All Comments on 'An Unexpected Reaction'

This is the 2nd time I have read this and still remains a really decent story and of course the question still remains what kind of damn reaction was she expecting when he caught her cheating

The hope their is one more chance.

What JoeBetterBNice said

I really enjoyed this story, both times I read it. So good I read it again several months after my first reading. Interesting plotline, likeable characters, good dialogue, this one had it all.

Two stories - the first a 3.5, the second a 6.0 - I gave the whole thing a 5 even though the last "ball squeezing" bit was a serious negative and shouldn't have been included.

like you said, really should have been two stories. one a divorce tinged story, the second a man rebuilding himself and finding love in the romance category. both halves were enjoyable

For me the story is a gem I learned many things I experienced emotion in a manner therapeutic healing I am grateful to have read it. Thank you

Really enjoyed the story, I think it is better being just one complete story. There was strong feeling of emotions the first part, Jace was betrayed by everyone, Becky and friends……. The 2nd half was Jace finding himself and Amanda both were so damaged. I thought it was funny with adding Celeste to the story “mother/sister, sister / daughter, father / sister” it is the South Lol…… The ending I like Amanda telling Race she was pregnant in front of Becky. I think it was the perfect time. Could of left out the ball squeezing out and the threatening Amanda……

Thanks for writing! 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

To the anon that posted 20 days ago and you stayed as I said in my last comment women can be stupid so can men as your comment just made clear the fact you posted as anon says you don't want anyone knowing your name cause you like being a cuck I would have filed for divorce right away under adultery made sure the hearing was public and the media was there even in a no fault state you can still come out on top then I would have demanded partinty test done on all kids cause you can bet your ass I'm not going to pay for a child that is not mine cause my wife decided I wasn't satisfying her anymore in bed I don't have problems with raising a child that isn't mine if my wife had her before we was together but her having another mans kid while married to me and then trying to pass it off as mine not going to happen if you have a dick and balls be a fucking man and have some pride not a little cuck bitch

Great story, the ending with the ball squeezing didnt think it fit with the way Jace and Amanda interacted with each other. but didn't stopped me from the ending.

He turned his ex down flat, the ball squeezing makes her look ridiculous, and so does telling the love of your life that he’s going to be a father just to rub it in his ex’s face. Way to make what should be something special into just a spiteful snark at a woman he just thoroughly rejected with class.

I don’t like perfect ‘Mary Sue’ characters, but I end up really disliking Amanda on the last page of this story.

Long but still a good read. Loved it to the end both stories – Her cheating and BTB and then his transformation when he met a good woman! 5 -Stars!

What did she exactly expect him to do when he found out she cheated on him damn women in these stories can be fucking stupid I admit so can some of the men

Rereading. Overall a 5 but there are two stories here. The first is a 3.5 or 4.0. The second is a 6 with the exception of the very last bit - the ball squeezing routine is a serious negative. Complete crap. And, unless she wants Jace to stop working there is no way he can guarantee he'll never end up meeting "that woman" at another industry conference.

Second time reading it. Loved the second part of it and the fiery loyalty of Amanda, only wish we all had partners with that quality.

Great story. I lived that. But I stayed. We had three kids. Middle one some other biological dad. Found an old HR folder from a bank she worked for saying she was criticized for having an affair with her boss. I confronted her, she said she was sorry I found out but she couldn’t get enough sex and loved being dominated.

I loved it, and gave it 5 big stars. This was my 2nd time reading it, as I needed a feel good story to read, that was kind of long, but not overly long and this one fits the bill nicely. It hits all of the check marks too, including a love story between him and Amanda. Sure he had one with his first wife, but it ended badly, He really should have called it quits the first time Becky cheated on him, but then he might not have met Amanda and restarted his life.

I often think of all of the mistakes I made when I was younger that led me to my wife of 43 years, and this story kind of reminds me of some of them (brings back good memories). Thank You for sharing it with us Q, I love it.

Overall a good read and well done by the author.

I did not rate stars for it however, as while milder than many in this genre, it falls into locking on the main male character's view as the only right way and they are the victim. With undercurrents of devaluing women as emotional, illogical, troublesome etc.

Jace does seem at the core a decent guy but needs to see his own lack of emotional maturity, bad choices (picking a partner with needs he is not well suited to meet; they speak different love languages) and only seeing his way as THE right way and needing to control. That is not too say other's misbehaviors are excused, however he played a major role in things developing the way they did. He wasn't just a passive innocent victim. Additionally he almost lost Amanda at the beginning of their relationship with his stunted ability to communicate and understand his own emotions and hers. Additionally, rather than leading through inspiration and first communication, especially at the beginning with Amanda, he several times just falls back on being controlling (which is weak and immature). It would have been great to see him recognize these things and grow.

Read it again and think that this is one of your best!

se4cond time i read it . still a damn good story .

Had to read it again, it is one of my favorite stories. I need to learn how to put in my favorites.

Just reread your story. Loved it the first time and enjoyed it just as much this time. Great to read a story with a positive ending.

Something about this story that always brings me back to it; it's one of the best stories on this site, by arguably the best writer on this site. Three of the five best stories I've read were written by you.

