Richard never ask why should be asked
Valerie, let's get married add apostrophe
You got married in the exact same month I did
Richard, at least, had great taste in music - though it is never a good idea for one member of a couple to have her interests driven back by the partner's interests - and not opening up - never a good idea
I can see how this marriage resulted under these circumstances - you explain it well. Brooke

Thank you for your king review and high rating. To be fair, Richard never insisted I only follow his lead...It was my choice...a way to change my life....not necessrily the best choice.

I found your story to be very interesting
perhaps because I can relate to it in a
different sort of way. Not in the way to
lose yourself as you write about but the
silence over honesty. I've lived this and now
it is too late to do the right thing.
This is just my opinion of course.
Your story is well done.

Thank you for your kind remarks. I understand what you are saying. For some silence is a refuge, for others it is a prison. Each of us must decide for ourselves which it is. Again, thank you for your kind review and high rating.

Why do I not expect the torment to totally disappear. Nothing does unless you finally confront it. I have learned that from experience. And, my experiences are nothing compared to yours. Very well written, I found no errors.

Hi smurphgirl
An interesting bio continues written in simple language and poignant. The thing that bothered me became your complete surrender to Richard's likes ... That means loss of some freedom and his full control.
Just a few suggestions:
1. The world, and what it offered, (was still) [remained]
foreign territory to me.
2. Richard always wore blue (jean)[jeans]
3. Valerie (was gone) [disappeared] and in her place[,]
(was) a devoted wife,
Just tried to cut out a couple of 'was' out.
Best regards - storyman29

You are correct, of course, my surrender was complete and not his intent...but my poor attempt at erasing the past. I appreciate your suggestions and will address them immediately. Again, thank your for your kind review.

This chapter flowed well and you kept my interest throughout.
An interesting ending with, what appears to be, and great beginning.
Will check out fanart when I have time to see your artwork.

This was a well written chapter. I like the line We were the perfect example of the expression, opposites attract. My wife and I, too were very much opposite when we got married. Well done- Sam
