Interesting as always

I have the feeling that I would never have gotten to the West Indies. She does not believe me, then to hell with her....

(Aside: it is rare that someone does not believe me) Now how could she through at him that language bit if he did not understand French. He was just returning the attack.

The nature of the problem was surprising and really she should have given him a chance to reply and demanded the promised pictures. She is very lucky!

I enjoy your work and follow your stories, but this one was just not upto the mark when compared to your previous submissions. The plot was weak, a whole lot of this and that ..in 4 pages.

Every day I check for a new submission by you. I have enjoyed all that I have read. " Red wine on her yellow dress " was a joy to read. I enjoy your chacters, and your style of writing. Keep up the good work, and I will look forward to your next story.

Winterfrog...Ignore the anal rentative commenter

said that this story does not come up to your others. The person evedinatlly has a problem and you and I both know what that is. Your male character was right about standing up for himself against his wife's accusations That we both now know was the result of a bitch mother. Your husband will as always prove a model for treating a angry wife with balls( testicles) Your stories are a welcome relief from the weak, wimp, humiliation ridden stories that some people like , but I don't. Perhaps you anger the before said commenter with your testosterone which he/she/it evidentally doesn't have marriedwithballs@yahoo.com

She is still a selfish conniving bitch

She thinks she is so moralistic,Prudy and religious, but given the right mood and opportunity, she would spread her slutty legs like a street whore. She would allow the first hard cock that she found, and beg him to enter her pussy, and fill her with his adulterous filthy semen. She would then justify her slutty cheating and adultery by blaming her faithful husband for not being there for her when she needed him.He should have serious thoughts of continuing his marriage with such a shallow woman, for she will eventually find a man that she thinks is better than her husband.She is nothing more that a know it all that gives nothing and sucks his life from him. Thanks for the good story....Rich

I'm curious what the Anon poster said but.........

<p>I can't agree with the posters below that this is one of your better stories.</p>

<p> In a story, it's pretty easy to stir up "anger", "resentment", or "disappointment" at a character. It's called identifying with victim. In your story you created a victim. It was the husband.</p>

<p>In any story where you have an innocent person, or party, being victimized, you often find yourself empathizing with the character. You can often tell this from comments like "If I was the husband I would have....." or "If it was me what I would have done was......", or etc. Anytime a reader references themselves as a frame of reference, that means they are empathizing, or sympathizing, with one of the characters.</p>

<p>But here is my problem with the story, the story spent a lot of time showing:</p>

<p>-Mental abuse to the husband

<p>-Shoving a cake in his face

<p>-Ranting and yelling at him while he tried to protest his innocence and asking who was telling her lies

<p>-Flirting men she just met

<p>-Deliberately excluding him from conversations and making him feel left out

<p>-"<i><b>Intentionally</b></i> and <i><b>deliberately</b></i>" trying to make him feel left out but making him watch her and her new friends items while she went off with two other men to have fun at the beach

<p>-Excluding him at dinner while again she flirted and made him feel left out

<p>-Left him at breakfast and went out and let another man feel all over her, in front of her husband, while he put suntan oil on her, in area's he had no right to be placing his hands, as someone 'not' her husband</p>

<p>As a reader, I didn't like the wife, and in the case of the husband, I put myself in his place and felt outrage that a wife would do this. But here's the rub, how did you resolve it? Lets see:</p>

<p>-The wife's best friend convinced her that her abuse of the husband without proof was supremely stupid</p>

<p>-Then she told her husband that she abused him like this because she took another person word the husband cheated with out any proof that he did it, or verifying that he really did it</p>

<p>-And after finding out that her mother was behind the plot to ruin her marriage, said she was sorry for all the abuse to her husband, and then demanded an immediate answer as to if the husband was going to divorce her over her actions</p>

<p>-Then offered her husband one night of rules free sex to make up for all she did.</p>

