"Skimmed through this, BORING!"

Because it was REALISTIC!! Thank you for a GREAT READ! I really love the portrayal of the wife. This is the most realistic portrayal I've read on this site. Notice the realism: no crying, no wailing, dude didn't kill anyone. No, he just did what he had to do to stay true to his principles and that is what makes a man great, if boring.

Not only do you have absolutely no idea about morals in the military, especially in that time period, but you should have learnt about commas, full stops and sentences.

Listen to your readers next time especially those about the military and shit let me be clear very clear no man or woman who is or was in the military will cheat with the spouse of there brother or sister the military is a big family until not only that if someone did they would have been punished 1 they would have been sent to the brig for a time and then would have been dishonorable discharged the spouse who cheated would have been torn to shreds in divorce court they would have lost everything including custody of the kids for the spouse in the military would have had the full backing of the military and government and would have had the best lawyer around which is Jag which only employs the best of the best jag lawyers don't play not when 1 of there own is being fucked over so again you are clueless and apparently you have no damn respect for the military

This story is a clear indication that you're a dumb ass and have no clue what you're talking about it is also a clear indication that you love to disrespect those in the military or those who was in the military by making them a bitch you clearly insulting those in the military or veterans is something no damn body should be able to get behind and those who do does not deserve any respect at all you writing insulting stories such as this about a military personal puts you in the same class and should be shown no respect where you are clueless at is the how shit actually works in divorce especially in those times and situations and location it took place in let me educate you a little if the husband is in the military and seen combat hell don't even have to see combat but it definitely helps the judge would grant the divorce in his favor yes the divorce laws was fairly close then to now with a few differences but the judges and so forth was very pro military back then from the year you stated that it took place no not all civilians was for back in that time was nam and unfortunately a lot thought it was unjust and showed there contempt they had but a judge but law enforcement of any type especially civilian law enforcement had the upmost respect for those in the military he should have filed for divorce when they were living in Norfolk VA that was and still is a very pro military City i was stationed there myself for the first 2 years of my time in the military before I transferred from the navy to the marines 14 years latter I retired as a master sgt

Trumper dickhead. The more preachy the more hypocritical.

phill1cphill1c10 months ago

I liked it. While definitely holding the moral high ground, the MC got very heavy handed and preachy. His wife's sin is not her sexuality, it was her lack of honesty and compassion.

What does "staunchly Conservative" mean in these days and times? Fiscal conservatism ideals have bankrupted states like Kansas and every other poor state in the Union. And social conservatism seems bankrupt when it focuses solely on people not yet alive and leaves the rest of us to die by gunfire. What exactly are people like the MC attempting to conserve? Keeping outsiders outside, I suppose...

But, of course, the MC cannot answer...

I do not understand the MC's estrangement from his daughter. She was 10 years old when her mother had to be hospitalized for emergency surgery. As a young adult, she could no doubt remember that scary time in her childhood. The explanation that the surgery was for treatment of an ectopic pregnancy that was not the biological product of her post-vasectomy husband should make it clear to the adult daughter her father could not be held primarily responsible for their divorce.

First, the paramour remained a LTJG way past the time he'd have been severed from the Naval Service. Also, instead of asking your CO for some time off, why don't you file a complaint against the LTJG under the UCMJ law against committing adultery? The neighbor, Melba, would've been deposed by the NIS (at the time) investigator. Boom. Done. History. We're spared reading the rest of this drivel.

So, what happened to the fear of being court martialed under UCMJ for adultery? Ruined many careers, and not that many of them went to trial.

There was a joke floating around during the very early years of the SouthEast Asia War Games (mid-50s, yes there were US military people in SE Asia in the 50s)

What is the difference between the Air FARCE and the boy scouts? The boy scouts had adult leadership.

Why the put down on the AF? Beginning in the mid to late 50s, a large number of the mid level and near senior enlisted men were retained beyond the Peter Principle - they were promoted beyond their level of competency. As these mid-level and "semi-senior" enlisted men began to feel the heat due to their incompetence, they began to take it out on anyone below them. I received countless complaints that had to be resolved and many promotions that had to be denied due to below standard evaluations.

