Very Strong & Powerful Write, Mz P!

As a guy who's had lovers in the past...YET has settled-down & tried HARD to be worthy of Monogamy..I both wanna defend the Offender, yet don't condone the hint of his Violence one-bit.

AM truly sorry his infidelity pushed ya to the brink of suicide, too...NO Guy's worthy of THAT sacrifice. (Or Gal..for that matter.) YOU gotta keep-on keepin'-on..& the SOONER You start Living WELL again, the Sooner ya GOT that "Best Revenge".

Sad to hear it's taken 3 years...AND "You're Still Lookin'".
(I don't think when a guy cheats he INTENDS to inflict this kinda Damage to ya...in fact, he never EXPECTS you to ever find out.) In Europe, an Affair is viewed as something a successful man acquires as a "Perk" to a life well-lived. In America, it's a Hanging Matter & let's get the Lawyers involved.

Which is probably "Why" 55% of US Kids are raised in Single Parent Families these days. & JMO, but That's Who Suffer The Most...the kids. (With that in mind..AND realizing Yeah, I'd probably end up losing the woman I DID truly wanna go thru life with..I changed my ways..over a Decade Ago.)

Stats say "75% of Married Men Cheat." So...I wish ya luck at finding that 25% bunch that are eligible for Sainthood..tho they may mostly be shy of the "Hunk" Factor that you gals find so-attractive.

Back to Your Lyric: V1, yep..He's BUSTED...& I DO feel your Betrayal. (Yet I question, immediately, Singer's ASSUMING her rival's "Won His Heart COMPLETELY" and her Giving-Up On-The- Spot, No Further Discussion.)

V2: Hmmmm...OK.."He's Toast". Singer ISN'T listening to His Side of The Story, (Pathetic as it may be.) (Been there..fortunately..Survived It.)

CHORUS:
Fine Hook. (You're GOOD at those Interrogative Hooks!)
Next Couplet: Yeah, he's a dick. BEST to tell the truth, even when it hurts. (& sometimes Infidelity's not a game..it's a Wake Up Call...);-)>
Next Couplet: Like I said, I don't condone Violence of any kind in a relationship..not exactly sure of what "price" you're referring-to/there's considerable "give-&-take" in all relationships.
Last Line: OK..that hits Right-Between-The-Eyes, & (Not Begrudgingly) I will Agree Witcha.

V3: My Sympathy for The Singer grows-steadily.

V4: While I DO feel for The Singer's plight, NOW I feel "She's Overreacting". (Partly because I KNOW it's possible for a man to love MORE than one woman at a time, partly because I know "She'll get over it.") Partly because, yeah, I'm in the 75% Sample & am probably still a dick, at-heart..tho-reformed.

BRIDGE: Hmmm... As a Guy listening to this, I wanna shout "BUT I DO Have 'Something to Say' but it's NOT Being Listened-TO"...(While, OK..With Her Impeccable Logic, She's Right/Accept the fact You're Toast/Time to Move-On.)

All-in-all, a Great Gal's-Eye-View of Dealing With Infidelity, American-Style. I penned the Answer Song to it a while-ago, "I Never Thought I'd Get Caught"/& yep, I've done a fair share of Penance in my own relationship.

Good Luck with this..Hope it's been theraputic AND makes ya a Bundle (I guess the rat deserves it/you've earned it) & I'm eagerly awaiting hearing the Finished Product.

Best Wishes & Big Understanding Hugs,
Stan