<p>To me after all the public and private abuse she did, telling everyone who questioned her (current friends or new acquaintances) what a cheater her husband was, and asking some of them for help in punishing her husband, that the offer of one night of rules free sex pretty much did not balance out all the abuse and humiliation that she put him through. Doing all that, then saying "I'm sorry" and him going that's Ok, doesn't make much sense to me. He sold his dignity pretty cheap. Why get mad at all at all her antics if her just saying I'm sorry made it easy to put up with? And just saying she was "sorry" after all she did, and then giving him a couple hours of free sex doesn't really balance out everything she did to tear him down and humiliate him. It really doesn't.</p>

<p>That's really why I didn't like the story, the husband sold his dignity and self respect for everything she did to him for a night of sex. I mean someone who said everything thing she did was worthy of a divorce to turn around and decide the best way to fix what his wife did was to starting having sex? How does that make the reader feel better about what the wife did? To me I doesn't.</p>

<p>Sorry I didn't like the story though. But thanks for posting, usually your stories are the most entertaining to ready</p>

I was glad to see 'Winterfrog' has returned. This was an extremely interestingly woven tale. A real delight. To enter your world of fiction I certainly believe the wife needs to go to some counseling after being lead down the garden path so easily. It is your tale so I accept it as written :-) I only hope to see more of your efforts. I have followed you soon after you started and feel you are really getting the English idiums correctly after a rough start

Good read as usual. The wife got off too easy. Taking the word of an outsider instead of your spouse is a greater sense of betrayal than adultery itself.

Just why should be take her back

Why would he have gone back to her or accepted her after the previous treatment then her screwing around on the Island. When she went there she was still determined on a divorce, and her actions should have provoked the final decision by him that a divorce was the only thing. Her written letter to him was either finished on the Island or 2 weeks later so she had nothing, at the time to discover that he was innocent. If he had waited 2-3 weeks for her to finish her letter and her saying that she was a sorry excuse for a wife, he was a sorry excuse for a man. Unfaithfulness is not excused if the male partner is gay or anything else or animal or female or hetro. She accused him without a reason, then was unfaithful/publicly disrespectful of the wedding vows. Where was any reason for him to suddenly forgive her after the Island trip was over then the additional time for her to discover the truth. I certainly would not wait another 2 weeks for someone to present their case by saying she had decided that she was wrong. He knew that from the beginning. You made her actually unfaithful then him a wimp. Happy Valentines Day.

So many things wrong with story; BIGGEST flaw

There are so many things wrong with this idiot srory its ahrd to point them all out. It is what we have come to expect from this author without a clue.

<br></br>

But the biggest issue is this. Once the wife figures out that her Husband is innocent and sees how badly she has behaved the wife ask this question -- Twice in the story--

<br></br>

<b>WHY did I believe people I barely knew but could not consider that my husband Might be innocent? </b>

<br></br>

That question is NEVER answered! The super wimp idiot husband says "I still love ya baby"... or some shit ass answer like that but the questiuon is never answered.

<br></br>

after all it is the husband who is the Victim here NOT the wife. If he wants to give a woman with a serious charactr flaw a 2nd chance---- GREAT!!

<br></br>

but WHY?

AnonymousAnonymousabout 15 years ago
It isnt as bad as some would say.

The wife comes over as one braindead woman. The husband cant answer the question because he doesnt know what the question is. She realized that her taunts with the two African French were creating more trouble but kept going back to them to make more trouble, talk about braindead. Some question is Arab angle, dark skinned in swim suits speaking a language someone doesnt know. Arab, African, what, so a drunk woman thought they were Arabs, whats your problem with that? Or are you so politically correct you cant write your on story? Did I like the story, no. Did I like the plot, no. Would I have divorced the idiot wife, I would have based on what she did at first and the refusal to tell me what she had against me. I would have divorced her for her actions with the two Africans. I would have because of her trying to manipulate everything to suit her own purpose and needs. And no Winterfrog doesnt usually force reconciliations, and yes I consider this a forced reconciliation. I do consider my wife being fingered in the pussy by another man in public a sexual act and that alone is punishable by divorce, zero tolerance of all adultry.

