Question Author
I read her column from the beginning and thought it was fiction too. Then I e-mailed her and she replied a couple of times and I knew it was all true.
I am not sure what I think any more. Her husbands behaviour was unforgivable in my book, but it can't be easy having someone write about your every intimate moment and habit and conversation every week. It must imasculate a man and make him want to prove himself elsewhere.
Their marriage seems born of desperation, hers to have a man in her life, his to leave home without loosing any creature comforts or having to bet he provider.She is a substitute Mum to him, but she needs that too, at the same time as being so incredibly needy herself.
She has so many quirks and hangups and seems to define herself by her (expensive) possessions which are always named. Her cats are like children.He is too young.
She changed herself so much that all natures natural proportions and assets have been lost, boobs removed, hair coloured, nips, tucks and botox no doubt.Tragedy is
she hates how she is now ,& has no self esteem left. It is all rather sad. She thought she knew what she wanted and now she has it all and is disallusioned.
A real life tale of our times.
