Gee, JPB, are you thinking of making a New Years Resolution? I like most of your stories but I really like ones where the husband gets some retribution on his betrayers. Keep it up, Please........
Really fast paced story, interesting and a happy ending.
Thanks Bob for the good story
Interesting and decided protagonists. The woman was as interesting as the husband... Thanks, JPB
like the true value of Sandi's co-workers free advice was worth every penny she paid.
Good story Bob, of course I expected no less. The meticulous approach to the problem by the protagonist and the manner in which he executed it was priceless. Justification for his actions was well proven and the result of those actions will serve him well in moving on with his life free of any guilt on his part.
he could get a divorce for a few hundred dollars as she was a convicted felony.
It was interesting to find out who had sent the e-mail, and how that played out.
Great tension, taut plot, and two interesting characters. Oh and a terrific ending veering so dramatically!
You have a great way to weave a story into a very good and captivating story. I really enjoy reading your stories. Keep on writing.
Thanks Bob but wouldn't a divorce while she is in prison make more sense than having to fight for one when she gets out? Not to mention the benefits she would be entitled to as his wife when she is freed.
She got redeemed a little bit and he wasn't forced to take her back. Thanks for sharing the story.
Rob found his wife was cheating, investigated the situation and told his cheating wife it was over. It's just icing on the cake that she killed her lover and now has 20 years to think of what she lost for betraying her husband
Lesson learned. Don't cheat on your spouse.
Consequences abound.
One of your few non-wimp efforts - this story finally has a male character that does not wimp out and actually the slut wife was almost "like-able" due to her insane behavior of killing the other brainless dick. Wish there were more good revenge stories out there.
What a mistake! Why did not he divorce her? So less murder would have been and more room for true criminals in prisons.
Why the good attorney?
Divorce ever occur?
If the attorney, why never visit?
Etc...
This has too many broken / unfinished threads.
Just what a cheating whore slut skank cunt wife deserves. It warms my heart her being in prison.
HA
Either love her and be with her or dump her ass. Don't get a good attorney and not divorce. WIMP
But that isn't a problem with Bob...it's a problem with people.
A man can hate and love his wife at the same time. He can want her to be the biggest slut in the world (for him) and want every man to want her...but woe is her if anyone pays one smidgeon more attention than he thinks is warrented.
He wants to divorce her, but he doesn't hate her. He doesn't wish her ill and he feels she's been badly used by Jason. So...she's being punished but he isn't making it worse.
I liked it and I didn't. See how that works?
it would cost almost nothing for a divorce. This guys an idiot as is his lawyer if he doesn't know that.
the good thing was his vasectomy
no more like him is a positive.
Nobody gets that tired.
Poor girl was unfortunate to pick two assholes in a row.
I hope the child got good stepparents! (I know this story is fantasy so my wish is fantasy too....)
a donkey's uncle. I know this comment comes a little late, and JPB isn't likely to read it, but I have a thought about this ending. Little Miss Sandy really did love her husband; her decision to take a gun to her bed buddy was proof of that.
Now our protagonist had an interesting choice. Since he'd decided not to go for a divorce, and since he'd hired her a good lawyer why didn't he go visit her in prison? I mean it sounds like he's still not sure of himself.
See here, for one, any visits he made would have only added to her guilt and shame. Second, ten or twelve years is a long time; who knows, he might decide to be there when she gets out. She'd have had a lot of time to reflect on what she's done; regardless she'll come out a changed person. He wins regardless since she's not going anywhere.
He cares about her too much to let her go down without a defense, but he still wants her out of his life. It's a case of don't hate her, maybe even still love her, but maintaining a relationship keeps dredging up too much pain and anger to live with. So he writes a check to a defense attorney, which is the best that he can for her without actually having to see or talk to her.

Cheaters do not "love" anyone. They have selfish desires, they use the word "love" but in fact they do not love. They do not even love themselves. Love means to care for someone. If you care for someone you do not lie to them, cheat on them, and destroy what they have worked for. In this story not only did she do this to her husband, she also did this to herself. She lied to herself to justify her cheating, she cheated on herself by throwing away her marriage and her future and she destroyed what she had worked for in the past 10 years. To cap it off, she shot her lover and cheated herself out of her freedom for 10-20 years. She didn't love herself, how could anyone expect her to love anyone else?
