All Comments on 'Best Served Cold'

Great story although it was slightly spoiled by the silliness of the photo shopped revenge sex pictures at the end. This sort of thing has the potential to backfire badly on a person who pulls such a stunt. As waif commented below it was also highly unwise of the MC to out himself to the jailbird as the man responsible for putting him behind bars and spilling the beans to Mrs jailbird about his duplicitous lifestyle. Apart from those gripes I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Nice easy read, not intense, but pleasant and I enjoyed the dialogue.

Thank you

A good story, but three things bothered me about it. First, you NEVER tell the guy you set him up if there is a chance he will get out of prison and hunt you (and your family) down. Second the visiting room in prison is monitored and there is no expectation of privacy unless you are meeting your lawyer. You definitely do not confess to the guy you put in prison that you committed several felonies to entrap him. Last, you don't pose for incriminating adulterous sex photos with your mark's wife behind your new wife's back. The saying that revenge is a dish best served cold, means that you accept that you might end up being the only person who knows about it.

A good, honest look at a failed marriage caused by marrying too early due to teen pregnancy. Don't get me wrong, sometimes it works, sometimes those early marriages are the ones that survive the test of time, but most of the time they simple fizzle out as people grow up. Does this story lack the emotional hammerblow of a good BTB or RAAC? Yes, but thats not a bad thing. BTB and RAAC have their moments, but sometimes a honest story with a realistic plot and ending is just what you need to remind yourself that just because things are bad, doesnt mean they always will be. 5*

Not enough BBQ.

...fairly well written though missing a proofreader/editor.

...fairly interesting, on a par with a Hallmark Christmas movie.

...fairly (barely) measurable on the BTB scale (2.0 pick-axes?).

...fairly entertaining and mucho appreciated, S-dip.

Keep 'em comin'!

Well-written with good plot and character development. Thanks for a fun read!

Love the story great work

Because she was still being punished on a regular basis just by seeing me with Sophie. That's the ONLY reason he was able to move on so quickly, that and his careful planning

A few holes in the story but apart from that it’s easy reading. Not too detailed and not too taxing on the brain.

The end seemed out of sort. From a different tail.

LOVE slap-hapy-papy #9

I think he handled it perfectly 5*

Coulda been better. was way too easy on tne Slut. And BS for taking any blame for the destruction of their marriage. As written, it was ALL on her.

A story of thee females..Allan(a), Amy and Sophie…

With Claire and Dans wife also…

Should it not have been in Lesbians section???

I agree with Overctical, a brilliant little piece of escapism literature.

Very nice work. It was good to see ‘Dan’ get what he so rightly deserved. Yeah, a truly happy ending.

5⭐️s.

He found out late but didn't tell wife until he gets everything he wants. Selfish. Tell her before he sends evidence so she can get everything she deserves.

Well written and paced. British or Aussie? No matter really. 5 stars. DMW

Well done and an enjoyable read

hey Anonymous from 2 months ago "would you like to see what Lt. looks like"?

Get married young all the time and survive together a shame she was so selfish and conceded.

if woman is devoted, no one can seduce them

Very clever plot and very coldly executed. As usual the "good guys" come out smelling like roses and the "baddies" have all sorts of evil befall them. I guess that's the way it should be in fantasyland, but not the way it usually happens in the real world. Maybe that's why we read the stories in this Literotica Fantasyland because we dread reading about the real world in the newspapers (for those who still read newspapers) or in the flood of news we get online and on the internet. Between the managed news of the "mainstream media" and the highly biased "social media" the world has turned to shit and escapism has taken on new meaning. I voted 4* for this fine piece of escapism.

Pretty good. But a woman of 29 being seduced? Bit much to believe, she just wanted to fuck around. She was as guilty as Dan and really deserved no future with her daughters, who she abandoned.

Well i thought it was a lovely story and you tell it so well.

I loved your story true revenge

Is it safe to say that adultery is an occupational hazard in the IT industry? I ask because everyone who gets cheated on seems to be a cyber ninja. Coincidence?

