Chapter Six: A new marriage is in trouble. With a new knitting hobby to buoy her nerves, Jennifer and Rick begin a couples workshop to get back on track, only there turns out to be a big problem….
This chapter really got me. First, the thoughts you have on the writing on the board and your descriptions and assessments are ones that I could see myself making quite similarly. Second, I did this kind of therapy, in fact that exercise looks like the exact one that I did in a marriage workshop with my first husband. The fact I said first there, should tell you that it didn't go well for us either. I just really relate and I'm looking forward to the next installment. Because I know you now, I somewhat know a little, but you have officially hooked me!
I feel sad for Rick and Jennifer, and angry at a manipulative therapist who opened a wound seemingly without noticing. I want to know what happened right after the workshop. How did they handle this new development in their relationship? Looking forward to next chapter.
Wow...the way you weave in what she is thinking when Rick reveals the truth about what he is thinking, his oblivion to what his truth means to her, their marriage, her kids....I am invested in what happens to this relationship and rooting for her.

Oof that was brutal. That conference sounds weirdly dystopian.