Bravo# 55

Another WINTERFROG triumph!I had forgotten about spilling things on girls so you could meet them.I had believed that I was the only cad who would stoop so low just to meet a beautiful girl.Of course,I had the dry cleaner bills to prove it.Winterfrog stories are one of the special pleasures on this sight.95% of the stories in the loving wives category are written by folks that feel you have to turn your wife into a whore so that you can feel comfortable

using her sexually.I guess they feel that sex has to be dirty.Winterfrog is different in that sex is looked at as a manner for couples to become closer and make their relationships stronger.Hence,Winterforg's anger,frustration,and humiliation when someone upsets his applecart.Anger at the stupidity at losing something beautiful for the sake of a cheap thrill.Frustration derived from the knowledge that once trust is lost,it can never be re-built.Humiliation from the fact that you put so much effort, love,and sacrifice into a relationship with a women only to have it thrown aside if it were of no merit.The blatant disrepect shown by the wife with arab friends gives credence to this point.In a similar vein lies the concept that the husband is guilty until he can prove himself innocent.The sheer madness of taking a stranger's word over the husband's calls to question how much love there, actully, was in the relationship.As an aside, it is interesting to note that many of the social problems that plague American relationships occur in similar form in other cultures.BRAVO WINTERFROG !

Personnally I would not have wanted to be married

to such a very stupid woman. One has to question the mental ability of the offspring. In reality, her husband needs to sue the mother in law for harassment and mental anguish. The wife could be sued also and should have been if the divorce had gone thru. Also personally I would have taken the pics of the slut wife, that is what she was, and left the island, when home and divorced her and sent the pics to all family and friends. It isnt burn the bitch it is throw out the trash and mentally, emotionally, and physically she is trash.

Very good as usual

You did well with the evil Mother-in-law plot. I did not suspect it either though you gave a clue at the first that she did not like you at all... You are one of the best overall authors as you try to utilize all the different story lines used in literotica in your stories. The husband put with a lot but then he knew that he was innocent all along. Most of us in the real world would not have taken her shit for that long but then this is fiction and his marriage was saved!

A shame he had kids with her, her DNA isnt good

Any woman that betrays and distrusts her husband like that isnt in love with him nor is she a lowing and caring wife. He should have gone on and divorced her. They could live together as fuck buddies but to have a wife like that is insane.

SHe comes up with the things that drive the husband, she loves, away. There is rudeness. and the poor behavior to go with it. EVen if someone else was behind the 'cheating', that was topped by wife. Saved marriage, perhaps this should have failed.

Complex, good tale

Personally, I don't like it when the entire story hinges on a single unsaid sentence, it strikes me as a cheap plot ploy, but 90% or sitcoms rely on that premise, so I forgive you.

As for the constant complaints about ESL writers, give it a break! If you stopped in a cafe in Stockholm, Marseilles, or Turin, would you refuse to listen to a raconteur's tale because he spoke with an accent? Grow up!

xtchrxtchrover 9 years ago
Do I have this straight???

Let's see what this supposedly good woman did;

He walks into his home and she calls him names, throws a cake in his face, accuses him of cheating but doesn't say anything about it, doesn't believe a word he says, tries to throw him out of the house.

On 1st day of "supposedly romantic vacation", she takes up with 2 strangers, ignores and humiliates her husband, spent her time topless at beach with 2 strangers, went swimming and other things with them and left him to watch their things, Yelled at her husband because he didn't take any shit from 2 strangers. Went to restaurant and nightclub and kept humiliating and ignoring him. Goes back to beach with 2 strangers When husband packs her bag, all of a sudden she loves him.

I guess I don't know what love is because she would be gone with a goodbye, I don't like your kind of love. I don't know many Scandinavian men, but I would like to meet one to see if this is typical behavior for a man. I don't think so.

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 9 years ago
why is her behavior forgiven?

She screams, yells, won't tell him what she "knows," publicly humiliates him repeatedly, allows herself to get felt up in public and he readily and happily forgives and forgets?

Ok, it takes all kinds, but that sure isn't a sort of marriage that I could ever tolerate.

