A little background might help

So far we discover that Jacky is a premature ejaculator and doesn't know how to please a lady with his mouth (despite being married). We open with him at a swingers event and some lady takes an interest in him. We never find out why Alice is cold to him (other than his incompetence in sexual relations). It would be nice to have some context to the failing marriage before he moves on to Momo. I can't score it yet since there is too much unexplained. Good writing so far but please fill in the details of the estrangement and give us some more information as to Maureens agenda. Thanks for the story!

One more thing

Given the events so far, I'm not sure he had much of a manhood to reclaim. He does seem pretty wimpy as told so far.

Thank you for reading, I aim to explore Maureen’s motives and Jack’s marriage as I get deeper into the series. Hang on to your seat because it gets interesting.

What could really help.

An editor who has English as a first language. Clearly English is not your first language so you should seek help.

Thank you for reading. Wow this is awkward. English is my first language.😂 I just write what’s in my head. Sometimes it comes out great and other times not so much. Feel free to just not read my work if it really bothers you, I try🤷🏾‍♀️.

Well... that marriage is indeed over. Well written despite some editing quibbles. can't say I have much empathy for the characters, but not essential to the story. My reaction to these characters.... ychh. It's not about reclamation of manhood, but self-respect for acquiescing to infidelity. The solution is up front: a divorce. Why just cheat? No children, no problem. And hopefully, a no fault state. Look in her eyes, say your piece, serve the petition, recieve a decree, move on. A marriage is only sacred if the partners treat it that way. If not, then it's not a marriage. But this author captures the dysfunctional ethos very well. Well done.
