Penny froze, her face ghost-like. Daniel wondered, idly, how Marcia's confrontation was going. "Not an affair, exactly," he said, concluding his explanation, "just being a good neighbour." He smiled a mischievous grin before adding, just for the rhetorical effect, "Who knows, maybe a little wife-swapping, or an open marriage, perhaps? What do you think?" He realized, though, that of all the possible resolutions of the current situation, that one was incredibly unlikely.
Notwithstanding, he watched her, his errant wife, in the ensuing silence, as she struggled with her emotions. He could just imagine what was going through her head: distress, guilt, betrayal, discomfit – all traversing her face, and flashing through her eyes. Surprisingly, he felt no anger, only a sort of smug self-satisfaction.
"I don't know" he mused, "is there a difference between getting even and revenge?"

Anonymous7 months agoNice build up , then you left it with a lot of questions that wanted answered , but somehow ended it with that being okay .kind of like the Korean War -,it never officially ended but it happily stopped .! 4 stars
kirei89 months agoTypical for flash stories in this genre. Take it to the ninth inning, then call the game. Not the way to earn more recognition stars.

You. Are. An. Idiot.
1. Once a partner... man or woman, betrayed the other in such a manner, all claims on fidelity of the betrayed partner are null and void. There is no longer a marriage to consider.
2. If the protagonist in this story has not been shown that his wife was betraying him, he would not have stepped over the line.
3. Any person who is betrayed in such a manner owes nothing to the betrayer. At all.
4. Someone betrayed in such a manner can have their psyche redeemed by someone outside the relationship... a task that has been forfeited by the betraying partner.
5. This web site is called 'loving wives'. That tends to set the precedent that the person engaging in adventure outside of the standard matrimonial constraints is going to be the woman. If you want to read about men acting like dogs and sometimes getting their comeuppance, go to the web site 'loving husbands'.

Left the ending to the readers.
I am ambiguous and switch between the btbs and reconciliation.??
iammweaselover 1 year agoWell they both went over the cliff on this one, but generally most male writers find it acceptable for the men to cheat but not women.
And rest assured there are a lot of knuckle draggers here who will ok a man cheating if the wife isnt putting out, but if the husband is puttin gout and the wife cheats...well the little fragile boys just wet themselves in anger.
In this case they both are rotten people.
