When I first picked up this book a year ago I read almost half of it and got bored so I put it down. Now a year later I'm thinking that it probably wasn't the time for me to read it. For some reason yesterday I thought of it and felt a crazy inclination to finish it. I have to say that I thought what Margarita did was disgusting. Not only did she cheat on her husband, but she cheated without using any protection. Honestly a pregnancy was the least of what could've happened to her. Her betrayal, and her lack of protection, plus her having sex with both men sometimes in the same day showed her complete lack of respect, and consideration for her husband. Still, I believe that her husband's conspiring with her mother and farmacist to get her pregnant so that she wouldn't work to fit his picture of what their world should be like was equally disgusting. So, in my Opinion they're even. I know if it had been me though, I would've confessed to my betrayal in my anger just to get him back for what he did to me, instead of doing what she ended up doing. But this is why I am younger and less mature than she was, and perhaps too, less latin and catholic, as I believe in divorce whole heartedly if you're not in love. I don't think that parents not being together makes a difference in whether the parents are decent ones if they are decent ones. This would've been the best time for a divorce because Martin is at the perfect age where he'll never remember his parents together so won't know any difference. After all this though, due to Ariel and Margarita's immense capacity for betrayal, , I believe that they deserve each other and belong together. Why send them out in to the world to destroy other people? This is such Gerry springer type crap! hahahaha
