Dear Ms. Carter,
I came across an interview where you mentioned, “sweatpants are the leading cause of divorce.” I have to admit, that hit me hard. I could almost feel the divorce papers being prepared for my situation. I wear sweatpants, stretchy pants, yoga pants—any form of elastic-waist attire—about nine days a week.
Reflecting on your statement, I realized that if I were in your shoes, with a partner like Liam Hemsworth, financial security, and the opportunity to stay out of the spotlight during pregnancy, I’d probably opt for something far more glamorous than sweatpants. Maybe even sparkly pants. Actually, let’s be real—I’d probably forgo pants altogether.
Sophia, you’re quite amusing. Here are a few reasons this (likely soon-to-be-divorced) woman embraces her comfy sweatpants:
- Comfort: Sweatpants allow me to skip the underwear altogether. With a child who changes outfits nearly 20 times a day, reducing laundry is a significant win for me. I don’t have a housekeeper to tackle the laundry mountain, so I treasure any chance to minimize it.
- Concealment: My sweatpants cover my less-than-ideal leg grooming habits. If I had a charming celebrity like Liam on my arm, I might shave my legs more often, but alas, I prioritize comfort over aesthetics. Sweatpants effectively hide any unkempt areas, providing a cozy barrier.
- Flexibility: I can’t afford a personal trainer to keep my muffin top in check. Even if I could, the thought of running and sweating doesn’t sound appealing. Sweatpants fit comfortably no matter the day’s dietary choices. Recently, I indulged in a feast that would rival a newborn’s weight, and my sweatpants were more than accommodating.
- Rebelliousness: Recently, the debate over yoga pants and sweatpants has sparked some controversy. I thrive on a little scandal and feel like a true rebel when I wear them. They give me a sense of freedom—like Bonnie Parker on a casual day.
- Personal Space: When I wear anything other than my trusty sweats, I tend to attract unwanted attention. Perhaps it’s due to my less-than-maintained appearance or the lingering aroma of takeout, but I prefer my sweats for the sake of maintaining a comfortable distance from admirers.
Now, with the notion that sweatpants lead to divorce looming over me, I find myself anxiously anticipating those dreaded divorce papers.
So here I sit, in my beloved stretchy pants, fully prepared for my imminent legal documents to arrive.
