After much extensive reading, I took a break to watch two movies that both take place in two of the most beautifully romantic places in the world: Pane e tulipani in Venezia and Shirley Valentine in Myknos. Both movies follow middle-aged homemakers who've got absolutely rotten husbands and demanding children, so the women happen upon a much deserved escape and change of scenery.
One of the women continues to live happily in her escape while playing the accordion, and the other's husband finally assumes his role as husband and dusts his own shoes for a change.
My synopses fail miserably, and my left eyesight is three times as blind as it was two years ago (according to an eye visit), so there's not much of a conclusion here, only that:
my random selection of movies happened to be about two different cases of women being liberated from their deadbeat, cheating, and ungrateful husbands. That is all. And quite interesting too as I am waging my dear Aynnie's Virtue of Selfishness.
