I wonder who she is supposed to be talking to on the phone at the end? Also is she working at the old mans company? I think we might get more extras or different routes like he has done with some of his previous works.

So before deleting his contact info, who was she talking with on the phone? Is it to imply that she's already seeing someone else (since she's blushing) and deleting it means moving on completely?

The dumb part is that she apparently never had a good talk with her ex-husband about why he didn't have sex with her. She just made an online profile and started cheating. However, if she had insisted on a talk, he might have come forward earlier about why he didn't have sex with her and the marriage might have been saved.

Props to defan752 and SupaDupaMan for a great job.
The ending is underwhelming, of course. It had to be, since the whole premise of the story is that two people refuse to acknowledge an elephant in the room to ridiculous lengths.
It's still one of the most thoughtful endings I've read in an ntr hentai, even if it's because the competition is so deeply lackluster.

This is honestly the best cheating doujinshi I've ever read. Introspective commentary from the cheating spouse that doesn't justify her actions, but humanizes them... brilliant. You NEVER get that kind of writing in doujinshi like this, and it also helps that the cheating itself never felt melodramatic. She gets taken advantage of and takes advantage of other people as a response. You don't have the woman becoming a cock hungry whore after cheating for the first time... she's just starved of love and basic attention but manages to reel herself in before it gets out of hand. And the ending was incredibly bittersweet but appropriate and, above all else, realistic. The couple recognises how much they are equally at fault for the marriage falling apart, get divorced and move on like proper adults.

Excellent storytelling from start to finish. As far as I'm concerned, this is the gold standard of "cheating" doujinshi.

Not talking to each other about important things for 4 years was a symptom of a really shit marriage. Husband would rather not do anything and treat his wife like a dog and his wife would rather say nothing, but put a lot of effort into fucking strangers met online. This wasn't the case of "we are so in love with each other, there is just one thing..." it was "we are literally drifting apart and neither of us has any will to change it". In the end they would suffer with each other, so it was for the better that they've split.

There is a reason why both of them are smiling after one year of being apart from each other, it was for the better. Huge weight lifted from both of their lives.

@Forgunia I believe she mentioned back in chapter 1 how she tried to talk to him and even tried to see if she could get a job early on and he completely shut her down each time. Akikio obviously committed the bigger sin, but Naoki is not blameless in how things turned out with their marriage.

Bittersweet ending, i hope there will be more cheating stories with consequence like this. Even until the end, akiko still lack of communication to her ex-husband, even though she still loves him ( i assume that because she's crying in the end, and i don't know who's the person she talked to on her phone, probably only coworkers, or maybe her new lover, but i doubt it). Maybe she's still feels guilty so she tried to avoid him.

But the thing that i don't like from this stories (or cheating stories in general) is that the story more focused on fmc/adulterer. We rarely see the perspective from the mc/victim, like how they recover after found out their partner had been cheating on them, how they move on, etc. We only see the perspective from the mc/victim in ntr stories, which is more depressing than cheating stories like this, and most of them becomes a cuck.

I for one like to think the person on the phone was the ex, she was saying her final goodbyes before never seeing him again....

Base +11, Brego1 +6, Badumpo +6

@Darktaka Agreed.

Also don't like that the husband wants to reconnect, there at the end. Having been around people who got cheated, that's usually a signal that the person hasn't completely moved on. Which just sucks, considering the cheaters usually get the easy route of just 'feeling bad' while the cheated party are the ones who actually need to live on with the hurt.

I feel conflicted.

On one hand this is probably one of the best cheating doujins out there that tackles the whole thing in a more realistic way, down to the bitter ending. A much better read than the usual nonsense where the female character is reduced to an ahegao emoji sputtering gibberish or the male character reduced to just some pathetic cuck simp. But then the "I was actually infertile and wanted to wait until you didn't want or couldn't have kids anymore before we talked about it or even had sex again" just felt...overkill? Like damn they really wanted to throw a curveball that he was actually comparable to violent rapist dude all along instead of letting the simple process of them being shit at communicating and incompatible do its thing lol

@SleepyDemon @fuckalfie

It could be a problem with this story generally. It doesn't really work if both parties are presented to have comparable (and unequal) faults. At worst, the husband just kept his mouth shut. At best, the wife is a cheated. What probably leaves a bad taste in many readers is that the story tries to show disproportional sympathy to the wife rather than the husband (who's portrayed angrily when he got his hands around her neck).

