"You had him. You gave him up for some... extra sex. Why? Just because you were afraid of getting older, and thought he had no other options. He never would have given you up. Not for anything or anyone."
Travis was pleased with the life he was living, even if it wasn't his first choice. He had moved on from what he considered an untenable situation.
Lauren's life wasn't exactly one of loneliness and remorse. After all, she was still a good-looking woman, and good-looking women often just need to show up to have men hit on them. Lauren got hit on a lot and had quite a few short-term relationships. None of them, however, blossomed into anything long-term.
As she looked back on it, Lauren would have to admit to herself that she was remorseful for telling her then-husband that she was going to step out on him; only because she still couldn't wrap her head around the fact that Travis had relinquished her so easily. How could she have miscalculated so badly, she often wondered to herself. She was a 12. He was a mere six. It was not supposed to end like this.

Sometime in your mid-late thirties or so that alone ups your game.
onecuriousreader6 days agoshe a supposed 12 in body, a 3 in mind and a 1 in soul.. so when adding her score up out of 30 in mind body and soul, she is barely a passing human being at 16/30
Anonymous7 days agoReading again. Liked it even more as I absorbed more of the subtleties in the plot.
.
For example: Lauren never did let go of her narcissism. Even more than a decade after the divorce, she still couldn’t admit to ferself that she fucked up.
.
What still irritated me a bit was how casual his daughters were with their mother’s behavior … not just her slutting around, but how she hurt their Dad and never seemed to regret doing it. How could they appear so blasé about that?

Still 5 *****
Anonymous9 days agoMy second read and still enjoyed it. Reading a couple months worth of comments leaves me wondering if we are reading the same tale - apparently not. Oh well, thanks Hooked.

Cpdtp13 days agoI liked how she didn't found any sort of epiphany. Maybe too many stories hamfist a lot that the cheating spouse will end up drowning in bitter regret, but sometimes that's a very long term conclusion, and sometimes it doesn't even happen because said (ex) spouse is strong at rationalising their selfish actions and mistakes.
Will Lauren end up regretting what she did? It actually sounds unlikely, considering she tanked Syphilis and she's known as the town's bicycle but is still in denial and she's still satisfied about life.
Long story short, she's trash, MC dodged a much bigger bullet than he thought and now it's time to enjoy life to the fullest and not look back.
