Have you read Robertson Davies's Fifth Business? The novelist or a character standing in for him remark about the disaster to women it is to be married by those whose ideals they were as teens or so. (And there's the old "Washington is a city of important men and the women they married before they grew up"-- which I now find is Nora Ephron's. Eek!)
It's unusual to see a woman perpetrating that on a man, but class trumps all most of the time, I guess. Well, no. In this novel.