KRD19254KRD19254about 3 years ago

Interesting, but there is one point that I thought you would stick it to LtJG. When you were on the Admiral's staff - screwing a fellow officers wife is not condoned within. I figure the Admiral would ship that JG with 'for life orders' to McMurdo... Or at least bring him to Admirals-Mast to F the pricks career.

/

OMG, your remembrance of Subic was priceless. First time I ever read "LBFM" in print. Hell when we returned to Subic after our 30days on the gun line my LBFM was waiting for me on the pier the same way I left her 'freshly fucked' insuring I had no reason to butterfly. (my first WestPAC I stayed true as I thought I was married but later WestPAC's when I was single - well I made up for being true. I had plenty of peso-nality even in a jeepnee!

/

My Wisconsin high school sweetheart became my wife in 1974, until she ran off with another sailor to Hawaii while I was in Vietnam. The issue was she split when I was inland and never wrote me, I came back to San Diego to find her missing. Only on RimPAC (three months later) did I accidentally pass her on a Waikiki side walk. I was so distraught that I volunteered to go back hoping I'd catch a golden bullet. The bullet only got my knee cap, still smarted like hell. While on R&R from Balboa I met my current wife 43yrs ago. I did my 10yrs active getting out at the hump as a FTG1/CPO selectee - I realized my new wife was not one that could handle the 5yrs of sea time staring at me, our toddler needed a full time dad. My EX well I think she is on hubby #4, good luck - bitch.

Gotta Call Bullshit

A simple visit to the JAG and LTJG Asshole's career is dead. My best friend came back from a westpac to discover that his wife was back on the pill. Yup, he had had a vasectomy shortly after we returned from our previous fun in the sun, so, in theory, she didn't need the pill. She informed him she was moving him out so her squid boyfriend could move in. ElToro JAG got involved and she was told to get out, or face Courts Martial.

Bebop3 -- to clairfy ::

I got the vasectomy after my third child, a son, was born. My wife complained birth control made her breakout in in brown spots. I hated condoms and were using spermicide foam that didn't work resulting in his birth. Interestingly, when speaking with Mary Jane at the lunch date she challenged the fact she had a tubular pregnancy because she was using birth control pills. I really had to laugh because why was she using the pill? That along proved she was fucking around. But, as I said earlier, she is suffering from Alzheimer and real memory loss. I am nearly a year younger and in perfect health.

Well...

Of course he was a squid. And a wimp. I must say tho that not all squids are wimps. However, at the end of his story where he thanks his unfaithful wife for the way things turned out for him in the end, is a true thing that happens. Some times your enemy turns out to be a friend in disguise. He ended up with a loving wife because of his ex. Some things similar to that have happened to me where I was betrayed by others but ended up smelling like a rose and way better off. A perceived enemy who shits on you may in the end be a real friend who unknowingly showers you with great gifts. Sure was my experience!

Cheating, even moreso with a fellow soilders wife

is grounds for a dishonorable discharge, why didnt he ever press charges?

And why didnt he ever explain to the bitch of the daughter that her mother had a ten yer long affair?

Him having had a vesectomy and her having had a pregnacy after that is proof she was cheating

I SEE THAT THIS IS BASED ON A REAL-LIFE STORY

I read a comment you made on a DQS story and then read this story as a result.

Knowing that it's almost a real-life story made it much more interesting compared to how I would have viewed it as a work of total fiction. I guess all I can say is that you came out on top, and living well really is the best revenge. So kudos to you (maybe there is a god after all?).

As an aside, one of my favorite aircraft is the Vigilante. I saw these aircraft when I attended an "open ship" on the USS America, and the size of them really impressed me.

A note on what I have found out after the story was published ; ~))

I took MaryAnne to lunch a few months ago. Why? I had some loose ends that I needed answers. She is 82 years old, fat, with rotten teeth and uses a walker. She told me a few things that I didn't know.

-- While we were in Key West she was fucking my squadron CO, regularly. I never knew.

