Click hereWith everyone's eyes on me, I bypassed the long viewing line and walked right up to the open casket. Ann had lost a ton of weight but all in all looked about the same as I'd seen her at the auction. I didn't kneel or even acknowledge the people to my right or left that we now crying.
"Ann I told myself that if you died before me that I'd spit and dance on your grave," I said softly. "I'll never forget what you did to me, but if it will give you any comfort in the after life, I forgive you." I turned around, walked past the gawkers, out the mortuary, to my car and left.
Rhonda comforted me that night as I again told her how much I loved her. We fell asleep in front of the fireplace as I ended an ugly chapter of my life.
Now Ann's kids are starting to e-mail every week, telling me what's going on with them and how they want me in their life. Have I answered any of their e-mails yet? No. Do I plan to? I'm not sure. Who knows, maybe one day before I die.

secretsalabout 2 months agoThe conversation with Ann has a nice comedy vibe to it, maybe partly because of her mostly deadpan deliveries, and the inconsistencies - she was screwing around because the sex was too good, or the guy didn't know how to use his dick, which one is it? Fun story, if only for the pigheadedness.
Anonymous2 months agoFour stars for an unhappy story with characters it's hard to like. The tale could have gone in many directions, but this is the one the writer chose. Again, four stars for a well written tale that it is hard to like.

Anonymous2 months ago@grassisgreener. YOU DO CUT OFF KIDS LIKE THAT. THEY WERE ADULTS AND CHOSE EVIL. Immoral choices deserve bad consequences . IRL, you may or may not eventually forgive them, but there is nothing wrong with not forgiving. Sentimentality is most often poisonous and oftenresults in a lack of justice.
GrassIsGreener2 months agoHe deserved kids like that. What an ass. So they took their mothers side. She was wrong and so were they. Don't cut off your kids. Sorry
bacchant23 months agoWriter hasnt written for years, so not much point in commenting. Regardless this was spoiled for me by death and childish obsession with size.
Anonymous3 months agoA story about a self righteous cry baby. You tore my heart out as so I can be cruel and vicious. Rhonda better watch out for this prick.
Anonymous5 months agoAnn seemed a study in contradictions. One moment she is talking about Tim having a bigger c$ck but not knowing how to use it and him being inferior in oral sex to the MC, but then down the page further, she says the affair was over six months, she only did it the last couple of mo ths because the sex was too good to pass up and yet she wa about to break it off before Tim leaked the phone call. Huh?
One one side she says she is sorry for destroying so many lives, but she never tells her kids the truth. She didn't want to marry Tim but moved him to cover the bills, but the MC only went nuclear in divorce smackdown because she moved the asshole.in and the kids were fine with it. And she marries him because she was alone and thought it woukd smooth thing with the kids.
And the kids? Seriously. Wtf? They are brainless automata. They never communicate with the father before Tim moves in. They don't sit down and talk to him directly? They are adults but take everything as gospel from Ann? Huh?
Her character made little sense. She came off as remorseful later on, having only been married to Tim for less than 3 years, and admitting she nevwr wanted him as a husband, but she lets Tim maneuver her way into her life, thiugh her ex was the better husband. Guess marriage isn't only about orgasms, and even those while cheating must have been about the thrill, because while bigger she implied he was a poorer lover from an objective standpoint.
Now stricken with late stage breast cancer but she comes to her ex for comfort? Seriously she was a hot mess. And beyond her mentioning wanting some spice.and getting reeled in by a con artist, there is never any discussion of why she cheated. Of course given the fallout, can understand why MC no longer cares.

Rethink one thing and it's a one time only deal, maybe you can trust a woman named Rhonda. *****'s Signed: BTW
Anonymous5 months agoGreat story, SP, thanks again for sharing. This is, I think, my third reading and I think I enjoy it more each time. If I have any criticism, it’s the harsh way the MC talked to his ex after he learned she had cancer. I went through that with my wife, the chemo, the radiation, the surgery, and I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy. For the person who has it that is without a doubt the most miserable existence there can be.
Anyway, it’s your story and it’s a great one.

Oatmeal19696 months agohe was very bitter about it and carried the pain way too long. He should have had his say after the auction, cut the evening short and not allowed her to email him.
"I should thank you. Had you not betrayed me I would be with you now. Full of grief and committed to helping you and your children cope with this tragedy. I would have taken the full weight of your fear, anxiety and pain and tried everything I could to save you. Failing that, I would have loved you as mercilessly as I did every day since we married and until the cancer took you from me."
"Instead, you viciously severed our bonds of matrimony. The quick cut took away all the pain of losing you and replaced it with anger and mistrust. I would not have been forced to watch you die, watch you slowly slip away from me and taking me with you. I'm sorry for my lack of empathy but..."
"No... that's not right. Actually, I'm not sorry! My callousness was created the moment I caught you cheating after twenty-five years together and allowing our children to choose your lover over me. I pray that after this evening, I can finally put the loss of our marriage behind me... I've tried, but the pain of betrayal has felt insurmountable... I want to find myself again. the man I was before. And I want to learn to trust and love again... and that starts now. I will no longer accept the pain of our divorce."
"I hope you overcome your cancer to enjoy your family for years to come but I don't want to ever see or hear from you again. Goodbye Anne."
Anonymous6 months agoThe best part was after Ann got the auction date with her ex-husband and he clearly stated that he still hates her for being a cheating slut! If it were me I wouldn’t ever forgive her!
Anonymous6 months agoRead this a few times and can never understand why Rhonda did not go with him. I can just see her in a long black dress with a black parasol holding his hand. Had she gone with him it would have been the final insult to his dead wife. This was an opportunity missed.
Anonymous7 months agoI was dancing between four stars and five. I settled on Five Stars. An awful amount of angst.

AllNigher7 months agoHard to find any good characters in this but I enjoyed it. MC is kind of an ass to me but maybe from being hurt so badly...I guess understandable. Still... How do you abandon your kids with no chance. Though to digest for me... Kids make mistakes.
Anyway, this I've left me confused in the end on how to feel. The last bit, forgiving her AFTER she died seems like another needless lock in the face. Couldn't have done that before she passed?
