If there's a silver lining to the emptiness, here it is: the unfillable is what brings people together. I've never made a friend by bragging about my strengths, but I've made countless by sharing my weakness and my emptiness.” Melton tells Craig that she is pregnant with their second child, and they decide to get married. Melton tries to act like a housewife by watching TV commercials with housewives in them and trying to mimic what they do. Shortly thereafter, Melton gives birth to a healthy baby boy whom they name Chase. As Chase grows older, he develops differently from other boys his age—he’s more sensitive than most kids are at that stage of development. He also doesn’t seem interested in sports or cars the way other boys his age are; instead, he shows an interest in art and music. This causes some tension between him and Craig because Craig only seems interested in connecting through sex; however, this is something that Melton can’t get into as much as her husband wants it (she finds it boring). She does her best to humor her husband even though she isn’t really into it (it makes her feel disgusted), but she insists on keeping all pornography out of the home so there will be no temptation for either one of them when they’re together alone at home. But then I would get to a part in the book that talked about grief and it consumed me. I felt like she was speaking directly to me. In a two-year span of my life, my brother and Dad both died in tragic and devastating ways. She was describing exactly what I went through at that time in my life.

I'm not a mess but a deeply feeling person in a messy world. I explain that now, when someone asks me why I cry so often, I say, 'For the same reason I laugh so often--because I'm paying attention.' I tell them that we can choose to be perfect and admired or to be real and loved. We must decide.” a b c Elisabeth Egan (March 5, 2020). "A Third Glennon Doyle Memoir?

Pain is a part of life. It is the price we pay for being alive and aware, and no one can escape it. But pain does not have to be a source of suffering. In fact, accepting pain as a part of life is perhaps the purest form of authenticity and self-love. The author of Love Warrior, Glennon Doyle Melton, wrote a book about her struggles with addiction and bulimia. She has opened up in the past about how she used to drink too much alcohol and binge eat. In this book, she talks about how her husband cheated on her for years while they were married. The marriage ended when it was revealed that he had been cheating on her all along. Now sober, Melton finds herself struggling with depression as a result of the end of her marriage and the loss of love from someone who meant everything to her. We hear about her sex life, and how much she doesn't like sex, really from the word go, then how her husband had porn, and subsequently, affairs - and while I don't agree with how he handled things - she was clearly not into it and not seeming to look to solve that very big issue in their relationship, so no surprise there - except she wonders why he fooled around when he was not getting any from her. (And when he did, she hated it...hmmmm.) Untamed has sold more than two million copies as of February 2021. [10] A television series based on Untamed is being developed by J. J. Abrams's production company, [17] with Sarah Paulson expected to be the lead. [18] Sarah Paulson was the only actress to audition for the role, and Doyle said Paulson is the perfect actress to play her because she is "somebody who is a transformational actor, who is in touch with the world and involved in everything we care about, and who is queer".
