In sickness and in health? NOT

Pushing him to get help? Good move.

Moving out when he became violent? No other choice.

Dating without telling him or filing for divorce? Wrong.

No remorse for breaking her wedding vows? Lousy.

Still cheating after reconciliation? Selfish and unforgivable.

Fucking around on husband while sick is one thing, but still doing it while back home is bullshit. Nobody but a fucking wimp would put up with that billshit. this story is depressing.

So much for "for better or worse..."

If this is a true story, it's a sad commentary on the willingness of some people to understand the problems a spouse may be going through. She was saying, "Screw you, Joe. I need sex more than I need to understand your need."

If it's not a true story, it reflects on the pathetic mental attitude of the author. Especially what she did after she and Joe got back together. Let's face it, it was still all about her and her "screw you, Joe" attitude.

A slut, is a slut, is a slut, no matter what the

excuse. If she wanted to date and get sex she needed a divorce. She was not free of her marriage contract and was not an independent woman. Nor even with the use of condoms was it safe, sane, consensual sex. Her husband had not agreed prior to her actions for the sexual acts and intimacies with the other men. She intended to cheat, and she cheated, no woman cheats by accident. She exposed herself, and indircetly her husband later by her actions to a ton of STDS and AIDS, as well as to public knowledge of others in the community. She is a slut, hubby needs to get well and cast her off so she can continue to be the boys punching bag. Trash is trash, always throw it to the curb.

Loving Wife?

If this is a loving wife I would hate to see what the author thinks is an unloving one! Amoral and selfish. Her attitude after they get back "together" is unbelievable. He would be much better off without her.

Attacking the author is childish and tiresom

When are people going to realize that *portraying* a certain behavior is not synonymous with *condoning* it?

Yes, I'm speaking rhetorically. Most are, quite simply, so enmeshed in their own perspective they're not capable of such a leap.

That said, Joe's wife is clearly less concerned with her husband's well being than she is her own sexual gratification. It's one thing to say, "He drove me to divorce him," which is in many instances justifiable. It's quite another to attempt legitimizing adultery, which is impossible according to the wedding vows as spoken. ["Forsaking all others" limits one's friendships to the Platonic kind, sweetie.]

Such people do exist, though. Perhaps Joe's depression has more to do with the realization of what a mistake he made marrying her than she's able or willing to admit.

I imagine she'd have quite a different attitude were Joe to suddenly strike up a *friendship* or two of his own.

Lets see if This is LOVE or whoring around

Ok the premise here is that JOE wont get help for his depression-- he wont even bother to see if he HAS depression. Maybe he doesnt... but Joe will not even bother to find out.

<br></br>

OK ...fair enough. wife goes 9 months with no sex.

<br></br>

even IF we accept that 9 months IS a reason for her to cheat with MANY MANY men.... MANY MANY times -- and I dont for a second -- but let accept it... to see where this leads.

<br></br>

<i>

Despite the fact that he was still my husband and I still loved him, I decided to accept when a casual acquaintance asked me for a date... we fucked up a storm....We continued to see each other for a month or so, Peter and Karl... </i>

<br></br>

then Joe goes into the hospital... starts to get better,... starts to see his ahem "WIFE" (or whore) she sees the condomns... NEVER apologizes

<br></br> <i>

Do I look like a fucking nun, Joe? You're the one who killed our love life.

<br></br>

He asked if I was in love.

<br></br>

"Yes, I am. I'm in love with you, you big dope." I kissed him. </i>

<b> sure she is ..she is just fucking LOTS of oher guys

</b>

<br></br>

<i>

Now that he was working at fixing his problem, he wanted to know if I would be ending my relationships with Karl and Peter. I told him that I would make that decision if and when I moved back in with him. </i>

<br></br>

Note the Answer... she <b>MIGHT decide </b> to end it with Karl and Peter <b>IF </b> she moves back in with Joe. MIGHT DECIDE.

