Epilogue
I found a job in Tampa, close to my parents, and with a pleasant Februaries. The local football team even won a Super Bowl there (without Asshole, it should be noted).
The divorce was textbook--assets split (yes, I had to return her half of the money but making her sweat for a while made me smile) and everything else.
Not surprisingly, some husbands who took offense at Asshole's m.o. ended his playing careers (both of them) prematurely by incapacitating his knees and family jewels.
Emma and Tommy turned into such impossible brats once they heard what caused their broken home that Linda threw up her hands in despair and consented to their moving to Tampa, where they turned into model children. I credited the weather, but having a caring dad didn't hurt.
I had a few friends back home who felt compelled to share the news of Linda's cold-blooded cheating with every guy who dated her a second time. Once she realized what was happening, she found a job in Orlando, so the kids could visit her every second weekend. We split the proceeds from the sale of the house, which enabled both of us to buy a decent dwelling in the Sunshine State.
It's true what all the stories say--sooner or later we find someone we connect with. Nancy was five years younger, divorced with a daughter Tommy's age. Corny to the max, but we are living happily ever after.
Linda took a while longer, but she, too found a guy, much younger, and apparently they found happiness, too. Until he ran into--and left with--someone his age with firm boobs. In a dance club of all places. In cold blood. At least he didn't just disappear--he turned and waved when he left with his new babe. Linda gave up dating and settled into her condo with a few stray cats--at least that's what the kids said.
Karma, it seems, was still alive, even if she seemed to have mellowed a bit in her old age.

Freudzslip69about 1 month agoI was very happy to read the way in which this one played out. The protagonist, Jim finally acts in what I consider to be the proper fashion, and how I would react had I been in that position. One of the best sequels that I’ve read so far in a virtual sea of them.
desecrationabout 1 month agoAbsolute burn but realistic. The wounded husband shrugs, breaks the ties, and moves on.
Anonymousabout 1 month agoSimple. Straight to the point! A sensible MC!
Comments from others. Many just ridiculous as they try to deduce all sorts of things from a fictitious story.
Funperson969, ignore the static and have fun writing good stuff.
Thanks for the great entertainment.
Anonymous2 months agoWhat pathos before freedom. Why do adults act like children and vice versa? She will always remember that night.
ttt592 months agoSo much better than the original Anderson tale that has a spineless loser as the main character. Excellent BTB. Let her live with her idiotic choices.
Anonymous2 months agoFor those of you faulting Jim for being a bad father for leaving his kids, just because the story doesn't include conversations with them, doesn't mean he didn't talk to them. I mean after he got to Florida they came and lived with him. He went to a place where he could get the most support. It's not going to do the kids any good by staying around, fighting incessantly with Linda as they make their way to divorce. Be real. I liked the story a lot.
Anonymous2 months agoWow, someone's salty. Going from the things said the MC never loved Linda, so why exactly should Linda have behaved differently?
Anonymous3 months agoThe basis for it was a group of women who were 100% curb material who hadn't shown it to their partners yet.
consulting913 months agoGood alternative. I do like that Jim took the initiative and immediately left. However that does make him look as cold as Linda for not being there for his children.
But I do like the totally new take on an old classic.
Anonymous3 months agoA very average rendition of this story. Just a couple pointers. (1) however much you like ranting and lecturing you can guarantee that the other person doesn't, Linda would have ended the call, especially if she really was a narcissist and couldn't get a word in edgeways. (2) The second you use insults or swearwords in such an argument the Linda character is always going to focus on that to the total exclusion of the real issue and if she's at all intelligent and the narcissist she's claimed to be, those insults and that swearing will overshadow everything else and firmly place you as the bad guy in any future conversations with her and important others.
Anonymous4 months agoPretty good alternate version to the CUCK's (George Anderson) putrid submission. Still HOPING one day there will be a submission where Linda, "the most HATED CHEATING CUNT WIFE to ever appear in Loving Wives" will be completely and totally eviscerated!
Thanks for your effort!
Anonymous4 months agoGood job but I mean nobody had the nerve to tell them like no when you do something like that behind your partners back that makes you loathsome?
Seriously that's the current low testosterone vanilla newthink.
sbrooks103x4 months ago"I'm back." - She should never have been gone.

"I'm going to make it up to you and be the best wife ever for you." - Shouldn't being "the best wife ever" be the standard?
