Introduction
In the gamut of human emotions that separates human beings from the lower rungs of animal evolution, none victimizes us more easily and inflicts its power more devastatingly than jealousy.
Viciously, it grasps us, choking off self worth, squeezing pride to death, and fills our heads with plumped up images of our lover hot in the arms of a guileless foe, whose every feature, every gesture we know better than ourselves. Precious intimacy dies, leaving us wilted, the laughingstock of our withered strength.
The symptoms seethe and blister into infectious contagions that kill marriages. Punishing His Wife is the story of a husband who, after three years of marriage, becomes bored with her 'conventional' lovemaking and tires of her nagging horror of oral sex. He seeks relief in bars and feels he's transcended the lower platitudes of guilt ... until he discovers his wife's interests have wandered beyond his bedroom door.
What ensues is a combat of will, until discovery leads to truth, and truth to freedom; freedom of the body, for her; a freedom from guilt, for him. Anyone who can admit to having suffered the embarrassment of jealousy, will benefit from turning the page.