<br></br>

then again she might not

<br></br>

<i>

He told me that he assumed I was giving up my other lovers. I told that there was a good possibility that I'd continue to see Ben whenever he came to town, but that might would only be a couple of times a year. He wasn't really happy with my answer, and <b>I reminded him that it was his doing that caused me to take up with these other men in the first place. He agreed. </b> </i>

<br></br>

<b>Goddam this stupid fucking author... CLINICAL DEPRESSION is a mental iLLNESS. IT IS NOT A CHOICE

<br></br>

this author just made number 1 on my Hate list...</b>

This is sad

It is sad that there are people like this. Clearly the wife didn't realize that maybe her adultery would contribute to Joe's depression. Had Joe not been depressed, I think that she would have eventually cheated on him anyway, his depression just offered her away to legitimize her affairs(in her mind). I believe the author struck out with this one, and I agree with some of the other readers. Had Joe taken a lover or two in an attempt to get through the depression, and his wife's affairs, she would have divorced him in a second. I hope this story is the author's way of trying to show that there are people like this out there. I would love to see a version where the husband finally realizes that being with his wife is prohibiting his mental recovery and kicks her to the curb. Maybe he gets some therapy and his therapist shows him the truth of the matter? Sounds like a possibility.

Incredibly Sad

I almost always rate stories on technical skill. This one was so sad, so mean, so shallow in the takng advantage of someone with a mental illness, it was sickening. I broke my rule of if I hate it I don't rate it for this story. Use your considerable writing skills on something more then kicking the mentally ill when they are down. This one was so sick it belonged in the fetish or BDSM category.

Husband in Hell; Wife Doesn't Care

The tag "A Couple Deals With Depression" is BS. <i>He</i> deals with depression, alone, resulting in a suicide attempt, while she abandons him and screws around.

<p>This is a heartless story because it totally avoids giving any insight into what the world looks like to Joe, or any recognition of what depression is. He's "grumpy" and "pigheaded" -- no, Harry, he's in Hell, and she really doesn't give a damn. The story conveys no sense of what this kind of abandonment and betrayal would mean to a man already suffering in that Hell. And in the end, she basically exploits his low sense of self-worth to make him a permanent cuckold -- he accepts it because "it was all his fault."

<p>I don't mind stories about cruel selfish people, but such cheery portrayals of monstrous egotists like this woman are more than a bit sick-making. Call this a moralistic criticism, if you like, but the real flaw is that the story doesn't deal with reality, with what it would be like to be Joe, and what goes into making a person like the wife.

She's not a keeper

She said she would never go behind his back or humiliate him, yet she had sex with three men while they were seperated. Now they are back together and she informs Joe she will still see Ben two or three times a year. That sounds alot like humiliation to me. It seems this women has a memory problem that she should see a Dr. about, she can't remember her wedding vows!

AnonymousAnonymousabout 17 years ago
sad indeed

i wonder what the wife would do if one of her kids is mentally challenged.

i've read alot of reasons why wife strays in this category, but her reason takes the cake.

there are no likable character in this story. in fact, there are no character development. what is his job and what is her job? in this kind of stories, money seems never a problem. they have kid/s, a house, and she have an apartment. he's depressed so he cant work, she just whore around, where do they get there money?

at least make it a little plausible. you think kids would just stand by when their dad has depression and their mom whore around? i think the writer needs to do some research before writing this kind of a story.

Vulcan_in_OhioVulcan_in_Ohioabout 17 years ago
Well-written but immoral . . .

