I never used to see anything on TV where the man was in the weaker position. It was always the female showing emotion, breaking down, being emotionally torn apart by men.

Spending way too long worrying about what people think about me is a bad habit.

I never felt like I had to rebel against my convent upbringing, because it was comparatively regular.

Stresses in a marriage and in family life, sometimes they're prompted by whatever is going on in the wider world as well as what's going on behind your door.
