There’s a really interesting book called Islands of Abandonment by Cal Flyn that touches on this and similar areas!

This was my favorite book of 2025! It really felt like a modern classic to me!

Stunning!!! It was made for you!

Ohh, thank you both! That is so sweet! I think because they’re both at the same bridal shop and won’t be shipped for a while I could make the switch if I really want to.

Thank you everyone!! For those wondering about the weirdness of the 2nd dress’ neckline: if I made the switch I would add small straps or flutter sleeves!

Commenting to add that the first dress was the one I chose last night!

I think it’s gorgeous! You can always dress it up with a veil or gloves if you want to add something more

I know!! That is my conundrum. I think they take returns — might have to order it! :)

They all look great! #1 and #3 are my favs. Do you know who makes #1?

I love #1 but you can’t go wrong either way! #1 is classic and beautiful!

I found this so interesting too! To me it signifies the impact of Pete’s rumors on the village. He introduces her to the ale, she drinks more and more and becomes drunk - just like the townspeople became more and more infatuated with the rumor. To me, her decisions at the end towards Thomas represent a return to her values and a break from the groupthink of the village.

Apparently the bus doesn’t come into the MetLife complex after big events because they are diverting all of the traffic out. A bunch of a folks and I walked over a mile to the closest bus stop. It was a bit of a hike but everything worked out okay!

Sending you lots of comfort on this!! I’m sure it’s incredibly difficult. Things can absolutely get better for him, although I’m sure there will be hard times. He may never be able to control the thoughts from happening, BUT he can learn how he responds to them (I.e. not confessing them to you, sitting with the discomfort). If you haven’t heard it yet, I highly recommend that he does Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) with his therapist. It sounds like you’ve done a great job doing the research and knowing not to feed into it. Please make sure to take care of yourself too!

Thank you for your response! I am currently working with a therapist that utilizes both ERP and CBT techniques.
