Why would she be upset? She has her house. She has a husband with a big dick that knows how to use it. She has a baby. Why would she spend any money looking for an ex-husband that she obviously didn't love or respect? Isn't it odd that she marries her affair and the man that left her thinking he'd never love again, finds a new wife and a larger family immediately? It was also disappointing that we never hear from Kathryn. She must have had an opinion about leaving the only Mother she ever knew. Too many holes in this for me.
I've never liked these conversations by any author - they are always too preachy. And this one is just that. A good story requires a little tension. These never have it. All strawman story telling.
Short and bittersweet. Surprising that Luca manned up and took on the responsibility of fatherhood, especially since there's a good possibility that July will do the same thing to him as she did to Allen, unhappy marriage and all.
What an incredible story! Not a single wasted word, not one extraneous syllable! The plot line flowed perfectly, and you worked artfully within those tantalizing shades of gray where all human drama truly lives.
.
Of course, the BTB Cabal and ANON will whine, moan, name-call and down-vote because July wasn't left staked out in the noon sun over a fire ant mound with her eyelids forced open! Pay no attention!
.
Fantastic job of writing! Reminds me of a James M. Caine short story. Yes, it's that good!
Interesting and sad story. I don't think July should have been allowed to marry Luca and have two kids with him. I know it's an unhappy marriage but still. It just felt wrong. Maybe more realistic, but still wrong.
I also don't think it was right for Allen to cut Kathryn completely off from the only mother she'd ever known. Yes, legally he could. But come on. And as someone else said here, what was Kathryn's reaction? I think an 8-year-old girl who was close to her mother would not be okay with never speaking to or seeing her again.
Finally, while I'm very glad Allen found happiness, I never understand how someone genuinely in love can give up so easily. She was completely wrong in what she did but it did seem they still loved each other. I don't know. I think at least trying counseling might have been a good idea. But I know I'm probably in the minority.
Anyway, thanks for your story. I hope the next one in the series will be a happy one. :)
So he got a new apartment, and then left town? Why didn’t you just make it a space at a storage facility?
Have to agree with another comment about too much preaching, this was a decent story and didn't need it. All the ingredients were there to make this a little different: despite the cheating its possible she did really love Allen and was just selfish. Allen and Kathryn loved her but judged and accepted defeat too easily. I'm not saying she should be forgiven but a little more heart searching might have helped.
As it was you left her sad and remorseful even with a new husband and child, while Allen goes on to live happily ever after, an easy way out and classical BTB resolution. But it's your story, you write it how you like but I believe with a little more effort and thought it could have been so much better.
"I convinced myself that even Allen would walk on the wild side if a younger hottie wanted to fuck him blind on a regular basis." - Yeah, and you'd cut off his balls if he did!
\
"It suddenly dawned on me that I had thrown away everything I've always desired for nothing more than a good fuck." - Not like it would be an excuse, but it's not even like Allen was a lousy fuck.
Solid effort. Well written. Captured the loss that cheating breeds very effectively.

Feels like Cliff Notes. A lot of small details left out. I get the story but not all that happened. She was obviously a slut and dumb ass but no real explicit examples of her of her mistakes.
Good story. I bet something like has happened in real life many times. People are idiots. Without God in your life, you will make sin your anchor. The when the "water" rises, you don't float, you drown. Over and over.
Strange that Luca married her. A guy that has an affair with a married woman and as far as this was written had no love for her like she had non for him wouldn't do that. and it lasted so far 4 years? Amazing and far fetched.
Also I agree with the anon that said she has all she wanted and needs.. So what that she lost her husband. She said she wanted and deserved both but at least she has "half". She has the sex, the money, the house, and a child of her own.
I'll never understand authors whose sad pathetic characters go on and on about how
they totally and forever miss their perfect exes. Then why cheat on them and for a lengthy period of time. If drugged, they would have an excuse...maybe; why put yourself in a position ( like a bar ) where this could happen. No, the sluts may miss the lifestyle but never loved the husband like the authors have them go on and on about.
