Alex DysonHOST
I'm just wearing slop.
Matt OkineHOST
So I was watching this video and the lady and the guest of this Messy Parts podcast episode was a lady called Belle Burden.
Matt OkineHOST
She wrote a book called Strangers, a memoir of marriage.
Matt OkineHOST
What had happened in Belle's journey with her relationship was that she had discovered that her husband, of many, many years, and the life in which she believed was true, turned out to be cheating on her.
Alex DysonHOST
Like that would be an ice cold kind of reaction making the sandwich.
Alex DysonHOST
I think as ice cold as having a line, like go and go and make yourself one because you're going to be needing to figure out how to look after yourself from now on.
Matt OkineHOST
Well, I'll give you, I mean, what happened was author Belle Burden did make the sandwich.
Matt OkineHOST
There you go.
Serena KerriganGUEST
You have to have a fuck you fund.
Serena KerriganGUEST
And if you don't believe me, read Strangers by Bell Burden because that shit will blow your mind.
Serena KerriganGUEST
You always, always, always need to have your own money.
Serena KerriganGUEST
So I don't think of having, I've never like seen as a man as someone who's financially providing for me.
Marion WinikGUEST
And that's exactly what Burden has done.

KateAUDIENCE
So, uh, feel free to chime in.
KateAUDIENCE
Would love to also hear about, uh, the Bell Burden what's her name, the one about where her husband-
George CiverisHOST
Oh, I read that.
KateAUDIENCE
Okay.
George CiverisHOST
[laughs]
Sam TaggartHOST
Yeah.
George CiverisHOST
And then I did read Strangers by Bell Burden, but you didn't read it.
Sam TaggartHOST
I did not read that book.
Keren EldadGUEST
Do yourself a favor and start investigating the vestibules of your life.
Keren EldadGUEST
There's a book that has actually become a massive bestseller at the same time as my book, and that's Belle Burden's Strangers.
Keren EldadGUEST
And I wanna say one of the things that has really broken my heart most, Kristi, in watching her book tour, is that some people are blaming the victim and saying, "How could she not know?" You know what? I'm very, very clever.
Keren EldadGUEST
I have fancy degrees to prove it, and I didn't know either.
Sam SandersHOST
Yeah.
Traci ThomasGUEST
Yeah, so the book is by Belle Burden.
Traci ThomasGUEST
It's her memoir.
Traci ThomasGUEST
Um, it was originally a modern love story in The New York Times, and it's the story of how her husband was having an affair, and basically she caught the affair, and then the husband was like, "We're gonna work it out." And then the next day he woke up at 5:00 AM and was like, "Actually, I'm leaving you, and I'm gonna take the apartment in Tribeca, and you can stay here at the house on Martha's Vineyard." And this is at the top of COVID.
Traci ThomasGUEST
And it's her story, uh, of the dissolving of the marriage and of the discovery of all that was fundamentally wrong with the marriage, and it goes into the divorce.
Traci ThomasGUEST
And, and also it should be said that Belle Burden is a generational socialite.
Traci ThomasGUEST
[laughs]
Sam SandersHOST
Uh-huh.
Sasha PallariHOST
How funny is this? I have a book list on my notes app.
Sasha PallariHOST
And this one evening I'd written a book on there, Strangers by Belle Burden, a memoir of marriage.
Sasha PallariHOST
The next day, the PR of her book emailed me and said, hi, Sasha, I saw your divorce video.
Sasha PallariHOST
Would you like to receive a copy of this book? And I was like, that's mental.
Jeff O'NealHOST
Well, yeah, I think that's right.
Jeff O'NealHOST
And what I think to yes and that, the one that we have had this year is very much in that vein, Strangers by Bell Burden.

Right.
Jeff O'NealHOST

Jo WildHOST

Sarah LylesHOST
They both came out of nowhere.

He wanted it, he wanted me, and then he didn't.
Jamie LivingstonHOST
In March of 2020, Belle Burden was safe and secure with her family at their house on Martha's Vineyard, navigating the early days of the pandemic together, building fires in the late afternoons, drinking whiskey sours, making roast chicken.
Jamie LivingstonHOST
Then, with no warning or explanation, her husband of 20 years announced he was leaving her.
