She'd probably just blush profusely and get all embarrassed that you took her critique to heart ;)
Oh, so clueless. And probably, when it comes to affairs of the heart, even more so. I remember (this is totally off topic so you can stop reading now if you want) watching this show about DNA... or something... and this guy took his son to the doctor and his son had some disease or something, and the doctor was the family doctor and suspected something, because this disease was an inherited condition, and the doctor knew the father was neither a carrier nor suffered from it, and so he suggested the father get a DNA test for his son. He did, and it turned out that his son was not his.
So the parents broke up anyway, and he decided to get a DNA test for all his children (3 boys and a girl). And when the results came, he got his current partner to read them, because he couldn't do it, and she went into another room, and didn't come out, and he went in to see her and she was crying. Because NONE OF THE BOYS were his.
How would you be, huh? I just... sleeping with someone else and then knowing that the baby you're having might not be your husband's? How can someone do that?
I'm not usually one for gossip, but the anecdote you mention is interesting. The poor guy's ex-wife defines the word "tramp". OTOH, you hear plenty of stories of married men sleeping around, sometimes siring children with several women... and the wives of these men are utterly clueless.
And people wonder why I've never married.
PS: I'm going to take your suggestion to heart, and not publicly identify the person who helped me revise my piece this week... But I will tell them once again that I appreciate their efforts.
Oh, I don't think any gender has the monopoly on doing the dirty (it's just we have more words to describe it when it's women who do it... but that's part and parcel of the culture :) and is a whole other topic!)
I've never married either ;p Living in sin is far more fun!
PS. You know, those people who offer to critique your work almost always make the effort to stop by and read the final submission, anyway, so I'm sure they're aware and would offer to do it again at any time.
