What scared me was that I'd finally realized... I am frightened of my own husband.

#qt5243373-3 / read by Amit-54

What scared me was how much he wanted to hurt me more.

#qt5243373-2 / read by Teja-84

What scared me wasn't that he'd pushed me.

You had a pile of nitwits diagnose me as a sociopath.

#qt3183686-6 / read by Shuja-34

I didn't use the 'I' word. I said you two were extremely close.

#qt3183686-5 / read by Shriram-60

You implied that I had carnal relations with my sister.

#qt3183686-4 / read by Teja-84

Well, I go where the story goes.

#qt3183686-3 / read by Shuja-34

You went on national television and told people that I murdered my wife.

#qt3183686-2 / read by Shriram-60

I so appreciate you giving us this time, Nick.

#qt3183686-1 / read by Shriram-60

Well I thought there might be another side to this story.

#qt3183685-7 / read by Shriram-60

Your wife is missing, and you came all this way to tell me this?

#qt3183685-6 / read by Shriram-60

She dumped you, you completely unravelled. You stalked her, you threatened her, you attempted suicide in her bed and were institutionalised.

#qt3183685-5 / read by Subhajit-81

She was my first serious girlfriend.

#qt3183685-4 / read by Shriram-60

I always wondered why you kept in touch, after everything. You were together for two years in boarding school, right?

He doesn't get to win. My cute, charming, salt-of-the-earth Missouri guy. He needed to learn.

#qt2414463-41 / read by Teja-84

Then he dragged me, penniless, to the navel of this great country and found himself a newer, younger, bouncier cool girl.

#qt2414463-40 / read by Subhajit-81

He became someone I did not agree to marry. He actually expected me to love him unconditionally.

#qt2414463-39 / read by Subhajit-81

And what's the point of being together if you're not the happiest? But Nick got lazy.

#qt2414463-38 / read by Shuja-34

We were happy pretending to be other people. We were the happiest couple we knew.

#qt2414463-37 / read by Shriram-60

I inspired him to rise to my level. I forged the man of my dreams.

When I met Nick Dunne I knew he wanted 'Cool girl'. And for him, I'll admit: I was willing to try.

#qt2414463-29 / read by Teja-84

Cool girl never gets angry at her man. She only smiles in a chagrined, loving manner.

#qt2414463-28 / read by Subhajit-81

Cool girl is hot. Cool girl is game. Cool girl is fun.

#qt2414463-27 / read by Shriram-60

'Cool girl'. Men always use that, don't they? As their defining compliment: She's a cool girl.

#qt2414463-26 / read by Subhajit-81

Nick loved a girl I was pretending to be.

#qt2414463-25 / read by Shriram-60
