The Waves: It’s OK to Hate Your Spouse (Sometimes)

Palus talks with Heather Havrilesky about the divine tedium of
marriage. They discuss Heather’s book, Foreverland and the
explosive response the book initially got (especially when Heather
called her husband “a heap of laundry”). Later in the show, they
dig into what to do when your husband is truly being a little bit
of a patriarchal jerk.   In Slate Plus, a behind the
scenes look at what goes into writing the Ask Polly column.
