All Comments on 'A Wife For Christmas'

a divorce maybe? set him free

She let the words sink in as she watched him for a few seconds, then with damp eyes she walked away and back into the living room where she sat down with a sadness overcoming her, but suddenly with a smile she realized that there was indeed something she could give him for Christmas, a lot actually.

Would this sentence not make it a better story?

I suggest she buys him a gun so he can put himself out of his misery.

An interesting story trying to make a statement. But not what I come here for. Especially this section.

Sounds like a normal wife to me...

The last paragraph says it all, she knows she'll just continue to treat him poorly and has no interest in fixing things. The only gift she can give is to let him go.

She either isn't the only problem in the marriage or hes just too stupid to move on. He thinks her embrace of depression is stupid but he is embracing it as well by changing nothing, either the relationship or a di v orce? Pathetic.

Sounds very familiar to what my husband told me a few years ago. Due to my ego nothing has changed for us; I am curious to read how this wife handles the confession from her husband. I hope you ad more soon.

I think you said it all well written

please continue :)

Good start. Looking forward to the rest of the story!

It's clear that you didn't really plan on continuing this. However, I think it might be worth the effort to extend this and re-submit it as a longer "diatribe" (which this was simply too short to qualify as). Perhaps with an "I wish" from the wife's perspective!

I think that was brilliant, though I'm surprised she didn't interrupt him. I am enjoying the various outcomes that might follow and wonder what he might be getting for dinner!

That was simply perfect!
