Quote Detail

Sometimes a rut can be a comfortable place to be, but ours was full of too many differences and resentments to be wholly comfortable. I had always had my own way in the marriage _ about what we__ do, where we__ do it, when, how. Katharine had always argued, and always given in. In the process she__ become more resentful, I guess, except that I was too busy with my own work to notice. But in turn she was less and less appealing to me. She__ a couple of years older than me, I guess you know that, but that wasn__ all. Those stolid American middle-class values, her sensible clothes, her sense of responsibility, her moderation in all things _ frankly, they bored me. We made love less and less, and she didn__ even seem to miss it. I did.
