Quote(s)

1.    Bella grew out of our love for each other. I want to keep that part of us alive and thriving. We owe it to ourselves and to our daughter.

2.    In order to be a good mother, she had to take care of herself and her relationship with her husband too.

3.    I’m not sure you can balance it all – not by yourself and not every day. Some days I’m a better mom and some days I’m better at my job. The hardest part is making time for my marriage, but I have a great husband. he doesn’t let me push us aside for too long, and he shoulders half of the kid-wrangling. More than half in the summer.

4.    Our family is going to look different than your family because it’s ours. Your mother stayed home and took care of things. My mother ran off because she felt trapped. Our picture will look different than either of those.

5.    “Do you want to quit?”

“Do you want me to?” she flashed back.

He paused, all too aware of the dragons surrounding them.

“I want what you want, Claire. Whatever you want. When I married you, I promised to spend my life seeing to your happiness, but you have to decide what that means.”

“That makes me sound like a selfish princess.”

“It makes you sound like a woman whose husband adores her because you showed him how to love someone besides himself.” He waited, judging her mood before he pushed ahead. “I love working with you. I value you and what you do, but we’re lucky. If you want to stay home and take care of Bella, you can do it. If I never make another dime, we could live comfortably for the rest of our lives. I will support you no matter what you decide.”

6.    I’ve been trying to say for weeks now. when you were nursing, it made sense for most of the baby stuff to fall to you, but now that you’re done we can figure it out together. she’s not a problem to solve and you’re not the only one with choices to make. I’ve worked damn hard to make sure you understand that I know your career isn’t any less important than mine. You’re not alone in this, Claire, and it pisses me off that you’d try to close me off. We’re a team. We build things together. our buildings. Our family. Our love.