A story that can evoke strong emotional reactions from sadness to the highest joy and a the same time teaches so many life lessons is to be treasured. 5/5

Great, I liked the forgiveness, he was right, bitterness would have eventually impacted on his new marriage, as it rots the soul, his happiness made it easy to forgive.

Wow, the husband certainly had a huge shovel to bury both his ex-wife and her boy friend. As it is said, he who laughs last….. well you know! 5*s.

A fun read. Thanks.

Ed

Great story. Love it. AAAAAA++++++

This is a great story, the MC just kept his cool once knowledge of her betrayal is known. He didnt rant or rave, didnt go off sulking, just planned his moves and stayed cool. Excellent 5 stars

Gotta’ love a happy ending 😁

Good one!

Thank you for a nicely told story which develops well as Allan and his children cope with the changes in Amy. Everyone seems to get appropriate justice - and the goodies win.

I have to think the cheating wife got off way too easy. I mean the only thing she really lost was her boss/boyfriend. She didn’t lose her husband or her kids. She threw them away. Big difference. I think a pretty good ending would have been for him to get on his computer and cancel all her credit cards, cancel her phone service, and then cancel her return ticket out of Bali. Let her spend a little more time in paradise. While she tries to figure out how to get the hell out of there.

Three stars, I did like parts of it.

The amount of disrespect and betrayal, and he was such a simp to be nice to her during and after the divorce. Pure beta boy jerkoff material. I'm being too generous with a two star review.

I still like the story, but it seems disjointed that Dan first leaves town and then gets arrested for crimes back home? At the least, it seems like an unnecessary degree of complexity.

Such a load on shit that I can’t be bothered to leave proper feedback

LOL could have used fewer excuses for the wife. She did it all with eyes wide open and was treated like any other scum going behind their partners back.

She did it with eyes open knowing she had a great family and partner.

4 stars. Better than average story. The title is a bit misleading. He really did nothing to avenge his cheating wife.

If Amy and Dan were so damn careful and hid their affair so well, why did she have videos of it on her phone? Who took the videos of them both busy fucking? Why did they take them?

Just askin

3 stars - Primarily this just a fantasy make believe story that is so unbelievable why should I bother commenting?

Same inane conclusion...

Hypocritical that you'd forgive so easily the cheating spouse, yet save that hatred that you professed that would eat away at you for her partner.

Hate isn't the opposite of love, indifference is. Me? I wouldn't piss on the ex wife if she was on fire.

Glad you got round to putting a stop to Dan's crimes. Though as a programmer, I just can't see a professional IT man wasting his time and energy visiting Dan. Leave Dan to wonder how he got caught. To wonder and to kick himself as to how he got caught. Much more satisfying. I'd have a secret smile and laugh inside every time I thought about it. No never be nasty to a competent IT person.

OH, why not?

The newlyweds enjoyed seven years together after Allan's ill advised taunting of Dan at the prison facility. Dan's wife and children did cut him out of their lives entirely. Upon his release they refused his efforts to achieve some degree of reconciliation. With no wife, no children and no career, Dan found revenge was the only thing that had meaning for him. After surprising Allan and Sophie at their home and forcing his way inside at gunpoint, he returned the favor of Allan's taunts before he shot Sophie to death before Dan's eyes. He then shot Dan and killed himself. Ironically, Amy stepped forward to adopt Dan and Sophie's young daughter. Over the course of several years all 5 daughters, as well as Sophie's son, came to gather at Amy's home during the holidays. The now grown children enjoyed spending time with their young sister and each came to have a close relationship with Amy as well.

I really enjoyed this story it makes a change from the crazy husband seeking mad revenge. I never did when I divorced my wife and a year later I met a fantastic woman. She filled my heart and we are madly in love.

The story is entertaining, I like it but there are some silly details.

1. Wife carries on affair for 2 and a half years without hubby noticing even though all the signs are there? Yet when finally faced with betrayal he is as cool as a cucumber and ready for concealed acting. This is often a cliché in LW when in reality people act quite differently, with a lot less care and with a lot more emotions. In particular here it involves 3 people (hubby and two daughters).

2. Wife is contrite, another LW stereotype. Most of marriages dissolve into rather acrimonious stage but in LW universe this is always with wife begging for reconciliation. That is, of course, wet dream of jilted male old geezer couch potatos which is what most BTB writers on LW are.

