All Comments on 'Clark Kent or Superman? An Ending'

I think the "I need to set you free" would have been the most appropriate for her - but she is too selfish to do that!

A 4 from me.

Jeez!! After quite a decent first chapter you spring RAAC on your unsuspecting readers!! Total disappointment!! Should have quit when you were ahead!!

Keeping her just teaches her to hid her adultery better. Worse, the lack of consequences encourages other women to betray their husbands. For his good, and the good of all mankind, she must be removed from his life in a horrific, and humiliating manner. Other women need to quake in their boots at the thought of ending up like her!

3/5

Not quite sure why he would want to give her a chance, 'old habits die hard' the only one i can see. Her epiphany is just reaction to his effectively ultimatum and unlikely to work long term with daily business as usual - and short leash would bring resentment. Love without trust and respect is not foundation for a strong relationship

It's a goid story so far just to many loose ends left hanging. Like the text results the other men shes been fucking and her work l. But good job keep it up.

Great story so far but still lacking an ending. Still two different ways it could go. Grace might go to counseling or learn to be or selfish some other way. Or, she could fail and Barry could ride or into the sunset with Tina or Linda while Grace suffers from a bad STD.

Where's FTDS when we need him? To bad he's not around anymore.

Finish the damn story. What a waste of time!!!

It still feels unfinished. It is far too easy to talk the talk, and hard as hell to actually walk the walk. Has she finally learned that actions have consequences? Probably not.

It was going so well. Then it ended up sucking so bad.

Interesting story, well written. Just not sure that I like the ending. 5*

very good writing, dialogue and interesting story

I just don't get it.

Why these type of people still live .....

Loved the writing, hated the "ending." We all know that girl will cheat again.

Shit it was a BTB all along. The writing was amazing but the message was dog shit.

This writer delivered a great message, regardless of if you agree with the theme. This story is extremely well written. Character development was address very well as the story was told. Forget the sentence structure, the ending and all that "stuff". It is pointed, very funny and consistent. The story was told so Grace could finally got to a point where she understands her lack of almost every human emotion except selfish. Naturally most men would BTB her in hell. Naturally, also those actions would negate the whole story. One last point, I doubt this mrriage will survive. Grace will eventually return to her true character and the husband will find a woman he deserves. This is your second story I have read. The first had 84 chapters and I could not put it down. Bravo. BTRH

Wow, I like reading the comments, since they're sometimes more interesting than the story (definitely not in this case) and they quite a few times pick up on some discrepancy I've missed. But these- pure vitriol, except for 26NC, not reading too far down. Some folks just don't have a clue what humor is, and these 2 stories are FULL of humor. Brilliant, at times. Not to be taken too seriously.

1 star - I lost interest in this story when the wife explained she was going to continue fucking other men.

GAME OVER -- ONCE&DONE - send in the next candidate

The husband needs to kick the adulterous, skanky, bitch, slut to the curb. It would be faster and easier to find someone new, rather than waste the time trying to retrain the crazy slut he has now.

Three years of her fucking around. Accepting that makes him a true world class cuck. Simply not acceptable in any way. Very weak story and not well done. He clearly lacks any self esteem of any kind. Low score.....

Both chapters were weak.

Nope, return the child to her father, she’s defective.

Great writing. Really liked your plot and story development. Keep at it. 5 Stars.

When the slut wife cheats, she breaks the marriage contract. Ergo Barry should have been making love to the other women. And I say making love cause that's going to hurt the cheating cunt more than just banging them. But as usual, like most every other author on here, they just can't give the husband proper retribution. And the cheating wife the necessary punishment they deserve.

I didn’t know what to expect from this second part of the story. In fact I had to hunt for it since it wasn’t in the same category as the first part. I didn’t care much for “part 2”, just as I didn’t care much for “part 1”. But after reading it I think I know why the author put this part in the non-erotic section. Had he put it in Loving Wives, the sequel, and probably the author, would have been crucified by the critics there. Those folks are brutal. I didn’t care much for the story because I thought both of the main characters in it were foolish beyond belief. But hey, to each his own.

She did how many guys, for how long, in their bed ... I could never forgive that.

Kind of anti-climatic. The second chapter was unneeded. It is a shame that authors feel compelled by critics to alter their work. It is after all their work. Screw the critics.

Second just can't hold up next to first chapter. Wish it had stopped there . It was that good.

But it did.

