All Comments on 'Damascus'

On second read-through my opinion hasn't really changed much. The most interesting part of the story would have been how the husband deals with the aftermath, but you pretty much skipped that.

I imagine that if my wife hid such a huge and integral part of her life from me, hid so much of her finances from me -- not that i'd want access to them, they'd be still be hers alone -- and then her fucking somebody else, even if it was to save my life, I'd be not just angry, i'd be fucking hurt.

I know that as much as i'd love her, i think i'd have to hurt her in some emotional way. Not necessarily the best way to handle it, but i think it'd be the only way i could stay with her, even though i'd definitely still love her just as much as i did before.

Great read.

Amazing story. I just loved it. I was totally drawn into the idea that she had betrayed her husband and was so happy when she killed Hassan. Her revelation of her training and background was the best part. Her husband’s acknowledgment and acceptance of his wife’s skills saved them both. Excellent finish.

A very well written and intense plot. However, as others have commented, the lack of exploring the husband’s hurt in the aftermath, leaves the reader hanging a bit. Placing myself in Mark’s shoes, I cannot imagine a future life with her. The images of her cum covered face and the rest - the giving herself to the terrorist completely, would only diminish if she were no longer present. Further, who is she to him after this? Every activity, conversation, and interaction between them would have him questioning who he was with... The woman he married or the trained assassin? It is possible that a happy life with any woman had been permanently destroyed.

The only correct answer is to dump the bitch. If she willing to lie about her entire past she will easily lie about anything.

I would not be able to handle it. Not what she had done. May well have been better to die than handle what she did. Others will disagree but that is the way I am built.

5 stars.

A good well written story. A different storyline than any other I have read here. Well done.

I don't understand all the negative comments about her. She willingly sacrificed everything she held dear, including her future happiness with him. She had a few seconds to decide what to do. And she did it. No time for second thoughts. She risked everything for her husband.

She saved his life. Fullstop. Period. End of story. She only had one weapon to use to gain their possible freedom and she used it. What's the problem? Should she have only tried half heartedly to save her husbands life?

The most likely other outcome was that he would be shot. Then she would have been raped and shot by these nice ethical terrorists.

Instead of that they now they have 40 years together as a family making babies and memories. I'll bet he doesn't ever piss her off though.

After all she risked and all she sacrificed people still expect him to react like a 2 dimensional cardboard cartoon character and discard her. After all of that she did to save his life.

I can imagine that conversation. Thanks for saving my life, but yo can fuck off. You're nothing but an unfaithful slut. A whore, fucking another man in front of me. A prostitute, using your cunt for personal favours.

Yeah good one.

I assume that even in this fictional world, her previous life would have to be kept secret from everyone as a part of National Security, or under The official Secrets Act.

She could not have told her husband of her former life, that she was trying desperately to run from and forget, even if she wanted to.

This is probably a case of

Maricans will love it because... patriotism....

Most of the rest of the world's population will think it is at least fucked up.

She betrayed him, and if she had shared her knowledge with him, discussed the risk of this trip or something, this might have been avoided. But now, hopefully, he will thank her for saving his life and divorce her afterwards.

I mean, the trauma alone (hostage, betrayed, lied to - no matter how noble the reason) will make him a prime PTSD candidate, he doesn't need the reason for his upset next to him.

5 stars. Original. Mysterious. Entertaining. The churlish comment about Americans and patriotism notwithstanding, captivating. And buried in all he drama, a really touching love story. Well done.

Before we married, I told spouse about my past. Not all the details, and certainly OPSEC and NDAs still applied. But spouse knew (in general terms) what I had been, and what I had done. Accept it, and me, or don't.

The very idea of not sharing at least that much is bizarre. One should expose enough of oneself to be honest to a partner.

bye bye so sorry nope

Very interesting story - nice plot line and description by MC. Can’t understand many comments- the author controls the flow. If you don’t like the premise fine but the story was well written. 5*****

What a delight!

Row row your boat gently down the stream WHAM!

Loved it!

All your stories are about wimp husbands taking back disgusting shithead wives. Write something about a man who has at least a sliver of self respect.

While I hate the idea of a spouse doing what she did, I've decided to look at it as rape.

She didn't *willingly* have sex with the terrorist(s), she was forced to.

She didn't *willingly* humiliate her husband, say and do hurtful things.

She did those things to survive. And not just for *her* to survive but to try to ensure that her husband survived.

Sure he's got these actions in his head now, but if a gun was actually pointed at his head and they told her to act a certain way, would he believe it was voluntary?

It'll be hard but he should work through it...

1*- bunch of horse shit.

Didn’t see That coming. Good writing … no, talented! The wife as “the man.”

Why was he chosen for all those trips?!

Totally ineffectual!!!

He wimpy nothing and she is Jane Bond!

No

WTF? I'd keep her, just in case of future troubles, street muggings, etc. LOL Why was he sent to Damascus?

Great Story!! Loved it!!

I love this Femdom agitprop shtick with hapless males and super-human females who love each other.

I really liked the story but as usual the endings of the stories you write are too rushed.

Not sure how he can stay with Anna. The premise is so over the top! She clearly wears the pants in the family! How does a wimpy guy keep someone like Anna interested. She admits she’s an adrenaline junkie and he’s not.

God forbid he ever cheats on her…she’d cut off his genitals and shove them in his mouth! Ouch!!!

All in all I liked the story, well written and suspenseful. Interesting premise and way above the LW schlock that appears on Lit. 5 stars for originality.

There's no coming back from the imagery...her words...the way she effortlessly just slipped into the cheating cunt persona. And her entire history was nothing but lies.

Nice fantasy that he'd love her enough. Need her.

But the entire premise is ridiculous. So..

He wouldn't be assigned trips like this. Fun read though.