3. Hubby goes to prison admitting to hacking into a private computer using a trojan? Even police cannot do that without a warrant. This is basically admiting to a crime. He photoshoped "proof" of sleeping with Dan's wife? Wouldn't one think that she might be offended party here as well?

The hacking mumbo-jumbo is often used in LW without details even though this is not so easy as LW writers think.

Are there really morons out there that believe you can't be seduced unless you want to be? How do those people manage to not swallow their own tongues out of stupidity.

I totally agree with what iameasel said. None can seduce you unless you want to be seduced. LW writers need to stop using this disgusting, pathetically overused trope.

Niiiiiice!

Well written, a tad cliched.

BUt the dumb part of this, which is what many writers enjoy pulling an epic fail on is this little gem..."While I had wanted to punish Amy, my real revenge was aimed at her boss Dan who had seduced her away from me in the first place."

Nope, a seducer cant seduce anyone that refuses to be. Will paying back the asshole is all fine and well, the fact is the spouse is the one that has to behave and not give in. To blame the spouse less is actually...ass backwards. The boss didnt have vows with Allan, she did.

Meh, it was so-so. People like Amy would not turn around so quickly and be ever so sorry. Maybe after many years, but probably not even then. They are too selfish and to stuck on themselves to feel remorse as much as she did.

I also don't understand the need to force the the kids to have a relationship with a cheating spouse. The cheater is not a good parent, has neglected the kids, has terrible values and morals, and I would not insist on having such a person have a relationship with my kids.

And why go after Dan? He wasn't the one that took vows. He wasn't the one that made the promise to forsake all others. Dan was just the person that provided the opportunity. Amy was the one at fault because she allowed the affair to happen.

What a great BTB story that ended well with Allan and their two daughter finding their new happiness with their new mom Sophie. And the revenge he took on Dan was per karma. Well done 5 stars

You need an editor. Amy became Sophie at one point in the story. The ending with Dan actually spoiled the story for me. Up until then it was a good well thought out story. The ending just turned it into something silly.

Editing was atrocious.

They definitely felt the burn. She didn't see it coming from either side and he was so justly nailed.

Sophie sounds like a few steps up from Amy. Good for him.

But you need to get someone to proof read and catch your dumb mistakes

No, he didn’t cheat on Sophie too. The pics he showed Dan were photoshopped. In other words, fake. As for the story, I thought it was great. I particularly enjoyed the visit Allan paid to Dan in prison. Talk about adding insult to injury. Outstanding.

Great story very wholesome 5 more stars are deserved

wait so he cheated on sophie then?

***** this is one of the few good stories I had read lately....thank you...

I enjoyed it thoroughly. I am increasingly amused by stories with intelligent kids showing character and maturity. This story had that. Thank you.

Thanks for an entertaining story. Everyone seemed to get what they deserved.

Good story. I especially enjoyed the final dig at Dan. Very good work.

Nothing like seeing two cheaters put down.

of plot

of storytelling ability

of language, ie. ability to put it into words

For sure 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Anonymous - Convenient

go back and re-read the story on pg 4 starting just before and after the word "photoshop". He didn't cheat, just left the impression that he was banging his wife.

Great story and love to see more from this author.

5 stars!

Isn't convenient in these stories ,how the the lovers document their affair or are heared giving out all the details in a telephone conversation.

Just a quick reply to previous comment, it says, “Of course they were faked using photoshop but he didn’t know that.”

It was a decent story and I gave it 4 stars. But fucking Dan's wife at the end, after he'd married Sofia, meant that he was a cheat too.

Thank you for sharing your imagination with us - this was a classic in the making.

An easy 5/5 for this one.

Great story and I loved the twist.

Enjoyed the story

It was both ligth and heavy at the same time.

I'm not sure you read the same story as the rest of us.

One of the best burns on this site. But, tell us, was the revenge on the lover planned or was it an afterthought?

Dan went to prison for embezzling money from his old employer AND from his new one...

I was going 4* until the ending which was simply too juicy for less than a 5.

Thanks for the entertaining read.