3 fucking years......enough said

Burn the bitch!Y6ecTH

I simply don't think she's learned a long term lesson. She may change for awhile, but in the long run she is who she is and she'll revert to having lovers again. Bad ending. I'll think of my own ending wherein he hides most of their assets and divorces her.

2 stars

A man finds out that his wife has been cheating on him for 3 years and still have the tendency to forgive her. I just want to believe that it is just a story, it can't happen in real life.

cuck cuck cuck cuck enough said.

This continuation brought to mind a song. Only the suit of the song does not apply.

From a Jack to a King.

This follow up deserves a more accurate title.

From a King to a deuce. The first story should have ended as it was.The RACC crowd will really love this ending. They must be squirming in the chairs by the bed. Of course with the new normal that most of the younger generations accept. This must seem acceptable. Well when women complain about there not being any real men out there. Remember that you got what you wanted. There are real men out there. They just don't have anything to do with these enlightened women. And the women who are with them would not allow them to even have a chance to ruin what they have. Real men put their woman's needs and wants first to a limit. And real women put their man's needs first to a limit. It is a partnership built on love and respect. It is no surprise that modern wedding vows have changed to make the couples saying them feel enlightened. Well the "lightened" part should make them feel safe and warm.

The wedding vows are not meant to be simple and taken lightly. It is a pact between a man and a woman to put each other first and hold that union sacred. Its probably a good thing that modern marriages don't use the original vows. Why commit to something that you don't have the character, maturity, steadfastness or fortitude to uphold. Oh well, this is to be expected from a generation that can't take responsibility for their own actions. I mean if they used the traditional vows who would they have to blame when they realized they are to weak to keep them.

There is a reason I avoid stories in this category that are told in chapter. This story (and another that I recall reading) is an example as to why. For the longest time, I've had a personal complaint that the first story was incomplete. That was mainly because I was unaware there was a sequel to it. I have just now read this sequel and of all the endings that could've been used, this is most rushed and least likely ending that could fit this story.

You had a good thing going with the first chapter, but this ending just drops the ball.

I usually prefer to not rate at all than give a story 1-star, but it needs to be acknowledged that this ending is very poor.

JMFC

Ending was not nearly as good as chapter one. He could have done better.

You can pick any ending you want but try and have some slight plausibility to your ending. 1*

A dozen men and in my marital bed? Too little too late. She can use her newfound knowledge for her next relationship.

5 stars.

From the beginning that this was a cuck story. After the first part, that i gave a 5, you come back with garbage like this? I was actually going to track down more of your stories but after part 2, NFW.

Why even bother trying to reconcile with the selfish whore? Linda was basically an upgrade in every way.

The first chapter was a brilliant twist to the cheating wife story, but the ending felt like a let down.

if she was having an affair for a short while...like a month...maayyybbe she'd be on a short leash.

she has tainted literally 60% of their marriage. 3 out of 5 years were full of lies and disrespect. it taints all the good memories, and only further damaged the bad ones.

i don't find this to be a love story. "oh, i'm upset you cheated. but now that you know that i can cheat too, i guess i'll just have to not do that so we can work on our marriage."

i hate to say it, as someone that's been cheated on, it damages you and your relationships completely. the more it happens, the worse it gets. it literally gets worse. and then you start to cheat on others. it's just a vicious toxic cycle. my advice to anyone that's been cheated on: GET OUT OF THAT RELATIONSHIP.

Otherwise you'll just lose more trust in others and start screwing over others, just to not feel like the gullible rube. And hell, maybe the cheater will learn something...love is ALWAYS conditional. Unconditional love sounds romantic on paper, but it's just throwing away your soul to serve someone else as a slave. You'll lose your self respect, friends, possessions, health, all of it....because a taker will continue to take.

It makes the ending to this one even more painful.

As Annon on 2/6/18 so nicely summarizes, there is no reason in hell to stay with this shrew wife.

Such a let down after chapter 1.

... to say that the two anonymous comments below this haven't already said.

A completely ridiculous story. A dozen men and cheating during 60% of their marriage, and he takes her back.

1. He comes in sees her nude with another man’s cum dripping out of her pussy while the other man runs out the door.

2. She nonchalantly tells him she has been cheating on him for 3 out of the 5 years they’ve been married.

3. She tells him he is not enough for her sexually, she needs more. A real ego booster.

4. She tells him she will never stop no matter what he does.

5. Even outside the cheating he feels she is not that great a wife or companion and extremely self-centered.

After all that he doesn’t immediately dump her, but instead makes extreme effort to show her how she was wrong with the likely outcome that she will repeat down the road. Oh yeah he is a major enabler. I can see why she blames his sorry ass for her self-centerdness.

