Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - My Husband

I had the opportunity to read this in French, and the writing is beautiful. The first two paragraphs had me focused from the start.

I thought this was going to tell the story of an insecure woman’s relationship with her husband. She’s clearly an overthinker and always assumes the worst case scenario is going to happen.

In the beginning, the main character seems to love her husband above anyone else. She’s deeply scared that her husband will inevitably slip through her fingers somehow, cheat on her and leave.
I got confused and realized she was psychotic when she

cheats on him for the first time

halfway through the book. I didn’t expect this at all given how much she seems to love him and the way she wants him to love her just as much.

The ending was unexpected but nicely done in my opinion. I liked it but I have many unanswered questions.

This woman and her husband need to be kept AWAY from any children and put in a padlocked room away from society. GOOD GOD. I loved reading about her neuroses and how the author came back to certain points to make everything clear. It’s crazy how this woman is living in her own personal hell in the name of love. I personally loved the twist ending, I don’t care what that says about my taste.

The read was good. Ariane is so complex to the point that she's interesting. Ngl, I want to meet this character. The fact that the wife's name is not even mentioned in her monologue gives off a vibe that she's not important to herself anymore, or she lost herself long ago in search of the attention of her husband. Interestingly, her husband's name too, is barely mentioned, which further proves that she's in fact, "in love with love". The biggest drawback is that, after reading for a certain time you grow weary of her inner whining.