Does Jason The Bull qualify for the Darwin Award for removing himself from the gene pool (by unintended proxy, but nonetheless!)
Whose kid WAS it? Jason was only porking Sweetie about half as much as Hubby by that time (and it was never much more than twice as much!). So it is more likely it was Hubby's baby than Jason's. Not sure that makes a huge difference, but why would she NOT tell Hubby she was pregnant? In the story, Sweetie and Jason assume it is Jason's, but that seems to be a poor assumption.
Since he wouldn't spring for an easy divorce, in addition to her still being entitled to his support upon release, the ADOPTION had an unmentioned wrinkle. Hubby was married to Mommy at delivery. Hubby is, by fiat, DADDY. He is also likely to really be Daddy, but regardless, by law he IS Daddy (until/unless a Court decision might absolve him of that - and that would most likely require DNA verification!). Hubby would, therefore, ALSO have to sign-off on adoption!

Hubby had a vasectomy, so the baby was not his.
The two of them did not want children, or the bother of birth control.
The paperwork on the adoption would not take that into account though.
Why doesn't he get a divorce while she is in prison is a good question, she wouldn't be able to fight it and he clearly is not taking her back.
In some states, a baby born during a marriage is "assumed" to be the child of the husband, but definitive knowledge and DNA testing at birth is likely to trump any default assumption if the husband contests paternity. And even if that isn't the case, is there anyone who thinks Rob would NOT sign off on an adoption if that was required for him to be rid of Sandi's little bastard? It's so obvious it wouldn't be worth the words to put it into the story.
What I don't understand is why a woman that was traumatized by her first love, cheated her husband so easily...
Finally someone articulates the truth that cheaters DO NOT love anyone including themselves. It is not possible to love someone and betray them, lie to them and give yourself to someone else behind that persons back. It is not possible to love yourself and risk everything in your life for illicit sex. Cheaters only bring destruction upon themselves and everyone who does love them. Insanity to even think you can do both. Of course in real life I have never known a cheater who begged for forgiveness or even acknowledged fault. I think that is an author's fairytale.
@ Happydoodle A family with two young kids and the wife cheats on her husband. The wife has low level salary job or she has not job. The husband has potential for future carrier success (after divorce). She will use the only 1 accidental cheating I am not serial cheater and I will not cheat in the future tale..................

Hard to believe that she was so fucking stupid. When that slut makes a mistake it's a doozy. She's where she belongs.
Not too many woman are that cold blooded. You would have thought she would have gotten an abortion and tried to get the Court to order some counseling before she gave up and killed Jason. Maybe a DNA test? What if it was Rob's kid? So many questions. And he did love her. He paid for her lawyer. So maybe after the initial shock wore off maybe he forgives her. We'll never know.
Have you people not read this story.he had a vasectomy when they were first married.
Rough story about a crazy bitch. I have known a few crazy women, if they are pretty it is amazing how much crazy you can overlook. No one that cheats and comes up with a line of shit like Sandi is anything but crazy.
He should of divorced her wether she was in prison or not...only seems right to punish her a little bit more.........🤓
this was totally BTB. But of course it really wasn't. It also wasn't a mistake on Sandi's part either. She knew exactly what she was doing and since she was doing both men several times a week, but hubby at night, she was giving him sloppy seconds on Tuesdays and Thursdays or whatever days she was whoring around in the afternoon on. No love there, no respect there and every chance in the world she could pass on something really nasty to her husband. You know if she lives in Bob's world she thought it was okay to leave a little of the whipped cream in the hole for hubby to slurp out for her secret enjoyment. So, herpes at both ends. Hunh.
But actually rather good, I have to say I enjoyed this one.
Probably because I have an ex wife from some 40 years back who knows some guys that could use a bullet or two.
Like about two dozen of them...*LOL**
Which of course is WHY she is.. the Ex-wife.
Never touched her or them for real, instead I wrote some stories where she has died in many many ways. Some of them, too.
Weird that it helps, isn't it?
Thanks,
MGM
Wow, could we fit in any more LW cliches?
"It just happened" "You were so busy and I was neglected" "They convinced me you were cheating" "The cheating was exciting and I was addicted".
