Cali, I think you'll enjoy the book. I thought is was pretty cathartic. I could relate a lot with the main character Rose, and there were some similarities in my sitch (the H in MLC, maternal and earthy wife, younger and more exciting OW who is more a career climber then family oriented, etc...).
Mkultra, Sounds like an interesting book! I'll have to take a look at that!!!
ERC, you are bad! Hee hee!!!!
I'm in the middle of "Wives behaving Badly," and this morning while I was reading at the gym, the main character (the OW) is being consulted by a friend who wants to leave her husband, and because she herself has been though it all (and ends up making a mess of her life), tells the other character:
"It's very easy to think oneself into rightness. 'Yes,' I used to say to myself, 'Rose is so complacent. She doesn't care about Nathan in the way he needs. She deserves to lose him. A person as careless as Rose doesn't deserve a husband like Nathan.' in the end, I felt it was almost my duty to take Nathan away." "And you succeeded. So?" "You're missing the point, Paige. You can reason yourself in and out of anything. That's the trouble with reason. It's flexible."
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
