One book could be 'The Group' by Mary McCarthy. It focuses on the lives and relationships of a group of women friends, which might include situations related to being friends with a wife in a non - erotic, more about friendship and social dynamics way.
The book 'Anne of Green Gables' also has elements of friendship. Although it's mainly about the protagonist's own growth and relationships, it gives an idea of how friendships are formed and maintained, which could be relevant when thinking about a wife's friend in a non - erotic sense.
I don't have any specific stories about this combination at hand. However, they could potentially be involved in various positive scenarios like the doctor friend helping the couple during a health crisis, or they might be friends who often have dinners together and share interesting life experiences.
One great book is 'The Catcher in the Rye' which delves into the thoughts and experiences of a young male. It shows his struggles, growth, and relationships in a very real and relatable way.
There are many great books that have a strong sense of conclusion within their stories. For example, 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. It has a clear ending where the truth about Boo Radley is revealed and Scout has grown and learned a great deal about justice and prejudice in her small town. The story finishes in a way that ties up the main plotlines and leaves the reader with a sense of satisfaction.
One book you could try is 'The Notebook' by Nicholas Sparks. It features an older couple and their deep and passionate love story. The story is full of tender moments and the kind of love that endures through time.
'A Man Called Ove' by Fredrik Backman also has elements of a loving relationship. Sonja, Ove's wife, is a central figure in the story. Their relationship, though not without difficulties, is filled with love and mutual understanding that endures through the years.
Well, an ex - wife story could be about how she was really into gardening. She had this beautiful flower garden that she tended to every day. It was like her own little paradise. We used to sit in the garden and have coffee in the mornings. It was a very peaceful and lovely time. But as life went on, our interests started to diverge in other areas and that was part of the reason we drifted apart.
Another great option is 'Anne of Green Gables'. It tells the story of an orphan girl Anne, her adventures in Green Gables, and her relationships with the people around her. It's full of warmth and positive values.
I knew an ex - wife who started a small business making handmade candles. She was so creative with her scents and designs. She managed to build a good customer base and her business grew steadily. It was great to see her become independent and successful after the divorce.
One appropriate story could be that the guy and his wife's best friend team up to plan a surprise anniversary party for his wife. They work together to book the venue, choose the menu, and invite all the guests. It's a story of friendship and cooperation within the boundaries of a proper relationship.
There's a story about a pet girl, Sarah. Sarah has a pet rabbit. She made a cozy little hutch for the rabbit in her backyard. Sarah spends her evenings sitting near the hutch, talking softly to the rabbit. She grows fresh vegetables in her small garden for the rabbit to eat. Her relationship with the rabbit is so special that it's like they have their own little world filled with gentle interactions and mutual understanding.
