Do you really think that we are so stupid that we won't correlate the evidence put in front of us and draw the correct conclusion about your actions? Sure, your mouth says one thing but all of your actions say something different.
Maybe nobody ever told you but your actions speak louder than your words.
I would like to be able to see which moderator recomended a story for a Recomended Read Award and the reason why the story is a Recomended Read.
I also think it would be nice to be able to see why a story was Given an Editor's Pick award.
This way I could tell if it is a story that would interest me.

Actually I have grown rather partial to coriander wheat ales.
Yeah DoctorLove, I am fairly certain that your wife had sex with all of the workmen.
After reading your second post I will admit I do feel a bit more sympathetic to you but I think cheating on your wife will only make matters worse.
I think the best thing you could do is get into some sort of joint counciling. There are various health and emotional reasons that could have caused your wife's weight gain. Your wife is more aware of her weight gain than you are. If the two of you got counciling she might address any emotional issues she has and get things under control.
I admittedly don't know your wife's side of the story but I am not going to jump onto the "Let's all abuse Hasabrain for being stupid and selfish" bandwagon. You need help, not abuse.

And the people of the Untied States don't want to change to the metric system because they feel the metric system will be too complicated and confusing.
Who is the subject. Whom is the object.
This means that if you are asking about the subject of a sentence you use "who". Such as "Who is shopping?" would be answered with "He, she or they are shopping."
If you are asking about the object of a sentence you use "whom". Such as "I am shopping with whom?" would be answered with "I am shopping with her, him or them".

Honestly, you need to sit with your wife and have a conversation with her to let her know how you feel.
You said she gained a significant amount of weight and you don't find her attractive anymore. Was the only reason you married her because you were physically attracted to her? If there were other reasons then maybe you need to remind yourself of those reasons.
Did she sacrifice her figure having your children? Women have a tendency to gain weight from being pregnant and if she did because she carried your babies then you need to cut her some slack.
On a side note, are you still the same physical specimen that you were when you married your wife? I believe it is easier for men to keep from gaining weight as they get older than it is for women but I could be wrong.
In the end, I agree with One_Winged_Angel. If your post makes me feel anything, I feel sympathy for your wife.
Sorry to have given you a headache Sprite. I will post no more on this thread.
Sprite, I understand and agree with what you are saying for the most part. If a story can't be understood then it really isn't a story. I am also sorry and do apologize for my rudeness, that was why I almost immediately changed that post but I wasn't fast enough.
I do resent anybody that think he or she has made my story "better" by pointing out technical errors. I appreciate the help on the technical aspects of my story.
If I were to take somebody else's story that was flawed grammatically and rewrite that story would it be better? And I mean if I just fixed the spelling errors and punctuation but didn't really change the main thrust of the story.
I don't really think it would make the story better. The story would just be more easily understood.
I see OWA read what I said about Shakespeare and my point is that changing something won't necessarily make it better. How can anybody possibly make Shakespeare better? Of course if you read some of his plays he does have huge plot holes but it is the poetry that makes it great.
There was somebody that thought King Lear should have a happy ending to it and rewrote the ending. My Shakespeare professor read the rewrite to us. It was horrible.
To Liz and OWA,
Just after I posted my last remark I realized how rude it was and I changed it to be more polite. Unfortunately WWM had already quoted it and the two of you had already seen the original post. I apologize for my rudeness.
I will say again that a crappy story is a crappy story no matter how good the grammar is. The verifiers do help the writers make the stories more understandable but the verifiers do not make the story better. This is a fine distinction. I know I could rewrite any Shakespeare story and make it more easily understood but I know that wouldn't make it better.
Do you think fixing technical errors makes the story better? I think it just fixes technical errors. A bad story sucks no matter how wonderful the grammar may be. All you are doing is making the story more easily understood.
Now if you (OWA and Liz) feel this makes a story better then you can feel free to pat yourselves on the back. But don't expect me to thank you for anything but helping me with the technical aspects.
I think it would be nice that if I saw a Recommended Read award on a story that I could see which Moderator recommended the story and why the Moderator thinks the story is outstanding.
Easy to answer because I always seem to attract younger women.
Younger women like older men because older men have learned to treat women with respect.
I also think in the case you just mentioned that because you were ignoring them when they found you attractive, that made them try harder to get your attention. You didn't just start drooling over them like a guy their age would have done.
