Mark betrayed his wife Isabella in a really unusual & horrible way. It did not involve divulging a secret, finances, adultery, physical violence, or anything illegal. What did he do? | ||

Does 'betrayal' mean that he let her down in some way? did not do something that he had promised to do? that she was counting on him to do? Is Isabella alive at the time of the puzzle? Is Mark? | ||

Did Mark write a memory about the former lover? Did he publicly state that she was the best (or other superlative) woman he had ever met? | ||

He did!! Isn't that horrible? His wife didn't know at the time but was almost bound to find out eventually. And then she'd have to live with this reminder for the rest of her life!! This is from the novel Rich Boy, by Sharon Pomerantz.Please check out my new puzzle. | ||

You forgot the s-word ~.^ My dad has on occasion told me I was named after an old girlfriend of his. But more often he tells me I was named after Queen Elizabeth and Princess Anne. | ||

*snort* Most certainly not. He mentioned having a girlfriend named Elizabeth Anne with a glass eye. Strange. Mom says that's ridiculous and not to listen to that, and that having royal namesakes is the real version. | ||

So **** SPOILER*********** Mark's wife Isabella doesn't know about Mark's former lover, who died before Isabella met Mark. So Isabella doesn't know that Mark has named their daughter ('Gwendolyn') after his former lover. Eventually, Isabella is bound to find out (since Mark's family & old friends know about Gwendolyn), resulting is a wound she'll have to live with for the rest of her life. What a horrid husband!! |
