Oh my. I don't think Ariane needs a husband more than a psychiatrist. After 15 years together, she couldn't stop comparing her life and evaluating the relationship. She has always loved her husband unconditionally, despite jealousy and doubt. She became obsessed and meticulous about everything and wrote down notes categorized thematically to reflect experiences that influenced her daily life. She's even going through her husband's things.
This book contains themes of chronic anxiety, marital problems, and adultery. Going through her life is exhausting. Generally, the idea that this kind of person existed before me is surreal, even revolting. What I need most in a long-term marriage is peace, quiet, and learning how to restrain. There's no single formula for successful marriages. It does not come with a guide. Bear in mind that marriages take work, sacrifice, and respect.
So, what's wrong with Ariane's husband? Is he some kind of psycho or what? And yet, the epilogue of the book shows the perspective and frame of the story from him. Brief, unsettling, and mind-boggling. I give 4.5 ⭐️
