Just when you think you're in a solid marriage the proverbial rug gets pulled out from under your feet.
Take these two 'husbands' who had a date with history today:
1. On this day in 1919, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi was born. He would become the last Shaw of Iran. He became the Shaw in 1941. In 1958 he divorced his wife, Princess Soraya. A year later he married a former 'shepherdess,'Farah Dibah.
On his birthday (again this day) in 1967, he crowned himself King and his second wife Queen and declared today to be "the National Day of Iran". However, in 1979 the Islamic Fundamentalists drove him out and he fled into exile.
2. The Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party, Jeffery Archer, resigned today after allegations that he had paid a prostitute to leave the country and thereby avoid a scandal. He successfully denied the allegations and won a libel suit.
Perhaps that fact your husband forgot to pick up the loaf of bread tonight doesn't seem so bad now - when you take a look the human condition over history.