And THAT doesn't even get to the story and characterization here, as stated in the quotes below.

***

From @fuckalfie in vol 2:

"i'm not saying the dude's right, i'm saying that if you've got the balls to go on tinder and cheat on the person who's maintaining you, you probs should have the balls to either force a talk or drop them before it gets that far. Hence, she a hoe."

https://e-hentai.org/g/1985292/670fca9fff/

***

From @mister wolf in vol 1:

"Why even listen to the confession of a cheating partner? If its a girlfriend then ghost her. If its a wife then the next day you should be calling off from work and hiring a divorce lawyer. That's what honest communication and couples counseling is for to repair problems, and no you don't bother with any of that shit after they cheat. They should have suggested it beforehand or simply just ended the relationship. People cheat because they are selfish regardless of the excuses or circumstances, like this woman more than happy to benefit from the food, shelter, and resources her spouse is providing working all those forced overtime hours which he probably hates, while she doesn't have to work a job and suffer the daily grind. Yet she betrays him using all that free time she has because of his sacrifice to cheat on him. If you ever get cheated on don't listen to their excuses and become their confessional(that shit will fuck you up). They can do that with a priest or personal therapist."

For those questioning the realism of this I can recommend Private Parts Unknown "Ashley Madison: Why Women Cheat" episode. It fits perfectly with things established there.
It's incredibly funny how many people act like confronting a person close to you about serious issues is so easy. I wonder if they are all so good at confronting other people over problems in their life.

I don't get the sympathy for the husband here. If he is the kind of dude who thinks he wasn't "man enough" because he was infertile, then he would never have come open to her, even if she insisted on it. Guys who put their pride over their wife's feelings always end up with wrecked marriages.

Really, you want your wife to give up the idea of having kids without having a conversation with her?

Base +6

@Mao M.

It's even worse than that. He was emotionally abusing her until she gives up the idea of kids because he couldn't accept that he was infertile. That idea completely backfired.

If she was truly a bitch she could've just left him with the alimony and started fucking guys left and right. She gave him closure because she couldn't live with what she did anymore.

@ sgt_akiyama

the thing with that is that on it's own yes it would be a problem but because the wife cheated it becomes somewhat irrelivant because she initiated an act that outside being forced to stay in the relationship couldn't be justified. cheating is virtually unjustifiable while still being understandable. you can wrap your head around the mentality behind a cheater even if the mindset is unbleeivably scummy but justifying it would often ignore directly attempting to deal with the problem picking the tougher option. if your partner isnt gonna provide what you need from them or arent willing to put their all in like you are you try to work things out or leave.

the guys pride may have wrecked the marriage but even then it's more justifiable than cheating even though it's still a problem.

TL:DR dude wasnt abusing her so most people arent gonna think "yeah fuck that guy" and wife cheating kinda supersedes any wrongdoing short of abuse with most people... from what ive seen but that could be bias and faulty

@poopdaloop naaaaaah, she gave herself closure, the guy clearly doesn't have any. Even thought all started because of him, he was also suffering the whole time, meanwhile his wife was getting her fun on the side.

Base +5

I just can't get past the idea that maybe the only reason she can talk so dispassionately, is because she learned that behavior from him for FOUR YEARS. I got way more sympathy for her looking for happiness elsewhere and keeping it secret, than I do for him inflicting his unhappiness on her and not being truthful about the source.

Base +21

Wow, what a ride.

The story feels real enough that doesn't follow the typical hentai/NTR story progression where the heroin becomes a mindless cock slave.

While nothing justifies cheating, the ex-husband did contribute to the marriage breaking down. Even without the wife cheating, 4 year of witholding sex and fapping to porn and avoiding the conversation regarding having children when they were looking foirward to it initially, that is just messed up.

Really if only both of them were more honest with each other in communicating their problems all of this could have been avoided.

Ending was really kinda bittersweet. The way I look at it there are two ways to interpret the ending:
1. She had moved on, falling out of love with the ex-husband and letting her lover know on the phone everything is finally over.
2. She took the easy way out by leaving a damaged relationship, it is a lot harder to mend a broken relationship than just walk away.

Honestly it felt more like the latter if past behaviour is any indication.

Would have been nice if there is another 3 volumes post divorce showing how they rebuild trust and resisting temptations to cheat culminating in a remarriage.
