Cheater

My bet is, Jennifer will leave Phillip for Francesca once she gets a child from Phillip. Jennifer will , take half of everything Phillip has in the divorce and get alimony plus get child support to raise "her" child with Francesca.

Love and desire - how thoroughly we conflate the two. An astute piece of introspection. Incomplete, but perhaps necessarily so. Life is, more often than not, open ended and unavoidably unresolved. A moving piece. Thank you very much.

I appreciate your comment. Imperfect people living imperfectly in an imperfect world.

I wouldn't say I liked it because you left it unfinished.

What a fine character study of a pair of people each paralyzed with uncertainty! 5 stars

A nicely tangled tale of a conflicted woman and her two loves. Messy, awkward, confusing and loving.

I love it. Thank you

Switching tense, past and present, was jarring and took me out of the story to re-read a paragraph here and there, playing catch-up, trying to figure out what I missed. One tense would have made it a lot more readable. I felt a bit like a shuttlecock in a game of badminton.

It is a finely wrought tale of a woman in conflict. Her sexual ambivilence is lovingly and empathically explored. "The Willing Suspension of Disbelief" is engaged from word one.

A comment elsewhere concerning tenses is almost irrelevant, given the way you have switched scenes and perspective. It may well be flawed but it doesn't matter.

More please!

Backstabbing both of them.

I do hope Phillip somehow finds those letters and confronts her about her lying cheating character. She cheated. Woman, man, venusian. Doesn't matter. Cheating is cheating and he'd requested honesty concerning their relationship. She lied.

It was dramatic, but the story line sucked. KS
