Oh, this is not looking good for Marsha. Her husband is not showing any love at all, and is subtly turning the blame onto her for questioning him. Looking forward to more.

You wrote Joey's dialogue just right.

I felt the desperation here of a wife betrayed as she analyses her own behaviour, and we often blame ourselves for these situations when we are innocent in it all. Another fine chapter here Beth, love Dolly x x x

I am hoping he is working on some sort of surprise for his wife with that woman but it seems like he has guilty motives. Good pace to the story. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you, Marilyn, this is based on my friend's marriage, and it may turn out the way you hope unless I decide to really fictionalize it.

I'm enjoying this story and it's building up nicely. I find myself increasingly disliking Trenton so it's equally reassuring to read that Marsha is not going to be taking this lying down. Great hook at the end too. A couple of edits below. Thanks for sharing, Beth. Take care Debbie

This is the first chapter I've tuned into and I must say it caught my interest and I look forward to the next chapter. I'll try to find time to read chapters one and two.

Oh my!! I'm new to this book, but I am definitely intrigued and want to read the next chapter. First, though, I will catch up on the previous ones! This is well done, Beth! You keep the plot flowing and have dialogue that is well-paced and necessary. Nothing humdrum or dull, and that's not always easy. I'm glad I came across this!! xoxo

Hmmm...it appears the partners might know something...or maybe the woman is his wife...oh no! big mistake if it is. Great chapter in the story, Beth.

Your story is progressing well. One tiny typo: "it is eats away", otherwise, fine. I wonder if you should have shown her actually going into the lingerie shop and Jaredd's, to make it even more dramatic. Even though this tale takes place in my new home grounds, I am thankful my wife and I had a thoroughly honest relationship and I am thankful adultery was not part of it.

It is a terrible thing when we suspect a spouse cheating on us. I enjoyed your story very much reads very well when it is read aloud your sentence structure your punctuation and your paragraph is all done very well. Patricia.

    Thank you, Patricia I was convinced my husband would never do that I was jealous of him. Jealous will eat you up.
