Some translations for men
My ex is controlling: I am a cheat. My ex is bitter: I am incapable of linking cause and effect. My ex is crazy: I treat women poorly. My ex took me for everything I had: she received an amount commensurate with her contribution to our marriage. My ex won't let me see the kids, though I pay through the nose: I think maintenance payments ought to work like a VIP concert ticket, where you buy access to the performance, irrespective of my failings as a parent. You're different to other birds: I believe women are more or less interchangeable.
from Sea State by Tabitha Lasley (2021, 4th Estate) I really liked this book, btw. The author has a deep fascination with men, and all-male environments. Even when this fascination draws her towards men she'd probably knows it is best to avoid, on a subconscious level she can't really help herself – and to her credit it makes a great memoir.