-- At NAS Albany she was warned that if her lover continued to sleep over in the base housing she could be evicted. I never knew she let him sleep over with our three kids in the house. I wonder what she would have done if they did evict her?

-- I found Vince on Facebook, one of his three daughter's page. There is a pic of him with a cane, fat, and bald.

I am in excellent health, slim, with a full head of silver hair, and ride a motorcycle. My beautiful wife and I spend a few months each year in Madrid or Venice. We have a large house in Nicaragua with a indoor swimming pool.. We are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary there next month. I have a Porsche, a Jaguar, and Donna drives a 370Z.

Life is good!

AnonymousAnonymousover 6 years ago
I read a few of the comments...

...and I wonder.

There are mentions that the other Lt should have been reported; my guess is that there would have been an element of pride from the writer Do you admit that you are somehow less of a man because your wife is cheating on you? I can't speak for America but from experience I know that there are such things as tour widows in Britain - I was picked up by a MILF in a supermarket in a garrison town and enjoyed several weeks of wonderful and very enthusiastic sex, initially unaware that she was actually the wife of a captain from a different unit to mine (I was introduced them both at a ball after he came back from Stan; we both acted innocent, as you would expect, and he seemed very much in love with her, the poor sap).

I was told that there were frequent wife swapping parties in units based in West Germany during the Cold War, but I was only ever invited to one sex party, and that was very much a multi national affair involving officers and civilians staff when I was seconded to a headquarters complex in Europe for three months. I was promised that there would be around 60 women for the 40-50 men, including some wives; it was probably fortunate for me that a motorcycle accident the afternoon before led to me having to cover someone else's duty.

But if there has been any recent punishments handed out for adulterous conduct unbecoming an officer in the British military then they have been kept very quiet.

Incidentally, is Margaret the real name of MaryAnn that got missed in the pre-publication clean up?

I believe every word

Having spent 23 Navy years, I have had occasions to observe many experiences similar to this one. I was lucky, as a Submariner I had to spend long months at sea without any kind of communications at all. My wife, bless her soul, essentially raised all six of our children almost by herself. She never strayed at all, of that I am certain.

And, we got married at 19. I guess it must me in the genes.

Dismal story with happy ending...

Lots of comments about being a cuckold; well, maybe so, at least by definition. My only question is why douchebag Victor wasn't reported? The UCMJ makes what he was doing illegal and Victor would have been hammered. Oh well.

I can't, in good conscience, criticize any member of the military, especially those serving during the 60's and 70's. Things were bad back then, for military and civilians alike. Remember all the riots? The "summer of love"? Yeah, I was just a little kid, but I still remember watching Walter Cronkite and wondering why everybody was so angry all the time. Everyday. Bad memories. Still a good story because it had a happy ending. Thanks!

Good but bullshit

It is a nice story but it has an air of bullshit.

Civilians don't know squat about the UCMJ... That's military law ..... several articles would fuck LTJG so bad that he would be fucked inside and out then thrown out of the Navy. Especially the fact that other officers at the BOQ would have knowledge of this, LTJG would be standing tall in front of the man having his ass lit on fire.

Even this sorry ass cuckold pussy wimp in the story could have reported LTJG then sit back and watch the BBQ.

On the other hand you will find Deployment Widows in ALL military bases.

Marry a slut back home and bring her to a military base or town is a marriage doomed. The command can't do shit about her but to the LTJG will receive (both while in the military and continue long after he is put out) the Fucking of his life for the fucking he gave.

What happened to the cheating wife

Since this is purported to be a true story, let me answer a few of the questions from my loyal readers. After not having contact with wife one for over five years--she attended my mother's funeral--and with Donna's permission, I took her to lunch.

I was taken aback at her physical and mental condition. First, she was living in a shit hole, two room apt in a bad neighborhood. She was clinically obese, and walked with two canes as a result of a hip replacement. She said she had a quadruple heart bypass operation three years ago. Her teeth were rotten or missing. In trying to converse with her, it was obvious that she was in the beginning stages of dementia.

I learn a few facts during our quite candid conversation. She was unapologetic over her long term affair using my infidelity with WestPac hookers as a quid pro quo. She volunteered the facts of her affair with my CO in Key West (1974).