Well written. A sad tail that clearly shows how a selfish, thoughtless, conceited person can delude themselves into believing “I deserve this” or “it’s just sex.” Glad Allen was able to find someone new.
Good story with fitting consequences for the unfaithful wife.
Luca might have had a big cock, but he was obviously just a fuckboi that she never loved. She made her bed and now she's chained to it with a couple of kids she resents instead of being besotted with. What a miserable life she ended up with.
With billions of people available, it seems silly to say that "i'll never find another..." It's very overwrought.
If I were in that situation, I probably would have gotten her to leave and started looking for another mate. Or not. because I'm not afraid not to have one.
These men aren't men and these women don't act like women.
Nothing to smile at, the story has only a very genuine pain and regret for mistakes made and their consequences. It worked. Good story.
She really would have deserved it, if Luca left her as a single mom. Selfish narcissists don’t deserve to go without pain to match the pain they’ve inflicted.
Good story about another cheating wife who wakes up too late. As Sal AP said, it’s surprising that Luca stuck around after knocking her up. Since she is so unhappy, Luca must not have much to offer other than his horse cock. She looks forward to a sad life and probably 6 or 8 more brats.
The arrogance of entitlement is a wonderful thing until you have to pay the piper, and you always have to pay the piper.
You forgot to mention why it is a nightmare. What is so bad about Luca?
She suffers for her actions. Her consequences are real, she lives them every day, looking at a husband she does not love, and a child she wanted with her ex husband. Trapped in her own nightmare. She should have had the abortion, most women would’ve.
She IS living a nightmare. Good!!!
As ye sow, so shall ye reap.
@SwordWielder, because she doesn't love him, but is stuck with him because of the two "anchors" (kids) that she has with him.
I get it. That was poetic. She has to live forever knowing that she pissed away the guy she loved for a tawdry affair and she gets to live a half life with a constant reminder of the guy she destroyed her real life with. A nightmare for real.
Average story, not much plot to it. One observation you might want to remember in the future. July is the seventh month of the year. Julie is how you spell the girls name. I guess if she was born in July and you really wanted to name her after the month then you should have explained how to pronounce her name as the same as the month she was born in, and be glade she wasn't born in February, because then you would have to nick name her Feb. ;)
Started good, but couldn't really get into it. Not sure why, I know some of it didnt flow all that well.
It'll suffice for the average BTB crowd I'm sure.
The reoccurring theme: Stupid people live fucked up lives. Just another greedy selfish whore who wanted to have her cake and eat it too. She now has a husband who is a great fuck and a responsible dad, and two children, and yet she lives a life of quiet desperation. This woman is mentally dysfunctional, and Allen definitely owes Luca a dept of gratitude. Who would want a psycho bitch like her raising his children? She will eventually cheat on Luca too, just for the thrill of cheating
She's stupid, she will die stupid, living a fucked up life. The only sad part is that she and Luca had to polluted the gene pool with their fucked up DNA. Let's hope the slut serves as a bad example that her children learn not to emulate. Hope is cheap, for the obvious reason.
Thanks for the effort.
You asked "What is so bad about Luca? " The simple answer is nothing. The last three paragraphs infer to her plight.
The problem is she does not love Luca. He was a drug to get her excited. However, after the high of the drug wears off, she's back to having to living with herself and the fact she betrayed the one "big love" in her life.
That's her nightmare. She doesn't have a big love in her life. Instead, she's relegated to having babies with a man probably isn't even second best to her.
A good story and one that has an appropriate ending. What's so bad about Luca? Well, the sex may be great but so many of these stallions are not so great at being a loving partner! A choice is made: mind-blowing sex with an illicit lover or love-making with a caring, thoughtful partner. Which lasts longer?
Good story well written. Not my cup of tea don't know why I read them. I suppose I hope I will find one I like if I read enough of them. Quite a downer.
Cheers

iameasel, what ‘burn’ do you see in the story? There’s only the natural consequences of her choices. For it to “satisfy the average BTB crowd” there needs to be punished chosen by the betrayed spouse.
