[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s a best seller book for awhile now. [/quote]

Lol…I don’t know that that’s true, but I wish it were.  There are too few stories that highlight the internal drama inherent in quiet domestic life.  [/quote]

It’s true.

Np.  I bought a bunch of best sellers from target when they had a bogo sale.

Also bought: It Ends With Us.
About DV, a bit unrealistic since the abuser “agreed he was abusive” and left/ no narc tendencies. But it’s about breaking the abuse cycle for the sake of your children.

I feel like I’m derailing the thread, but I’m guessing this was a different book.  “The Apple Tree” by Daphne DuMaurier is a short story published in the 1950’s in a collection that also included “The Birds” (made into a famous Hitchcock movie).  
There is a great summary above, but it’s a fantastic story and so worth the read.  It makes me think of this relationship in that I wonder if she really is a shrew or if OP kind of made her into one.

It makes me think of Amy from “Little Women” and her “skirts of illusion.”  Women who make domestic life and work too visible or take too much pride in it are somehow seen as boring or shrews.  You have to do it while pretending that it isn’t happening or that you don’t care.
