Yeah... Maybe "Loving Wives" need to be renamed to "Loving Spouses" or whatever seems appropriate. Great read still.
Well to be pedantic Marie did make love to another man prior to finalization of her divorce...
I don't understand, if a girl I slept with went and tried to make me jealous for no reason, I would never want to have anything to do with her ever again.
Hard to choose, but this is one of my favorite qhml1 stories. Great all the way through.
You are definitely a five star author. Definitely a five star rating for this story 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

An excellent feel good story! Loved the father and aunty surprise. Such very good writing... thank-you!
He married a psycho stalker, what an idiot.
If the genders were reversed and he did all the crap she did, the comment section would roast him, double standards at its finest. Cant believe people think this is a nice sweet story, this craps a horror.
Why would someone with any self-respect allow himself to be pushed around like this? Marie is a psycho at one and the same time domineering and needy, the country club ladies and their condescension reek of an arrogance that would turn off any man with any self-respect, and working for this particular father-in-law is a great way to make sure that whatever self-respect Jerry does have will be gone within a year or two. This is a major disppointment, way below qhml1's usual writing and story telling.
You have filled many hours with so many of the best stories on Literotica, for me at least. This story is just one of my favorites. Thank you for your inspired efforts. Think this is the third pass on this story - 5 stars.

An interesting, unique story... Definitely an inspiring tale of having good morals... 5 Stars seems to be completely insufficient... Thoroughly enjoyed reading Your work... Another Qhml1 story added to my favorites...
Ford/Hyundai dealership, and the Buick/Honda/Subaru dealership
Those are 5 separate dealerships. Good grief.
All the pushing around annoyed me but didn't really detract from what was a good story, until Marie went off birth control without telling Jerry. That right there is wrong on so many levels. She, and many of the other characters surrounding Jerry, including his own boss, seem to not at all respect Jerry and his decisions.
Marie is a cunt. First, she interferes in his dating life. When he's adamant about waiting until she's single, instead of respecting his decision she rapes him while he's drugged. Goes off the pill without telling him. She's a despicable human being.
I have a hard time understanding why someone with such high morals as Jerry would marry someone with no morals and so self-centered and selfish. Someone with morals like him wouldn't put up with her behaviors.
2 things, 1- old fashioned manners/chivalry should never die, fuck the feminatzis, 2- i would have given anything to experience a love such as theirs.
To all the anon who commented recently, it’s a bloody story, grow up and don’t bitch, I liked it!
Thanks Q, another great story even the second time around. Love these stories with at least one moral person in them. Like you said for this one Wrong Category and no cheating wife jus one that was a bit spoiled
What a great job on this story. Luv a happy story in this category, this will be one of my favorites. 5 stars *****
Great story (again). I loved it. I couldn’t help but wonder though, are Mom and Dad going to live in the MIL cottage? I mean neither one of them has a job anymore, right? Just a thought. ;-)
Fantastic! ***** stars!
For some reason, this touched a nerve and I weeped a little.
I guess I'm a softie

Nice story, with some typos and one distracting error throughout.
Bartender is one word, not two. Given that it’s a story about a bartender, it would have been good to get it right…
I disagree. I think this Marie character is repulsive. They were kinda seeing each other, and to remain professional he didn't want to be her date at his workplace which is very admirable. She couldn't have picked a different spot to go with him? Instead she decides to bring another man as a date to make him jealous. That is a world class bitch. She should have been crawling and begging for forgiveness before he took her back.
Too many stories where the guy thinks he's just not good enough for the girl.
FALSE MODESTY! IT SUCKS!!!
Very nice. I enjoyed this one, again. I noticed one thing this time that I hadn’t before. If it was Bob who ran Jerry over with the golf cart then why would it be Don who wanted to apologize? Just curious. Regardless, thanks for another great one, Q. 5⭐️s.
This story is why I normally give 4 stars as my top rating so when one like this comes
Along my 5 stars has a bigger impact.
Totally brilliant! A great read & a feel good resolution.

Wonderful story. 5
I read a comment we are celebrating cheaters now. Did I miss anything? Who cheated exactly? From reading the stories here I understand that once one side cheats and the other side plans a divorce, it's an open hunting season.
I love this story. Good people doing the right thing, plus some neat twists. Thank you
Enjoyable well written story, it's a shame this author isn't contributing as much now as in earlier years. Anonymous 25 days ago, don't you think that reading and understanding the story would help you form a honest opinion, rather than posting a comment that shows you have not read the story properly thus failing to understand it
I loved it. It was well written and thought out. I do believe it is in the right catagory too. ;-) Last time I looked, this was the Loving Wives Forum, and this was/is a loving wife story.
My wife tells me I went to mule school as well. Maybe the teachers name was Jerry Stone too, I don't know as I can't remember that far back.
I enjoyed the story for being different, with an unusual perspective of the bartender, who meets everyone in a bar at some point in time. I mean I've read quite a few stories on here but never from that angle before.
Story has great transition. Main character was built with detail and human qualities. Story has a very natural progression to a fitting and happy ending. BTRH...
"...he was tasered so much he lit up like a Christmas tree." Great line in a wonderful story.
QuickMagazine's got a lot of catching up to do on qhml1, one of the longstanding LW greats. I stumbled upon Egregious' sequel to penda's "Alice In Wonderland" (that sequel actually being an improved re-write of a sequel he'd posted under the name fivefplan1 - and then wisely withdrew in favor of the upgrade), and saw he also had one to this. So even though my intention was to go through unread ghml1 stories in chronological order, decided to jump the line and read this, so I could then monitor the sequel, and close the book (for now) on Egregious. Anyway, this was a pleasant 5. Since it was in LW, kept waiting for the cheating shoe to drop, but it didn't. For some reason, that reminds me of "Just Beth" by Slirpuff. Anyway, not sure the title has NOTHING to do with the story, since this clearly is an R masquerading as LW.
Excellent balance in the characters, going from despicable to the highest quality with principles and morals. I just loved the image of "... training a mule to be stubborn...". There is more style in this story than in others I have read. Thx
5*

