Getting better on the SPAGS. Slowly but surely!!
Comment from Hadria
So far so good, this is a fascinating exploration of relationships between two couples, and I am looking forward to part 2. You have left out a word at the end of para. 8 - should read "......consoled each other as friends often DO". The story moves along well, and the personalities of all four characters are becoming quite well establised.

Nothing is ever cut-and-dried. Sometimes there are justifiable circumstances that lead to adultery. I would think that this is one of them. When I met my wife, she was separated- not legally divorced as her husband - who was living with his mother- was a drug addict who only cared for his addictions and himself- did not and still does not even give a shit about his kids. He is, by the way, still an addict. Adulterer? If that's the label, give me a scarlet A.

Yep. I didn't want to take a stand. Just let the piece stand on its own. But, I knew the parties involved. I can't believe it took years. mikey
Comment from Spitfire
This is an interesting post. Both couples have a reason to turn to another and maybe that's better than breaking up if they're children involved. Certainly, marriage therapy should be a first step before letting things get this far.

That is true. I know Bill pretty well. He is hopeless. He has always treated women poorly and always will. No brain. And Margie is gay. Can't talk her out of that. Well, I already know the ending. I'll let you read it, mikey
Comment from amada
The story is excellent, even if the theme is not new, old as in the biblical times, it has the flavor of the modern times, what could be happening in the couple across the street. Excellent beginning.

Infidelity in an unhappy marriage can happen quite easily. Very rarely have I heard of infidelity in a happy marriage. Quite an interesting story, nicely told in your unique way.

That is true. It has never even crossed my mind with Donna. It just isn't a factor. Glad you are enjoying it.
Comment from nelliesellie
Is it unfaithful when everyone knows and everyone is the relationship? I dislike people being unfaithful with sex. They have less reason too give love and affection away. Even the highly sexed couples spend little of their time having sex. They spend a lot more time together when they should be working on their love and friendship. People who care about themselves do not share sex with just anybody.

People are too loose and way to quick to forgive especially women. Don't forgive these stupid guys, dump them. They will never learn. I should know, I am one. hahaha. You have it right on the money with that last line. It is about yourself and your own character. mikey
Comment from Green Lake Girl
You're tackling a hot, interesting, and relevant topic here, Mikey. Infidelity is common. In some cases I would call it most damnable. In other cases I would not. You're telling a story of "justified" infidelity, and I do use the term loosely.
One is a fool, and indeed begging for trouble if one talks to their mate with little respect and belittles them in from of others. Should a person exit that kind of toxic marriage before infidelity occurs? Absolutely. But people run to something , not from something.
My first husband cheated on me. I now consider that he did me a favor. The marriage ended quickly after I found out. I got on with my life and am now a much better person for it.
The human condition wants to be happy. Misery and unhappiness drives people to do all sorts of things. Anything to be happy again.
Looking forward to Part II. Didn't mean to rattle on so long . . .

I love rattling. Where would I be without it!! Love your insights and appreciate your story. Part two tonight. Never had a girl cheat on me that I know of. But, I always leave the door wide open for one to leave if that is what they want. Always voluntary with me. Even my wife of twenty nine years. mikey

Comment from humpwhistle
Infidelity is one of the most damnable of transgressions. Seldom does an act receive such a unified condemnation. Cheating on one's mate is common. It is universally thought to be the wrongest of wrongs. Even cheaters themselves agree.
Michael, forgive me for wearing my debating cap. The above statement stopped me dead in my tracks. Infidelity is not universally considered to be the wrongest of wrongs. Many cultures tolerate--even encourage--infidelity. Yes, the 'secret' kind. And it has been so forever.
While I get your point and agree, in principle, I feel your piece is weakened by sweeping generalizations that are untrue--and, unnecessary.
If you want to build this argument, restrict it to your own culture. These people you're talking about. By making sweeping generalizations, you build your argument on a house of cards.
I hope you see my point.
Peace, Lee

Yes, that is an excellent point. I was looking at it from a narrow point of view namely my own from the perspective of here in my little world. I will rewrite to reflect that. Thank you for the insight, mikey
