This is only the opinion and suggestions of the reviewer and it is still up to the author of this piece to consider this review as a corrective action or otherwise.

*Reading* THE STORY

Dude's wife is really ill, but in the course of the monologue you discover he hasn't quite been the best of husbands to her.

*Smile* WHAT I LIKED

I was chuckling the whole time I was reading this. Dude has been "too good" to his wife, but we learn he hadn't been good enough.

*Star* POV NARRATION/TENSE

This is told in the first person by the husband. Good job with narration. Past tense is used appropriately.

*Star* DIALOGUE

There's a good blend of dialogue and narration. The dialogue is spot on perfect and hilarious, which drives home the comedy.

*Star* DESCRIPTIONS

I liked: "On our wedding night you stayed up until morning shooting craps with your two buddies in our apartment." It not only sets up a vivid picture in the imagination, but also an emotional one. Don't you want to be with your wife on your wedding night instead of playing craps?

*Star* SETTING

TIME: modern day
PLACE: Dude's home

This is something that that is clarified for the reader. Being a monologue, sometimes it's hard to establish time and place, but there's enough established here that helps to sell the story.

*Star* CHARACTERS

Husband

Honestly, he's a wreck. A comedic wreak. *Thumbsup*

*Star* MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes.

*Star* PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

I think you have to read the story to see how the title ties-in and it's more of an ironic tie-in. The opening made me laugh and kept me reading. I picture a comic stand-in routine with this vinyette. Thanks for the laughs!
