X-Files Book Club

I did know how I felt about the sex. I just didn't know what the authors's feelings about it were. I think that disturbed me as much as the sex itself, which was wrong, wrong, and wrong. Did I mention wrong? I like to think of myself as open-minded and unconventional, but I definitely ran up against my own prejudice against infidelity while I was reading this fic. I had a much harder time reading this than I did "Tikkun Olam." Absolutely much of the "ew" had to do with who the characters were. I would like to understand why Teena Mulder had an affair with this jerk. I don't feel like I gained any insight into her at all. Maybe I just didn't like what I saw. I think because I am a parent myself, and because I am much closer to her age than to any other character on The X-Files, I tend to cut her some slack. I assume better intentions perhaps than she deserves. I can't seem to turn her into the evil woman that so many fans seems to want to do, and I feel this story fit into that category. That seems too easy.
