With high fever and vomiting (thankfully, it wasn&#8217;t Covid), she was put on antibiotics on her first day, so she could not be in the sun for most part of our stay.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">From the outside, it looked like we had it all: we had rented a sumptuous and expensive lounge tent near the water, the weather was perfect, and the coconut man sold the freshest fruit. We had the best food, cold drinks in fashionable ice-bags, eco-friendly and\u00a0<\/span>elegantly fragranced sun lotion, good reads, warm and calm water, a salted pool&#8230; the sky seemed to be the limit.<\/p>\n<p>But Ben and I, like Catherine, were miserable.<\/p>\n<p>Far away from home for now almost two months, we were constantly together, we missed our friends, we had no life of our own, and we imploded.<\/p>\n<p>We were tired. We were angry. We hurt. We constantly fought.<\/p>\n<p>I thought that this story would be the newsletter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***<\/p>\n<p>But on the 13th of August, the day that marked 9 years without drugs and alcohol for me, I exchanged morning talks, over breakfast, with a French couple that I thought was judging us since the first dinner at the hotel&#8217;s restaurant.
