Take time and be sure that your revenge gives maximum hurt to everybody involved.
To see the true nature of humanity, one just needs to read the comment sections of a website. So many cowardly, f**king dicks..
Can't say it any better myself. Signed: BTW
Would have preferred longer story,so as to know how he coped ,about the divorce and hopefully some events against David.
I liked it. No moaning, no crying, no bullshit. Just here you are, why?, Goodbye.
I am not a writing genius but I do know that for a flash story, something important was missing that would have made it a good read
So many comments from people who want to read the same story over and over again. This hit the numbers. It was a brief moment in time, captured everything, and life changes. I get it and I liked it very much.
Where's the end? This wasn't even 1\2 a story. Wish I could score it less than a 1.
This really needs a chapter 2, maybe even 3. What happens to him, her, their marriage, the kids, and of course David (what if David is married?). Please do a follow-up.
“You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could’ve, would’ve happened… or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on."
Very sad. It's like someone has died. Betrayed by the one closest to you. He will have avhard time trusting women fo a long while.
When betrayal comes it no longer matters why, just that it happened is enough, take all you can and leave the rest behind. David should get his just do as well.
I read it again and I still like this story. It reads perfectly. It's intense. He builds that wall around his heart and moves forward. I have no doubt that she loves him and even his friend loves him. They separate their betrayal from their lives, but he can't and shouldn't try. Very well done.
These type's of story upset me. The wife hooking up with the supposed "BEST FRIEND".
Well the wife and the best friend need a lesson. For the wife divorce and being treated a a pariah by the mutual friends (especially those who knew David as well)>
For David a damned good beating where he is left unable to service any woman again.
Either u write cuck wimp stories or u write unsatisfying ones..can’t u strike a balance ?
The author has it ass backwards. The slut should be the one heading away from home.
It's more dramatic than saying he stayed there and told the wife SHE should leave only to have her argue with him over it. Silly plot device.
It was OK as a flash story but I prefer something with a little more meat on the bone. Too much left unsaid for my tastes.
Lower score. I hate flash stories because they just end abruptly usually at the best parts. Good stories that could be great if they were full length.
It’s all in your frame if mind when you find out. It’s like getting drunk; if your happy and having fun you will be a happy drunk. If your pissed off, mad, angry; you will be a mean drunk. If he was in a sad mood when he found out, he is going to be sad, depressed and yes just want to le@ve. If he was agitated/hurt and mad, then he would kick her ass out. A real pisser, his wife @nd best friend.
"I felt empty and incredibly sad. How do you lose your best friend in the world and go on?"
You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could’ve, would’ve happened… or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on.
Of course I don't know why he didn't tell Ruth to leave and go stay with David. It his house too after all. Move into one of the spare bedrooms. He'll need time to get all of their financials papers together before he goes and sees a divorce attorney. Why waste money to pay for some place to stay when she's the one that cheated. Just ignore her and do the shit you need to do.
4stars for a good start. If it was finished, I'm sure it would be 5stars worthy.
Story a little too short, would have liked more.
It’s always a laugh reading the comments from the really tough macho alpha’s complaining that he didn’t go Rambo on the slut and the guy, coincidentally these are the ones who are so brave they cloak themselves in anonymity just in case they’re called out on the nonsense they spout.
Very Good story line, I would of loved a bit more continuation, but you can't have everything.
I liked it. It's as good as any short story in the 750-word world, but it would be nice if Slirpuff could write a sequel and give us the rest of the story.
Not really a complete story... Not that I wanted Steve to go all Rambo but he at least should have done something. Also naturalistic endings almost always fall short when the back story and main character development badly sucks...
Not sure why you wrote this story.
A wife cheating with her husbands best friend is not a new plot, in fact it is an old plot.
Since you ended it without giving the wife a chance to talk there was nothing novel in the why, where or how questions from the husband.
Casbo38 - There must be a problem with your thinking, there is NOTHING the wife could have said that would have made things better. The story and probably the marriage ARE finished. Thanks Slirpuff.
