Talk:My Wife/@comment-24528488-20140518080417

From the first paragraph I was already wishing for bad things to happen to the narrator. He was such an unlikeable character, so shallow and whiney. He reminded me of the type of person who would pretend to be a girl's friend to get in her pants, and then hate on her for "friend zoning" him. THAT kind of guy.

All he does is complain about how hard he works. He says he is desperate for love, and then complains about women being too ugly for him, and within seconds of seeing Christy, before they even had a conversation, he says "I knew we were meant for eachother". Because of her looks? He doesn't want love, he wants an attractive Stepford Wife to warm his bed.

I like to think that the attitude of the protagonist didn't reflect the attitude of the author, so I won't call this a bad story. It was very well written. He deserved what he got, for being a shallow asshole. But his gorgeous wife did not. She deserved a medal for putting up with such a horrible husband, despite that she could probably do 1000x better.

The story was very well written and the plot developed very well. It was interesting. But I feel like the dislikeable protagonist made it difficult to enjoy the story, as the idea of bad things happening to him were actually appealing to me, rather than scary.