ZK
To those who say that Kathyrn shouldn’t have been taken away from her stepmother: that is the ONLY action her father could take! He has a responsibility to ensure that his daughter knows right from wrong, and that she grows up to be a good woman. Allowing her to remain in contact with the vile poison would corrupt her, and betray her birth mother.
ZK
Karma needs to make a visit and have Luca cheat on her now... so that she can truly know the devastation she wrought.
Low morals presented in all of these fictions. Sad really the problem is its really how low we sank in this country.
@TheKrrak: Would be a good sequel, but I don't think that has the same effect. She doesn't love Luca like Allen loved her, so a cheating Luca wouldn't hurt that much.
It was really well written and you did an excellent job of eliciting the emotions; the depression, the all-to-late wake up of what a horrible betrayal the wife had perpetrated. She did get burned by her selfishness, her lack of responsibility and ethics, and being so immersed in her affair that she didn't even realize how she had cut off Allen and pulled away from him. There wasn't much in the story regarding her relationship at that point with the daughter, but I am going to assume she was ignoring her needs and life just as she ignored Allen. It was a depressing story, but really well done. Thanks.
damn good story,
Thank you.
@sbrooks103x, more pointless points and obvious nit picks.
Great story. Poignant, and perceptive, as to what adultery can lead to.
Although I liked the overall story and outcome, I find it hard to believe he would marry so quickly
A good well written story. Getting the cheating wife's perspective on her loss is different usually it's written from the husbands perspective.
Nice
A cheating cunt's wife point of view. So she married her lover because she was pregnant. I'm glad she's miserable. I'm happy the ex-husband found love again.
Five Stars
that was smart adding the detail of him getting with his third wife. tbh i wouldnt have believe it if it wasnt for that little tid-bit. the emotion was good and tasty ty for the read
i've really wrestled with this one and still it's a 5* no matter how you look at it. ;0)
I would have say that was one of the most profoundly moving ending of a short stories I've read in a while on here. Like being able to break a bone with a feather, writing a good ending is a desired attribute that few have. WELL DONE
Looks like another cheating wife who should have put much fore thought into the consequences of infidelity.
Great story!
Stories such as as this which depict a situation in which one member of a marriage "ghosts" the other grow increasingly improbable. This story was published in 2021 and makes no mention of being set in an earlier time. As I write this in early 2022, even federal witness protection measures are proving inadequate to keep secret an individual's identity in the days of commercial databases containing face recognition patterns, spending patterns and memory trace analyses of interactions with websites. In explanation of the latter, no one else reads a Literotica story exactly the way you do except you. If the wife in this story wanted her missing husband found and had $25k to fund the search, it is almost certain she would know his location within three months. That doesn't mean she would get what she wanted from a reunion, obviously, but the reunion would occur.
I liked this story a lot and I think it is close to reality for a lot people in similar circumstances ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
She falls in love and marries a wonderful man who is raising a little girl while recovering from the death of his first wife...and she cheats on him. It was the three of them, together, against the world, and she cheats on him. May her nightmares persist forever.
I wish more stories gave us the dialogue and thoughts of remorse and suffering that the CHEATER goes through after they realize how badly they f*cked up. Great story overall.
Thanks for giving some of the thought of his cheating spouse. She didn't show remorse for cheating it was all about being caught.
A decent story. One quibble, July thinks she has been better at meeting her husband's needs but didn't have sex with him for a month.
What a selfish evil women. He is raising a girl after a death of his wife. He loved this second wife and knowingly she breaks his heart and humiliate him. What do these women even think of love in first place?
5 star - Allen was a lucky man to be rid of this slut. She was so wrapped up in her own selfish needs she forgot about the supposedly most important person in her life - for more than a month. Her actions spoke volumes to her husband, as well as the pictures relayed her thoughts and feelings. She got exactly what she chose - locked into a relationship with a man who has no honor and is an ASSHOLE for fucking a married woman. Once a cheater ALWAYS a cheater - I wonder which one will cheat first - her the SLUT or Luca the ASSHOLE.
