She stopped at the door and he wondered what she was waiting for, because everything that had ever been between them had ended.

Finally she turned back to look at him and he couldn't believe the tears that ran down her face.

"Why couldn't you grow up, Bobby? Why couldn't you become a man? I loved you, but I couldn't keep loving a man I didn't respect and I haven't respected you in a long time."

He found himself smiling sadly at her.

"I guess the old folks were smarter than we thought, Gail. You remember, my grandfather, your grandfather, all your friends. Everybody told us we'd never last, that we just came from two different worlds. We knew better though, didn't we? What do kids know?"

He tried to hold onto the smile as he felt his vision blur.

"But I'm not sorry we tried, Gail, you hear me. Even now, I'm not sorry we tried to make it work."

Then she was gone.

I have to believe if he's "that type of man" he would never sign papers letting his wife's lover off scott free and that given who the prosecution is, lover boy would do serious time for that bad a beating. It crosses into a felony and he'd spend years in prison. That alone would be worth the suffering for "that type of man". And it would certainly be worth it to see his about to be ex-wife suffer for years. Money can't buy that type of revenge. And unless he signed an iron-clad pre-nup, he have substantial money after the divorce.

Wow what crap. Can I get a story that the guy isn't a complete wimp.

I guess I don’t understand why he signs. At the very least, he should ask Cam the Man to come in and beg him to do it. It is a small satisfaction and more importantly, ends up not having him open to criminal charges of assault and battery. Which the little shit could now press with his confession. And his wife will go along with it because she “loves Cam the Man.” Cool. Setting someone free doesn’t mean you have to free the one who put you in hospital in a cowardly attack. This is what karma is about. Even rich people get to suffer from it occasionally! Let the ex learn that. That is itself its own act of love. As is a swaying set of DD’s!

I liked the mechanics of the story, it’s just the story itself that makes me upset.
