[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just read that one of the streaming services (I'm thinking Netflix?) bought the rights and that they're going to have Gwyneth Paltrow play her.  Thinking about it in retrospect, didn't she spend summers on Cape Cod and he stayed in the city, so maybe he was NEVER that into her?  Maybe he always had a secret life?  Yeah, to me the weirdest part was that he didn't want any kind of formal custody of the kids -- and I felt like the book was just getting really interesting when it ended.  I wanted to know what their life was like a few years from now -- does he have a girlfriend? Does he even bother showing up at the kids' weddings?  College drop off?  What do the kids end up thinking about him as an adult?

we are nowhere near that wealthy but one of my kids' friends has a father who didn't bother showing up at her wedding, so I guess I have just been thinking about how all this looks going forward.  "no thanks, I don't need to meet my grandchild.  Not interested.  I'm good."  Weird![/quote]

Men sticking around the city for work is because Americans, even rich ones, tend not to have a lot of vacation and also not to use all of what they have.

Men also have been getting into trouble while their wife was at the summer home since forever.  Like in "Hamilton".[/quote]
