I liked that Budweiser commercial and sent the link to my sons.

I wonder if “Married Man”‘s mother was divorced at the time she was abusive to him ? I was divorced when my oldest son was 13. He is now 42 and can barely stand to be around his mother. She became very anti-male and I believe this was harmful to our daughter. She was a bit that way before the divorce and her favorite saying was “It’s my mission in life to keep you humble.”

Ironically, we are now friends 30 years later and have discussed our divorce and the reasons why it happened. Our sons, who are very masculine, are tolerant of her but she has paid a price for her male-bashing.