Three years of screwing around and he takes her back?

It's will be his fault when she gives him a disease.

Sweetie (strongly) implied that she had mostly tolerated his amorous endeavors for their entire marriage, in large part because ... well, he didn't have a large part! Not much a guy can do to fix that (well, sleeves MIGHT help, but they might not! And I imagine they don't feel too natural to the wearer!)

I cannot see how you establish a good sexual partnership with a woman who has been distainful of your equipment for the duration of your relationship. And for Sweetie, why she would think she can 'get over' an unfulfilling sex life! If you like each other, just become friends (without benefits.)

Thank you for this refreshing story.

“She loved him enough to give him up for his happiness.” – Funny, SHE loves him enough to give him up for his happiness, yet YOU, who presumably loves him beyond all others, doesn’t love him enough to give up her outside lovers!

“I want you back, but I don't know if I deserve a chance to show you I can change.” – That helps, not just ASKING for another chance, but admitting that she might not deserve it.

“I didn't know how to love him fully” – That’s why she should reconsider his request that she get counseling.

One of the best around. This was a cunning man. Grace had little grace, but she was an amusing look at the prototypical member of the me generation. That "fulfillment" word she kept tossing around came back to bite her in the butt. Masterfully handled, well written and plotted. A favorite, for sure.

A few funny lines in this one, but not an ending that satisfies my personal reality. The setup gave you a lot of room to craft a funny story, but I agree with others who say "no way" he stays with a serial cheater.

On the bright side, you can get off by reading the title while watching your wife getting banged by 3 dudes. Live a happy life.

Why the hell would Linda think that he would be happy with or should stay with a serial cheater? It's retarded how Linda is sacrificing her own happiness, rather than try making him happy herself.

Once a cheater, always a cheater....he'd be better off without her.

You certainly wrote a story about two people who deserve one another, no one can take that away from you at least.

This is not really an ending, it's just as incomplete as the first chapter.

That aside, it boggles the mind that the husband would stay married to a serial cheater who has fucked a bunch of men for over half of their marriage.

First, this is an entertaining story. Risq posted a long and thoughtful comment about how unrealistic the plot is, which is a valid point of view, but I agree with Hawkeye that this is more in the vein of light hearted satirical entertainment. Second, several have commented a out the wife not being able to change. This is probably valid. I have a friend who is a psychiatrist, and he says that he can coach a narcissistic person through a situation, but if the same situation happens two years later, he will have to coach them again. So unless the wife gets a large amount of help and support, she isn't going to make it. Third, KK commented that the story reads well the second time and I agree with him. RPS is indeed an excellent writer.

How many men was she fucking over the course of 3 years?

In his own bed?

The ending left something to be desired.

Not hardly.

I suppose adding Linda is out of the question?

cheating 3 years in 5 of marriage. why would he even think about keeping her? damn wimp.

shitty story still UNFINISHED.

I don't think she can make that big a change by herself. Barry showed her exactly what her view of the world led to, and with Linda's help she learned that she needed to change. Without some more help she isn't going to make - maybe counseling, getting together with her mother, meeting friends (Linda?) - it's a huge change for her and without help she's going to fail.

left that selfish cheating, thing and found a woman to love *cough* Linda * cough*.

not really a resolution.

This story is a good start of continuing the sequel of chapters for this on the edge couple.

Need more please author.

up to this point. And if the marriage turns around and they become mutually loving and respectful, then he will deserve that too. His wife was pathologically selfish, single-mindedly pursuing her own appetites and pleasures, and he facilitated her spoiled self-centered life style. It sounds like she did not change from being a spoiled bitch, so he should have known what he was getting when he married her. If she could be so blind, cruel, and self-serving about fidelity, there had to be numerous, numerous, incidents where he forgave, overlooked, even indulged her myopic view of her marriage. So now he's so surprised that she takes him for granted and acts with total disregard for his role as husband? Where the fuck has this weeny been keeping his brain? He facilitated her descent, he should give her time to rehabilitate. That chapter has yet to be written, and the outcome is very uncertain in my opinion.

A good thought-provoking story. Thank You.

