Behind every successful man, they said, is a woman. In that instance, the thing behind a successful woman is never a man, but a bag full of the bones she had to collect, the balls she had to crush on her way to the top. He sent an overachieving man from the Lakeside, a man with a shiny pate and a sibilant last name, a man who has had more titles than a new girlfriend with a Luo sponsor. Or, as I suspect is the case, we have been lied to, and sometimes there is no one behind a successful man except the triplets: blood, sweat and tears. Single people are just as successful, if not more, than happily married ones.
