such an awesome story, really hope you update soon!

This is brilliant. I would absolutely LOVE to see another chapter further expanding on this story.

"…maybe he had been dumped? She would be damned if she would console him." Oh..My...God! This line in particular just struck me as pure genius. You are extremely good as getting the characters' emotions across realistically. The whole story has this authentic feel that is often lacking in many other fics I've read on AFF (and elsewhere on the 'net for that matter). I really hope you update this soon. This story has some real potential.

OMG!!! please continue this. It's really well written!

this is really good and i really want you to continue it. well written and well thought out, bravo!

I really like this story so far because it shows the characters as PEOPLE, not ninjas or human weapons. I really hope Sakura gives Sasuke a chance to redeem himself. Update soon please!

...Oh wow, I really liked this, it was so depressing, but so captivating, after about the first page I was hooked. Really I adored your style with this piece, the writing style seemed different from your other works, but maybe it's just because the subject matter is so much more serious... well whatever it was I love it. Although I'm not a fan of Sasu/Naru I still love this and can't wait to see what happens. Thanks so much for writing this.

oh my god...excellent work on this fic..i love you.....so sasuke dosent think the fact that sakura 'hates' him is cause he's cheating on her....well this story is so angsty i wanna cry poor sakura no woman should go through life living like that....sasuke you asshole you dont deserve her....what made naruto mad at sasuke that made him leave their 'training' session early.....i loved sasuke's pov kinda helps explain some how he feel but he's still an ass....he forgot her birthday...this line really got to me (".She decided to keep it simple, if she told him it was her birthday party he would just feel bad and it was really her fault that he didn’t care enough about her to remember…).....once again sasuke you ass...i was hoping for sakura to wake up and jump in the sack with sai.....please continue this please please i beg you, you cant let it end like this....

You know, this is how I'd see it ending up if Sasuke and Sakura really got together in the canon. Sakura has this idolized view of Sasuke, even after the time jump I still think she's holding on to this view of him, that's just not real. And I could see him marrying her because she's convenient and she could help him revive his clan, but I don't think they'd be happy. Even if he didn't go on to Naruto, or even have an affair with anyone, I think they'd be miserable together married.

I have to say, I feel a bit sorry for Sasuke in this. He has kids that don't want him, and it's not like he doesn't try it seems (though from Sakura's pov, she certainly makes it seem like he doesn't try). Despite the problems my mom and dad had, I would have loved to have him even try to talk to me. Try to do anything with me, instead I wouldn't hear from him for months at a time, even years. It's sad that the kids don't see it now, but if anything happens to him (and as a ninja it's something that's a definite possibility), they'd regret never giving him a chance. Instead, I guess they feel they're being loyal to their mother by shutting him out, but their just going to hurt themselves.

I hope that we'll get to see an update from Naruto's pov. We got a lot of Sakura, a bit of Sasuke, now I'd definitely be interested to see how Naruto got into the whole situation and how he feels about the whole thing. It would be kinda funny though, if Sasuke and Naruto were together first. You know, it might be bad of me, but I can't find it in me too much to feel sorry for Sakura. I actually feel more for Sasuke, even if he's the one having the affair. Not saying it's her fault, but I dunno, it feels like Sakura would go into marriage with Sasuke with a fairy tale image in her head, but not really think about the reality of the situation. Not really think about whether it would really be something she should do. I guess I should feel for her just for that, to have the dream crushed, but I dunno. Maybe I'm a bit heartless, but I find it hard to do that.

Anyways, I'm not sure if most of that made sense. I've become a confused rambler in my old age (almost 22, I'm ancient).

Wow, this is a great opening to what I know is going to be another great fic.

You have a wonderful talent for writing abou some very adult themes.

Heh, I'd love to know what Sai said to Sakura ^-^

And I can't wait to see if they can overcome their fears and work this mess out.
