Awesome idea! Well done!

I’ve read this story a few times now and it has made me smile each time⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great story. Brad and Janet got just what they deserved.

Five stars easy... I love this writer...he had a talent with dialogue writing to create character persona with creative humor.... I miss his writing.

People need to lighten up. It was a funny story!! 5/5

All's fair in love and war -- and that goes double if it's both at once!

Good story (whether likely, or not)!

If only that plan would work it would sure be fun to be the SOB. When my ex split I only had paltry funds in my pocket and she took that on her way out. Our hero moved megabucks out of the country and I had meagers for bus fare .....

I really liked it although there could have been more filling. The wife needed to know the mc did it to her. Some of your anon comments make it humorous though.

I'd have liked an explicit wrap up on the adulterers.

As it is, this is how I see it playing out.

She was charged and temporarily suspended from her job pending her trial. When it was discovered her ex fled the country, and when combined with the severity of the injuries, the investigators switched their focus to the ex-husband.

Due to her high security clearance and the destination chosen by the ex-husband, the investigation was viewed as a national security threat and more powerful assets were put to use to find the ex-husband and bring him back for questioning. He was eventually charged and incarcerated, ending up with a violated asshole the size of a silver dollar.

Ok this is fiction, but now way he pulls this off. Not remotely believable. Je is seen drinking with the guy every night. There is a history. And the moron blames Janet? What evidence? Her rolling pin? Please...

The ending was pretty flat. Good story though.

Too depressing to this female.

Pretty good plan for the BTB.

perfect ending .

5 stars

Good story, although the ending was incomplete.

Well written but the main character is not only a cuckold but is an abusive bully as well. I await the sequel where he loses all his money in a crypto-currency scam and has to survive in a cramped apartment with Brad while Janet uses her security contacts to terrorise her two former partners. Revenge is a bitch.

Really? The wife couldn't be bothered to protect her money? 👇

Novel approach; didn't see the ending coming. And I'm sure neither did she. Nice short story- almost too short not telling what happened for the wife to fall for another man. 4 stars Bob

Love this humorous little gem. They both got just what they deserved. Great writing.

5-😊😊😊😊😊

For those wondering where Janet's punishment was a) She lost her reputation. b) She ended up without her security clearance. c) She ended up out of work. d) She ended up with jail time and a criminal record. e) she ended up virtually penniless.

Confusing? Yes, I'd say so. Pros and cons as to to how he handled it. It doesn't matter, the nationality, all guys have different ideas on how to to get even for wife's infidelity, so calm down. Whether you agree or not isn't an issue, it's his business. There are no right or wrongs; it is how you feel when it's done. Then it's how it's written. Good job. Keep writing.

XYZ

What a load of crap.The only realistic fact is his wife leaving him for Brad (no reason given),the rest including the beatings is pure nonsense.

Good story, but a little short on the ending. What was the aftermath?

Once again another cheating wife goes unpunished. Zero remorse,zero accountability, zero penance! Grow a pair and make the cheating whores actually pay for their actions!

That's a good one! Wasn't even a good match, hubby won all the battles and the war.

Great story keep them coming love the revenge

Never thought about it...can you have a rolling pin in your carry on bag?

"It Doesn't Matter Why"

So he's running away because if there's no assets or money prior to a divorce they legally can't touch it there was no reason to run away.

great btb

awesome story. I loved it

I love the blatant deviousness of the MC. Living well is the best revenge, leaving carnage in your wake is a close second. Good story.

no love, no emotion, no reason why these ppl were married

When a spouse leaves another unexpectedly, the victimized member will do whatever they can to get back in the good graces of the other, even taking responsibility for the problems in the marriage. The best thing that one could do, as specified in this story, is to let the offending wife think that you are happier without her. That is what is so great about this story. Husband comes home to empty house, wife has left his for his neighbor, man loses, wife, neighbor, friends, all self respect and esteem. But in this case transfers everything over to the offending parties. He can always find a new wife, and a new neighbor but his actions restore his self respect, something he couldn't have done otherwise. Great story.