She HAD to know from when they were first dating, when he cooled things off when he just THOUGHT she was fucking others, that he's not going to forgive all out cheating!
That expression may have made sense at some point in time. But anymore aren't we all "used goods" by the time we marry?
Infidelity is the problem, not that someone is "used". Words express ideas, and they do matter.
Viable for me that is . Sandi had the intensity to kill a man for thwarting her love and marriage with narrator, so requisite passion was there. The feeling was channeled badly ala ' Separate Vacations '. That's what prompts me to have wistful feeling and sense of unfinished business for the conclusion.
Excellent writing by JPB because I know the husband can't be faulted for his choice and yet I sigh a little. It's the cognitive dissonance only top authors induce.
Full marks * * * * *
its a choice and puts one into a situation, TK U MLJ LV NV
Man I hate a cheating skank, especially one who takes you for granted while you slave away to take care of her. To be that selfish is simply inexcusable which makes it so pleasant to see the way this one went down. (No pun intended) Our hero maintains his integrity and the whore shows just what she truly is. She just couldn't stop fucking around even after she gets proof that the husband is faithful. I just love the total symmetry of this story. Everyone got just what they deserved. Almost the perfect BTB.
To think the bitch sat there full of some other guys baby, not even being able to lie and say it was the husbands and still thinks there might be a chance for their marriage? Obviously this is fantasy.
Remember the good times, at least she handled the situation as well as she could.
I seem to remember something along these lines happening before. I can’t remember where I saw it though.
She planned to keep on cheating.
Quibble point...
...no way she tells lover she is pregnant, she would just have abortion
YOU GUY YOU, THE PATHETIC CUCK SHITTY STORIES YOU WRITE . THE NANCY OF CUCK STORIES WITH A JUDEO CHRISTIAN THEME. FUCKIN WEAK JEASU SHIT.
Wow, yet another new twist! Thank you!
That's all right my child, I've heard the word before.
OR That's all right, I've heard the word before.
Please have your ministers drop that flowery language. The "my child" makes him sound insincere and the sentence flows better without it. Also, the "my child" is a little discordant when discussing the word "fuck".
Great story. Didn't guess where it was going, and managed a little eroticism, too.
Here is the telltale statement: "Those late nights and long weekends took a toll on my home life. Sandi was constantly irritable over my lack of attention to her and our love life suffered." An adult would appreciate what he was trying to do and support him. She never got past being a party girl and was never marriage material.
One of the better stories from.Bob. Why stay married while she is in prison.
She didn't see the need to end her illicit relationship after Rob cut back on his hours and resumed more regular relations with her so why didn't he divorce her while she was in jail? It was the perfect opportunity.
That was his big mistake. He didn't take time to get to know her adequately. Marriage is 50 years. He could spend 1 being sure.
Just Look at them, as Long as it ends with The bitch burned they love it!!! This nonsense? OMG
Another crap story about an absent husband choosing work over his wife, then getting the expected results.
A better ending would be JPB turning the gun on himself and sparing us anymore of this crap.
Work chosen as wife and then get upset
But prison is a lonely place.
Even though you will not get back together you should visit her in jail.
You loved her enough to marry her so be a friend and visit you fuck.
Didn't like the ending but, still a good story. You have a lot of readers named anonymous who really dislike you. I get tired of reading their venomous comments. I think you should consider refusing anonymous comments. 4*
Again, another cheating bitch in jail and the lover dead. What else could you ask for in a story?
He should have gone to visit her. Who else does she have? Life is not black and white, and people need to have a heart. Five stars. ~~JB
I feel a bit sorry for Jason, just a tiny bit.
After having an affair for 6 months plus with Sandi he would be thinking she couldn't love Rob much and Jason probably did love Sandi.
Finding out she was having his child made him think they could be a family if she wasn't with Rob.
That is one of the pitfalls of getting involved with someone who is married.
He should have thought of the fact that she played up on Rob, if he had managed to get her away from Rob, what would stop her cheating on him, along the way.
Sometimes when you play, you have to pay, and he paid big time.