Without a doubt Clark at his most submissive.

This wife was definitely not worthy of reconciliation. She cheated 3 of the 5 years they were married. He wasn't enough for her. AND she wanted to keep doing it! This woman had real problems and is going to cheat again once he calms down. That should have been the end of the marriage. He should run from this woman as fast as he can. She has no love or respect for him at all. It sounds like he wouldn't have any trouble finding a replacement. I don't believe a person can change that quickly without any help. Her own mother didn't even think so. I don't think he was a superman at all, just a superwimp. She deserves her freedom so she could continue her search for those organisms but only on her own, without hubby's safety net waiting home for her.

It was a well written story and the first part was OK, but it was time for him to be selfish and look-out for himself. Did not like the conclusion or the second part. She doesn't deserve him and he doesn't deserve the heartbreak that's coming. She already admitted that she may slip in the future.

bullshit. years of cheating and all is well, just like that. horrible ending.

for anothers plight. TK U MLJ LV NV

all of the RAAC crowd on here. There was no way this stupid woman would have come around to this point of view on her own, you had to throw Linda under the bus to get her there. He would be much better off without her. What about the STD test results? Should have just stopped with the first one.

You write well but like a lot of writers on here you listen to the women are goddesses and men are weak fools crowd for your sequels. There was no need for that here. Chapter 1 was a pretty well written story but it came unraveled at the very last of this chapter. No way a thinking and deliberate man would ever believe anything she told him after the cavalier and off the cuff way she told him he had a little, unsatisfying dick and that for her own well being she was going to continue to be the community bike. 2 stars for this one, but only because of the good writing.

I read this story when RP first posted it and enjoyed it then and like a good wine I think it was even better with age. I had a smile on my face the whole time I was reading it. I guess now I will have to reread more of his stories.

Well written. Story itself was good because it generates comments. In real life a 5 year marriage and she cheated for 3 of them? It wouldnt survive him finding out they didnt even have kids to hold them together.

Without a lot of psych work, and i dont think that would even work well, she will not change all that much.

One of the better stories on the site. It's creative, well constructed, and beautifully written. All in all, both chapters were a pleasure to read.

I expected a better ending. C'mon!

The only problem with the story coming together is that there wasn't even a hint of superman. He would have to be badly mentally challenged to think he wasn't going to waste more time out his life before she cheated again.

You didn't write any reason for him to stay at first or at last.

Still you did flesh the two mains out pretty well.3.5 IMO.

That many of the negative comments are really emotional reactions to the characters, not objective opinions of the writing or the story.

Both chapters were very well done.

I enjoyed this story, part one especially (I gave five stars). The satire was cute and incorporated some of the common cliche catch-phrases used by cheaters in these stories (and probably in reality): It didn't mean anything, it was only sex, I need it bigger but I still love only you. My score for part two, however, was lower at three stars, as I have a problem with wifey's epiphany and sudden capitulation, plus hubby's seeming acceptance that she'll change. Not even counseling? I think he changed back to Clark Kent by the end of the story. Once a cheater, etc. etc. etc.

..wonderful story and an ending many readers - including myself - can probably live with. Could )of course) have been a bit longer - her regret came a bit too fast. 4*

I tried to like this story but I failed in my attempt. This wife was not even liked by her mother, who the author presented as highly uncomfortable with her daughter's abhorrent behavior. The relationship had no mutual attempt toward sexual fetish and it was apparent that she was mentally disturbed in her thinking and behavior. People with this behavior need serious help.

Just drek.

Sometimes it is better to just part ways.

So much promise. This tale had everything going for it. In the end she acts sincere and you buy it? The std tests weren't even back yet. No you blew this tale for real men everywhere. What a shame. So much promise.

Oh shit I said that already.

FUCK

Not consistent and still not really finished.

But she fucked 12 guys in 3 years?! Forgive that? Forget that? NO, not possible. She is a very sick and selfish person. Even if she realizes it she has a personality disorder that is not likely to go away. Barry will spend the rest of his life in hell with this sick bitch.

Why did Barry go through all that drama? To teach her a lesson? In the end all he taught her was that he will always let her have her way with no real consequences. He will probably be "hurt" the next time he catches her cheating, but this time it will his responsibility. Neither of them have changed and neither learned a damn thing. Too bad, you really started out with a good thing.

Seven years, nine months of comments tells the story.

