All Comments on 'February Sucks Only If You Let It'

This is a decent variant on a theme completely worn out in the last six weeks. There is enough new thought in this one to make it worth a read.

Yeah. Officers. Who could not fight out of a wet paper bag, by and large. Be afraid of the sleepy eyed killers in the back rank and the hard eyed Sergeant who leads them. Officers. Okay, we'll go with that as a "better than" thing. Funny part is I used to be that hard eyed Sergeant. Had a couple of interesting conversations with "Officers" during my time in. Usually ended at Bronze Star with V or "how DID you get the Croix de Guerre?"

Just saying. A college degree in underwater basket weaving does not make you a hero. The kid from the barrio of East LA? HE'S a hero.

5 stars

Short, Sweet, and best remake of GA’s tale!

Did not like.

Good job at being both logical and human. thanks

Best of Breed. A real 5*

I think it's time to leave the "February Sucks" franchise alone on top of its well deserved pedestal and stop insulting it with unnecessary alternates!!!

Agree 100 percent with StrappySandals.

Why do so many Loving Wives authors parrot the old trope of staying together for the children? It's not true. It's only better for the children if the couple can truly reconcile. In cases like this, where one spouse becomes the warden/parole officer for the other it never does. The relationship changes and that affects any child negatively. It damages how they perceive a healthy relationship and marriage. It's always better to have the children raised in a happy home with a happy family.

Most times that means mommy and daddy can't be together anymore.

I have been thinking about this recently, with the resurgence of the FebSucks storyline. The original premise was the candid admission from a small group of women the most, if not all, women would drop panty, if propositioned by the right Adonis. The shock value of that revelation was that it wasn’t premeditated but rather spontaneous. So when a story, like this one comes along, and adds the planning ahead addition, I feel that it really doesn’t carry the original plot idea. so, while having a somewhat novel idea of Jim’s reaction, I don’t believe it fits the original to intent of the story and challenge.

I almost gave this story a pass. I don't normally read stories that grade under 3.9 or 4.0.

those kids will grow up with or without you, your first responsibility is to yourself. Nice and short tho-5****

Hell yeah!

Maybe a 2, doubt it should make a 3.

not one of the memorable versions

Why do so many people who hate FebSux read clearly marked FebSux stories then whine about it? Don't they get enough CuckTails to keep them happy?

I liked it. For a moment I expected the usual "I'm a Navy Seal..." nonsense, but the wine and knife were clever. The insights at the end were, too. There really is no way to know what she intended, but she did worry too much what her friends would think and too little what her husband would think.

This had a new angle, and coming up with something different is appreciated. I can't say I liked it though due to the resolution of the married relationship. If you need to check up on your wife for a year, the relationship is dead already. Healthy kids, that are successful college graduates, that come from divorced couples, are around everywhere. However, the story flowed smoothly, and the resolution, while not to my taste, is not illogical, so I can't hold it against a writer that the writer wanted his story to go in another direction.

I am confused by a few things. The MC is a former military officer and can turn on and off his "combat mode"? How exactly does that work? The MC just happens to be besties with the manager/owner of the club? The MC sees incontrovertible PROOF that his wife and her friends set this whole thing up, yet he takes her back?

Liked the name LAVALLEMERDE. Laval is a place and Le Merde would translate as The Shit.

So Jim heard Dee say that Marky would pick a woman to return the next day? Then didn’t immediately tell Linda about consequences? Then when her text didn’t immediately say ‘no’ to Paris trip, he didn’t leave her at the hotel?

This is one of the worst editions of this story. Good thing you don't allow voting on it because this would have gotten a 1.

So even after they leave the club, Linda is still scheming and would go with Markey to Paris ... and, yet still, Jim decides to have another child with her. We always hear how delusional Linda is, but I think Jim outdid her in the delusional department this time.

One of poorest versions of this tale.

I've been waiting on this variant and it's good, but it was apparent she intended to go to Paris with Marc, so she had intent even AFTER everything that happened. So I would not have stayed with her.