Other than the part where Marie raped drunk Jerry - story was sweet and nice. Personally unable to digest any kind of rape as romance somehow.
Good stories never get old, simply age gracefully. I can count the times I've read this tale. Thanks Q!

While I'm happy for the happy ending, and if he broke things off it would have hurt him, too, but it would have served her right if he dumped her after that stupid stunt.
What a warm and enjoyable story. Q does it again with a fantastic set of characters and some great dialogue. Loved the twists at the end and how many of her family already had such respect for Jerry.
C'mon Q, get real! If you were really sorry about the title, you would not have chosen the one you did....
😆😆😆
A thoroughly delightful story!!!!
This is the third that I've read and really appreciate the fresh approach you take to each one.
Excluding the time she took advantage of him while under the influence of pain pills, was a lovely story.
always nice to read a "feel good" story without violence, unbelievable sex, public shame, etc. You just changed golf cart driver from Bob to Don once
"I know I took advantage of you while you were impaired due to drugs, but I'm not sorry for it. In fact I intend to do it again."
How nice.
Im going to be honest this story was just annoying from start to finish. The Bar Tender was fucking annoyingly superior the entire story like really the Bar Tender knows more than everyone about everything? Give me a fucking break. And Marie for fucks sake talk about co-dependent this chick is in serious need of some therapy and is one step away from being a out and out Submissive.
How dare you write a story where the leading man isn’t a cuckwimp and the leading lady isn’t a stone cold bitch! The trolls here must be sorely disappointed!
BTW , great story! 😁
Love this story.
As for the closing paragraph I do know a couple like that. The kids got together (and married) but both their parents were divorced. Go thru the "meet the parents" bit and one father and the other mother hit it off (sorry, don't remember whose parent was whose). End result was that they got married.
Think it thru - my buddy's wife was now his sister (step sister if you prefer) and her husband was her brother.
Phan-phrickin'tabulous! Doubt there will be another word master like the Q. Thanks bunches for another great late night read.
I did like this, nice steady story nice characters with that bit of fun thrown in, I think one of your better ones
An OK yarn. Perhaps more Romance than LW. My only gripe is that the MC was too perfect and Marie’s ex was a cartoon villain. Perhaps we need a part 2 where Marie gets bored with the MC and cheats on him. 4 stars and thanks for sharing.
So full of surprises. Each one seemed to open another door, yet the guy just stayed true to himself, well, almost. It is a nicely told tale and just so tongue-in-cheek with the title and such.
Defintely in the worng category. Could not be better placed. Love your sense of humour - and the ridiculous.
Amazing story. I didn't like the stunt with "making him jealous by bring a date", but she's proven in other ways she's worth it
Let’s count the crimes, and lack of accountability:
The MC is assaulted by three different men, and refuses to cooperate with police.
The MC is raped, and it’s supposed to be okay.
Change the MC to a woman, and how is this story received?!? All the meddling? Not cool!
Also, the man who assaulted the bailiff would NOT get community service. Bailiffs are part of the police community, and other cops would lose their damn minds over this. The prosecutor would charge him with felony assault, and he would go to prison, not jail.
A lot of ignoring human nature in this story.
ZK
Ever time I read this, I laugh at the “twelve” joke until I get tears in my eyes! Love this story (and the title)!
Really good a man with morals and a woman who is ultimately a kind and loving person.
Wow, this story here is definitely one of your very finest. An honest, moral and just man and a loving wife. This kind of story is what I imagined as a true Loving Wives story. It's just too bad I can't give this one more than 5 stars.
I thought Marie was pushing it a bit when she had sex with Jerry before the divorce because it could have blown up in her face if her husband had found out about it and used it against her in court. Other than that, it was an easy read that had a very happy ending.
I'm sorry, but the suspension of disbelief is too great to buy the happily ever after ending. "Hen pecked" is at least two orders of magnitude more freedom than he will ever have. She's a manipulative bitch and her dad's an asshole with power and no morals to reign him in. There's nothing redeeming about either one of them. As for the MC, he's just a wimpy little idiot who throws a couple of whiny tantrums before allowing the ring back in his nose so he can be led around like a show animal.
Definitely not one of your better works.