I agree with most of the other comments, especially regarding the broken wedding vow "In sickness and in health." Let's say the wife has breast cancer and due to 9 monthsof chemotherapy, she is not in the mood for sex, she's depressed, her vagina is dry, etc. How would she like it if her spouse said he really needs sex and can't go that long, so he moves out "because she's impossible to live with" and gets it on with a couple of nice ladies? Then her breast cancer is cured, her depression gets better, she wants him to move back in and he does but states he will still see one of the ladies occasionally for sexual variety, insurance, to punish her for what she "put him through while she was ill," or whatever other excuse he wants, but it's just sex, not love, so she should just put up with it. I think this analogy is fairly appropriate and yet we can all see how ridiculous it sounds. If he refused help, and he gets violent, then obviously she can't live with him and moving out was the right strategy. But dating and fucking other men should obviously wait until a divorce, or at least a legal separation. She is getting even with her perception of the husband's behavior which is her feeling that he hit her out of anger and not due to mental illness (depression). The anti-depressants are not working 100% and that's why he is still passive and can't fight her infidelity. Where are his family and other friends? Does he have no support mechanism other than his wife? I think he should say to her, "If you really love me and want to give our marriage another chance, then you can't be fucking other men on the side, whether it's secret or not." "If fidelity means so little at this point, then let's just divorce and be done with it, your actions could put me back into a depression."

Reactions...

I think that one of the reasons why this story has struck a nerve is because some of us have dealt with a family member or close friend who has clinical depression or some kind of mental illness--and some of us have lost that person through suicide. Clinical depression is not something to take lightly, especially as a plot angle for cheating. Any reasonable person will know that any unhealthy situation (like a cheating spouse who blames her affairs on her husband) around the afflicted person might kill him because in the end because what does he have left? He certainly will have no self-respect, no loving net to fall into when the darkness closes in.

My daughter lost her best friend through clinical depression. He committed suicide, downing a bottle of sleeping pills. He called my daughter after taking them. She did not know he was dying while he was speaking to her on the phone. When he finally told her, she grabbed her phone, desperately calling 911. He was in one state, she in another - she cried and pleaded with him to stay awake, hoping that the paramedics would arrive in time. He did not die alone. He died while speaking to my daughter. She carries that grief with her till this day. I carry it too. I loved him. He was 27 years old. He'd lost his job, many of his friends, his fiance, everyone and everything that mattered to him, and yes, he was under treatment and medication when he committed suicide. Sometimes even that doesn't help, especially if the woman you love is now pregnant by another man - he told my daughter that was the last straw.

This story hit home. I cried as I read it. And the only thing I could think was Joe get out, get yourself better, think about yourself - God knows your loving wife is ONLY thinking about herself. No man could regain mental health with a woman that is telling him "it's your fault that I'm fucking other men." run, my friend, run, save yourself.

I Do Not Get It!

The title of your story is "Joe" - the husband but it seems to be about the wife's reaction to her husband's illness. Your story also seems cruel. ____________________________

One of the characteristics of clinial depression is that fact that the person (male or female) does not feel the need for treatment. Instead of being with Joe "in sickness and health" she runs off to start her own life including lovers. She has no regular contact until his suicide attempt. I guess it was part of her plan to get him better by abandoning him until he comes to his senses.___________

Even when Joe gets treatment she does not agree to come home until things are back to normal. She even keep one of her lovers Ben when they get back together and she blames everything on Joe. What a loving wife NOT!________________

If the couple opened their marriage by the wife's actions why Joe did not start dating other women as well?_________

They both need help

This story is woefully short of character developement. We are led to believe that Joe's moodiness slipped into depression without any precipitating events. This is not very believable. Surely there must be more going on in Joe's life than a gradual mental health decline. Is his job too much for him? Are there money problems? Has a parent he was close to died recently? We are not given enough information about Joe to understand why he is in a depressed state.****

The wife, who is not given a name, is caring and giving in the first part of the story. She seeks out the opinion of an RN, conveys the friends diagnosis of possible depression to her husband, and continuously urges him to seek professional care. She is supportive until Joe strikes her and then immediately decamps, finds her own apartment, seemingly washing her hands of the whole mess leaving their daughter to deal with Joe.****

