“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. He didn't want to change anything; he liked his life. The only thing he wanted to change was me.” WantHomeEyeWantedTogetherFantasyHeardHusbandSingingJokesGardenOppositesAffairDinnerEnjoyedSatHis EyesMy HusbandLaughedPoliteAdulteryCourteous Book:Sexing the Cherry Source: Sexing the Cherry

“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. Amid the tumbling confetti ... I found myself misty-eyed watching a young lady waving a tearful farewell to her boyfriend on the dock. 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

“Sam Vimes could parallel process. Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "and they can deliver it tomorrow" or "so I've invited them for dinner?" or "they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply.” ImportantAbleLastsProcessCan DoLinesWifeReadyListeningTomorrowSkillsHusbandBlueDinnerSentencesDialoguePhrasesInvitedParallelsSam Vimes Author:Terry Pratchett

He swore that it wouldn't and she believed him.

She just chatted with him, but that night, her husband threw her into a mirror.” IfsUsedNightHappenedDogColdTerribleWalkingHusbandMirrorsDinnerNeighborDomestic Violence Author:Nicholas Sparks
