All Comments on 'Marriage of Convenience'

Well described and seemed SO genuine.

I take it that the situation you so vividly describe above was autobiographical. I'm assuming that it is since you have placed it in the Reviews and Essays category. If the events involving you wife and her workplace are factual then it seems to have put the last nail in the coffin of your sham marriage. If it were me then I would have tossed her to the curb simply because of her intentional frigidity towards you that was there from the get go. The workplace then offered her the opportunity to become a corporate whore to her boss. To this she agreed without your say so. I know you sort of made light of the situation towards the end of your piece. But think about it...you chose to cope with this terrible occurrence but virtually submitting to chemical castration (a la Alan Turing). This meant that you felt you had to deny your sexual self in order to "get along".

I love that you describe it as becoming a Mommy/Son relationship dynamic

I'm not sure if I should be horny because of the masochism or cry because of how sad this story is
