Mini review of 'they're not your husband'

Today in class we read a rather unusual piece in that it was very different from what is usually read in class. This story explored troubled mind of a sales man named Earl Ober. Ober's character is written to be disliked. He is heavily influenced by the opinions of two men to the extent that he can no longer look at his wife with the eyes of lust he once had for her. From that moment on Earl becomes possessed and like an anorexic teenager he becomes fixated on the weight loss habits of his wife. Like a true salesman he polishes his product, makes it appeal to the buyer and talks it up. In this case the product is his wife. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if later on in the story she left her over critical, poor excuse for a lover.
