Character from House M.D. by David Shore
Taub's long-suffering wife who gave him an ultimatum — plastic surgery or their marriage — and watched him choose the marriage while continuing to cheat anyway.
Rachel Taub made Chris give up his plastic surgery practice because his affairs with patients and staff were destroying their marriage. He complied. He joined House's team. He kept cheating. Rachel eventually agreed to try an open marriage, then backed out because she couldn't stop imagining him with other women. She joined an online support group for spouses of unfaithful partners and developed a close friendship that Taub accused of being an emotional affair. They divorced. She got pregnant with Sophia. Taub also got his girlfriend Ruby pregnant with Sophie. Rachel's story is the quiet tragedy of loving someone who will never stop disappointing you.
Dark-haired, average build, with the tired eyes of a woman who has spent years knowing her husband is unfaithful and deciding whether today is the day she stops pretending not to notice.
Also known as: Rachel, Mrs. Taub
