Thoughts on chapters 5-7

Chapters 5-7 were page turners for me, they made me scared to get old, fat and to get married. A lot of old married couples end up not being happy together, and there are so many health problems and heart aches that come with growing old, I’m not looking forward to it and it freaks me out.
I thought it was really sad how Bonnie and Harmon’s marriage was falling apart, not just the marriage, but the love and compassion for each other was just gone. One of my goals if I even decide to get married is to never become a stranger to my husband or allow him to become a stranger to me. I think this is why Harmon has such a fascination for young people, they have the energy to love one another and he misses having that with Bonnie, which is why he ultimately decides to leave her for Daisy. I felt bad for bonnie but I understand Bonnie didn’t even make an effort, so Daisy and Harmon developed the connection that Harmon and Bonnie lost. If I decide to get married, I want my relationship to be like Jane and Bob, after all the years together they’re still crazy in love. All the cute little comments that Bob makes to Jane, how well they know each other’s thoughts and emotions without even having to say anything and how they always want to be there for each other.
I’m still not quite sure why this book is titled Olive Kitteridge, but from what we’ve read so far. I feel like Olive is connected in everyone’s lives in some way or another. She makes people view things from a new light, a different perspective. She made a big impact on Kevin and even on Nina. She’s almost manipulative in a way, sometimes in a good way like with Kevin and other times to be malicious, like what she did to her son’s new wife just to mess with her.
