“If another woman steals your man, let her keep
him. Real men can’t be stolen.”-Anonymous
That miserable bastard. Her loving husband of
three years was so happy when they got pregnant.
In her seventh month she came home early from
the office, feeling ill. She found her sister, Wendy,
in bed with Ralph.
She was so angry, she had Ralph pack a bag, and
she threw both of them out of the house. Her mother
sympathized with her. His mother said she should
have offered him more sex.
Later, having clam chowder alone, the raw shock
wore off, and she began weeping. How could she
have so trusting, so naive? Dealing with a divorce,
and her slutty sister seemed too much to deal with.
Suddenly, she felt a stabbing pain in her chest, as
her heart was shattering. No, hell no, he, they, were
not worth a heart attack. She had it sliced away,
leaving a scar.

Wow. That's definitely one hell of a scar, Glenn. Damn.
Much love,

Wow!! This is absorbing. Quote and all
Much💚love
That's so sad, and so true. So many people bear those scars.
Wow! The penultimate betrayal....and then the ending that hits you in the gut! She is one strong woman....she'll make it, I know!
Just like watching the afternoon Soaps! The pain and anguish of such situations always leave scars.
Quite a scar for her. It's too bad she didn't find out what a horrible person he is before then.
The slice almost a stab, sliced away, and it remains...loved that little comment from his mother...
Some wounds just strike too deep.
Glenn, it is good to be reading you again <3 I *love* your epigram. It's true. It's also true that sometimes there is no other remedy to get over betrayal than removal of the offending object (one's heart.)
Nothing more final than the cut. This was strong Glenn. Hope you are doing well my friend.
Great story.
That baby is going to have a hard time too :(
Wow, that was a great read. I don't know why, but the "clam chowder" detail just killed me, it made the whole thing better. :-)
