Jeanette Winterson: "Ketika suami saya berselingkuh dengan orang lain,...

"Ketika suami saya berselingkuh dengan orang lain, saya melihat matanya berkaca-kaca ketika kami makan malam bersama dan saya mendengar dia bernyanyi untuk dirinya sendiri tanpa saya, dan ketika dia merawat kebun itu bukan untuk saya. Dia sopan dan sopan; dia menikmati berada di rumah, tetapi dalam fantasi rumahnya aku bukan orang yang duduk di seberangnya dan menertawakan leluconnya. Dia tidak ingin mengubah apa pun; dia menyukai hidupnya. Satu-satunya hal yang ingin dia ubah adalah saya."

--- Jeanette Winterson

Versi Bahasa Inggris

When my husband had an affair with someone else I watched his eyes glaze over when we ate dinner together and I heard him singing to himself without me, and when he tended the garden it was not for me. He was courteous and polite; he enjoyed being at home, but in the fantasy of his home I was not the one who sat opposite him and laughed at his jokes. He didn't want to change anything; he liked his life. The only thing he wanted to change was me.
