Thankfully we are still in an apartment and have no kids yet because divorce is almost a certainty at this point. We have nothing in common anymore. I feel like I'm living with a lazy, extremely needy roommate. We're living two completely separate lives."
"她的父亲在我们结婚之时垂危,她无法从父亲的死亡中恢复过来,尽管我已经尽了最大的努力让她吃药、接受治疗。她变胖了,除了看电视几乎啥也不做,80%的家务活都是我做的。幸运的是,我们还住在公寓里,还没有生小孩儿,因为我们快要离婚了。我们不再有共同点,我感觉自己在和一个懒散、特别粘人的舍友生活在一起。我们过着截然不同的两种生活。"

7. She had a hardcore drug addiction8.
7. 她有很强的毒瘾。
"She was a compulsive liar9 and coke-head. If you don't do drugs, it's hard to pick up on the tell-tale signs. My friends knew, my associates knew, her family knew, everybody knew but me. Yes, every sign was there. I just fell for all the lies. I loved that woman too."
"她是个强迫性的瘾君子和撒谎精。如果你本人不吸毒,那你是很难识别吸毒迹象的。我的朋友知道、我的同事知道、她的家人知道,每个人都知道,除了我。是的,迹象都摆在那儿。我只是跌入了她的陷阱。我爱她呀。"