Once again...Cake and eat it too has come home to roost. I loathe people that are so egocentric, narcissistic, and shallow as she was. I hope and pray in real life they get the long-term misery they sow. As for the story it exhibits the really good writing style and theme this writer has consistently produced.
I would have thought that she got an inkling of what was going down when she walked into a dark house!
You cheated and got exactly what you deserve.
Sluts should not be allowed to use word love. If knew what it was wouldn't shit on spouse.
I just started reading this Conversations series by Tinman_1903. The new one Conversations #06 posted today. When I saw it was a series I decided to start with #01. The first one was a good read just as this is. It looks to me like the writer has some skills in telling his tales.
Funny how every writer seems to get good and bad comments no matter how good the story. I hope this writer will continue to write. While I may rate the stories good ⭐⭐⭐, these are fun and make an enjoyable way to pass time. His ability to weave a tale keeps most of us interested in finishing the collection of thoughts.
Keep Writing

Good story. The author knows how to write and convey appropriate emotions. The subject matter is sad but done very well. Please write more stories as yours are realistic and believable. 5 stars.
Fact is as I have said many times, she doesn't love him if she can betray and disrespect him so easily.
What thirty-one-year-old woman wouldn't take advantage of a big-dicked twenty-seven-year-old stud on top of a first-rate husband and lover?
Err, an honest one ? One worth a shit ?
Great story.
Nicely put together story. Great and concise flow topped with "sorry babe I can't trust you". Writer portrays the cheater as having remorse and regret plus "not getting over her husband after 5 years....No way. Most cheaters fall in two categories. First are the ones who should have never married as they are build to fuck anybody who comes along. Second are the purely selfish ones like the cheater in this story. "Cake and eat it too" version of a cheater. A good spouse and honest partner, If they let themselves can always find love. A spouse who exhibits selfishness "not adopting the spouses children" aren't worth spit. My only question is why run away and hide? Alan did nothing, so why do spouses, especially men do this? No cheater who habitually cheats, sit around for 5 years and lalents losing a spouse. Again no way.
I sincerely hope she's being abused. I don't care - scumbags deserve to be abused.
Why did she marry Luca? Afraid of being alone...Why did Luca marry her? needed for the story i guess. I see no other reason for him to, considering he was already fucking her.
Got about half of what she deserved. If I was Allen, Luca would definitely lose the ability to be of any benefit
Just do not know to turn thoughts to words.
In the end she might be missing the best part of her life?
LOVE slap-hapy-papy #9
I kind of disagree with previous comments. I figured Luca would get his just rewards in a few years. Eventually he will come to know that the mother of his children longs for another.
A faulty premise makes for a poor story. Unless Allen had the means to change his identity outside of traditional legal means, it would be easy to track him down if he took a new job or utilized any banking or other regulated financial services. A competent investigator could have located him within a few weeks of his arrival at his new location. If he continued to use any credit or debit cards issued before he filed for divorce, the investigator could have simply followed his route by mapping the card usage. Whether or not tracking him down would have changed the outcome of the story is unknown. Showing that she cared enough to find and follow him in an effort to make amends, however, would have been important.
The fact that so many of these cowardly “lions” are put up on the pedestal for all the whiney man-boys that dote on these distorted views of marital relationships is really a sad commentary on today’s men.
“You hurt me so bad I had to run away and hide.” That is not a statement that real men say.
Once again a stupid slut gets what she deserves, if she didn’t want to lose hubbie don’t sleep with arsehole. Would have really liked to see arsehole get suitably damaged though
It's easy to find through PI. Also I really doubt she loved Allen that much to miss him every day. She had an affair for four months and make Allen a clueless fool and disrespect and humiliated his manhood. No loving women will do that.
Very nice & well written story. Out of heartbreak & hurt comes love--- well, at least for him. For her, 4 months cheating didn't end so well. One of your better stories I've read thus far. 4 stars Bob
