She starts seeing a therapist, who points out that Vanessa needs to leave. It becomes worse after they are unable to have children, which both believe is due to an abortion she had in college which she did not tell him about, partially due to the father being one of her professors, who was married. Richard started gas-lighting and abusing Vanessa, cutting her off from friends and family. Part two starts with what happened between Vanessa and Richard. It was Richard's idea to give Vanessa the nickname Nellie, because when they first met, she was a "nervous nellie." We learn that Vanessa and Nellie are the same person (Vanessa being her present self, and Nellie being her past self). Nellie is Richard's new fiancée, a pre-school teacher. She lives with her aunt in New York City and is working at a clothing store to get by after her divorce from Richard. Vanessa is watching her ex husband's new fiancée. The Wife Between Us is a 2018 thriller novel written by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen.
