Take a good look at the picture up top. Mom. Kids. Hanging out on a Saturday, like a family. But where’s dad? At the office? A strip club? None of the above. He’s working out, which is why mom wants to divorce and/or kill him.
Dad– Jordan Waxman, a private banking executive at Merrill Lynch– you see, is out exercising because that’s what he does during most of his waking hours, every morning before work and every night after and every weekend afternoon. This does not make mom- Caren Waxman- very happy, and the two chose to discuss their problems in a recent Journal article about people who hate their spouses.
The exercise widow often wakes to an empty bed—a sure sign of a morning workout—and may find dinner plans spoiled by a sudden avoidance of anything heavy before a night run. Hoping for an hour of television or catching-up before bedtime? Forget it: All that early-morning exercise takes its toll. Mr. Waxman arrives home from the office after his children, ages 11, 10 and 8, have eaten dinner, and he hits the sack before they do. “I’m out of gas by nine o’clock,” Mr. Waxman says. His exercise regimen intensified about seven years ago, eventually hitting two hours each weekday and up to five or six hours each Saturday and Sunday.
“A lot of wives in my position would have left,” Ms. Waxman says.
And Jordan, do you have anything to say about that?
“It’s selfish,” concedes Mr. Waxman, 46. He says he leaves notes for his wife and children before leaving for morning workouts.
It sounds like you get it, but do you really get it, Jordan? Your wife doesn’t think so. In fact, she thinks you’ve got a serious problem and she knows this because she’s the one who gets the calls that you’re passed out naked around your bike.
Last summer, Mrs. Waxman persuaded her parents and her husband’s parents to join her in what she calls “a family intervention”—a flurry of letters to Mr. Waxman urging him to exercise less.
Are you ready for the acceptance stage? Or is it going to be more excuses.
But Mr. Waxman stood his ground. In his view, his athletic ambition shouldn’t have surprised his wife. It arose from the same qualities that drove him to obtain two law degrees, an MBA and his position at Merrill Lynch.
His gargantuan training hours last summer were aimed at a particularly elite goal—a swim across the English Channel, which he achieved in September. “The English Channel thing, hopefully my wife and kids see it as a little bit inspiring,” he says.

Bet those JD’s came in handy when he crafted that ironclad prenup
Get a maid and start banging the pool boy. Problem solved. You’re welcome.

I thought the point of getting married and poping out some spawn was to so you could stop exercising and get fat. Did I miss something?

I’m not saying he popped them out, but that he facilitated the event. If that confuses you, I’m sure you could take Bio 101 at one of the fine community colleges in your area. Thanks for playing though.
What a pansy this guy is. I work out five hours a day every 15 minutes. True story.

let me break this down for you–
most people– like, you– say stuff like “I thought the point of getting married and poping out some spawn was to so you could stop exercising and get fat,” referring to women. Do you know a lot of dudes who are all, “I can’t wait to get married so I can get fat!”?

He should work at DB instead of ML. Get it? Because DB also could stand for douche bag. Do you get it?

From the looks of the picture, “Jorie” might have started working out so hard because the missus was physically kicking his ass all the time. You see those guns on her?!

Sounds like someone has issues because they couldn’t make the NHL.
Presumably a big shot from ML could afford better furniture……
He’s speeding down the carpool lane with Ping/magic marker guy.
i assume he’s 5’2″, always trying to measure up.
He went to McGill. They do all kinds of weird shit in Canada. Don’t barristers have to wear wigs?

Probably an LLM. They are most commonly done in Tax, which is reasonable since he is in Private Banking.

Women only want one thing…A chocolate dick that ejaculates money. Don’t give it to them and they start throwing the D word around.
We’ll all take that on authority, coming from the guy with plenty of experience in providing neither food, dick, nor money.
Whirrrr beeep!
x = chocolate dick size
y = ejaculation
z = money
(((z+y)^ln 15)*x))/e^0.26
buzzz! bing!

The D word is Dirigible!

you mean he’s the guy speeding down the carpool lane with the inflatable doll / sex toy in the passenger seat trying to fool the transit police he’s a legit carpooler, and the ping guy is tailgating him
You’re so cool. And knowledgable about what women want.
Ive worked w/ Lance Armstrong wannbe d-bags like this…he never got laid while getting those 2 law degrees and he’s bitter, fast forward to now and he is looking hot next to his middle aged, pear shaped, slovenly peers and he is the MAN!

Now he works for Bank of Amerillwide and getting raped by BM!
he seems overqualified for Private Banking. probably took the job because it is so lifestyle friendly to accomodate his workout regimen. smart guy.
A lot of people ask me, ‘CT, you’re a giant superstar. You can get any woman. Have you ever paid for sex?’ And the answer is yes, I have. Several times, in fact. And it’s actually kinda cool. You can negotiate practically anything and sometimes, even just kind of do stuff in the moment that you never agreed to pay for and it goes by without much argument.
Don’t forget that his comments are also awesome and hilarious.
Just give him some poutine.
2nd!
It’s true. Also, why is it that whenever I say anything about hookers or sex my comments get removed? I mean at the end of the day besides money is there anything else that matters?
Bony Mellon?

Sounds like it’s time to fire up the vibe and call the pool boy, Mrs. W…
Never, ever talk shit about McGill.

This guy is clearly having a gay affair.
He’ll get his payback when his kid becomes the next Johnny Weir
First, don’t believe everything you read. Secondly, where was I when the photos were taken? At home with family and photographer. He was at our house for over 2 hours.
Ummm ‘is’ is a verb?
“I’m out of gas by nine o’clock,” Mr. Waxman says. His exercise regimen intensified about seven years ago, eventually hitting two hours each weekday and up to five or six hours each Saturday and Sunday.”
haha… with so much “work out” no wonder he is “out of gas”. The wife reads this on print and does not see the absudity of the situation at all?!
Clearly the guy is upto no good, the only question being which way he swings.
It sounds like this guy has serious body dysmorphia
the technical term is ‘manorexia’
must look at this chanel bags 2010 suprisely
