I was the primary caregiver and did not work full time for a lot of the kids young years. So there's lots of devastation at the end of a marriage like that. One is well it's been 18, 19 years. How could this have happened? I thought you were my person. And not only is the present now completely imploding but now the future I've been counting on just went completely poof.
Relationships are hard. When do you know it’s time to marry? When do you know it’s time to break up? We get inside those questions with Kara, Nayeema and our guest today: Maggie Smith. The poet’s viral 2016 poem “Good Bones” was accompanied by professional success, and cracks in her personal life. Smith talks about that fallout, documented in her new memoir “This Place Could be Beautiful” – and whether life is more beautiful on the other side.
