"She (Wilma Jerzcyck) believed in her heart that marriage was a lifetime adventure in aggression, and in such a long campaign, where ultimately no prisoners could be taken, no quarter given, no patch of marital landscape left unscorched, such easy victories might eventually lose their savor. But that time had not yet come..." Needful Things, novel by Stephen King, page 130. And yes, her husband Pete had been conquered, a pathetic and submissive simp.