On the surface this is understandable but her later behavior is less so. The wife then starts dating to fill a void created when she abandoned her husband. She has sex with some guy on her second date and later has sex with two other men. When Joe comes over to her apartment she leaves condoms out where they can be seen. In effect she is saying to Joe, 'See what you have driven me to do. It's all your fault.' Yet she professes love for her husband.****Even after Joe is on the road to recovery she still maintains a sexual relationship with Ben, introducing her lover to Joe, thus rubbing Joe's face in her infidelity. She will continue with Ben for as long as it pleases her which places her own needs above the importance of her marriage.**** The author has created a very selfish woman who doesn't seem to understand how demeaning her behavior is to her husband. She is taking advantage of his precarious mental health by putting him second to her own needs for sexual satisfaction all the while proclaiming her love for Joe. She needs as much help as Joe does.

From the inside

Thank god my wife came from a different mold than the one portrayed. I've been on anti depressants for 10 years and, as a result of having surgery, have only been able to provide my wife with (infrequent) oral sex for 7 years. She said I didn't have a problem, rather that "we had a problem" and she has been at my side the entire time. She hasn't used what I have been going through as an excuse to climb into bed with other men.

The author's story is just that, a story, but stories are designed to bring out the readers emotions and this one has certainly done that. As one with the same problem I can only tell you that if the story was realistically continued, the second suicide attempt would have been successful.

The writing is pretty good, but the story is pretty strange. It' not erotic, there is no evidence of "loving wife" except for wife's constant repitition of her "love for the big lug", and, as all your readers have said,she may not think that keeping a hot lover on the side is humliating for the husband but the rest of the world thinks it is totally humiliating for him.-depressing story.

Selfish

The wife in this story starts out as a caring, loving, partner.

When she leaves her husband, she becomes a vindictive, selfish bitch. How is her cheating helping anyone? When her husband attempts suicide, does she give up her side cock? No. When her husband truly tries to get better, does she give up her side cock? No. She will cause him to kill himself, which is what she really wants him to do. She wants to pay him back for his having a disease. I suffer from depression, although my wife didn't cheat or leave, she threatened too. Medication does effect you sex drive. She never lets me forget that I put her through hell when I wasn't on meds. What is wrong with women? If she had a disease, I would stick by her. When she was over it, should I cheat and hold her responsible?

Agree absolutely with "From the inside"

from Canada.

All this selfish woman has done is ensure the success of his next suicide attempt.

A person with a deep depression does not make rational decisions, and as a few posters have said, they are not merely in 'a bad mood'.

Otherwise, a fair enough read, though the ending, while ok for this episode, is not THE end of the story.

AnonymousAnonymousabout 17 years ago
horrible wives, not loving wives

The woman in your story is truly dispicable. To summarise: she walks out on her husband who has a mental illness (okay, this is understandable because it is hard to live with someone who suffers depression), she then begins cheating on him (yes it is cheating because she has not made it clear the marriage is over) with numerous partners, she then continues to see her lovers after she has agreed to attempt reconciliation, then after she moves back with her husband she continues seeing one of her lovers - using his mental illness as emotional blackmail in order to obtain his consent.

Did I miss anything.

Although the first part of the story about the breakdown of the marriage is plausible, I find the ending (where she uses his mental illness as an excuse for retaining one of her lovers) as kind of like blaming a cripple for not being able to walk. If this character really did love her husband she would have tried to get past the things that happened while he was ill and tried to re-establish a proper marriage, instead of using the situation to her selfish advantage.