So-so. This persistent idea about women not being able to control their desire is permanently planted in the minds of Incel lunatics. People without real or extensive knowledge of women. They have to have something to give them rationalization why they are not able to connect with any woman. If a woman cheats on a regular basis she is not going to try to reconcile and as far as I know, there is no record of any woman that killed her lover just because she was rejected by her husband, that is a pipe dream of BTB writers that just does not happen.
Very good story. However, the reasons for cheating, especially continuing the cheat, is almost absurd. She didn't know he's working for them all those hours? She couldn't tear herself away because, in reality, she didn't want to. Even when Rob was home & having a more normal life. And THAT might be the thing that really doomed her.
Having said that, I find it absurd that he didn't file for divorce but let her live in the same house albeit different bedrooms. If he goes that way, perhaps he should try some sort of reconciliation with her- after a long while & perhaps some talking. Having given her that defense attn'y, he should visit her in jail. That, plus that housing situation, is almost like doing polar opposites. Insofar as Jason's shooting, I think it's a bit over the top; Sandi was an active participant in their affair. She said she loved the illicitness of fucking Jason without her husband knowing. That stops any of her claims that Jason ruined her marriage; she did, or at least helped.
Finally, to "dark2donut2", while I generally like the comments you make, I take exception to yours. There's plenty of crimes made from passion: rejected lover, unwanted spouse, cheating, name it.
What bothered me, is her cheating in the first place. It didn't fit her character and it seemed forced into the story. She was a good wife, and I don't see how some random coworkers could manipulate her mind like they did. She was built up as a strong woman early in the story, and though I knew by reading the title blurb that she would do something wrong, I was wondering early on how you were planning on convincing the reader. I wasn't convinced.
It's not like she's on disability and needs his insurance or some nonsense. He makes plenty of money after his promotion. It's a slam dunk with her in prison for killing someone. How expensive can a lawyer be? Silly ending.
Well done, but, really, what healthy young guy is going to go get a vasectomy? This seems to be a common LW trope, but IRL almost nobody would do that. I do agree that "Sandi" seemed to undergo a personality change during the story. Still, there was enough ambiguity in who she was to make the story plausible. In essence, she turned out to be a female "Walter".
I've got to thoroughly agree with Sarahwithlove; Sandi's built as a strong woman in the beginning, coming from a situation with Walter, so HOW could she be suddenly be weak enough to be led to believe her husband's cheating on her? Why didn't she discuss the lacking of sexual relationship with the man who counted, her husband? Even when Rob's hours became more normal & love returned, she continued, saying the illicitness & him not finding out were the listed reasons, she continued. Hardly the work of the strong woman she was described as in the beginning, including her prior mistake with the man prior to Rob. The story is inconsistent in this area, which's the main point of the story.
I read it again and it's still a great story. It really ends with a bang! Six of them, actually.
Great story, but like all stories of this type the are no winners, only losers, sad really
Sorry Helen, it isn't just stories that end like that. It's sad really but you were right, it is a great story. Thanks Bob.
somewhere east of Omaha
the only thing you should of done was make both of them have a snip, they both didn't want kids, fair enough because they 'married' only 1 of them could be enough, but it's been proven that the snip doesn't always work (if it isn't done correctly) so wouldn't it be easier for her to get the tie as well to make things 100% and also fair.
Great story, I agree with the last 2 comments, no one wins.
Really sad, screwed up, pathetic story that is so tragic and totally unnecessary.
Close mouth, open ears, and actually listen.
Then close ears, open mouth, and share your hopes, needs, desires, wants and wishes directly from your heart to the one you love.
Then close mouth, open ears, and listen carefully while watching your loved ones eyes and body language. Remember that eyes are the window to the heart!
Reach out and touch, and hold, and caress, and communicate with each other.
I had that opportunity and need once, and never took it. To late. Way too late. Oh, the pain and suffering and loneliness that it caused for two hearts in love - once!
I often avoid JPB stories and had forgotten why and read this story. It reminded me and while the situation isn't as clear as in many cases, it is hard to feel sympathy when he should have known better than to marry the woman in the first place.
JPB hit another homer. Very good tale with interesting characters, and nicely paced story. LP
Very interesting story. Well done and believable. I find it amazing how women can do all this shit and not know why they did it.
JPB almost at his best. My only complaint is that the ending was rushed and rather abrupt but a solid 5 stars all the same.
