" The gesture of possessiveness, of staking his claim, doesn’t escape me, but I don’t dwell on it much either, because he’s not doing it to me. He’s doing it to his wife. As long as I don’t consider myself his wife and can separate reality from the role I’m playing, everything will be fine. And most importantly, I’ll survive. "
