Q. Did Lydia Bennet sleep with Wickham?
The great slit in the muslin gown is believed by some Austen scholars to be a hint about Lydia’s behavior. I don’t think she had actually slept with Wickham before they left, but it is clear that she wanted to, very badly, and it’s clear that she had allowed him certain liberties.
Q. Did Mr Collins have autism?

Q. Can ADHD ruin a marriage?

Q. Why do husbands ignore their wives?
Sometimes husbands tend to ignore their wives because of work or other personal matters that they don’t feel comfortable to discuss at that moment.
