Nah, those of the 20% which thinks rape should be legal just to give them a chance, should be castrated.

No need for their weak genes to be spread.
those 20% would be still stronger than most women, imagine instead they decided to "destroy" the breeding stock for the top 10% male.
Would it be considered as a revenge of weak?

Status update from Mr Palmer:

Debrief - v0.7.1

Hello Patrons,
Hope everyone's enjoying the progress of A Perfect Marriage. The story arc’s playing out before our eyes, and you most likely felt a shift in this recent update.
Why the shift?
Anna decided to be swift in her resolve. After Marcel’s phone call, she’d had enough of feeling foolish and betrayed, especially when her emotions carried over into her work lunch with Hank. Even though she has some doubts - whether small or large - that David truly betrayed her, she hates feeling weak and unsure.

She also hates being indecisive and flakey, and her father's voice in her head is always telling her to be tough and resilient, so she's reached a point where she's not going to let herself get hung up on the uncertainty of her marriage. She resolves to be tough and move forward with the flow of things, instead of being stuck with grief and anxiety. She believes it’s justifiable based on the evidence, and that the truth will show itself eventually.

In truth, she's torn up inside. She views this as a weakness she must overcome quickly. So much of her life has been about exhibiting success and accomplishment, so in these anxious times, her subconscious mechanism with coping isn’t to embrace the anxiety, but rather fool herself into believing she has everything under control and that the setbacks in her marriage aren’t defeating her. She does this by being decisive and not looking back. This explains why she’s turning the page and letting the chips fall where they may, even at the risk of her marriage.

Is Anna flawed? Of course she has flaws like everyone else. She means well, but there's insecurities deep inside of her that have bubbled up to the surface due to Kendra’s plot, creating an existential crisis about who she is, who she should be, and who she wants to be.

She's always wanted to be a successful attorney and a loving wife and mother of a big family, one day proving that a woman can balance career and family at the highest level. It's what her father would've wanted for her too.

But there's also a side of her deep under the surface that wants to rebel against who she *should* be… that wants to feel uninhibited and unencumbered by all the pressure she's felt her entire life. The few moments in the past where she’s “let go” of control in her life and disobeyed her father’s warnings, particularly in her college days, were extremely therapeutic for her. She longs for those feelings of freedom.

However, despite the urges, she's always been too scared to open that door. It’s human nature to not want to lose control. And for her, letting go means she’d be opening the door to her darker tendencies, which includes some very naughty desires. Currently, she still doesn't want to bring out her darker side, but given that you can influence her, it’s possible.

As for David, we've also seen him make a decision on how he's moving forward with Anna and his marriage, based on how you've influenced him. Just like Anna, you cannot make David something he’s not, and his ultimate desire is to be with Anna one way or another, but you can influence his approach as explained in the walkthrough I posted. And just because he wants to be with Anna now doesn’t mean he’ll always want to be, depending on what happens.

He's not a dope who is clueless of everything. He's just kind of in shock and is a bit frozen. In his mind, he thinks this will all go away quickly. He knows he’s innocent, so he can’t possibly fathom Anna would think otherwise. He has a false confidence that he’ll be absolved soon.

You have to give him a bit of a break. He greatly underestimates the plot against him. How could he not? It’s not like he knows Janet is anywhere near him, nor could he assume she’d be involved. For all he knows, it was a sloppy blackmail plot by a stranger posing as Alexia that went awry.

And as for Chris, for all David knows, Anna’s still repulsed by him despite being friendly with him, and she’d never consider his overtures. Even if Chris was the person plotting to ruin his marriage in order to win Anna, David would say with certainty it’d be a failure.

There’s also a denial deep inside him due to his pride. Any thought that Anna would fall for Chris gets squashed by his pride because he simply can’t accept that reality. Yes, David is flawed too. He’d rather live in the reality that Anna is too good for Chris, even if it might not be true. Ignorance is bliss.

Perhaps David’s biggest flaw is that he greatly underestimates the woman he married. He knows she's a hot-blooded woman who has always loved sex and has always been easily turned on, and he knows she's too trusting of others, but he doesn’t grasp how razor thin the margin of error is right now that could lead her down a dark path where those attributes could turn against him.

His father once warned him about marrying such a beautiful and desirable woman that gets along well with men. Darren knew that men would be after his son's wife, and he knew if his son wasn't on top of his game, there could be a steep falloff. To think, he concluded that without even considering Anna’s hidden lusty side he didn’t know existed!

So not only is David having to deal with an attack on his marriage, but he’s dealing with a wife who attracts men like a light attracts moths, and who tends to get extremely horny, especially now that her body’s telling her to mate and make another baby. Yikes. He’s in a very tough spot, and the margins of error during this delicate time are razor thin.

With all that said, where are things headed?

Again, the walkthrough can lay out the paths forward as they stand at the moment. The general idea is that there are some traits and approaches you've crafted for both Anna and David, and now you'll be living in the results of those. There'll be some more decisions here and there, but largely, at this point in the story we're going to move towards conclusions instead of the building and data-gathering phases.

I’ll put out a Q&A to Gold patrons to address more specific questions, and I’ll post the results for all Patrons once done.
My summer vacation ends tomorrow, and I’ll be looking forward to getting back to work on APM. Thanks for your patience. Summer is always a tough time for me because of family duties, but things should get much more productive soon.

I plan to add a gallery and character page as soon as I’m in a good place to tinker with it.