My daughter, who refuses to speak to me, is saddled with full time care giving.

All in all, I owe a good deal to old Victor. Thanks to the Internet I know where he lives in Northeast Georgia and I may take him out to dinner some day. He did me a great favor.

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 8 years ago

Fascinating, realistic and sad story with happy ending

Congrats. Great story. Four out of five. In sharp contrast to the BTB stories that some people like, this was a very realistic portrayal of how a true life marriage can limp along for years even in appalling conditions. I read from the prologue to your second story that is is semi-autobiographical so I congratulate you on your bravery for telling it. Some readers will be highly critical of you because you put up with your cheating wife for so many years. Don't be put off by them.

I wonder if the last few paragraphs are real? They are in bold print. I hope they are as you clearly deserve some good karma.

I hope this doesn't offend you but I actually had some sympathy for your first wife. The war in the 60s and your circumstances would be very difficult on a marriage. It seemed that she was so in denial she couldn't figure out a way to talk to you about it. I'm not excusing what she did. It was unacceptable. I would love to read a story from her POV. I would also love to know what happened to her after the divorce.

There were a few typos in the story but nothing too serious. You also changed your first wife's name in the scene where you caught her in the boat.

But I do have one constructive criticism. When you first find out your wife had an affair you call her a cheating slut. (I think that was the phrase.) But you admit that you visited prostitutes while married and overseas. Sauce for the goose. You can't have it both ways. In real life people don't always think logically, but the story would be better if is recognized that and addressed it. Regardless I hope you write and post more stories here. Now I am going to read the other comments. I hope they are not too horrible. Cheers Steve

Help

You have an interesting story if written well. What you need is a very good editor to help you put together a good narrative. If you do actually have a university faculty position, it should come with the ability to take some of the courses taught, namely creative writing.

Although a bit interesting, there is way too much irrelevant information, little development of individuals and almost no development of MaryAnn, his wife except she cheats with shithead.

Too bad-had possibilities.

And way too much Navy stuff that added nothing to the story. I don't understand why he didn't report his wife's lover to the Navy? They do have regulations ya know. And at the end it seemed strange that he didn't have a relationship with his daughter. Why didn't he simply tell her about her Mother's actions? Why didn't her Brothers tell her about her Mother's actions? And why didn't he get a Navy lawyer to divorce the slut years earlier? Too many holes in this mess to make for a good read. Get an editor and try again.

FYI

Just a small comment since you indicate that "you" were raised in Illinois and began your marriage there. McDonalds began in California in 1940, set up their new corporate headquarters in the Chicago area in 1955, and made there way to Michigan by 1957 where this teenager hung out after cruising in my parent's car -- for the 25 cent hamburgers in the time of 25 cent gasoline.

Interesting narrative of the Navy Life -- my 20 year older half brother had a similar Navy experience with a cheating wife over his career, so your story had personal impact as well. Decently written if a bit dry.

Best regards,

A super presentation

For those of us that lived through this period of our history, we relate. Thanks for the flashbacks some great and some very sad.. For those that did NOT live through this period it will be tough for you to understand.. Thank you for your service!!!

You Know

Somehow in the end you should have had the ex-whore er I mean wife die of some disease which is very painful. A little fiction to a true story adds flavor. By the way, all cheaters suck.

Brings back old memories

When I was in the Navy, 89 to 95, I saw many things that you described in this story . While based at NAS Norfolk , I saw many different times when a carrier battle group deployed for a cruise , the next night the E-club' would be full of women with the indenting of their wedding band visible on their left finger. I've done many unscrupulous things in my life , but screwing over a deployed shipmate was never one of them ! When I was on USS. JFK' during Desert Storm, I was ordered (though I didn't need to be) by my Chief to personally watch over my best friend after he got a Dear John letter from his wife! We were afraid he was going to take the Nestea' plunge into the Red Sea one dark night ! Many military marriages are doomed because of the stresses that extended deployments cause. Thank you for your story, I enjoyed it because it rings so very true ! 5*