Dead

She had it right when she cut off all contact with her mother. She was dead to her. You don't keep the dead around. You mourn them, then you move on. Her mother sentenced herself to death and there should be no talk of trying to revive a corpse. Bad things happen when you play with dead things.

You need to work on your writing.

The biggest problem,as with most of the "I was told he cheated so I cheated too" genre of stories, is that they aren't at all believable. No wife is that stupid or naive. No husband would stand for it. Any decent man who hadn't cheated would ask, "who told you? Where is the proof?" And of course she doesn't have any. And what mother would pay to destroy her daughter's life? Without a jplausible scenario the story doesn't work at all.

Pappy7Pappy7about 7 years ago
Beg to differ with some who have said

that no wife would believe someone over her husband without checking into it. It happens all of the time. Seems a lack of respect will bring out that behavior on a regular basis. And some women lose respect for their husbands the minute they get married. Don't know why, just seems to work that way. And I also think that some people, not just women, have a tendency to obsess about things and the more they think about them the more they believe what they think. And anyone who has ever had their wife start ranting on them will know that it quickly goes to totally over the top and out of proportion with the actual offense. Now, that said, I wouldn't have put up with her shit for 5 minutes. After she slammed me back for the fourth or fifth time and continued to rag away she would have been out of the marriage until she straightened up. And the first time she brought other men into it, queer or not, her ass would have been sitting on the bench in divorce court. Have to agree that I usually like this author's stuff a lot more than I like this one. But it's still so well written that I continued reading in spite of what was going on in the story.

So Winterfrog, thanks for sharing your talent with us. Well written.

Stupid nasty psycho cunt of a wife

That she escalated her abuse of her husband on the holiday that was supposed to heal their marriage is an indication of her instability, just like her mom.

fifteen16fifteen16over 3 years ago
Observed

I have observed much about relationships over many years, no i am not a psychologist , just someone who keeps his eyes open. The observation i have is a negative one. Be it fights between siblings, boyfriends and girlfriends, young adults and their parents and married couples. there one almost always a common thread that runs through these problems. For an example, a wife goes crying to her sister for help because she believes hubby is being to familiar with a neighbour, or having an affair with his secretary. The first thing that comes out of her sisters mouth is, don't put up with that , throw him out, divorce him. All negative, nothing constructive, no questions like are you sure, do you have any evidence, who told you , are they telling the truth, perhaps they made a mistake in what they saw. In short the sister is making a bad situation worse. Wife goes home further inflamed, another fight , both sides digging in. Some years ago a writer here as part of the story wrote, "believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see". Not to be taken literally of course. What he was saying is this, if you are told something that is emotionally charged, don't go off half cocked. Be sure what you have been told is accurate, investigate, ask questions. Hubby leaving a restaurant holding the hand of an attractive woman may have been something different to how it appeared. A surprise invitation from his sister to have lunch to plan a party or maybe wanting to discuss a personal problem with her brother. Of course the observer has put on their own interpretation, juices it up then tells the wife. Only believe half of what you see and nothing of what you are told.

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 3 years ago
She didn't fuck anyone

So her acting like a psycho cunt is perfectly ok. Letting strangers feel her naked tits in public is fine. Publicly humiliating her husband is no issue. Taking the word of a complete stranger over her husband is ok too. A cock didn't enter her, so all the shit she pulled is swept under the carpet without question or discussion. After all, the guy has zero balls.

What garbage.

dark2donut2dark2donut2over 2 years ago

The plot idea is okay but it is poorly executed.

WF is one of few authors that know how to write stories. He usually has a plot, straightforward actions, and minimum amount of sermonizing and psychobabbling.

Unfortunately here he failed to write realistic story.

1. Wife character behaves like an idiot even after facing convincing denials from a husband as he is clearly amazed at her behavior. That has to have an impact, you cannot just go this looney.

