"Despair" was powerful, sir.
In all of my years here, the one thing that never ceases to amaze me is just how hard infidelity hits people.

NoThanksForTheMemories, will the novel be shared or will it stay secret. I like word smithing too!
If I'm lucky, it will be published (I have 3 other novels to my name already). Unfortunately, even if that does come to pass, I can't share the info here without breaking anonymity. The novel doesn't directly cover infidelity. Instead, the main character's fiance dies, and I drew on my heartbreak and sense of loss to write her experience.

Unhinged, thank you! It wasn’t as hard to write because it was just the pain pouring out of me.
I know infidelity hits everyone hard but it’s absolutely devastating to some folks like me.
