I personally regard the separation of "emotional" and "physical" one of the major traps and delusions which dissuades men from exiting these relationships at once in these situations. To say "it's just sex but emotionally she is still with me" is, I think, a projection of man's own (sometimes also only supposed) attitude to sex on women (and by the way: that is exactly what people here in the forum with a declared cuck fetish or sharing fetish say (not meaning you of course, just to show the consequence of this thinking): she can do what she wants, emotionally she will come back to me and I have her heart, others have her body. This is where it ends). Women don't do that, this always leads into a car crash. If she is sexually that open and hooked, she is also emotionally. It's all feelings for her, it's all one thing, it's always all together. (that's also why I would say: if sex is not her love language (not a fan of the concept at all), forget it at the get go). And you can see it in the way she starts to trust the boss in personal conversations about Hutch and taking advice how to deal with him - the betrayal is already at this point also an emotional betrayal of the disgusting sort. The emotional intimiacy with the boss starts immediately afer fucking like a switch.
We have seen some posts above the protective reaction which takes responsibility from Viivian and I argued against it. Here we see the stoic reaction (note how the boss manipulative advice to Hutch draws also on this stoic pattern and ideal) - I have the impression that especially men who want to be the strong, responsible, calm, stable part of the relationship get in this mode in these situations in order to rescue the relationship. But I think this reaction makes them vulnerable and has if at all the opposite effect on her, leads into misery - especially under the circumstances of our times. There is no reward anymore for this more traditional approach. All what it does is giving her excuses now ("her soul doesn't mean it") in exchange for the hope of her coming back and having a reckoning later. Exit is the only option, I said it here early on.
Dealbreaker xcalibar4 i think you both have the same idea/view but approach it in different ways. DB with the life lessons and xcal with the ingame details. Dealbreaker there wont be a reconciliation that was just my pipe dream...not saying it will happen as i kept mentioning about it. i think most of us(me and joe at least) think you are right exit is the only way after the level of betrayal that has been depicted by SC Stories .I think what JoeBlogs (I also in later post) meant that it's her accepting the fact that she is also emotionally betraying him. Till now she is in denial that she is emotionally invested in Christian. This is the concept most Corruption/NTR stories explore in the second part of their stories after she is physically corrupted, and if it's NTR/Hotwife story then in this arc she starts to humiliate the hubby at first when they are alone and finally in the hubby's face.
I have point this out before she is emotionally invested into him already. In the kitchen scene when Christian gestures her she sits in his lap like a lover. And in the bathroom scene when she mounted him she kept looking into his eyes (this is one aspect NTR games explore, when the corruption/seduction starts the FMC will keep her eye shut or hand infront her eyes as corruption progresses she will slowly start to see him and look him in the eyes.) And from the get go she started to listen to him, lying to him as he suggested, gaslighting him as he suggested and finally turn it around him so Hutch thinks he is in control.
I think modern hookup culture made it kind of different things. But it was a sacred thing in the past cause it was meant to connect two strangers not only physically but into deep emotional level.
Dealbreaker if you are talking about the hutch's protective reaction ... in my defense the backyard was the only time hutch was at fault for not intervening and we had a discussion about that afterwards... but yes i agree that vivian is mostly to blame. and both of you are i think are pointing to that view in your own explanations.
"inner conflict" , "her not accepting the fact she emnotionally betrays him" etc - I'm surprised again and again what acrobatics men are prepared to use to excuse and understand women (myself sometimes included), i guess it's all in order to bring desire and standards/reason into accord with each other.
Firstly - in my opinion you mythologize too much. Women also like regular sex without commitments - typical ONS. Especially from the young generation... (1995+, more liberated). Secondly - you search too much for some deep motivations - and according to research, very often it is an impulse, a rush of the moment.
the author has put Vivian in a situation between hot desire and permanent love, a relationship in which classical desire has simply died out. The language of love that Vivian speaks of is precisely such a family hearth hedgehog.
Hutch understands the situation - that Viv needs emotions that he can no longer give her. He faces a dilemma - whether to end the relationship or try to survive it - in the name of love (because he knows that in the long run the fire of romance will burn out), 22 years of living together, connections. Such matters do not end in fifteen minutes.
but enough about that - we don't really know yet where SC Stories wants to take us, and as I mentioned earlier - I prefer to focus on what is on "paper" and not on the supposed thoughts/situations/motivations, etc. etc.
ps. a woman's word would really come in handy in this thread.
Luc77 i dont think Dealbreaker mythologizes anything... i feel he has high standards and good values, with the sound reasoning he does on this thread. as you said porn game questions meaning of life think that should directed at gen-z.this is mythology for me (both concepts and their supposed conflict).
Although of course mythology we all use or have used in our own lives at some point. Doesn't make them less mythological.
we keep propping up the 22 years of marriage.... does it really matter if it's 10 20 30 years... do we know how long their marriage has been like that... nope. all we know is what in the story. we only see the destruction not the cause metaphorically speaking. DB with his sound reasoning or luc with the laid back story based approach .... we will only know in the end what is going to happen according to SC Stories vision.
i think most of us will hate the ending(as i'm pretty sure(75% sure) of how it might be ending)....even if SC Stories said some will like it and some won't in a post.
