We'll call this one Adelaide.  She's 29, upset by a recent divorce from a man she described as not understanding or caring about her needs.  She doesn't have kids.  She's spent 8 years thinking about him - his needs - what dinner he likes, laying out his clothes, feeding him before herself, giving him backrubs and footrubs, paying the bills, keeping the house, having the house painted blue because  that was his favorite color...
