Рефлексия и снобизм

“A lot of women tell me this is new,” writes Monica Corcoran Harel. “Their spouses weren’t always so withdrawn. They married fun men who had fun friends. Their husbands used to hang out, even text, with those dudes. They had lives outside their romantic relationship. Somewhere along the way, though, they quit making the effort.” If you look closely, you’ll see these women everywhere. The “wing wife,” who talks her husband up at social events because he doesn’t say much or engage; the “take-flight wife,” who literally pushes her spouse toward a group of men, as a bird urges her fledgling out of the nest; the “not-now wife,” who refuses to play the game and simply resents her introverted husband.