Just for the record, and speaking as a person whose parents stayed together for the kids, it was pure hell and we kids more often than not were the victims of substantial collateral damage. When they finally did divorce, life got a LOT better for all involved.

What I find fascinating is that, socioeconomically, men tend to marry down while women tend to marry up yet 90% of divorces are filed by women.

BRAVO!!! Finally an ending I can identify with; I loved it. If you were open for grading, five stars for sure.

5 stars

too put this tired old nag back in the barn and to bed! No stars.

A different version to the same useless story. What happens next, is Marc caught having sex with an animal? Or getting one of the husband to allow him to have anal sex?

Dave got Jima back is the best moment.

Started out as a 5+ then disintigrated to a 1. There was little doubt the lying slut would be in Paris the next week. Why you wimped him down to a life with a cheating whore is known only to you!

2*

Wonderful, 10 stars! Asshole finally got his, and his cronies paid, too. Dee, the whore, didn't fair well, either! NICE!!

good version

Awful

An umpteenth highly irrealistic RAAC in line with the endless fetish-cuck bombing. Nothing new.

The line "Yes, we're still together. Why did I stay? The primary consideration were the children. A broken home usually means broken children." is almost always false.

Children will live better with separated parents, living a new more stable life, than within a family destroyed by an irresponsible and immature betrayer wife.

HELLLLLLL YES

Just another fempov promotion for the irrealistic free-cheating-without-consequences. This is more a fempov fairytale for the slut wife and hell for the sheep husband.

Another cuck-raac fantasy with the usual husband acting without a male brain. Tons of these already here.

Five stars!

Ditto StrappySandals.

Another good one

I see.my first comment is gone, so I will try again. This is a welcome new wrinkle, which is true of all the recent ones. It is also a solid four stars.

JPB NOT BOB

So all her pleading to him was about just dancing and rubbing it in her friends face. No sex. But this guy doesn't tell her to her face that she said she would go to Paris the next week when Mark asks her? How does that not get mentioned and considered? She did NOT have an epiphany. She played the cuck to the max.

Not good. He should have divorced Linda.

The knife was self defense. This didn't happen in a government school where the useless, woketard "highly trained education professionals " have abolished the right of self defense so that a kid defending himself from a bully is punishment for defending himself. Consequently, the bit about Dave and the knife was irrelevant.

There was no basis for forgiveness. Linda even continued to plot to fuck around after she was caught. That drops this to a 1.

An umpteenth attempt to sell the idea that a cheated-cucked husband should take his cheating-whore wife back for the "best interests" of their children. The only best interest in these cases is that of the slut betrayer wife, that don't want the inevitable divorce and let the world knows what kind of a whore she is. Just one of the too many unbelievable cheating-cuck "alternative" feb-suks versions.

Where are the RAAC and cuck tags ?

5/5 Stars. Oh… wait… the ratings are not available at the moment. Shame. Of all the versions, this is very much how I would see myself handling things. Yanking my wife back down to her seat when Asshole invited her to dance.… dealing with Asshole in the bar… exposing Dee as a slut and humiliating her verbally… hustling my wife out of the bar and up to the hotel room… ripping Linda’s phone from her hand and reading her emails and texts… Everything is how I’d see myself handling things… Right up until the point that I read about the planning that went into the evening, and finally after reading that his wife was replying to the text saying that she’d go with Asshole to Paris. After reading everything on the phone, at that point it would have been a divorce for me. No matter how much she begged. No matter what kind of epiphany she had. Divorce would be the only acceptable ending for me. Again, great story!!! BRB

Hmmm. Good luck buddy

Skub,

Yeah 3.75 is about my limit unless I’m familiar with the author. Still deciding what I think about this one. Sure wouldn’t have had the last baby.

Amusing. But, come on authors. Let this story line die the death it deserves.

Nice paragraph. I hope you feel better now

5 stars! Just saying. Original and well written. Thank you for adding to the FS universe.

Love it. Humor and define nice win the day in this version.

One of the better 5 star versions

Yet another take.