Logistically idiotic.

A rolling pin is usually made out of the best, heavy hard maple. Nonetheless, one does not risk injury to it by such treatment. a baker's husband would know this. A funny story, but let's leave, "bearing false witness," to the bad guys, and keep the victims a bit more honorable.

Solid work start to finish. Liked it.

Great premise. Never seen a revenge plot like this before. Very believable that it could work in destroying their relationship because she cannot prove her innocence in terms of not beating the passed out boyfriend or her lack of sex given to the previous husband. She would eventually get her security clearance reactivated because there is no proof to convict her. But all this trouble would seriously mess up her life. 5 stars - great job!

If it had to be soda I'd made it a Dr.Pepper Cherry

only diet mtn dew on the beach would have been better.

LOL

Nice story. AAAA++++

I don’t usually go for BTB stories. This one is an exception. Clever!

Some of the commenters questioned the house sale. I assumed the property was in his name. Yes, she would legally be entitled to some of the proceeds (depending on the state), but her signature and presence are unnecessary during the sale.

Do the ends (she receives retribution) justify all the illegal practices. The "hero" is the anti-hero and like Satan in Genesis 3, the lowest of the low who should crawl on his belly and eat dirt forever. Tee! hee!

Clever writing, though!

Pies, huh? Good one!

So much fun to read... I guess you really do reap what you sow!! 5 stars

Great story, and almost believable

lol, i loved it. great story

Hilarious.

OK, this one left me laughing. As a man on marriage #3, I enjoyed this one and wish I could have pulled this off dealing with my first two wives! Love the story, the humor and now - off to the next story. Thanks .......

4 stars for this story.

I really appreciated the revenge the husband got on the ASSHOLE, as well as the BITCH being left in jail.

It was great as far as it went, BUT the ending kind of sucks.

Maybe FTDS should add his two cents worth and make a proper ending with a few more details?????

The story's title - "It Doesn't Matter Why" strikes to an essential part of the whole cheating enchilada.......Why do people Cheat? The answer is much simpler then most people think. People cheat because they can! So, you think you need more detail than that? Well, People cheat because of greediness, because of narcissism, because of a lack of empathy for others affected by their shit decisions. They cheat because they value the ego stroking of all the illicit sex with an affair partner more than they value your well-being. But the reasons simply boil down to — greed, opportunity, and not fucking caring.

One very common mistake the the relation partner of a cheater makes is believing that the WHY is way more complicated than it is. They will invest all their energy in a pointless exercise trying to figure out the cheater and their motivations asking why they are this way or why that way, instead of asking themselves the harder and more important question of — why am I hanging around this megabitch who doesn't give a shit about me.

Good story, I was hoping a little more at the end.

Oh come on now, I'm thinking leapyearguy is leapyeargal. Only a ex-wife could come up with a plan this devious/dirty/underhanded - and funny!

Again...we get the whole story about the guy...but it's the wife who's cheating...and their is a whole nother story here...Right...but their isn't...is their........

A good 5 star story but really cut off at the best part, was hoping to see the aftermath of the MC's revenge.

Second read thru and I enjoyed it more than the first time⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

good read

Well written, enjoyed the story "bunches"! Great revenge! Would have liked to learn why she decided to leave her husband though!

i little of the fallout would have been nice this just left me wanting

"The best plan of attack is that of deceiving your enemy into defeating himself!"

LOL I loved it, great story.

Again, Brad got his meat head beaten and the bitch ex got burned. Perfection.

written a continuation of this story in the last 13 years ??? I'd love to read it!!

Should've been longer.

clever flash

Gotta love a man with a plan.

5*

5* from me

to a crisp

Don’t bother

I always give 5 stars when pay back is a bitch. LOL!

Lame.

Having Janet just moved in with him,there is no way Brad would be in the bar every night.

