The Next Wife Quotes
I mean, men aren’t that original. They’re simple beings, easy to figure out. Keep them happy, well fed in all areas if you get my drift, and voilà – a happy life.
from The Next Wife book by Kaira Rouda
Some of us know how to keep our men, and some, well, they just don’t.

It’s a day of new beginnings. The company is public. We’re rich, and we’re so in love. And no one is going to ruin this relationship. No one will come between us. I’m going to get to the bottom of everything. I’m a problem solver.

Tish was like running away to a private Caribbean island in the midst of stress and grown-up problems. A temptation I was too weak to ignore.
from The Next Wife book by Kaira Rouda
I felt something reconnecting between us. It’s like finding a favorite sweater that was at the bottom of your drawer, and you pull it on, and it feels just right. In fact, it felt great.

He’s everything I dreamed about all those years ago. Everything I never had. Everything I always wanted. A loving man, a happy home, and a successful career: all the things girls in my hometown never thought they could have. I knew what I wanted. I found it. The perfect job. And then the perfect boss turned into my dream husband. I worked hard to get it. I am not going to let this all go.

from The Next Wife book by Kaira Rouda
Tish and I aren’t having outward obvious fights, no name-calling; no plate throwing is going on. That’s not my style, though if you asked me right now, I would tell you it’s hers. I can feel her rage building like a summer storm. I haven’t really paid much attention to us, to her, not with everything else that’s going on. But I feel it between us now like a live grenade. I don’t know what will happen if one of us pulls the pin.

These first wives do struggle. They have to give birth to the baby, or babies, and then devote themselves to the kids for the rest of their lives. That’s the biggest thing. Us next wives waltz in after all the potty training, the shots, the school selection, the homework.
from The Next Wife book by Kaira Rouda
I like my men wealthy and broken in, and the kids, if they have to be around, happily away at college.
from The Next Wife book by Kaira Rouda
We’re all creatures of our environment. I’m the type of person who figures out how to get ahead.

News travels fast. Bad news, faster. Tragic news, the fastest.

I guess that’s true of people in general. They only see what they want to see, even when the truth is right in front of them.
from The Next Wife book by Kaira Rouda
Honestly, the last thing that attracts men is a woman who seems smarter, savvier, and more powerful than they are in business. Trust me.
from The Next Wife book by Kaira Rouda
You’re a piece of work. Not sure how we lasted so long. But I’m glad we’re finished.
from The Next Wife book by Kaira Rouda
My therapist said rage is a dangerous form of anger: violent and uncontrollable. Maybe so, but I will put it to good use.
from The Next Wife book by Kaira Rouda
Digging around in other people’s business isn’t healthy. In fact, it can be dangerous.
from The Next Wife book by Kaira Rouda
Here’s the thing – the line between love and hate is so thin. So very precarious.
from The Next Wife book by Kaira Rouda
I’m afraid of being poor again. I’m afraid of being discovered as a fraud. I’m afraid I’m not good enough, just like my momma always said.
from The Next Wife book by Kaira Rouda
It’s good to keep your enemies off balance. It’s true in business – and in life, I’m learning.
from The Next Wife book by Kaira Rouda
I am so sick and tired of people messing with me. Threatening me. Underestimating me. It’s exhausting sometimes, but it does make you stronger. And I am invincible.
from The Next Wife book by Kaira Rouda
It’s silly, but every once in a while, it feels good to be a step ahead of your enemy.
from The Next Wife book by Kaira Rouda
Anger can benefit relationships, even though society tells us anger is dangerous and we should hide it. Hidden anger in intimate relationships can be detrimental, that’s for sure. But it’s also true that all emotions have a purpose and evolve to keep us safe. Anger is instinctual. It fuels our primitive need to live and protect ourselves. Anger sharpens our focus, pushes us to fight back when attacked and act to defend ourselves.