Thanks

I want to thank everyone who commented. Most of you clued in to the intent of the story. Those of us who suffer from depression depend heavily on our loved ones for support. I'd likely be dead if it weren't for my wife's love and care. I'm sure that there are husbands and wives out there in the same category as Joe's wife, but I hope like hell they're in the minority. To those of you who attacked me personally for what I've written... Eat shit and die!

it's odd

It's odd that women can choose to rewrite their marriage vows because a husband acts moody and then kick him out if he doesn't cater to her every whelm reguardless of her moodiness. THere has been much mentioned about a double standard when it somes to cheating (alright for men & not for women). I believe that from a larger viewpoint there is a serious double standard when it somes to the "better or worse" clause in the marriage ceremony. Somen are fine with demanding acceptance of their every mood while they are much less likely to be supportive of their man if he has trouble mentally. One n three men will be treated for some sort of mental illness in their life. It's slightly more for women. I would be interented in finding out if there isn't a higher rate of divorce when the man is facing issues instead of the woman.

The wife in this story is a slut.

Plain and simple.. Without bothering to get a divorce or anything she starts fucking the town and intends to continue doing it while back with the husband.. That should be enough to depress the hell out of him. Maybe drive him crazy.. Killing crazy..

So what she wasn't getting sex, neither was Joe and he was more miserable than she was. A slut.

Well written

With a husband that is ill maybe the wife was being selfish by not cooling her extramarital affairs when she agreed to move back in with him but if he is fine with it why should anyone else care. It's his decision. If he didn't want her doing it he could have refused her return

She only loves what ever makes her happy

This is a real stretch at trying to place blame on others for their own wants. The wife found she liked having it all her way. It is called having your cake and eating it too. She has found an alibi to cuckold her husband and have whatever it is she wants. She doesn’t love her husband only what ever makes her happy. She has no love in her for anyone but herself. What a story of deceit laden with a true hatred of someone who is sick.<p>PT

That's a Loving Wife?

I loved that the story was well written and believable. I can almost see the wife leaving (but to abandon a sick spouse, mummm), it's the last part that hard to get your mind around. If they finally get back together, it would make perfect sense to me that she would go back to being a one man wife. I would think that sharing her with another even a couple times a year would lead to more mental health issues. Anyway, good writing, but not such a good ending...

No love lost here...

You made a good job at describing a character which makes your stomach turn; like whom you pray you’ll never ever cross paths with.

There is also a chill factor. Only gradually you discover how terrible she is; the worst kind of your nightmares. Quiet and pleasant at first, then gradually and in her own words, no guilt or shame, the cruelty gradually unveils. Her victim is her mentally ill husband. She makes sure that he gets punished for his illness. Her ploy is as simple as it is cruel. One sided open marriage while at the same time mentally abusing her husband (no, taking pills does not cure you from all kinds of depression).

From your comment it sounds like you did not aim it to come that way, but in truth, it does not fit to loving wives (I could not think of a story which could fit less). This very disturbing story of abusing the mentally ill could at best fit the horror section (not the BDSM as there is NO true willing recipient of the cruel treatment). It sure gave me a chill.

Emerald_DragonEmerald_Dragonalmost 17 years ago
Dissapointed in the end

I liked the fact that it was very true to life with respect to the husband not wanting to get meds and it leading to a separation. The ending however was not realistic. What self respecting man would let his wife continue to cheat on him when he is back to being able to satisfy her and things were back on track? That is the sort of thing that leads to depression and with him getting psych. help as well he should not have stood for it. That marriage is still very much on the rocks.

Simple49erSimple49erabout 16 years ago
I knoq he is depressed, so I will have an affair!

25 points for understanding depression, at least on the surface. But when he went to get help, the first thing his psychologist would tell him would be to get out of situations that depress him and find a more positive and supportive atmosphere. Oh, yes, doctor, my wife loves and supports me so much that she left me for another man and trys to help now by going to see him and have sex that I do not seem able to give her. This give me pride that I fail her and I feel so much better.

Crap! The man is sick and the wife is selfish. This is a dysfuctional situation and they both need SERIOUS help. A lawyer would be good at this point, but the man is broken and gone he is unable to see that and clearly the psychologist is not helping him regain his self-esteem.

Simple49erSimple49erover 15 years ago
Let's see?