Thanks, tom anon

P.S. Can I get Linda's number?

I'm sorry , but WTF?! Never mind the cold hearted , disrespectful way she reacted when she was caught--she's been cheating on him for 3 years with dozens of guys & they've only been married for 5 years! So explain to me exactly how any real man can & would stay with this gutter slut? I thought the revenge was bit stupid, it seems like too much hassle, wouldn't it have been easier just getting rid of the cum slut? The slut doesn't know the definition of love or marriage, if she wanted to continue fucking around why get married? It's like she's a fucking child. How could Barry possibly be able to trust her again? She said that Barry doesn't satisfy her anymore so who is he to stand in the way of her getting fuck but different cocks? What type of marriage is this? She only thought about herself, she never considered that Barry might get his needs met by a much younger prettier woman, why is that? Did she think so lowly of her husband that she felt that he was such a fucking wimp he wouldn't leave her when caught cheating & he wouldn't fuck other women? She's right on both counts! Barry deserves the dirty bitch I hope she brings him home AIDS.

For sharing

The ending could confuse some of us, after all you did not make it clear that there was no way she would satisfy his demands and he is just having some fun with her.

At least that is what the author seems to be saying in his comments. Personally I felt that the story should have ended at the end of the first posting though I admit that the conversation with her mother was a jewel!

Frankly, the way I'm seeing this, Barry only stays with her because she looks like a lost child who doesn't know what's right or wrong, not because he loves her as his wife.

Actually I don't know what to say for this story,,, perhaps nothing would be appropriate.

Reading the story itself, I thought it was meant as an humoristic exaggeration. But this ending gives another impression: the author thought of the couple as realistic characters.

No - that is not believable. There is no such stupid slut and no such wimpy husband, especially as she pictured him in her mind.

Despite this: 3* for writing skills

What trash presented as literature.

and I haven't changed my opinion much. Still a great story. What I thought different from most similar stories was his revenge was showing her that intolerable and self-centered actions can be painful and hard to accept. I said 2 years ago that what happened next didn't matter. Betrayal and revenge in kind...marriage over.

I don't think a sequel is needed unless it is the wife's view. Event then I think most of us would want him to extend his revenge just a little longer until she gives him up because she finally understands what she has done. Than she has him marry Linda because, as she said, Linda is more deserving and he deserves someone like Linda.

I am a reconciler sometimes but she just went too far in not demonstrating any love or respect for her husband too long. There is no real way he could get over it unless he is portrayed as a latent wifewatcher or cuck.

The only other reason he could possibly want to stay with her is maybe because the first two years were really something special. But even that was highly unlikely with her self-centered and spoiled attitude, something verified by the Mother.

A sequel to this story is going to take another very long story to build up enough reasons to reconcile. But hey, I like it when Wanderer or WritingDragon go to such extreme efforts to justify it! Heck, even StangStar did one recently!

ARE THESE TWO RELATED?????NO KIDS, GOOD JOB, FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS WHO RESPECT HIM AND (HER). I SEE A SITUAATION, BUT NO PROBLEM. HANK SNOW IS ROLLING OVER IN HIS GRAVE, TELLING FERLIN HUSKY.....TK U MLJ LV NV P/S IM MOVIN ON, GONE

I'm sorry but this has nothing to do with Clark Kent or Superman.

I would suggest you rename it...

Likes to humiliate or degrade husbands. I suppose that if you're into that thing, maybe author is OK. If you're not, author is pathetic.

What a crock of horse SHIT!!!

The guy is an idiot with absolutely no self respect. They should stay together because they deserve each other. This story held my interest but the ending made sure I won't reread it like the other stories I so enjoy. Once is enough.

wasn't as dim as I thought, just a little slow to learn. Great story.

You are a superior writer. The Nerd story was fabulous on many levels. That story needed the time and length to fully explore the growth of the characters. By way of contrast, I confess this is one short story which I think you could and arguably should have ended w/o the follow-up demanded by so many of your readers. Some stories lend themselvers to continuations for various reasons; some do not. In my personal opinion, this one was of the latter. As the various comments make clear, it is one of those which is great fodder for conversation --> What if this? What if that? etc., etc. Although short, you managed to fully develop the characters and the plot, leading to the wonderful up in the air conclusion. Chap 2 sort of short changes that "up in the air" feeling. Again, my personal opinion only. This is absolutely not a criticism of your wonderful writing skills.
