You say See-doh, I say Seh-doh.
In today’s modern age, the holy oath one takes during the wedding ceremony appears to have faded severely. “Til death do us part” does not seem to apply any longer, certainly not in the case of a domainer couple from Wyoming.
Tim and Sasha Fritzenburg met at a BestBuy store, four years ago. Sasha, a dark-haired Jewish beauty from upstate New York was swooned by Tim – a bespectacled, six-foot-five tall support technician.
It was love at first sight.
During the past four years, Tim and Sasha Fritzenburg got married, incorporated and started a home-based business of mini-site development and domain consultancy; in the spring of 2008 they also attended TRAFFIC and that’s when their marriage took a direct hit.
“I love Sasha, she’s a kind, soft-spoken person”, says Tim, clearly emotional behind his thick, black rimmed eyeglasses. “She would never hurt a fly but right now I am so broken-hearted over this”, he adds.
During the TRAFFIC conference, Tim and Sasha both met with representatives from Sedo, which employs associates from the US and Germany. For some reason, there was no consensus over the exact pronunciation of the Sedo name. Tim repeatedly used the American version, “See-doh” whereas Sasha seemed to obsess how the original, German name of “Seh-doh” was the correct one.
“I could not take it, the little twerp questioning me? Huh, I mean, whatever. It’s bad enough when your husband neglects your feminine needs, if you catch my drift but to question my German roots and everything? My grandfather, Joseph Schlomostein was a famous writer in Soest, Germany”, says Sasha, smoking a cigarette and reading ‘Der Zauberberg’ by Thomas Mann.
After a lot of public arguing during the TRAFFIC conference, the couple took some counseling classes; they were advised to switch to another PPC provider as a form of reconciliation; unfortunately, this led them to financial turmoil as no other PPC company compared to Sedo.com
“We divorced earlier this month”, says Tim. “I just have to accept the fact that Sedo – however it’s pronounced – ruined my marriage. Sure, Sedo earns me a hefty check each month but I do miss Sasha”, he adds.
Meanwhile, Sasha is moving to Germany to research her grandfather’s journalistic records during the pre-war era; she says she’d consider taking up a job with Sedo in Köln as well.
