Things i liked about Story A: 

• Story A does a great job at highlighting the bore and monotony of Johns life. 
• Both are disillusioned with their marriage and seek excitement elsewhere, only to realize that they never truly stopped loving each other but simply lost touch emotionally.
• The slow erosion of passion in many long term relationships and the desire to reignite it is well highlighted and presented. 
• John and his wife are relatively relatable for most people. His dissatisfaction isn’t over-the-top but rather an accumulation of small, mundane disappointments, which makes it feel authentic.
• A satisfying and uplifting conclusion (although I'd argue the part about the job promotions at the end wasn't that necessary).

Things i didn't like about Story A:

• It would have been nice to see more internal conflict from John regarding his decision to meet the mysterious AD lady. He justifies his actions a bit too quickly, without allowing the reader to see him internally wrestle before making a decision.
• Although the ending is happy, it feels a bit too convenient, especially with the sudden inclusion of job promotions.

Things i liked about Story B:

• Deep psychological exploration of a manipulative and abusive husband. Double points for doing this authentically and realistically, showing the husband's rationalization for his actions.
• Great tension and atmosphere created through the grandfather clock and ventilator, adding an almost haunting effect.
• The husband's self delusions and his belief that he is the victim, even as he exerts control over his wife, feel disturbingly realistic.
• Memorable ending. The police showing up and then just leaving despite it being a sad conclusion creates a desperate, tense, and abusive situation. This makes the story feel painfully accurate in portraying how narcissistic personalities rationalize their actions. I would recommend it to others just to provide insight into how these types of people think.

Things i didn't like about Story B:

• Potentially too dark and unsettling for some readers? I am not sure.
• I really liked Story B, especially the deep psychological exploration of the narcissistic husband. His inner monologue about being incapable of letting his wife go because it would strip him of his very identity demonstrates a deep understanding of human psychology on the author’s part. Very intelligent writing.

Vote: Story B

Sorry, I didn't know I was coming across that way. I genuinely meant it ironically as a meme. I'll do better In the future. 

Can you please just leave me alone? I don't know why you felt The need to tag me. Youve been unnerving me with how incessant you seem with finding anyway to bad mouth me over the last month. I just want to read stories and have fun sometimes, dude.  

I'm sure the others have already given you adequate advice on the calorie counting topic, but I'd also like to suggest that the best way to lose the weight and to keep it off would be to allow your body time to adjust to the lower calories so you don't feel ravished, dizzy, and lethargic and sick everyday. You're best off being slow and steady and knocking your calories down by 50 a week, till you get to a good maintenance level. It's much slower and more boring, but also much more practical. Most obese people who lose weight tend to put it back on again in a year, mostly due to muscle memory, losing it too quickly or using cardio to burn the calories instead of eating less food. 

The experience you're describing is actually the norm. There was a study on the brain activity of a group of humans eating ice cream showing that they realeased more dopamine in the anticipation of the ice cream than the actual tasting of it itself. It's not that our thoughts are actually better, we just become less emotionally heightened to the experience of them once they've been written down. 

Literally nothing. Just to continue what I'm already doing and have been doing for years and I'll be fine. 

I think she blocked me first lol.... Yikes.. 

I might show you on discord later but I'm not showing them here. I found out she's also married dude, and living with her husband. Like I'm Not willing to get murdered by an angry dad. 

This chicks making absolutely no sense. She's now saying her "sixth sense". Is telling her I have a crush on her lol. Which fuckin makes no sense if she said she gave me her number because she thought I'm sincere and won't be weird. I said I'm genuinely not into her in that way, she's gone quiet, and I'm like, " Are you okay, is it bad that I'm Not" And she' said "I don't know". I guess you're wrong Milton. 

I sure hope so, I'd find it awkward if not. Part of its probably also language barrier. She struggles a bit more with texting I can tell. 

Speaking to her right now and she actually just said it too. She basically said she feels like id actually just be her friend instead of being weird about it like most boys. That makes me happy.