Everyone got what they deserved in the end!

Eh

Were I the ex I would have lied to her and said I knew from the first time she came home after fucking him the first time

Then I'd have said I only staid those years to ensure I would get custody in the divorce so the girls didnt wind up faithless fucksluts like their mom

Excellent story!!

He was the primary caregiver. As such, he would be most likely to be awarded custody regardless of the ages of the girls. Yes, mothers get the edge, but this seems like a slam dunk even if they were toddlers. As old as they were, even more so. The older daughter would choose him. The younger daughter's choice might not be determinative, but it would be given serious weight by the judge. And their being together would also be a serious consideration.

He should have jettisoned the cheater years before.

2* Typical LW story. Obtuse, wimp, cucky husband betrayed by slut wife for years. Cucky author. Too bad LW authors are mostly wimps.

Love it. Yes this is the kind of dishes that gets best served cold.

5 stars.

That was awesome. Revenge without the hatred. Not much of a reconciliation as they both really went down for the count. Keep writing. 5

The business about Amy being quizzed while she was in Bali was quite funny. The rest of the story was solid and quite well executed. BTW, in every state from about 10-11 years on, the desire of the child regarding custody gets significant weight (leaving aside instances where the parent is a druggie, felon, etc). If the child is 13 and a 15 year-old sibling has chosen a parent and the 13 year-old wants the same parent for primary custody, it's all over. No judge would split the children in such a case. So, while the 6 months may have been useful for financial planning, there was no custody issue that required the wait.

Thanks for the story!

I thought it was good in parts. The part up to him sitting with Amy and Claire was great and 5 stars. Though, it lacked the payoff of HIM confronting her. From there until the visit to Dan in prison was hard to accept. It was rather forced, unbelievable and Pollyanna. I am not averse to forgiveness and acceptance, but Amy's sudden transformation into remorseful from shrew was too sudden and didn't jibe with the rest of her portrayal. It felt very unemotional. She seemed to accept that Dan had destroyed everything in her life (justifiably) with a shrug and a "oh boy, you really got me".

Overall there needed to be some cathartic release of pent up toxic fumes, but all we got was a silent fart.

4 stars. A more believable response from Amy and I would have given 5.

A great story but I do have a smidgen of sympathy for the ex. She was a schoolgirl when they got together and although it was wrong I can understand why she was led astray. In the end he also found someone who could love him for the man he was rather than having to because of circumstances. 5 stars

I enjoyed the plot decisions you made. I thought it was fun to see him confess to his affairs in a way that made her and her lawyer feel very guilty. I guess I’d have to agree that they were lucky to get 14 years in before her base personality kicked in.

Perhaps I didn’t read thoroughly enough, but what did Dan do to get sent to prison? It couldn’t be for seducing married women.

5*****

I second what Mollydacat posted.

Another gem amongst the garbage.

So many garbage stories, just enough good ones to keep me reading

Jesus, the same old, same old. Cuckold hubby has another girlfriend immediately, he sees wife with another man but does nothing but make plans to get more evidence, yadda, yadda, yadda.

I've read this plot a million times.

You nailed the usual clichés. The husband finds a beautiful woman and has babies with her while the boyfriend winds up in jail. The cheating wife is in a small apartment and is very sad. (Wives never cheat with honest men.) I am not familiar with laws in Australia, but the divorce seemed a bit odd. An editor would help. Da Kat enjoyed it, so you have that pleasure.

Yes this is what brings me back. 5 stars. Please! Create a separate cuck/hotwife category. I don't understand cuck shit but if they like it fine, but don't subject is btb readers to that junk.

He didn't confront the cheating. Rather he used her entitled behavior against her to come out ahead in the divorce. Its brilliant. The forgiveness was realistic as well. Loved it.

Great effort and such a refreshing change from the over abundance of chuck shite that now consumes this genre. Yes if it wasn't for stories like this then yes I'd delete the app and look elsewhere. Please give more consideration to giving cucks their own category. Look at the numbers on the doors to see how poorly they are appreciated.

I doubt she was even worried about you and another woman. Most cheaters look at as you getting even. But the kids, I like the fact that they told their dad.
