Six months later we had a celebration of sorts. We were together and happy again. That's not to say there weren't problems, some huge ones at the times but this time we talked about them and solved them. Do we have a storybook marriage? No, they don't exist. We have what every other happy couple has, a marriage that takes work in order to survive. And, fifteen years later, we're still working on it, but we're still happy.
Share the love

Not vintage Slirpuff
But I'm glad to Mr. Stephen Moore back on this site again.

I felt it boiled down to them using him
And he allowed it. Instead of putting his foot down he allowed them all to walk all over him. Not to say that he deserved it, but he was partially to blame. What I don't understand? It sounds like with all her therapy she hasn't learned that much. I mean she was all up in his face when they first saw each other after all the time that had passed. She had changed her looks to suit herself and immediately wanted him to fall into line with her eating habits. She's still self centered and looking out for number one. I can't believe he didn't turn around and walk away in an act of self preservation. All the talking in the world wasn't going to change who she and her kids were. Nope - once again you have stretched the limits of plausibility and ended a story in an unbelievable manner. They talked, they got divorced and moved on. The end.more...

had it right. In this particular situation I've had the experience and the marriage went straight down the tubes. Sometimes talking doesn't and can't stop the situation from occurring again....

scoring
I have a problem with some of the commentors. The scoring goes over all the stories. Have you read any of those other stories? Most of those people can't spell much less put together enough thoughts to make a story. I am not trying to change your mind. I don't care. Your opinion is yours. I only ask that you be fair overall. If the scoring only went for Slirpuff, no big deal. You're dragging a decent writer into the realm of the illiterates. Sorry. Loving wives is too wide open as it is. Some authors can tell a satisfying story in half a page. Some can take 55 pages and make you want more (LONGHORN__07). Let's be fair. Reward the good ones.more...
