Dearest Benjamin - Chapter 6

Our letter writer details her struggles with a marriage she entered when she was still only a teenager, to Leif, a boy she grew up with who lived down the street from her when she was a young child. She describes dealing with unaffectionate but very wealthy in-laws, her husband's infidelity, and her own painful decision to leave the relationship entirely when it became too difficult to bear. Once again, we hear that Conrad was there to lovingly pick up the pieces and encourage the divorce along, and that Garrett experienced a u-turn of his own once reality set in. 

Lyrics at the beginning are from the song "Oops, I Did It Again" by Britney Spears. 

Stay tuned for Chapter 7, where we learn all about her brief and confusing life in Dallas with a boy named Dirk, her decision to move prematurely back to Madison, and a crisis involving Benjamin.
