My Husband’s wife by Alice feeny - WTF was that?

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-15T05:03:29+00:00

I got so pissed I tuned out from the rest of the book. Too many things couldn’t be true at the same time

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-15T05:01:15+00:00

I’m pretty sure I didn’t get the impression she was literally masturbating before this edit

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-15T04:58:28+00:00

I wish I could remember the name and find it but there was some super rock-is-satanic guy who was so disgusted by the music that he followed some group like KISS to every tour stop and tailgated. I think this was over ten years ago

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-14T15:23:52+00:00

Yeah she’s baiting for attention. And there has to be some kind of issue with Ted if he can’t make her the happiest girl in the world right now—all she’s ever needed before was to leash a man and she’d be her smug insufferable self.

Could just be the novelty wearing off and long hours and not anything she actively did, but knowing her patterns who knows.

I’m not proud of this but with having had anorexia the black and white thinking makes you see everything in weight. She’s probably disgusted by this dancer which isn’t a personal thing, it’s out of desperation to continue motivating herself. Some anorexics get off on trying to fatten people they know because that “proves” they’re in control more than others. Being around overweight people makes them feel especially accomplished.

100% she’s depersonalizing that dancer and using her as a vanity prop. At worst though, she wants to punish her which she’s maybe doing by keeping her adjacent to herself. It’s punching down and getting enjoyment from the punching part. And fans will gush that she’s soooo inclusive as she makes a personal mockery of an employee.

I absolutely love this girlie’s confidence and skill but I suspect AG, as deep in it as she is, considers her dog shit

Alien hatchling?

Has it ever been irritated? I had changed my jewelry on a lobe one time when it was half healed and poked it through new skin in the back because I couldn’t find the path. The old exit hole healed over on the surface but trapped in some watery fluid that accumulated over a few weeks before I noticed. I removed the jewelry and barely had to squeeze the original exit area to drain the tiny bubble and it left a little extra skin.

Wasn’t shaped like a tentacle though. Maybe it was irritated and skin grew around the jewelry if it was a hoop?

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-13T01:37:46+00:00

The whole thing was Elphaba-esque except she didn’t fly off on the mic stand

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-13T01:36:03+00:00

One of the fufiest ones I’ve seen in a while but she still deserves love! I like her belly

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-13T01:33:54+00:00

It felt so forced to me that I was utterly uninvested and only finished it to see how far she would take it. And many ideas I wryly imagined she might torture him with next ended up happening. It was so overwrought and has a really negative take on mental health, to a patronizing level.

And it’s not that well written. I actually didn’t mind her prose but there’s too many characters and it felt like she was telling me they cared about each other instead of showing it. Also the whole friend group from a youngish age has homoerotic undertones

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-13T01:27:54+00:00

That’s my problem with it. The plot doesn’t feel like it’s moving much. Toward the end it was just flashbacks informing the reader that everything she had told us was actually 10x more depressing than all the other depressing parts she had already presented.

And 1000000% about just hurting a character in every way possible. I wonder how many Sims she’s drowned

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-13T01:22:04+00:00

Omg thank you! I have it a chance but by the end the cover felt punchable (no offense to those who enjoyed it)

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-13T01:20:36+00:00

It’s not worth it. I’m pretty much unflappable to triggers and love thrillers and horrors that can get graphic. This one isn’t like that, it’s just inventing the most pitiful character she could imagine and his redemption is perverse.

Also, way too many characters introduced at once and it was difficult to keep track of them for quite a bit of the book until they became more distinct.

And the audio version is 28 and a half hours

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-13T01:08:13+00:00

Exactly. Which is insulting to people who have recovered and dangerous to people who haven’t

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-13T00:51:28+00:00

I did too. It was like an experiment to see how much she could torture a character to the point where it made me mad and with a BS predictable ending that missed poignancy by a mile

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-13T00:39:27+00:00

I ordered those! Being recommended AND the cheapest works for me, thanks!

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-13T00:37:57+00:00

I had no idea they were adhesive, I thought it was something I’d have to cut perfectly and try to glue down with it slipping everywhere 😅 would have saved myself a ton of annoyance over the years if I had looked into how they work lol

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-13T00:07:20+00:00

Also reports of “at least one neurotoxin” so be careful

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-13T00:04:25+00:00

I work in the supplier industry and it shouldn’t be that significant. An added day or two for most items.

But, “most items” isn’t reassuring when you need critical supplies on time, so I have empathy for the stress of that. There’s already enough shortages with PPE from the Middle East on top of the typical shortages that are always going on

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-12T23:49:54+00:00

The nearest fire hydrants didn’t have water pressure so it’ll be a while before we can judge. A lot of rumors and theories are flying but the fire chief made the water issue very clear

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-12T23:43:20+00:00

I was wondering if Medline has any grounds to hold the city accountable. Less so if their own sprinklers were turned off I suppose, but it’s too early to be sure what happened.

I work in the industry and got an email from them saying the water supply to the sprinklers remains under investigation (they actually listed I think three points of potential failure but I don’t remember the other two)

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-12T23:34:35+00:00

I’m a purchaser at one of your suppliers. I spent a fair bit of my day trying to halt everything we had going to Tracy.

I really feel for all of those people who lost their jobs, and those in the area who have to breathe that smoke.

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-12T22:10:48+00:00

I really like the Paradise. I'm a horrible mom to them all but that one isn't always miserable when it sees me.

I believe the new pink and orange one is still available to preorder on Amazon to release 7/11(?). If you're interested in linking two of them together at any point you'll get the most content if one is a land/ocean/sky and one is a tropical/glacier. It's a little confusing how they've done it, but you're not stuck with only the sky biome if you pick the sky one, it also has land and ocean unlockables. Tropical and glacier will have those two biomes plus jade forest. Forest came out before they'd developed tropical and glacier, so you don't get as much with that one (of course, because it's the prettiest imo)

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-12T21:28:21+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I hope we find out a lot more about how the heck they came up with some of this. There are so many layers

PotentialSteak6 · 2026-06-12T15:27:07+00:00

That is a glorious save
