I believe her. The story makes sense to me. It was nice to read a complete short story. Seems like all the authors want multiple chapters anymore. I don't get on the computer enough to read chapters every day. Keep up the writing DG. You write them and I'll be here to read them.
A loyal fan.
Sounds like it's about time for Britt and Peter to pop out a few rug rats and have some real fun.
Well done, DG. I always look forward to your stories.
This was well done as usual - nice read.
Regards, Jack
That is a real tear jerker i started to feel Peters hurt and i know how it feels not having a job and when i graduated from high school i had trouble like him finding a job and being a religious person like him i feel for him and Britt .

DG,
A simple story, well told. The fact that a story this short can get the emotions running like this is a testament to the author. Thanks!
What a crock of bible thumping bull-shit. You should save this crap for lighthouse, or one of those other relgious rags.
This is a very good story line and well written. Perhaps one needs to weed ones own garden once in a while to remove the weeds growing in it. There were many "weeds" in this story that neither spouse "weeded".
A loving couple and one can wonder how many times has it happened to couples. Certainly has been enough of the layoffs.
Good writing DG.
Another well written story by DG Hear, but as it's written it's very hard to feel any sympathy for Daniel who spends his time boozing it up with the local bar girls while his wife is out working to pay the bills, then goes ballistic when he sees his wife holding a guys hand. Why the hell would Brittany want to keep an idiot like this for a husband? 60 year old George
Short;simple;concise;with credible and moving characters - how rare!
BTW To the reader who resents the church part. I am no church enthusiast, but prctically speaking, where did you want this guy to go - another bar? one of many community centers (which do not exist for no money)?
It's nice that the boozehound straightened his shit out but this was one mushy story. At least you didn't have her put in irons and sent to a debtors prison simply because she touched another man's hand like so many of these stories do. So I gave you 2 because it wasn't so one sided towards the man.
A sentimental story that shows us life as it very often is - could well have been in the "Loving Wives" class. All the best for 2007! Pete.
this is a good although short. gives a lot of advice in how a marriage should be. i liked the God is the answer to all undertone. great story
He is a drunk in waiting and she is open to seduction. Life is stressful even under good conditions. Their decision to have a kid WILL NOT make things better. Kids are great, really! But no one can deny they add stress to your lives and cut deeply into personal time with your spouse.
They are too immature to start a family and too poor to finance one.
"... she is open to seduction." Yeah, and once a cheater, always a cheater, right? Even though she didn't cheat, she didn't snatch her hands away immediately and slap the guy. What a slut and whore. The wimp should kick her sorry ass out. No, wait. He would have no where to go and no money to use to get drunk.
DG, it's too bad you didn't have her cheat. You could have made some people very happy.
caricatures like this are not entertaining - they are pathetic
not by an chance, the bills and credit are just starting
We all have them and sometimes the people who we love the most push them the hardest -
We really need to think of those we love more and about ourselves a lot less.
Thanks -
I don't know how this one slipped by me. I'm surprised it's gotten so few comments. I really liked it. D.G. hit a home run here.
An inspirational tale. Just goes to show there's always hope, even when it seems impossible.

had he continued drinking....so easy to be sweet talked in to opening her legs for another guy especially with money....happens all too often....but men are such gutless assholes that they always end up boozing and throwing money away...so no wonder women give out to men who look after them better....one big lesson learned before it was too late....
I don't normally read stories that make the 'admission' at the start about "NO SEX".....well, this is a sort-of sex-based site!!
But I'm glad I did. Very modern story - about the problems of modern life, and the difficulties encountered trying to 'get by', when you are just 'average' (which a few billion of the population are!).
Glad about the happy ending!!
The only thing I disagreed about, was the religious aspect - but each to their own (as Dave Allan used to wisely advise......)
Gave it a 5*s because it's nicely written and had me totally involved. It's a scenario that could happen to most anyone and they at least didn't launch into revenge fucking without finding truth first.
don't fall into others words. because they do it for their benefit.
realistic but I don't think they are ready to have a child. They need to work out their issues and see if he stays sober for at least a year.
Could have so easily went tits up. Communication is key. Never assume what other people is telling you is the truth but DO assume they're telling you for their benefit, and therefore always ask: "what do they stand to gain if what they're telling me is true?" That approach will save a lot of hassle. Oh, and of course, never stoop as low as revenge cheating, especially if your basis is hearsay or less than hard evidence. Glad it worked out for these two in the end. Or at least until the next temptation or predator pops up.