A real man will take the high ground as in this story. Most Anonymous comments have no concept of the difficulty of writing. Excellent effort, five stars. Grace or mercy is a sign of the quality of an individual.

Good enuf version, i do enjoy when marky suffers some form of grievous bodily harm

brutal. not bad or wrong, just brutal. I liked it. Quick thinking on Jim's part. They used to give stars out for good stories..........? Thanks.

The BEAR

Good job with the story. Thanks for your writing.

5****** Hooyah

The author wants the praise, but afraid of getting blind-sided on the score. There were many stories written after George Anderson dropped the basis for this story on us, and I think I have read most of them. In my opinion this one is a 3 at best.

Like it

Added nothing. Why bother?

Any version where Mark gets shorts an automatic 5.

Kind of ho hum actually. So many of these around and many better than this.

Great Ending.

enjoyable for the most part.

Thanks

Great little story!

All the wife's excuses were pure lies! She was ready to go to Paris with the Asshole, even after everything that went down. No way would I have taken her back.

I completely agree with the comment left by looking4it. The planning beforehand changes the entire outlook of the story. 2.5* at best.

Not as good as the other GA aligned stories..

DOL

Wow.

So called toxic masculinity allover the place.

As if only violence could solve problems.

Stories like this make us men look bad.

Luckily there are still some that are strong, but prefer to use their brains as well.

The valley of shit? Priceless. Good story. Linda would be on a very short leash. Perhaps required puppy play twice a week. 5 stars.

Fairly original take.

.

Don’t understand why he still didn’t dump the bitch. Her phone proved that she was absolutely going to fuck tne guy without remorse.

.

3 ***

Really like "Pinto931 " comments. They describe perfectly the character you created. This has been one of the best endings to what has become the go to for another ending. Great characters, although you never called the ex Army vet by name but you definitely gave him a new attitude.

"I've never seen that side of you before," - Maybe because he's never seen the slut side of her before.

\

"Mark asked me to dance with him, and he was such a nice gentleman." - He didn't JUST ask her to dance. The "gentleman" insulted Jim and announced that he'd be bringing Linda home the next day.

\

If Dave had the knife, why was there still one knife per person on the table?

\

Would have been a three if you allowed scoring.

A broken home usually means broken children ...what horseshit!!! Staying with a disrespectful cheating whore slut means broken children. Staying for the children is never a reason for staying. Bounce the whore and move on. Her story about how she wasn't going to have sex with him..is just that...a story.

Didn’t think the husband could be written as more of a wimp than in the other stories. Good job!! He truly is what readers here seem to classify as a full blown WAAC job (wimp ass castrated cuckold). What a terrible way to live having to track your wife for even a second never mind the rest of m of a miserable life. As usual your writing is top drawer. Extremely well

paced and the a wonderful balance between dialogue and narrative. Full 5&FAV!!!

Oops no star scoring. Fav and Follow then

It's pity we can't vote.. 6 stars for a really fun new take

I see some of the negative comments and think they're unwarrented. You wrote a good story along the F.S. lines. Often women do plan and scheme behind your back with other women. It happens far more than we think it does and it doesn't involved NFL athletes but coworkers, business owners and such.

Good that you wrote a story where the Good Guys win without too much mahem!!!

Trite

Please can I wake up some day and not see another of these stupid Feb. Sucks stories?

One of the better versions.

I liked it well enough to have given it 4 stars if voting were possible. At least Linda learned her lesson, and Dee got what she deserved...a divorce.

Another tale over done!

5 Stars from me

A+ 5*****

I can't say this was a faithful adaptation of the original, but at this point, those have been completely overdone. This felt like you were almost going for the full crackfic treatment, but stopped short. Kind of wish you had just gone full ham on it.

Linda was planning to go to Paris with Mark the following weekend and got caught at it! She will ALWAYS be unforgivable.

I understand why you turned scoring off. 2*.

I love the ending for Mark...

Disappointed

Sloppy work ⭐️⭐️

I'm favoriting this and give you an honorary 5 Stars!!!
