    @Anandasubramanian

    What is _your_ frickin' problem? Are you so emotionally invested in "marriage always equals happy-ever-after" that you strike back at anyone who even hint that might not be true? Even Cary noted that the LW sounded far more afraid of her husband's reaction than normal circumstances would warrant. She sounds like a guilty, dependent little girl than a mature woman. Sorry if you aren't perceptive enough to read between the lines of her letter--and that you lack the intelligence to be at all curious as to why she sounds so fearful.