2. The wife refuses to explain what the cheating she witnessed which is puzzling and it does not make any sense.

3. Two "Frenchmen" got involved as a "joke" between the husband and wife. This is utterly stupid unless it is really intended as cuckolding. Who wants to play with his safety and perhaps even life by playing this type of "joke" unless he is well paid. For Christ sake, the husband can kill you and that will be joke no more.

4. Husband endures three days of humiliation without blowing up.

He is obviously not a wimp based on his descriptions and he is even ready to fight. Nevertheless he is tolerating his wife's behavior? I was trying to put myself in his position and my first reaction would be to tell her after the very first day that I am flying home on the first available flight and she will be served divorce papers. If she does not want that she is free to explain her behavior immediately if she has any explanation. Tomorrow there will be no discussion of any kind and the marriage will be in the hands of lawyers.

5. Mother pays some random woman to fake the affair? Now, that is quite a lunacy in itself.

Now, I can take one or two of these follies just for the sake of a plot vehicle but altogether this is a bit too much.

2 stars.

jflindersjflindersover 2 years ago

The writer did a good job of developing the main character as someone who wouldn't tolerate senseless humiliation nor keep a psycho idiot wife, and a good job of developing the wife as nothing but a psycho idiot who heaped enough humiliation on the husband to ensure the marriage and any good feelings for her were dead and not recoverable.

The RAAC was senseless. There's no reason to forgive the wife nor any reason to want to spend the rest of one's life with her. I agree with the numbered paragraphs in dark2donut2's comment, except in paragraph 4 where he would tell the wife she had an opportunity to explain. 2 stars.

Emmelie's French-speaking lovers were not gay at all. They fucked her in the sea, pushing aside her bikini panties and in a dance club, taking turns with her on the street in a secluded alley, while Robin was carried away by an Englishwoman and did not pay attention to his wife. Later, she will have a swarthy croaking baby, which is very atypical for a small Finnish town. But after Finland's accession to NATO and the deployment of an American contingent of troops in the country, this will soon cease to be outlandish. Latinos and African Americans will tint the Finnish snowball brown.

Quite disappointing for a Winterfrog story.

AnonymousAnonymous2 months ago

The worst thing in my mind now was how easy it would have been for me to find out the truth the day after Marianne's visit. Several times I asked myself, "Why in the hell did I believe Marianne more than Robin?"

===> because she is immature and stupid. That whole spiele about talking out their problems early in their courtship and.marriage, wasn't very effective was it? The two perspectives were interesting. From thus husband's side it looked egregious and damning. From her aide.it was like a screwed version of an LW I love Lucy plot, where everything the wife tries goes wrong or gets out of control. Forgivable? Yeah probably provided everything came out, but the reconciliation was way too fast.

Yes she realizes she got played by her friend Marianne (not a stranger as some commenters allege below) who was paid to do an ambush on her marriage by her mother, who didn't even like their kids (wtf?). As an aside, how that doesn't lead to a divorce of her parents seems unrealistic, especially given she doesn't like her grandkids. Huh?

But seriously the reconciliation was way to teitr and rapid given the horribly convoluted backfire of her "revenge" and her idiocy. On the flip side at least she didn't do the stupid "tie the husband to the chair and screw another guy in their bedroom" trope. So while she is an immature, dumb bitch, who didn't trust her husband, her games while humiliating were in hindsight not nearly as bad as if Pierre had been straight and he had seduced her. But then her husband would be in jail after finding out their fling. Totally different story.

On a side note, if she was convinced he cheated, why go on a vacation with her husband, and then why all the stupid games with the goal of forgiving him, though that kept getting delayed. Wouldn't she go to a lawyer for at least a separation? An island vacation with someone you think cheated on you is never a good idea.

My biggest detraction, was the thinly veiled (was it even veiled) racism that just permeated so many scenes on pages 2 and 3. That was stomach churning. It never came right out and blew the barn door off, but it was so pervasive as to be unsettling. Not just what the husband said, or Tony and Elise, but what other Scandinavian tourists said. Comments like "he isn't that dark"? Wtf?

As such that really took this WF story down a big notch imho.

Had not they agreed at the beginning of the marriage to talk things through when there was a problem?
