In general a good story, but the "not blood-related" thing ruined it for me.
Sorry.
Strange story. But is that what true love is all about?
A saying goes somewhat 'Love is a feeling between two fools', can't really remember.
Thank heavens I am not a fool.
An unusual story, but very well written. Made me feel sad somehow, but there are many ways to give and show love for someone. Thank you for sharing your talent. I hope that you write more. :) Sunshine.
Few men would put up with constant cheating, hard to see how she loved him. The "daughter" seducing him was fine, but the lapse of days before her work informed him of the wife's death made no sense, unless she died in the arms of another.
Lovers answering the phone; frequent byte marks; excuses and blow-offs, not leaving itineraries...
One element all too quickly elided over was her jealousy. Therein the real story in discovering the emotional components between his blind love and her selfish love.
I loved the story. People need to realize this is fiction. You write because you like to and if it is good enough, you get the readers to see the emotions in the story. I did. It is a sad story, but with a happy ending. Thanks for your time and imagination.
A different lifestyle?
Rare situation for a man, but very common for women, alas.
How many wife stay at home with the kids while the “travelling salesman” husband has a lady in every town? The wife just grits her teeth and endures.
Wow I've been there, the bliss of ignorance, the hurt and pain. Its like your writing how I felt at the time but me and my wife finally talked and we made rules and boundaries and 10 years on I think we are more in love than before, anyway I digress great plot and I'm going to definitely read your other stories.
I think the dumbest part is when abagail claimed him cheating on her would kill her but she obviously had no reserves on spreading her legs for any stranger in any town. Really can be that stupid??