One of the best I’ve read on Lit.

Still one of the best stories on here I've read this more than once and it still entertains me. Bad shit happens in life and so does good shit. Sometimes we have to go through the bad to find the good. If these were real people I would hope one day they have a light bulb moment and realise how ugly those "friends" are inside. Probably not but one can hope. BardnotBard

Great story. I loved it. 5 stars.

It was a great story

Fine! Also have read this @ 5 times, so will add to my very short list of favorites.

I must have read this story six times... Why do I still tear up at all "those" same familiar places? It's a wonderful tale. I wonder if I'll be commentator 1000?

2 for 2, but these are the only ones I’ve read so far, one more and I’m going to petition Literotica to add a few more stars. Wish I could think of something better than Thank You but it’s the best I have for now.

Either this or "The Unicorn" is the best story I've ever read on this site

beautiful!

Aside from the Allan-Cyn-Becky drama, well deserved 5*

Stupid cuck called the third lawyer on the list instead of the shark!! He is a cuck second time round!! Tge bitches Cin and Becky knew how to play him

Wow! what a superb story. I couldn't stop reading once I started. Yes there are a lot of typos and other errors but they don't detract from the captivating plot. The tasering cop scene was a bit silly but hey the rest was excellent. Well done!.

Great story. All that needs to be said.

creo que esta excelente comedia mantiene el 3er lugar, en toda literotica, en cuanto a la cantidad de cliches jajaaj

una fantasía para calmar corazones jajaja

Stunningly beautiful story. Thank you.

Well written. Really enjoyed it.

The absolute best story I have ever read in Literotica. Thank you so much!!!!

Excellent CR

Definitely a great read and I have several times

She cheated on him while they were dating. Why was he surprised?

This is my second time reading. Very well wriiten and good story. I didn't like the last little bit where Amanda demanded that Jace never be in the same room with his ex and hated when she grabbed his balls. Not a good way to end the story.

Slightly creepy, JC behaves like a little kid, failed to learn from his first mistake and then after having a temper tantrum because he can't keep his wife faithful he goes off and grooms a homeless teenager. The fact that he's in a profession well known for those with incredibly low moral standards isn't missed and make his moral high horsing all the more ironic.

A well written story, it kept me engaged till the end even though I didn't find Jace sympathetic. I felt for him for sure but a guy with anger issues 'spanking' a traumatized woman because she pissed him off and the way he dealt with Celeste just felt wrong to me. Great that Aida showed up but her marriage also ended because of cheating..there are more reasons for a marriage to end. Becky resurfacing and Amanda feeling threatened enough to squeeze his balls kind of diminished the strenght of their relationship.

I loved the bar and the patrons, glad Jace found real friends, the hospital scene was powerful I really felt it and sighed from relief when the outcome was positive. Thanks for sharing.

Great read and kept me up until 2 am to finish.👏🏻👍🏻. Could’ve been in the romance category as well. Keep writing⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another great story and as it turned out, two stories for the price of one. And the story got almost to 1000 comments. That tells me a lot of people loved the story. Good on ya!

Just a great story that I have read many times and still enjoy the quality of the read

The last part messed up the story. It was obvious the threat was not needed, and would tend to hurt their relationship for years to come. You should have found a better ending than showing her doubting everything he had said and done since they met. The rest of the story gets a 5, but that last part knocks it down to just above a 4.

Fantastic story!

i will wear your balls for earrings FUNNY

beer cheers tears and motorcycles LOVED IT

Always has to be the "look how better I'm doing than you" bit, this time with the added I'd drop my present partner for you in a flash, which would make you think she hadn't learnt a thing throughout all those years. Yeah I know it makes a certain kind of reader feel good as it vicariously achieves what they never managed to in their own personal cuckolding, but really ... the MC moved on, it really doesn't matter what happened to his previous wife because if it did it's presence in his everyday consciousness would have detracted from his present life ... so when people say forgive and forget, and some people say I'll never forget, those are the people that have allowed someone else to live rent free in their mind, those are the people who are living the pain everyday because they can't move on and forget the unimportant part of their life, the past.

I am 83 years old and have been riding Harleys for 67 years , I just loved this story and yes some tears came.

Oh my loard. Tears and cheers. I loved this stories. For a 69 year old man I'm not a shame to say I had lots of tears on my cheeks. Thank you

Robert

Loved it, thanks!

That was a good story.

Two stories here. The first is a 4 (maybe a 3.5) and the second is a 6 - hence my overall rating of 5.

But the last piece detracts from the story - and from a practical point of view it's impossible for Jace to avoid Becky in the future (that is unless he wants to completely stop attending industry events)

The best story of read here since the beginning of reading all your stuff. Thank you for the hours of enjoyment.

Loved it as you can see by my 5 star vote. You grabbed my attention and held it from beginning to end. All the characters depicted seemed very real to me, like people I would expect to meet in real life, so real, in fact, I shared a lot of the emotions they felt. I'm looking forward to enjoying more of your stories. Keep up the the great work and thank you.

