Click hereMother and daughter left it hanging, each showing signs of amusement.
He gave in. "Well?"
"They aren't married!" His fiancée said gleefully.
He was stunned. He looked out the window at the two. He saw no rings.
"That's right," his fiancée said. "If you ask them, they are: Partners for life. Friends with benefits. Soulmates without documentation. Common law lawless spouses. Relentless roommates. Or some other ridiculous definition they will make up."
Her mother added a slice of lemon to each glass. "They were married once. It didn't work out. Now they just live together."
His fiancée noted his stunned expression. "I'll tell you the whole story later. Since you are almost family. And to initiate you, I will let you ask them the question so they have the pleasure of bullshitting you. It gives the old geezers a charge."
"Spoiler." Her mother said. "They will eventually tell you that the secret to a long whatever it is that they have is healthy mistrust and a dollop of fear."
He frowned. "That doesn't sound like--"
"Right?" his fiancée beamed. "It's not a Disney movie. It's a real story." She tilted her head in the general direction of the back porch. "Their story."
He stared back out at the rocking pair. "They seem so happy."
"They are," her mother said. She tossed a spoon in the sink and as it clattered on the porcelain turned to her daughter and her future son-in-law. "And if I and my husband are that happy when we retire, and if you two are that happy when you reach that age...." She shrugged. "Then it will have been a good life."
His fiancée looked up at him with love, then out the window at her grans. She squeezed his hand very hard.

deepender3 days agoThey both stayed true to themselves.

He didn't budge. She stayed true to what she felt: BOTH to her desire to keep the ranch in the family AND to the lover. She didn't understand her desire for the lover, but stayed true to it. She did not apologize because she did not feel it.

This is NOT a reconciliation. It is, at best, an uneasy truce between to humans that decided to live with someone they knew--someone that they once loved--rather than live lonely alone.
desecration10 days agoI find it hard to buy, although I like many of the observations in the story. When he takes her back, he becomes The Cuck.
Anonymousabout 2 months agoThe reconciliation is incredibly stupid. Move on - the selfish excuse for a wife isn't worth any of that. And she deserves both the hate and the indifference completely. No repentance, just regret she got caught, and would never give up her self-centered cheating or the scumbag. No apology.
The only thing of value - the "healthy mistrust and the dollop of fear." Some wisdom there, brilliant usage, but still no reason for any sort of reconciliation. Or change the category to 'fantasy'...
slowhand21about 2 months ago“She had admitted in one of the therapy sessions they thought might save them that her attraction to the kid was irrational, fiery, magical, addictive. Sexual on a primal, inexplicable level she had never felt before.
She had not been able to keep the longing from showing on her face when she said that, and it punished him so deeply he had thought his body might shut down right there.”
These paragraphs crushed my heart. To make the effort to work past the infidelity and make a recovery only to learn that she is completely obsessed—to the point that she loses everything because she’s such an irredeemable slut.
robinhod2 months agoI loved it.
Not sure I could believe it, but it's a story isn't it.
So, it's OK for me to love it.
Sentimental old guy that I am.
MasterKote3 months agoHad the ex wife been a lil more remorseful or along those lines I can see the reconciliation but not this
Anonymous3 months agoThe granddaughter's boyfriend needs to run for the hills and not take a chance with her; she's got Cat's genes and has learned the wrong lesson on what makes a couple live a happy long life together.
The college boy who earlier made Cat forsake her vows never got his comeuppance.
Four stars.
Anonymous3 months agoThis 2 chapter story ranks among the best I’ve ever read on this forum.

But……I don’t think if I were the husband I could ever have taken the wife back, married or not. She was an arrogant slut who really didn’t seem remorseful for her actions. Not at the time…and not after 5 years. Hubby was just too much in love with her.

5 *****
Donovan77774 months agoNot sure how I feel about this one. Have a problem with the fact that she never gave the kid up. Well written though .
Anonymous4 months agoThis is the ending Ohio's story needed. This was written just as well without the bullshit RAAC ending where hubby was even comfortable enough to shake the young prick's hand at the fsmiky bbq.
Thank you for proper story resolution.
