Halfway through the essay I literally went "Oh. Oh no :("
I had felt uneasy about him throughout the story but gradually felt more and more reassured like "oh maybe this internet stranger is normal and nice after all" and then NOPE, creepy adulterous dude writing smut about a real, non consenting person. I don't know what bad thing I was expecting but I can't say that was it. Total whiplash.
Great piece, August. I felt so many emotions in such quick succession. But I'm sorry you went through this gross and demeaning experience and wasted time on this person. I hope his wife sees this and his daughter never does.
I’m going to be thinking about this one for a while. Your writing is so stellar! I’m sorry this happened to you. I feel so bad for this pathetic clown’s wife and his daughter.
Once again you remind me why you are one of my favorite writers. The ending of this story will stick with me for a while. Thank you for sharing this experience with us, even though I am sorry you experienced this in the first place.
I'm trying to write an interesting comment that adds something to the conversation, but it's hard because I'm so disturbed. And I don't want to be disturbed or patronizing when you've been so brave by sharing this. I want to be accepting and warm.
So, thank you for writing this piece, August. Like everything you write, it was literary brilliant, but, above all, I hope it helped you process that awful situation. I hope you're now happy and safe.

Mic drop. Excellent essay
Nice to hear from you, I actually just finished your novel!

Girl, you do find some really weird people :( It was so bizarre I kind of expected it to be fiction, but something tells me it is not.
I hope you are doing fine despite it all. There are better people out there, I hope you will find them eventually.
Wishing for your happy ending

Somehow "quiveringly" was the most upsetting part
