《美食祈祷和恋爱》Chapter 60 (131):等待前夫的原谅  

Richard from Texas was wondering if I was planning on allowing my ex-husband to dictate for the rest of my life how I felt about myself
and I said I wasn't too sure about that
actu-ally—so far
my ex still seemed to have a pretty strong vote
and to be honest I was still halfway waiting for the man to five me
to release me and allow me to go forth in peace.
The dairy farmer from Ireland observed
"Waiting for that day to arrive is not exactly a ra-tional use of your time."
"What can I say
guys? I do a lot with guilt. Kind of like the way other women do a lot with beige."
“你们说，我能怎么做？我有很多罪恶感。就像其他女人有很多米色毛衣。”
The former Catholic nun (who oughtta know about guilt
after all) wouldn't hear of it. "Guilt's just your ego's way of tricking you into thinking that you're making moral progress. Don't fall for it
my dear."
"What I hate about the way my marriage ended
" I said
"is that it's so unresolved. It's just an open wound that never goes away."
"If you insist
" said Richard. "If that's how you've decided to think about it
don't let me spoil your party."
"One of these days this has to end
" I said. "I just wish I knew how."
