I presume that 'critique' is meant to be just a light-hearted joke since it's in the humour section. If that's the case then it's actually not very funny at all, it's more someone being obnoxious than being clever. And if it's supposed to be serious, well that's fine since nobody really listens to a retard anyway.
I think where people are missing the point is that it really doesn't matter whether this story is true or not. It never claims to be true, it's just told in a storywise fashion. To me it's kinda more like some sort of bible or fable story with the moral ending. It's a nice read but I wouldn't put too much emphasis on whether it 'really happened or not'.
I think it makes me feel what any clean cut moralistic bible story would me feel, not a lot. It's basically a little short story and I've read it now, great but now moving on to other things.
Probably this is where my cynical side comes in, I'm sure to some people it would feel like some sort of revelation and evoke happy and sad emotions but for me I'd think 'So the moral of the story is to appreciate the little things about being a couple to maintain a relationship. Great well any person with reasonable common sense should already know this and I'm one of those people so this is completely useless to me.'