As for the million dollar question- When will the next update be ready? First off, I don’t know. Still a lot of work to do. But even if I knew, I’m not going to say anything because I’ve learned that’s a recipe for disaster. As soon as it’s ready, you’ll know. But until then, I’m going to refrain from predicting or hoping for a release date. I can update you on progress, and I’ll continue to release sneak peeks and other content here and there, of course. You always have the option to only support me upon releases. I’d encourage that if you’ve felt cheated by me in the past.

The APM train rolls on. I want to create more AVN’s too after APM that you can enjoy as well, so I’m eager to move forward, not be lazy and let this drag on. I’m doing this for those of you who enjoy it, myself among them. I want us to love it. That’s my hope. I’m not trying to win awards, I’m not trying to please everyone, and I don’t care about ratings/critics. I only hope most - if not all - fans of APM continue to find it greatly satisfying!

Thanks everyone!

one thing I noticed is David is more fit than most MCs in this type of game. They usually are skinny weak looking.
AWAM too the husband looks good..but he doesnt get more screentime. Weakness showed as in mentality, Idk why David character is shown as so weak that he has to lick Anna's ass and keep convincing her...That's totally different on how he was during his college days....He rejected Kendra when she actually make him happy lol...I wanted David to be the same kind of guy...so that wherever Ana show anger, he should say fuck off and sleep with some stripper lol.

Yes he is innocent and trying to prove his innocence but he's becoming cringe and sycophant for Ana when Ana is not ready to listen to him. David should get more female options to cheat too like Ana is getting.

The problem I have is the speech. It doesn't match the situation it kind of confuses me. I guess it confuses David too when he requests to sleep with her in the room. She acts different then she did earlier. He even says you are all over the place one minute you don't trust me then its I feel you didn't cheat we kiss then it's you give me attitude about getting in the bed. But when the real fireworks start going off, I think Davids balls will drop.

Agreed, I noticed that too; there's a hard shift in dialogue tone over the 3rd act when Anna's still dubious from "reasonable, supportive husband" to "doormat/cuckold-in-training".

At some point, you'd expect a reasonable person in David's situation to talk about boundaries, and what's reasonable to expect from Anna. Meaning one can't expect him to wait at every beck and call while she decides if he's trustworthy; she'd either have to take a leap of faith or start planning for the end, shit or get off the pot.

Yeah yeah this is a game and all, but realistic dialogue will help immerse the player.

couldn't have said it any better. If there is a faithful path maybe leap of faith but I am starting to doubt there will be one. I feel like there will be a corrupted hearts situation.

Me too, i have a huge doubt about a faithfull path...
well, in the stats have one stats said "Anna want to remind faithfull to David" but judging by dev explanation it could easely be a "Slow burn" path
To avoid any confusion Dev doesn't said it will be a Slow burn but with he's manners of explanation that leave people septic about Future path in the game

this game of corruption of the heart has already been ruined by the introduction of the hopelessly poorly executed NTR. And then Clara has amesia and nothing happened when Leon fucked her. And this game is starting to annoy me when I play on a faithful track. In scenes I am punished with a lack of choice because I have no minimal contact with a sexual predator. Which is illogical and hopeless.(n):mad::(o_O:oops::eek:

Seems alot of these corruption games are just generating conversation. The paths make no sense. People don't like to play the faithful path because it's boring. It seems alot of these devs don't know what faithful means. Don't say there is a faithful path and during the path she/he cheats if it be emotional or physical. Cause in the end it's not faithful. Giving choices in a game and we are assuming we are going in this direction just to go nope. It's frustrating. I create saves for each path just to find out result are the same makes a person not want to continue.

The story on which it is based on Jake will be the one that will get Ana and Kendra disclose it to David...they needed a counsellor for that..Alot of jealousy and emotions, confrontation and the final path of forgiveness obviously...MP made a lil tweak giving opening to Ana on all the paths. Lets see how it goes. There is a Chris path too lol..so let's see. How many paths will be opened for Ana in the end if not on faithful route.

the best path on Anna's cheating path is her rejecting the shithead Fake Friend. sure she is stringing him along by not giving in to his games, but seeing him all angry at the end of the last update after Anna basically tells him to fuck off was awesome. makes playing Anna cheats path alot more fun. however, i have been on the faithful path too and everything is so stacked against David proving his innocence. at least on that path Anna still doubts that he cheated. but the phone call from the kid at the gym renews her anger. David needs a break and soon.

Comparing the game to this story makes no sense, because the game will be different than in this story, this topic returns like a boomerag. This story only features common characters and the events in the game will be different from this story. The creator said this many times so as not to compare the story to the game. Unfortunately, if someone finds this novel, the theme of comparison repeats itself endlessly.o_O:eek::ROFLMAO:

The dev wrote at the very beginning that the first NTR is inevitable and this is a key clue in the story. I could agree with this if there was the right approach to this scene and not just betrayal because of a simple kiss!

This story covers Jake and Chris scene so far and so as of now it's almost same.. obviously there should be a difference in storyline as he can develop in all paths, I am just saying this will be the way of forgiveness for faithful lovers...rest for the corrupt path there are many options, not sure in which path he's going to develop more. Most of em voted for Jake hank and Chris so far...He asked for only 2 characters path for Ana on which members are interested, so these 3 opinions were mostly recommended....it was not an official vote but let's see.
