In my reading, they gave some explanation of her motivation in order to prevent it reading simply as a list of why she was bad and he was good.<br /><br />The bit about being wry - if you read Wesley's words as "although I tried hard to behave well in the marriage, don't expect me to ask her to come back!", then the description fits. One might read it as simple statement, however.<br /><br />The bit about what Wesley should have done, I took to be another attempt to balance what would otherwise have been a very one-sided piece. But maybe I am simply reading this through my own filter, in which one would take descriptions of abuse as so clearly one-sided that they stand on their own against other editorial remarks.Buzzfloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907833292561328868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-84468395460226918962011-04-02T18:58:09.243+01:002011-04-02T18:58:09.243+01:00:0) Hi Magdalena - waving from England!:0) Hi Magdalena - waving from England!Pen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-21388373078154836352011-04-02T08:41:38.113+01:002011-04-02T08:41:38.113+01:00Oh, my!

I don't think anyone who had even a passing acquaintance with John Wesley, anyone who had even heard of him, would have been expecting normal domestic joys. I guess she imagined he'd change. Some hope.<br /><br />Heh heh Ganeida - yes I am a Wesley fan.

If only the author had said, "*They* (rather than he...) should have been prepared for marriage." I suspect that if they were both properly prepared, they'd have called it off.<br />How sad.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840431195234661911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-23763838474114051892011-03-31T19:17:55.422+01:002011-03-31T19:17:55.422+01:00:0) Hi ladies x:0) Hi ladies xPen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-58203784485290610532011-03-31T15:14:24.610+01:002011-03-31T15:14:24.610+01:00This was just great...the rant was wonderful.
