“I haven't a clue about the biology or the psychology involved when a person dissolves into tears, but it is quite fascinating to note what turns them on. There are wives who can cascade over a late husband or a burned dinner, and equally pour tears of joy over a new bonnet or a renovated bathroom.... A while ago I took a ship back from Europe.

I couldn't figure out if I was crying at her plight, or in delight that he wasn't coming along with us.” IfsPersonsYoungJoyTurnsFoundPsychologyWifeHavensCryFiguresTearsInvolvedSorrowHusbandLateEuropeNotesDelightDinnerShipsFascinatingBiologyBurnedClueFarewellBathroomPlightYoung LadiesMistyDocksTumblingCascadeBonnetsConfettiTears Of Joy Author:Malcolm Forbes

“You [can] become part of someone else's narrative. Every once in a while I would get people asking me questions like, "If your husband is a Muslim, then why haven't you converted to Islam?" Interestingly enough, almost every person who asked me that was a Sunni, and it was their not-so-subtle way of implying that my Shiite husband was a bad Muslim for letting his infidel wife run around unconverted.” PeopleIfsWayPersonsEnoughRunningWifeHavensHusbandAskingIslamNarrativeSubtleYour HusbandInfidelImplying Author:Annia Ciezadlo
