Dear Mrs. Rich,
To be honest, I wasn’t sure how to start this. Not because I don’t have anything to tell, but I’m not exactly sure how to put this into words. I imagine if anypony else were in my horseshoes, there probably isn’t any easy way to even admit it out loud – let alone write this down. Maybe the best way to do so is to just come up front and say it: no sugar-coating, no white lies, no twisting of anything. I’m just going to come out and say it.
My name is Abila, I’m one of the cashiers at your husband’s store, and I… I had sex with your husband twice a week for the past three years – he pays me.

'single-hoofingly'? I don't think he did it all by himself, however much responsibility he might feel for it.
Interesting story? I mean, here I am, literally having an argument with the protagonist.
I don't expect i would ever read a fic that actually made me feel sorry for Spoiled Rich.
I can't imagine how shattering it must be to realize that for years behind your back, your entire relationship with someone has continously been reduced to just being 'the bitch' that they are shackled to.
Spoiled is hardly a pleasant pony, but damn man, she doesn’t deserve that.
Abila apologized at the end, but really he's probably bringing about a happier life for her by forcing all parties involved to confront the truth.
Poor Mrs. Rich. More importantly poor Diamond Tiara. To have a parent that is an open adulterer and constantly sleeps around with other ponies and the other to constantly be mean and belittle you. Diamond may need some therapy.
At least with the truth coming to light, all parties can pick up the pieces and move on and be happier for it.
I don't have any sympathy for anyone, except Diamond Tiara. If you treat your spouse poorly, you can't expect to be treated well in return. Filthy should have just divorced for irreconcilable differences, which there clearly is. That would have kept his reputation intact a bit better.
I don't have any sympathy for the writer either, you get involved with a married person, you deserve everything you get.
And I don't care the writer in the story was gay or fleeing the MLP version of intolerance land. You justify getting involved with dishonest people for "reasons", you'll get bad results every time. If they'll cheat with you, they'll cheat on you.
A well written, sad story.
Edit: I got downvoted? Lol, apparently pointing out that acting bad and doing bad decisions knowing they are wrong is worthy of downvotes.
Look folks, you get involved with married people or treat your SO bad, YOU ARE GOING TO GET HURT! Just walk away and don't get involved with people in relationships. And don't use your bad past experiences as an excuse.

You know what the fucked thing is. She probably knows and is well prepared to hold this over this over his head, and would more then likely to make Abila feel worse.
Of course I can't say I much care for Filthy in this story, but considering how Spoiled acts...

They are both terrible ponies, and Abila learned a hard lesson. That said, I have no sympathy for him either. He knew Filthy was married, so he shouldn't be shocked at the results.

Knowing how she treats ponies, I don't. No one deserves to be cheated on but you can't be shocked at creating or contributing to the problem.
oof, really starting off with a bang here!
so true! no reason for Zebrica to not be just as diverse as Equestria is, just with zebras instead of ponies
aww, math is the one thing that is still the same no matter where you are!
wow, Filthy Rich is quite the bastard to take advantage of him knowing this, even moreso than he already would be as his boss
and oof, that is too real. these moments can exist even in awful, exploitative relationships that never should have been in the first place. ah, complexity
oof, and this being the straw that broke the camel’s back even as Abila was suffering everything else from Filthy… he really was holding onto the hope that there was something real underneath all of that
i definitely blame him far less for this than he blames himself, but i get why he would feel so guilty. poor guy! really hope that he finds a better life with a far better stallion after getting himself out of this mess.
an unpleasant situation, but one ripe for a dramatic story such as this. i definitely felt a lot for Abila here. thank you for writing!
