:43:02
Because I used to say to him,
:43:05
"It's called foreplay.
:43:08
It's supposed to be play.
:43:09
It's supposed to be fun. "
:43:12
And he treated it like work.
:43:14
Like this is what you're
supposed to do when you do it,

:43:18
like washing the dishes.
:43:21
If he was so much in the closet
and not living with her

:43:23
and not attracted,
where was she for 30 years?

:43:26
Why didn't she say, "Honey,
you're not having sex with me.

:43:28
I think I want a divorce. "
:43:30
Where was she?
:43:31
I don't think that's the case.
:43:32
Either they're
both crazy,

:43:34
which is a possibility,
:43:36
or
:43:40
or he was perfectly normal,
:43:42
based according to, you
know, by her standards.

:43:46
You're the one for me
:43:53
It was a difficult marriage
because of Elaine.

:43:57
She had her problems, and it
took a monumental amount

:44:02
of patience and love
and caring to handle it.

:44:06
It wasn't easy for him.
:44:08
It wasn't easy for the kids.
:44:11
But they were able
to live with it.

:44:14
She was the best mother
she knew how.

:44:16
She loved her kids,
and she loved her husband.

:44:18
She wasn't the warmest,
:44:20
most outgoing human being
in the world.

:44:24
When I had the first child,
I was just ecstatic,

:44:30
but I didn't know
how to do it.

:44:36
And I wasn't the most
:44:43
well-balanced person myself.
:44:45
You know, we all have
hang-ups, and

:44:49
that's my hang-up.
:44:52
Good things can never
happen to me, only bad.

:44:58
That's all the snapshots.