Brilliant. It was well done. Thank you.

Fucking awful

MC and Anna should go their own way!!!

Weak asshole husband should divorce the slut Anna.

Blondie can join the infidels

An agent's ass!!

Anna is white trailer trash posing a black widow!

Mark is a stupid weak pathetic pussywhipped cuck

Good job....not really believable, but great fun nonetheless. 5 stars

Good story! Sometimes, all we want is a chance to move past what we are towards who we see ourself as. Her actions were hurtful, but her motivation was pure. It was a bad situation that her husband would not have survived. I am conflicted, but I understand, and cannot disagree with her actions.

Not believable, women like this don’t exist in real life because women don’t break records at police academies. Female record sure, but overall records? You must be delusional.

Also Islamic terrorists don’t work like this with infidels. They would never have done this during an operation. Say what you want about them but they are fanatics and very devout, they would not touch a woman like this and compromise the mission. In real life they would put a bullet in her head and be done with it.

The comment below that Muslim fanatics wouldn't touch an infidel woman is simply uninformed. According to the the Hadiths and Koran, she would be a " woman of the right hand", and so having sex with her with or without consent is fully allowed. Muslims regularly rape "infidel" women, even today.

The bit about her being super woman is just nonsense, as another comment points out. The author is far too influenced by the fantasies of fem/Dom agit prop.

Belongs in the Sci-Fi Fantasy category... not Loving wives... this is beyond outerlimits and totally unbelievable... how would anyone ever be able to trust a wife that had kept all her outrageous past secret knowing that if she could do that she could get away with anything and he would probably never find out.

@Slamnuke: Completely agree with you.

@Anonymus, refering to Slamnuke's comment: S. didn't say a Muslim wouldn't rape an infidel, he wrote it wouldn't happen in that situation.

Jesus H Christ everybody. This is obviously satire and lighthearted for FUCK SAKE. As clear as it was to me that she was going to usurp the bandits, it was quite hilarious to read the MC's reaction. He was quite impressed and taken aback while realizing that his wife is able to seriously fuck him up. Great sophomoric humor and entertaining.

Hey anon from 2 months ago. This is not satire.

Satire: the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly I the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

This story doesn't employ satire.

Satire would be like South Park or Family Guy. Or Animal Farm.

What would this satire be about? That man is inherently weak and needs a woman to protect him? In order to do so she absurdly turns herself into a well experienced whore and humiliates him in the process of saving him right before she turns into cold blooded killer? Yay for women empowerment.

Right. This author sure skewered toxic masculinity with this one.

She shouldn't have had to fuck around on the husband who she loves because Americans shouldn't go to Damascus in the first place. If there was legitimate business to be done, hire local legal representation or handle the business outside that country.

Then, of course, we wouldn't have such a wonderful story.

2nd reading… still a great story. Tough subject matter. As for the comment section; too many immature keyboard warriors willing to just dump her. 1: She hid her past for the hope of a normal(ish) future. 2: Everything she did was with the intent to protect her husband and get them both out of there alive. 3: In the aftermath, her main thoughts were for the mental well-being of her husband. - She clearly loves him, and their life together. It’s easy to forgive her for choosing to put her past behind her. It wasn’t described in depth, but with further consideration, it’s easy to understand that it was clearly devastating for her.

So you could either condemn her for her actions, or you could choose to understand her intent and motivation. She played a necessary role to protect him.

"XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS" twaddle combined with fem/ Dom agit prop. This kind of bullshit can only be written by a feminized man. It's not merely stupid. It's intellectually dishonest and culturally toxic. It doesn't matter that the prose flows well.

When I started reading this story I thought it was just the normal LW but as soon as Anna started coming on to Omar I lost it. Like Mard said, her 'behavior was so far out of the ordinary' that I just skimmed through to the part where she rescued Mark. I know this if fiction but holy crap, I was pissed at her until I realized she did what she had to do to keep Mark and herself alive. It would be hard to live once the smoke had cleared but I'm thinking Mark would get over his shock and take her back. Not sure if I could do that or not. Still give it four stars.

Anna did what she needed to do to save her husband and herself. But her main goal was to save ger husband. Only by humiliating him was that possible. She hated and pretended for Kabir. She has more than enough training to pull that off. And she mercilessly butchered the asshoel when she had a chance. Every hood special agent or assassin has a bit of of a sociopath compartmentalization in their tool set. While they will need counseling, and the husband some therapy to get past what he saw, her allegiance and love for her hsuband is simply unassailable. If people that that is cheating, then they have a screw loose. Imagine if instead the wife was forced to have sex in front of the husband to save his life. It hurts to see, but how is that cheating? That is rape. This situation was virtually no different. She did all the mental calculations and examined possible scenarios and determined with her training and expertise that this was they only her husband (and maybe her) gets out alive. When the opportunity presented itself she struck fast and without mercy. Kabir was stunned. Besides it wasn't just Kabir and his henchmen, it was also the security forces that woukd storm the hotel and didn't care much about civilian casualties. Hence she chose to act and made the right decision to save their lives. Her remarks on the last page are very telling. No one would want to go through his soul crushing agony, and he knew nothing of her past, but she clearly lives for him. Any therapy is for him to get past the PTSD and the imagery and humiliation, like any normal purpose woukd need help in doing. She doesn't need therapy. She flipped a switch and did her job, compartmentalizating her emotions. Her husband is her therapy. With his love and support, she is whole. This really isn't even about reconciliation. It is about being victims, sacrifice, and trauma. They get through it. Great story. 5 stars. Lot of commenters either didn't read it fully or missed the point nonetheless.

WOW! Great story and so well developed. Thanks 5 stars.

Why do you ask for comments when younger use them, including brand new stories. You have just wasted my time.
