The lack of honesty and openness, and astoundingly absurd naivety of Anna is completely beyond comprehension. If she would have completely blocked Chris at the very beginning of his flirting and been open with David about his friends lack of respect then half of their problems would be gone right there, and the other half would not be getting exacerbated to such a degree.
But unfortunately that isn't an option, so we have a character that's all but a wanton slut, with the barely passable excuse of pregnancy hormones to explain it away.

Edit: I understand this is the point of the game. I have had some time to think since posting this and realize I took it too personally because of shit that happened in my own life.

I also have to give a shout-out to Mr_Palmer for making a great game. I know that sounds weird since I just went off on one of the characters, but to me, the mark of a good story is one that makes you feel powerful emotions. The characters are dynamic and have layers to them, the story is provocative and tests your morality, and makes you want to see the conclusion. I honestly can't wait to play the completed game to see how everything resolves, whether good or bad. Keep doing what you're doing, you've really got something here!

That's the goal of a Story, look at the good part; if she had block Chris at the begenning a large percentage of the story would probably be non-existent, the number of hours of gameplay would be shorter and would be less interesting too.
It's true that i can't stand this Traitor but need to admit it, for the Sake of the story he's necessary

I want David to just say Anna I give up. Then he just goes on a ass whooping spree
___________________________________+++++++++++++++++++__________________________________________

That is contrary to David's character design... Let's just say when they were passing out Man Cards, he was at Baskin Robins.

But to be fair, most men do love their wives and will put up with a lot of grief before reaching a breaking point. However, a lot of his misery is his fault. Best friend or not, you don't allow anyone to flirt with your wife. It has nothing to do with territory, but that the flirting could be making the wife uncomfortable, and she suffers in silence so as not to rock the boat. Second, long before you say the "I does," you better take the time to really get to know her. Personally, I think David got lost in the fact he got a goddess for a girlfriend then wife. What we don't know is what information David and Anna shared with each other while dating. I would have hoped they discussed previous partners.

Save for one thing... Anna likes the attention of men. And had she done that Anna might have thought Chris would have gone to David and told him of being blocked and that might have cause an issue.

However...

There is the old saying, "You are judged by the company you keep." Unless David was totally clueless, David would for himself seen Chris's flirting with Anna. So what does that say about David? And why hasn't David asked Anna (before all the marriage troubles began) about Chris' behavior so he could have put an end to it?

And of course, Anna is by no means innocent herself. Taking and sharing pictures is over the top behavior... let alone sharing a shower. Yes, it might be Anna's nature to tease and be naughty, but from the beginning, Anna wasn't fully invested in the marriage. The only thing that kept Anna "faithful" was the institution of marriage and what was expected of being married-- she didn't embrace out of moral and ethical belief her responsibilities of being married.

It's very possible, the only reason why she chose David for a husband was he was the safest option. A lot of women marry men who were a lot like their father. David is polar opposite of what Anna's father was like. Basically when push came to shove Anna likely knew she would get her way because she knew David would cave.

I do have to agree with that, David definitely should step up and confronted Chris/Anna about their behavior, he is in no way in the clear on that for sure. Thank you DarthSpitz717 for being the voice of reason. Due to personal reasons I may have taken it a tad hard, but you're right that the fault lies in more than one place lol

Hmmmmm See for a cheating story to happen... there is someone unsatisfied/lack of communication or interest/ bad company involved etc.... that's when it happens.

Now we as a spectator watch this game and can say that Ana is a whore or Ana is naive or David is poor etc stuff...but that's when it happens...Watch any cheating movie, if we say like in Titanic, Kate should be happy with her fiancee , he's rich and handsome and should not meet Leonardo DiCaprio poor gambler and jackass thief...or why developer is not providing option for Kate to stop approaching Leo or to kick his ass lol this will be absurd. The movie maker is making cheating movie...In this case MP is making cheating game...So antagonist will take advantage of few vulnerabilities of Ana. But yea unlike Kate Winslet of Titanic ...here Ana got an option to stop approaches of bad guys or kick their ass.

I'd like to second this. Stories need some degree of conflict to drive the narrative forward. I make an effort to even point out the absurdity of some of the conflict in my own story, with characters occasionally muttering something about how a single conversation could've avoided the whole thing. It's a bit of self-awareness humor on my part, plus it allows me to show a bit of character personality.
The point is, yeah, it's outlandish how overblown the conflict is in this story, just like it is in every other piece of narrative fiction in existence. But, that's also the fun part. We get to witness the absurdity for the sole purpose of amusement.

Absolutely those stories don't have to be realistic or there would seldom have something in it. I mean something we are looking for. They just have to be plausible to a point. If the story makes some sense despite fragile bases, then I am more than fine with it. This is what I like in this game: I can believe in what is hapening. Anna is naive, this could be avoided: sure, and I prefer not :)

Ok but in a couple of years only one scene of "sex" :rolleyes:
There's no scene of "sex" yet but yes developer already said it beforehand as he has to develop a background story for it, so he took his time...from now on we can expect sex in all updates going ahead. Atleast I am expecting it.
