...world of weight loss. Casting guilty glances in the direction of Gloria Steinem's memoirs, I empathized utterly with Bridget's quest for a man who is, as she so eloquently put it, "utterly and completely shaggable" - and I understood completely when she fell apart after a particularly humiliating breakup...

...another Florida case, restaurateur Dennis Max, following one extramarital fling, signed an agreement in which he promised that if he strayed again and caused a breakup, his wife Patti would get $50,000 for every year they had been together, plus all their property.

Joel Weissman, the attorney who represents both Florida wives, argues that such clauses are a justifiable way to make spouses pay for violating their marriage vows.