Good story. I personally wished, that Becky got more of her comeuppance. When they met, she should have look old beyond her years and was physically looked terrible. All of Becky's boyfriends or husbands cheated on her. The author was a bit too kind in that situation, but some people are more forgiving then I could be for what a cheating wife did to me.

A very, very good story. I hate the sheep mentality that so many women fall into...especially when their bad sheep. Becky is a cunt.

Absolutely first class writing. My guess is you have a fair amount of background in the ad agency biz. And sadly, far too much experience with infidelity.

One major reason I found your story captivating was because of your authority as an author. Either you have the ability to imagine the innerworkings of the lives of your characters, or as I stated earlier, you have first-hand experience, or more likely, you have both!

I look forward to reading your future literary contributions.

Jace is really a dumb asshole. She lied and her friend business partner's wife keeps covering for her yet he still marries the whore. He is a dumb cuck

Well written. Really enjoyed it!

I really loved this story!! Great job!

color lines was unnecessarily racist bs

Simply one of the best stories on here, if I could give it a 10 I would⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I hate this story with a passion.

Oh, don't get me wrong. It well written. And I congratulate the author. It's a testimony to his skills that I feel so much for this story.

I dislike the MC though.

He should never have gotten back to her in the initial stages. That's what you get for not listening to your gut.

Everything that happened after he deserves, 10 times over.

It's good the story ended with him in a good place. I won't dispute that.

I still dislike him very very much.

A really good story, I loved watching the character development. I think it could be successful beyond Literotica. Please don't stop writing.

One of your best stories but I got a little confused about Celeste's age, present and when Amanda last saw her. "Jujudailan" (1 mo. ago) must have read a totally different story or he likes to make really stupid comments

Nuevamente 5 estrellas

Me encanta esta fantasía.

I love stories with happy endings!

A very well written story I never hesitate to come back to. I say that as a successful professional writer of long standing.

I really enjoyed this excellent story. I am amazed at how critical some readers are of free stories.

I don't know what he expected from her after what he saw in the initial phase of their relationship.

Stupid is as stupid does I guess...

@jujudailian— on a website full of the dumbest comments ever, yours takes the first place stupid prize. What are you, Becky’s schmo dad? Seriously dude?

He really didn't deserve Amanda for what he did to Becky.

I've read this before, and it still gets me going. It is so close. thank you.

As others have said, two stories here. The first is a 3.5 and the second a 6.

And I see an earlier comment where someone pointed out the "ball squeezing" bit was not only unnecessary and out of character but it also detracted from the story.

I have read this story many times and I never get sick of it. Thank you.

Even after 7 reads, this is still one of your best!

Thanks L

The huge mistake in this story I saw was Aida's husband told her to tell Jace about Becky cheating then he supposedly cheats on her later? Nope that.does not work in the story for the side character.

Otherwise its a nice story cheesy in a lot of places but still decent.

A fun story to read. Thank you.

why is it that women are so good w/ 20/20 hindsight? They ruin their marriages by taking their men for granted, expecting no push back when their cheating is exposed(blame the democraps and feminazis for setting up this expectation that noone [especially women]are responsible for their actions [except white males] so forgive and forget), then realize after the fact that what they had was pretty special, she made a mistake and you really are my soulmate, so forgive and forget? Most of that sex areentitled, arrogantly dumb and mostly fairly nasty selfish bitches. rk

Troisième fois que je relis cette histoire et je suis toujours autant emballé. Merveilleux. Continuer dans ce genre.

I absolutely loved this story, so much so, that I was sorry when it ended.

One of the best, truly believable and well told. Congratulations and I look forward to your next one.

I enjoyed your story. I thought it was well written and it held my interest. Anyone with above average intelligence could understand that the first part of your story was the aftermath of the affair and then you slipped back in time to explain the relationship.

You're close in your closing comment. However, rather than two installments, you should have split it into two stories. The second story, except for the rambling at the end trying to tie it back to the first story, is a pretty good romance story. I think it would have done well in that category on it's own.

Unfortunately, the first story is the problem. Your first mistake was sticking a random scene from the middle of the story on the front. Your second mistake was not making it immediately clear that you were doing a time jump back to the actual start of the story. I could see some interesting potential story lines with his next girlfriend having the same name as his ex-wife, but I wasn't exactly happy with the choice. Then I realized you were just too lazy to explain that you were jumping back to before she was his wife rather than continuing the story post-divorce. If that wasn't bad enough, the story itself kind of sucked. Putting the opening scene in the proper place would have helped, but it wouldn't have saved it. All-in-all, the first story is a subpar but not horrible entry that is pretty common in the LW category.

Wow. That was pretty amazing.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I'm sure it hit home to those that read it. Continue the good work.

👌

I’m an avid reader of books and stories. I can’t speak for everyone, but in my opinion this is not only the best story I’ve ever read from Literotica, but the best one I’ve ever read period. Thank you for your penmanship.

Great story Becky got what s

I've read this four times and have loved it every time. Always a 5

Brilliant, very, very well done.

Glad I'm not the only one who loves this story, many reads, love it more every time.

Without question absolutely one of the best, if not actually the best story on Literotica. IMHO
