@jonknight, Dude you literally ripped a page out of my life. I had an ex named Susan, was with her for 9 years (not married though), the "mating for life" was referenced many a time regarding various animals from penguins, orcas, and other birds. lots of other bits lined up too. Difference is she probably would have killed me though, lol. Good write up :)
I swear I wasn't spying, man!
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
lol, I think its a show of how well you have established the "realness" of the characters :) you also expressed their existence in a way which could be related to, even if the names and years dont line up like it did for me.
That has to be one of the best compliments I could receive - Thank you!
Credit where credit is due my friend, keep it up you are right on the money with your character development :)
