“The first thing I do when I come home is check the refrigerator for cats because I'm convinced that if one dies, my husband will hide it in there because I don't cook and so I won't see it. I do drink Cokes, though ,so technically he should hide the corpse in the oven. And now I need to start checking the oven.” IfsNeedsShouldFirstsHomeDiesDrinkHusbandCatConvincedChecksCooksMy HusbandComing HomeCorpsesCokeRefrigeratorsOvens Author:Jenny Lawson

“When my husband had an affair with someone else I watched his eyes glaze over when we ate dinner together and I heard him singing to himself without me, and when he tended the garden it was not for me. He was courteous and polite; he enjoyed being at home, but in the fantasy of his home I was not the one who sat opposite him and laughed at his jokes.

The only thing he wanted to change was me.” WantHomeEyeWantedTogetherFantasyHeardHusbandSingingJokesGardenOppositesAffairDinnerEnjoyedSatHis EyesMy HusbandLaughedPoliteAdulteryCourteous Book:Sexing the Cherry Source: Sexing the Cherry

“I had left home (like all Jewish girls) in order to eat pork and take birth control pills. When I first shared an intimate evening with my husband, I was swept away by the passion (so dormant inside myself) of a long and tortured existence. The physical cravings I had tried so hard to deny, finally and ultimately sated ...
