I Wrote a Book About My Breakups; It Strengthen my Mariage

As someone who wrote about all her horrible breakups and then my big, Tall prince in blue jeans and sneakers was 3, i’m over the moon hearing taylor swift’s engagement to travis kelce. And while I’m Not a 5-Foot-10-inch Blond Showgirl Worth $ 1.6 Billion, and My Husband DOESN’T Watch Football, I’m Still Overientifying.

I Wrote About My Break-ups Publicly, and It Helped Save My Career-and Our Relationship.

He wasn’t Thrilled About with Publishing My Book About Break-ups

Swimming that my guy was as good a sport about it as kelce has ben. Then again, we had already been marries for five years and were going through infertility when i told my husband what i was working on. As a scriptwriter, he kept getting sent for Monthlong Business Trips, and we were arguing about it when i showed the draft of my book.

It was a sex-trugs-and-out-boyfriend Memoir Called “Five Men Who Broke My Heart“In it, I were back to re-meet my top five heartbreaks of all time to figure if I’d wound up with the right partner.

While I’d Been Having Ridiculous romances that didn’t work out Since I was 13, the benefit of marrying in my mid-30s was that I knew who was by then. And who was was was a writer.

So i let her him know, in a nice way, that was not the type who’d been sitting in my michigan hometown for my groom to off my religions and support me. I’d Moved to Manhattan at 20 to Chase My Dream of Being an Author. And if he couldn’t handle what i though might be my magnum opus, i underestood and was willing to take the risk for it to print.

He caught my gist, read the manuscript silently, and requested only two changes – that i use a different name for Him and not mention how old he was.

I have no regrets About Having SHARED MY BREAKUPS PUBLICly

I had no regrets about it publication, especialy becauses it led to several more books that my family, and i was so Much in life reinvigorated my marriage.

The real problem started a movie studio optioned my debut memoir, and i asked my husband to collaborate on the story he heated, whic Needed Him as the hero.

I did a funny first draw that it admires, except to let me know that has Having a deep revelation about my past romances in therapy was the opposite of cinematic. “She has to sleep with one of the guys, or it’s not dramatic,” he said to me. “It is a memoir based on my life,” I Arged. “SO I DON’T WANT TO FICTIONALIZE THAT.”

“If we kep working on this together, we’re going to wind up divorced,” he decided. So that was that.

I ENDED UP Letting The Studio Choose a Seasoned TV/Film Writer. She was Dark-Haired, Jewish, Maried, and Had a Doctor Father Like Mine, so i thought she’d be perfect. Alas, The Pages Never Cohered, and She Left the Project. Her Next Project, WHICH Won Several Emmys, was “the Affair,” About Someone Who Screws up Two Families by Taking a Lover.

I’m glad i chose my marty Irl over the movie version-especilly synce the book was recently re-optioned, just as we were celebrating Our 29^th Wedding Anniversary.

I Only Hope Taylor and Travis Will Be As Lucky in Love As We’ve Been.
