Chapter 7 Summary
Doug and Annie attend their third therapy session with Monica. Doug explains to Monica that he feels better after having sex with another woman. He thinks that he’s evened the playing field a bit and that he can perhaps move on. Monica suggests that the need to cheat on Annie might be a symptom of unresolved anger, but Doug dismisses her. He asks to be done with therapy, and Monica, in a statement that seems “rehearsed” to Annie, thanks them for their work and tells them that they can go. In a final word of advice, she notes the importance of being completely honest with one’s self.
The next day, Doug brings home new clothing and lingerie for Annie. The two end up having sex. Doug is pleased, but Annie feels isolated and unhappy afterward. She cannot get over her memories of Doug locking her in the closet after upping her libido to 10. She questions her integrity because of all the lies that she’s told, not only to Doug but also to Jacobson’s son, Cody.
