Maya is a thirty-something Bostonian unsure if the terrifying prospect of divorce is worth giving up something she can live with on some days — even if the other days are another story entirely.

Maya knows some women would say they'd kill to have a husband like hers — seemingly kind and supportive, certainly well-meaning — and would leave it at that. But she also wonders if those women aren't giving themselves enough credit? Loving themselves enough? She goes back and forth. And is sharing her journey here on FirstWivesWorld.com.

When Maya isn't fretting and writing, she is editing books, practicing yoga, or sipping wine with friends. But she mostly frets and writes. And very occasionally travels. That's her favorite.

Age: 30s
