I'm super-excited about this story :) I think you've done some really interesting things with the characters, and I love how you've incorporated "real-life" stuff like the vocal cord surgery to make a really poignant scene. I'm convinced by Bill and Andreas as a couple - I, too, have first-hand knowledge of why people stay with people who are cheating - but I'm not so sure about Tom and Katherine. They just seem really miserable, and I'd like a little more explanation as to why they're still even trying to make it work. Maybe because Tom inherited her father's firm he feels an obligation to stay? As a wine shop employee I did wince at the treatment of a good pinot noir, but I've enjoyed everything else so far. Will be keeping an eye on this.
Author's Response:
I am glad you like it. I try to make my stories as realistic as possible so that they feel real. Bill and Andreas are hard for me to write even though I have been in a relationship like this. I have a hard time remembering why I stayed in a relationship like that. Tom and Katherine remind me of those people that stay together just because it is easier than getting divorced. Plus they have a kid together, that could tend to complicate things.
rnI know very little about wine as a not much of wine drinker myself. I guessed. I'm sorry if it was bad. I thank you for taking the time to read my story and leave a review. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story.

I can relate to Bill sooo much. I had been in a similiar relationship and I didn't know how to get out of it. Unfortunately no Tom rescued me, I had to do it myself - take my daughters and go away. But I'm proud of myself!
I'm crossing my fingers for Bill and Tom and their hapiness!
Author's Response:
I can relate to Bill. I was in a bad relationship. Like you I had to rescue myself but you definitely had more of a challenge since I don't have kids. I would be proud to have a story like that. I hope this will turn out that way. Thanks for taking the time to read and review.

Katherine reminds me of Bree season 1 desperate housewives. super plain but have to look out for psycho behavior.
Author's Response:
I have had that comment a few times. It was totally unintentional. It's interesting because I haven't even made it all the way through the first season of desperate housewives. I am not sure we are going see psycho behavior but we'll have to wait and see.

It's past one in the morning here, I was going to bed when I saw you posted a new chapter so... I couldn't go to sleep without reading it !
I'm not disappointed at all about that dinner (and chapter) !
I still love how you describe them and their character. It's easy to picture them and a pleasure to read.
Katherine seem very annoying to live with. She's not fun, she seem stiff and she doesn't laugh. And in the meantime, Tom seem the totally oposite, even if it's still mysterious, we can easily picture him as a funny guy, always up to for something fun.
You know what ? When I read all the Katherine scene, the cleaning and stuff, I though about Bree Van De Kamp on Desperate Housewives ahahah.
Bill on the other hand makes me sad. He must feel so lonely because he's with a cheating bastard he know since forever. It's hard to do something in a situation like this, when you're with someone you know since so long you don't know how to do it without him, how life is. Some people stay into bad relationship just because they're afraid of the unknow so they stay unhappy. Bill's not blind but it's likewise. I just hope he will find the courage to talk to Andreas and to leave him to find real happiness.
Without knowing it, Bill and Tom are both stuck into shit and I'm sure you'll find a way for them to escape their life they don't belong to ;)
I don't know if I have some predictions. Maybe Bill and Tom will find each other somewhere and talk, talk and talk again, all night long, till the sun come up, about their life and how unhappy they are. No, really, I don't know hahah. But I've the feeling that, if Katherine is pregnant it will be complicated for Tom to leave her even if he want Bill at some point.
I don't know if my review mean something but anyway. I've to go to bed or I will be dead at work.
As always, I can't wait to see the next chapter !
Author's Response:
I am glad you like my story so much you put off going to bed to read the chapter. That makes me really happy.
rnI based alot of that chapter off of my dinner with my grandparents when I came out to them. Only this was less of a disaster.
rnI am having alot of fun writing this story and these characters. I am glad you can see what is going on with them and you enjoy reading it.
rnI am not entirely sure where Katherine came from, she just sort of popped into my head fully formed. She is very stiff and not very fun. I didn't even think of that when I wrote even though I have seen the first season of Desperate Housewives. She is very much like Bree Van De Camp. I thank you for that perspective.
rnBill does make me very sad. I have been in a similiar relationship and it does make you feel very lonely and sad. I honestly hope Bill will find his confidence and courage to talk to Andreas. I hope he will find his path to happiness.
rnThat might be something that happens. Bill and Tom talking is a good thought. If Katherine is pregnant it will definitely be a problem. Once again I am grateful that you spent some time on my story and writing this truly awesome review. I hope you enjoy the next chapter.

I don't know if it's a good idea for Tom and his wife to make baby no. 2 because this is not a kid who's gonna save a marriage. Maybe he think it is but no.
I can't wait to see how the dinner goes !
Author's Response:
I am glad someone noticed I was having Tom make number two to try and save his marriage. This situation never plays out the way parents want it to. The dinner party is up and I hope you will enjoy it. Thanks for reveiwing. I really appreciate it.

I lover your story , I think Katherine is the typical trophy wife and Tom is sick of that, also he is making baby 2 with her what if he later dumps her and they findustry out she is pregnant that would be a disaster, also I think bill is afraid of change of being alone , that's why he doesn't confront Andreas, he's on a toxic cycle...
Keep it up I love reading you
Author's Response:
I am so glad you love it. I am also very grateful for your comment. You opened alot of doors that I was trying to find but couldn't get there. This comment helped remind me about why people do certian things. It helped me write alot of chapter three. As for the baby number two things lots of couples do that when they think their marriage is in trouble and they are trying to save it. I am so glad you love reading my stories. I hope you will continue to enjoy this story.

Loving this story. You're very good at creating believable characters and situations. I'm already cringing in anticipation of the dinner party. Can't wait for the next chapter x
Author's Response:
I am so glad you like it. I am also very gald you find my characters and situations believable. I may not always be in these situations myself but I try to pull from life as often as possible. I am pulling that nervousness from telling my very homphobic grandparents I was not fully straight. I wrote it with the same sort of idea attached. I am so glad you liked it. Thank you for taking the time to review. I hope you enjoy the new chapter.

Author's Response:
