"My Wife's Story" by Richard Babcock is a funny but slightly sinister story about a man's wife who repeats the same story over and over during their marriage so many times that the husband can barely stand to hear it again.  The story, though, is the thing that made him fall in love with her in the first place, but it's worn out now and is like a broken record.There is much humor in this Kindle Single and at the same time there is suspense that builds up as both parties in this marriage become more frustrated with each other.  The wife feels that she has every right to listen for a cue to start up with her long-winded story, and her husband often reminds her that maybe she shouldn't tell it so much anymore.  There is no compromising.  The story happened when the wife was a child and it's a source of pride to her because it involved a well-known heiress.It's the case of the quiet husband with the talkative wife who seems to be overbearing and a caricature of herself that she was when first married.It's a very well-written and entertaining story that is worth the time spent reading it.  It's also a smartly written tale of a marriage that has been neglected over the years that becomes quite a story in itself.
