A male reader. I encourage its political incorrectness:

“I’m afraid it is true, though, as the old saying goes, that every man nurses the dream of going to bed with a beautiful woman and waking up alone…..” The thought is incomplete: “….with the smell of frying bacon and brewing coffee wafting into the room.” It’s all a matter of WHY you’re waking up alone.

A few other male readers fondly remember their own experiences of waking up alone because of their wives’ morning sickness (their wives, while appreciating the sentiment, probably don’t remember those mornings in particular fondly…).
