Most unlikely places-- the airplane or the thigh? An odd place to meet him too---a gay bar and she's with another woman. Michael could easily have misconstrued that. Maybe marriage was a cover up for both of them?

Thanks so much. Everybody thinks they met in a gay bar, I think that's funny. All I meant was that the bartender was gay and therefore being sexist and not attending to her. Thanks again, Ulla:)))

Great twist, Ulla. You did give some hints too, so you didn't cheat us at all.
My first wife left me for a woman, so I can relate. LOL Good times.
It's a strange feeling and certainly not exactly the same as being left for another man in my case or another woman in the case of your character. I guess there's the factor that you can't really compete and that takes some of the sting away. But then there's a whole lot of other factors. It didn't bother me though, she was an awful woman. HAHAHA! Great twist. Very inventive. mikey

Hi Mikey, hahaha. This is a great review. I'm so glad you liked it. The airline bit is true as I flew for more than twenty years, but never experienced the 'thigh thing' personally. hehe Don't know if I'd been as stoically as you. But of course you never know the circumstances. Glad you liked it. These potlatces are a blast. I love it. Ulla:)))

Oh, well, so much for Michael. This is a charming, little story. I am glad Mary learned the truth about Mike early in their marriage. You sucked me in with your description of their courtship and surprised me with your ending. Thank you for sharing.

An unwelcome surprise. Maybe they were at a gay pub. It kind of sounds that way. This is well written and I like the twist at the end. Good work, my friend~Debbie

Lovely piece of flash fiction. You build the story so well then bam! the twist at the end. Well done. Your writing flowed beautifully, as normal, and kept my attention throughout.

Oh my gosh, that is so terrible!!! I have to admit, that was one cruel twist! I figured she was going to find him cheating, but with another man, not so much! Very well done.
Good luck in the contest,
Rhonda

I expected another woman but not a man. In today's society I should not make any assumptions. This is a very good story and I enjoyed reading.

A good flash story, Ulla. My, that had to be a complete surprise for her! I know I would be shocked. A definite twist at the end of the story.

I know of two cases where the woman unknowingly married a gay male. Neither married lasted. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words.