He still loved her, he was rotting away inside, after his revenge what did he have nothing. The story about how he got away stealing her share of the money and the house didn't ring true, as a story it was a waste of time reading it. Nobody is as thick as Brad was portrayed.

Not bad.

Even if he owned it before the marriage, after 15 years of marriage, the wife has an interest in any appreciation since the marriage. Even if there’s no appreciation, no title insurance company would write a policy of title insurance without the wife signing off on the deed, and anybody buying would be a fool to purchase without title insurance.

Short, very funny and to the point...Needed nothing more...4*

There is no way Brad would have fallen for that routine after a couple of nights Brad would have challenged Janet about the beatings.

Whoa...

Well sirs...you damn well made me smile...smile with pleasure.

Devil in me salutes you!!!

Thank you.

"well, how could anyone have a security clearance government or private company, if they are willing to be a cheater?"

I've had more than a few job interviews in my life, but have yet to hear "Do you have any references from your previous job, and by the way, have you ever cheated on your wife/girlfriend?"

Besides, in many government jobs, it's almost a prerequisite to be untrustworthy.

well, how could anyone have a security clearance government or private company, if they are willing to be a cheater?

Sort of means they are not trustworthy doesnt it?

Wonder when Brad and Janet went to Denton for the Annual Translyvanian Convention? It sure was a rainy night. I guess that adventure might have started Janet on the slide to sluthood. I heard her tits were pretty much identical to a young Susan Sarandon. Rocky says "Hi".

This was a truly worthless story. I lost any hope when the husband sold the house without the wife's knowledge. That is an impossibility as no one would buy any real estate without the signatures of both husband and wife.

Then, the intelligent wife does not see assets disappearing?

Pure crap this story.

BTB at its finest!!!

Perfect set up. He gets to kick Brad's ass and blame it on Janet. Two birds with one rolling pin.

I don't understand why anyone would want to drink more than a drink or so until revenge is planned and carried out

Plan

Protect assets

What punishment and steps required

Any former friends need to be included aided and abetted

Rest of life?

:) 5*

security clearance was in trouble the minute she cheated.

Would you trust her?

I often wonder if Dark2Dumbass's mom yells at him to get off the computer when it's past his bedtime.

That's a dandy story. No whining, no crying, just some quick action using his brain. Really worked out well!

You are male, from Texas and straight! You are still anonymous, idiot! If you want to make your comment then you should have included an email address and phone number. If you don’t provide those then you are just as anonymous as me.

Anon’s always got something to say. Pony up for an account and stand behind your statements. I know it’s expensive and all...😏....

This.is an excellent little flash story. Got away clean.

Amazing set of unsupported assumptions you have there. You maybe cheat and not get forgiven? Maybe you haven't been married, or not for long anyway?

Have any evidence she did anything to "maintain the marriage"? All too often the reason the husband is the last to know is because of trust, as in his for her. If she isn't happy it isn't his job to read her mind. It's her job to tell him. If she didn't she failed, no excuses.

Mike: "I bet my life on her, she got every thing from me that I had to give."

Sounds like a guy who was trying to me. A guy who's committed to keeping his promise. Maybe Mike didn't do the right things, but it was Janet's job to tell him that so he had a chance to fix it or for them to decide together that marriage was a mistake. If he didn't see it coming she damn well didn't tell him it was.

A marriage of many years gets quiet, slow, boring. It has very likely built up frustrations over the imperfections you both have. You've talked everything to death. You've tried everything you're brave enough to ask for. Sure you can rekindle excitement, but it takes way more work than finding someone new who is exciting. With someone new they're exciting just because they're new and you're learning all about them. With someone you've lived with for twenty years you have to overcome all the arguments and frustrations of life AND find something new to share.

It's all very improbable, but that was fun! I actually wish it were reality. That was a fun read. Thank you.

sweet!!!

To Detroit - have you ever seen a drunk toddler? 😁

Some people don't have any sense of humor at all. Well, kiss my ass, I enjoyed it anyway, good job. Signed: BTW
