You just sit there like a slob while I do all the work. Nine years later, this is increasingly what goes through Sarah's mind when she looks at Evan, propped in front of the TV with a beer, ignoring their two children. The truth is, she misses her old life. She misses the old Eddie. She can't help wondering if she'd be happier alone . . . When Eddie's job sends him to Chicago indefinitely, Sarah shocks him by suggesting a trial separation.
