Comment from Marie Foster1
I often write poems not from personal experiences. So, I will not assume that this is something you have personally experienced. As a woman, I am inclined to think that men are the cheaters. God knows I have encountered quite a few in my time. I laughed at the end...that last line kind of summed it up :) I enjoyed it.

Comment from Spitfire
Nice details about how he discovered her infidelity.
The speaker's personality is clearly defined. I admire his philosophy.
Spag: It's not that I followed her explained what I learned. (You need a comma after her)
Refreshingly clever.

Comment from Gail Denham
Yup - time to move on - when a woman (or man) has no shame in showing they are gallivanting around. Sad story happens so often in relationship. Only drawback is when children are involved.
Good poem

Comment from Patty Palmer
It sounds like trouble to me! I liked your poem with its rhythm and rhyme. it's sad when it doesn't work out as you hoped. There's a song that one of the lines says"somebody always loves a little more." Good luck!

Well done, I know I made a suggestion elsewhere but it looks ok I guess. Keep up the good work. I reckon the picture is so appropriate as well. Good work.

Yes a Man can only absorb so much, though like a true Man he must just walk away when he has had enough, there is a great message in here, stay true to yourself and you will eventually come out on top, very well done****kahpot

My goodness I have not read a poem like this in years.
I guess the pain for them is to hard to bare. Hey all this is part of life we live we learn and thank god move on.
Thank you for sharing

It is only painful for the young and inexperience whether male or female. I was not a clever champion on my first heartbreak. The poem is a reflection of the experience in the situation. I'm sure if it's realistic. Thanks for reading, Miss Cookie.

Comment from royowen
I wondered why God ordered Hosea the prophet to marry a prostitute. Of course it would be the same as Isaiah walking naked for three years, to reveal the sin nakedness of His people, and the prostitution with other nations of Israel. Beautifully written Phil, although I think it's at likely men committing adultery. Well done my friend, good point, blessings, Roy

I'd be out the door the first time and never look back. There are some things that you can work through, but constant cheating isn't one of them. So many let it go on. Amazes me. Well done sir. Rox

Comment from karenina
Once again your poetry is personal, deeply moving and has such a raw edge my heart has a slice taken from it. Nothing is worse then the betrayal of love. While I would not resort to calling her a "Ho"--I realize I come from a different cultural background and I am not judging what I do not know. She (if this is non-fiction)--was certainly clandestine and wily and deceiving...and those words, for me, are truer descriptions. Keep writing your truth...it is "poetic therapy" and very effective!--Karenina
