David is Monique’s husband. At the beginning of the book, the couple is separated, and David is living in San Francisco. The separation allows Monique to reassess her relationship with him, and she ultimately realizes that she’s not all that sad about the marriage ending—in fact, David was a safe option for a partner, and he never truly fulfilled her.
