Comment from Ulla
Yes, a frightening selfish man, and I'm afraid you have portrayed many a man on this earth. Not all are like this, I know, but too many are. You have written a fine poem, Pam. Ulla xcx

Comment from Aussie
A natural poet you. Most men will wander when allowed. They only think about one thing and if the wife is dull and boring of course he'll go out scoring. Faithful men are hard to find, we they are the wife will be too.

Comment from lancellot
Very interesting. Selfish? Maybe, but it seems he didn't actually cheat on his wife, at least according to the poem. But she killed herself, and he gets the blame for her sin. Oh well, someone has to. Good tale and solid rhyme.

hi. Perhaps I wasn't clear here, but, she did not kill herself. She was sick with cancer or something else that made her lose all the weight and made her cry. Maybe I should've used cancer in the poem somewhere
Thank you for your wonderful comments
Comment from GWHARGIS
This is the type of poem that makes you wonder how often this happens. Do people change before its too late or do they not change at all. This was a riveting and sorrowful tale. She was sick and if he had been paying any attention he would have known. But when you put people to the side, its easy to pass right on by. Gretchen

Comment from Heather Knight
You've written a beautiful story, full of complex feelings. Life and relationships are never easy, are they?
I feel sorry for the man even if he didn't behave as he should have.
Thanks for sharing.

I also feel sorry for him. Some people just can't handle losing a spouse and figure that if they just stay away, it will hurt less when that spouse dies. It's never true, but I do have some sympathy for him.
Thank you for the extra star and for your wonderful review
Comment from LJbutterfly
You've created a riveting tale of deception, lust, regret, and lost love...and made it all rhyme. The story included enough detail that the reader could envision a pitiful man at a club, jealous of single guys as he watched an exotic dancer while his wife lies dying at home. I especially noted the detail about the man's wife lost weight but looked tired. This is a well put together story with a picture that intensified the meaning.

Thank you, LJ for your wonderful review and forgetting the whole concept of the poem. Perhaps I should've use the word cancer in the poem because some people thought that she committed suicide and that he got blamed for
It's so hard to write so everybody understands.
Thank you for your wonderful comments

hi. He was both selfish and conflicted
a lot of men can't handle having a sick individual near to them. he could not so he went out carousing, and then came home after she gone to bed so he would not have to deal with her
Thank you for your beautiful review
Comment from barbara.wilkey
A small part of me feels sorry for this man, but the majority of me is angry with him for being so selfish. He was too self-absorbed to be a real husband to his wife. How sad. You did an excellent job writing this poem.

Part of me feels sorry for him too. Some people just can't handle their spouses illness. I Started out the same way with my husband when he got his dementia. But then I buckled down and helped him as much as I could because I loved him he passed last year. But he was very happy because I had ensured that all of his needs and wants were taken care of.
