The whole world seems tilted, my inner ear displaced by a hole where my spouse used to be.
The abandonment came, and now this shabby bacchanal.
Why does a woman work ten years to change a man, then complain he's not the man she married?
Women writers make for rewarding (and efficient) lovers. They are clever liars to fathers and husbands; yet they never hold their tongues too long, nor keep ardent typing fingers still.
The zipless fuck is absolutely pure. It is free of ulterior motives. There is no power game . The man is not
I travel back in time, falling back into what I know for certain, the historical data I cling to in order to not go mad, not assume I made a suicidal and well-informed error in marrying this man.
Oscar Madison: Blanche, would you stop pointing your finger at me and yelling. You got two other husbands here to do that with.
Conversely, I though humiliation would be everything, but it
I played possum. I did this, as the possum does, out of fear.
I like 'em big. And stupid. Don't tell my husband.
This people know where their husbands are. I would like to vomit. I would like to vomit my soul out.
I am not ready to think of him as either insane or evil, to consider in full how I could love and have a child with such a person. I am not ready to think about anything, except ways in which this may still be averted.
Soon he was online every night until one or two a.m. Often he would wake up at three of four a.m. and go back online. He would shut down the computer screen when I walked in. In the past, he used to take the laptop to bed with him and we would both be on our laptops, hips touching. He stopped doing that, slipping off to his office instead and closing the door even when A was asleep. He started closing doors behind him. I was steeped in denial, but my body knew.
He left a bit too easily and with obvious relief. His feet were swift and sure on the muddy path.
Mrs. Nickleby: [Nicholas' father, Ralph's brother, died] Mine was no common loss. Ralph Nickleby: I was no uncommon loss. Husbands die every day. And wives. Nicholas: Brothers also. Ralph Nickleby: Yes, and puppies, too.
Isabella: [showing a picture of her mother to Sonny] See? Lucinda Somebody's wedding. Everybody's with couples, husbands and wives. They all pose. But she is more special.
They ought to do away with divorce settlements. Instead, both parties should flip a coin. The winner gets to stay where he or she is and keep everything. The loser goes to Paraguay. That

This is much easier than when N left. Our son is unable to grasp and simultaneously turn doorknobs yet. If only this trick could be unlearned by men over thirty, many more families would celebrate Christmas together.

Colonel Partington: Charlie, why didn't you take a vacation when Layla left? Charlie Baileygates: Why... why would I? Wives leaves their husbands everyday in this country... It's no reason to short change the department... it's not like I had the flu!
Flannel shirts should be outlawed for ex husbands; I realize this now. Flannel shirts are to women what crotchless panties are to men.
I feel angry but not homocidal; this may be unlooked-for progress.
Well, Mr. Caudle, I hope you're in a little better temper than you were this morning. There, you needn't begin to whistle: people don't come to bed to whistle. But it's like you; I can't speak that you don't try to insult me. Once, I used to say you were the best creature living: now, you get quite a fiend. Do let you rest? No, I won't let you rest. It's the only time I have to talk to you, and you shall hear me. I'm put upon all day long: it's very hard if I can't speak a word at night; besides, it isn't often I open my mouth, goodness knows!

I sensed he may have occasionally strayed in some of his past relationships. It was something I felt but ignored, a rent in the fabric of an otherwise splendid garment I thought I could mend. I thought I could live with it
I want to own this transition, not to simply swallow the shame of it entire. I will push for every little irony.
I had no illusions about you,' he said. 'I knew you were silly and frivolous and empty-headed. But I loved you. I knew that your aims and ideals were vulgar and commonplace. But I loved you. I knew that you were second-rate. But I loved you. It's comic when I think how hard I tried to be amused by the things that amused you and how anxious I was to hide from you that I wasn't ignorant and vulgar and scandal-mongering and stupid. I knew how frightened you were of intelligence and I did everything I could to make you think me as big a fool as the rest of the men you knew. I knew that you'd only married me for convenience. I loved you so much, I didn't care. Most people, as far as I can see, when they're in love with someone and the love isn't returned feel that they have a grievance. They grow angry and bitter. I wasn't like that. I never expected you to love me, I didn't see any reason that you should. I never thought myself very lovable. I was thankful to be allowed to love you and I was enraptured when now and then I thought you were pleased with me or when I noticed in your eyes a gleam of good-humored affection. I tried not to bore you with my love; I knew I couldn't afford to do that and I was always on the lookout for the first sign that you were impatient with my affection. What most husbands expect as a right I was prepared to receive as a favor.
I was steeped in denial, but my body knew.
And although in many cases these unions proved happy enough, sailors being excellent husbands, often away and handy about the house when ashore, it did make for a curious gathering when the spouses were invited to a ball.
Besides what endless brawls by wives are bred, The curtain lecture makes a mournful bed.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

I never married because...I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon, and a cat that come home late at night.
