That's the title of the article Lance Armstrong's ex-wife wrote for Glamour magazine. She was on Oprah yesterday promoting it, saying she felt smothered and defeated by her four years with L.A.
It was an interesting interview and she talks more about it RIGHT HERE. (But don't you think she looks a bit like JENNIFER WILBANKS' MUGSHOT in that photo?)

I'd feel pretty smothered by simply having 3 kids in 4 years, much less being married to someone with such a big ego!
What I wish I'd known about marriage was that you have to do a little bit for 'the marriage' each and every day, and be honest about your needs and expectations. Also not to talk about issues when you have set aside time to have fun, and to never, ever 'slander' your mate to others. there are some things in a marriage that should remain between the two of you and NOT be shared, even with people who care.
I saw her on Oprah and all I could think was what do you expect when you drop everything that makes you an interesting person? That is certainly not, what a healthy marriage is about.
She became non-existent in the relationship when she dropped everything that was part of her essential character and brought her happiness when she stopped pursuing any personal interests in her marriage and as a mother.
Early feminism was all about women discovering what a disaster it was for a marriage and selfhood to allow your identity to disappear after getting married and while raising your children. Women discovered in the 1960's it is not sufficient to a be a "wife and mother" to lead a healthy well-balanced life.
The new trend and attitude by many well-educated interesting women is to drop their identity and become and pretend that "wife and mother" is enough without retaining a shred of what made them fabulous to themselves and to their husbands. It catches up to women at some point, either when their husband leaves them for new younger interesting women or when the kids get older.
