweets” definition. It made me laugh and shudder at the same time. That has to be the Essence of Perv.
Whoa there Spiffy!
Buck up little guy, and don’t get so wild.
Breath… and ask yourself: “what would Steven do?”
He would do some swift Aikido action on perv-dick-BOUNCE-dad and rescue the “weak” girl.
And if she was a hot Inuit broad (read Asian) he might even save her people.
We are not perfect creatures, and life is a journey of learning.
It bodes well for us to practice compassion toward those who are struggling and suffering on that journey.
And when they stand up and get angry about 1) having been abused and 2) having stuck around so long, they are beginning to heal and to change (we hope).
Perhaps they are asking to celebrate that change with them.
They might just do the same for us one day, yeah?
Oh, and if you don’t like weak broads, just don’t fuck them.
Oh, HELL no, #46.
Beat her toddler with a belt? Sorry, you lost me there.
I stayed in an abusive relationship for 3 years, because I wanted to be home and raise my two baby girls until I thought they were old enough to be in full time daycare. I took it because I was the one who had picked him, and they shouldn’t have to pay the consequences of my bad judgment, and to me, dropping my infants in daycare for 9 hours a day was not in their best interest. The father was never, EVER abusive towards them, or even aggressive toward me around them, because he knew that would be where everything changed, instantly.
What exactly was the neighbor afraid of? What do you mean, she feared for her safety “if she tried to leave?” They were all in danger right in their home! What could possibly have been worse than being chased by a lunatic with a shotgun, or watching her young children viciously attacked? And where did her duty to protect those children that she brought into the world come in?
I’m sorry you think that’s judgmental, but you know what? I was there, and my way out was to take responsibility for the innocent people I brought into it. I would have killed a man who tried to whip my baby.
And yes, I do consider myself to be very liberal. But even liberals have responsibilities.
It’s cool Monkwild. I don’t fuck weak broads, I married a strong one.
Regarding perv odor, in my experience they smell like beef jerky and the west wing of the downtown Seattle Public Library.
