While Three Women Season 1 Episode 1 introduced us to our leading ladies, the next several installments will focus on only one central story per episode. Three Women’s Season 1 Episode 2 focused on Lina. Her story seemed the most relatable, and my heart broke for her.
She was in a loveless marriage. Her husband hadn’t touched her in 45 days, and she implied she hadn’t been in love since she was with Aidan in high school. So many red flags made me wonder why Lina and Ed got married in the first place.
This was modern times, yet their marriage seemed so antiquated. It sometimes seemed like Ed married Lina only to breed children. There was no warmth between them like you often see between married couples, not even a simple caress of a shoulder or appreciation for what she did around the house.
It made sense why Lina became so overwhelmed caring for their boys and keeping house that she escaped to the bathroom for a minute’s peace. Many moms do that, though I’m unsure if many would admit to using their vibrator with their kids in the next room. She couldn’t handle pots overflowing and children constantly screaming with no breathing time.
While she didn’t have a heart attack, she had a panic attack, which mimicked several of the same symptoms. Poor Lina was surrounded by people who cared more about her image and her breakdown than her actual pain. Her family was just as terrible as her husband.
It almost sounded like they were in cahoots with Ed since they had heard .