My wife is depressed and treats me badly, but I know that she is depressed so I stay to help her instead of running out on her. But in COMPENSATION for my pain and suffering - putting up with the ill temper and lack of bedroom support - I go out and get a girl friend behind her back. Wife gets better and is understanding about my keeping the girl friend - NOT! Her already low self-esteem would drive her further into depression and and her psychologist would tell her to get a divorce from this awful situation and find a suppportive situation with a man and start sex with him after recovery and a new marriage. Joe is still deeply depressed or he would not have countenanced his wife's continuing relationship. Reality.

Great writing, sad ending to a troubled marriage

Yes Joe drove her away and I think he can accept that she had needs during that time. Seems short of in sickness and health but I didn't live through it. She seemed very slow to get back to the "one she loved". Couldn't give up the steady porking she was getting. What kind of example was she setting for her daughter and her marriage. One of the comments stated that Jo would be driven deeper into depression by her need to keep her lovers. I agree.

The story is well written, but.

Technically your story is well done. You present good character development and the story has a good flow; some minor mistakes but far fewer than a lot of the stories on this sight.

Normally I don't comment or react to the characters or their actions; the author knows his people better than I. However the character of the wife is nothing more than a self centered slut.

Yes she was right to move out when her husband hit her. No reason, even his clinical depression, for her to be a punching bag. But going out with a casual friend and fucking his brains out repeatedly is over the edge. Another relationship with a younger man, because he's enthusiastic, borders on being nothing more than a slut.

Perhaps the medication the husband finally starts using keeps him from being angry about her continuing to see "Ben" when he's in town, but I find it beyond the realm of reality. If nothing else it would have to add to his depression.

In my mind the author tried to make the wife a figure of long standing suffering and justified in her slut like actions. I find nothing redeeming about her and can only hope the husband kicks her ass to the curb.

Wow!

She is a cheating slut and will remain one because he was sick? Wow? You have a strange sense of moral fibre for your character. And she continued to love him? Wow!

What a sad sick story

This ending doesn't work.

The author has dug a hole too deep for the wife to climb out of. There's no remorse, no sense of empathy, no evidence that the wife is anything more than a cheating slut who uses her husband's illness as an excuse for her adultery. The reconciliation has to be balanced with redeeming qualities. The wife is portrayed as having next to none. The author leaves no room for sympathy toward the wife. The natural end to the story would be a divorce, not a further decent into a hell that would eventually ensure another suicide attempt.

Please!!!!!!!!!!!

Even a depressed man would divorce that bitch and move on, if a it was a woman and he cheat while she was PG every woman in the world would be like "FRY HIS ASS". But be cause it's a women, she's lonely.

Horrible

This is a seriously sick story. I would say it was written by a woman with a cuck for a husband but I would be wrong. That makes this story even sicker. -137 stars

Horrible wife

Wife KNOWS her husband is sick, so she makes it ALL ABOUT HER. What a piece of garbage.

Slut Wife

Happy to spread her legs at the first opportunity, no thought to her husband who was obviously unwell.

real cut of life..

some times we do not like this type of a story.. this one plays like so many relationships... one or both of a relationship needs to address their needs for some meds... Not to become drug dependent... in this case the wife having lovers is her drug...

Vows

Do the words "in sickness and in health" ring any bells.

So much for vows

Sickness and health. How is her behavior of having sex with other men supposed to help his depression?

Garbage

Yet again another garbage story instead of staying with your husband typical wife. Has to go looking for other cock so all inal this was the most dumbest story dealing with depression going. Instead of helping all she did was put her needs first. Anyway yet again another garbage story enough said.

In sickness and in health means nothing to this woman ...turn it around , put the shoe on the other foot and he would be a cad if she were sick..get a divorce....

AnonymousAnonymousover 1 year ago

Wife is what many Commonwealth people would call a "cunt". So much for in sickness and in health. Not even a legal separation before stepping out, and continuing to do so even with reconciliation? Wow.. A totally amoral spouse.
