"The Girls in their Summer Dresses"

As I was reading this story, I have impressions about who Frances was and her role in the relationship. Frances does not like conflicts. If once could observe her in real life, she would not appear as a "go getter" that takes actions and flights for what she wants. Throughout her relationship, she has a one-sided war going on inside of her; she "fights" for what she wants not internally, not externally. Because she does not like conflict between her husband and herself, she settles and tries to ignore and not deal with the fact that he is attracted to other women. Towards the end, just before she calls the Stevenson's, she shruggs off her feelings about her husband being attracted to other women and asks him to keep his comments about other women to himself.
