They're not your husband

They're not your husband

They're not your husband is about a man who is dissatisfied by his wife's appearance and is seeking approval by strangers to improve his own confidence in her looks. The man pressures his wife into losing weight to the point where she becomes ill. His forceful actions are due to his own insecurities with himself and his own social appearance.

The author writes very straight to the point with little fuss over extra details. The repeated use of the word 'said' shows the lack of expression used by the characters, which goes hand in hand with the writer's style. The author writes in a very realistic manner, causing the reader to feel as though the story is real. Whilst the narrative is not dark, the issue is quite confronting and realistic.
