The Waves: Gender, Relationships, Feminism

It’s OK to Hate Your Spouse (Sometimes)


Listen Later

On this week’s episode of The Waves, Slate senior editor Shannon Palus talks with Heather Havrilesky about the divine tedium of marriage. They discuss Heather’s book, Foreverland and the explosive response the book initially got (especially when Heather called her husband “a heap of laundry”). Later in the show, they dig into what to do when your husband is truly being a little bit of a patriarchal jerk.  


In Slate Plus, a behind the scenes look at what goes into writing the Ask Polly column. 

 

Podcast production by Cheyna Roth and Tori Dominguez with editorial oversight by Daisy Rosario and Alicia Montgomery.
