"But the trace of anger I felt when I was asked about dating, or encouraged to work at it, was because of the subtext: 'You won't be okay until you have another man to protect you. We won't be comfortable with you, with the state of things, until you are back in the norm. If you don't recouple, we will place you in the dreaded category of divorced women--those who haven't "moved on"'".
