Well, the pictures may be pre-partum or post-partum but the latter means she has been away from the house long enough (or enough times) to have reunion(s). The former means that Hubby let Sweetie get to delivery knowing it probably was not his child. Either scenario has problems. The pre-partum option is remarkable unwise. Hubby should not have paid for the expenses, suffered the stress + insult, nor let her rehab under his roof. Nor allowed his name put on her child’s birth-certificate. Finally, his dry spell would have been more like a year or more!
The post-partum option means that he must have had some unreported (to WTR) suspicion of her affair, to be willing to put out the coin for a PI. Why Hubby would wait after the DNA test (definitive evidence which removes any doubt of her disrespect) for a 3 month dry spell is bizarre. But a new mother (especially nursing) is very unlikely to leave the house and divert attention from the new-born for enough time to restart a tryst!
Sorry … the premise is just weak! 3*
Very. Covered a lot, very well, using a small amount of text. Didn’t lose any impact despite the brevity.
This is one of those stories, where a sequel from her POV might really be entertaining. She must have had some reason for staying in the marriage… and some reason for being upset that he’s leaving.
I DON'T LIKE STORIES WITHOUT RESOLUTION. AND BY THAT I MEAN WHEN DOES BILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES?
Nice to have a well laid out plan and see it to fruition ! Well written - didn't need to be longer.
As there's no aftermath i can only give it a 2. I know you dont do aftermaths but hey, thats your deal. 2*
Well done, just as you presented it, not new, but nonetheless entertaining. On your retirement, it is remarkable how quickly my “empty” schedule filled up, once I retired. I have actually considered going back to work just to get a bit of free time! Lol. Looking forward to your next offering.
First and foremost , my condolences for your loss . The rest I have to say is simple praise for your work and I’ll leave it with that and 5 stars
I'm sorry for your medical concerns & loss of a loved one. Never easy. That being said, the story was good but I feel it really didn't have an end. Should've written about his move out, her reaction to that & the divorce (& where it was), and what happened on the alleged GNO. Did she think he'd change his mind? Either way, a continuation's needed. I rated this 3 stars, but finishing it could've produced 4. A shame, because it's well written otherwise. Bob
Pretty good story, yeah life happens, my wife passed three years ago, I had three grand kids get married, my oldest daughter has cancer, two of my kids got covid but it only lasted a week, I'm ok at 80 but my joints Are failing, so I can emphasize with you, thanks for the story
A friend of mine, dude 3 months younger than my 25 years and eight months old now, he committed suicide because he couldn't bare living with a white for a wife.
So many people do.
In the end, you'll always realise that the most important thing there is to this world is your breath.
Fuck everything and everyone else.
You're still a man as long as you don't give in to depression
I personally don't like these tiny little Teasers, -silly little fragments of a story that stop abruptly just as they begin to poke a little interest, but the very minute that starts to begin, they just suddenly
This is it? Unfinished. Did she even come back for the baby. Damn. ya'll should have been paying attention in English class. A story has a beginning,a middle, and an ENDING.
I'm forced to give this 2 stars. Up to what's written, I was debating maybe a 4. But the story's not completed. She left, he obviously went to finish putting things in his car, but what then? So hence the 2. Bob
It is good but it is not completed only a good start to a story! I still have it 4 stars just because it is different than what I have seen recently or can recall. I see lots of potential for a story going forward and would enjoy reading it.
Please do keep writing when you can and I will keep reading.
Excellent story. Unfortunately it is not finished and demands a follow-up.
Good story but sorry for the family problems. They do seem to come in bunches so with a bit of luck the future will be brighter. People wanting a finish to this story can supply their own, my finish has him taking off in a cloud of dust like the Roadrunner .......
Story seems finished to me. She leaves making it obvious that the marriage is over. He seems to have a great attitude about the end of their marriage. Revenge should have happened but short of destroying them it would probably be the same old, same old. Story critique: Loved the soft confrontation. She really didn’t seem worth much more effort.
need to finish the story. what happened to Christie? did she get burned? why start a story and leave readers hanging? Come on Farmer_son!
I’m sorry but that was one fucked up story. He’s going to baby sit for the slut so she can go fuck her boyfriend? He should have told he she’s not going out because the baby sitter just quit. Instead you make a willing cuckold out of the loser. One star and that’s being generous.
Wtf. An exercise in self flagellation? He decided to suck it up because their is such a huge upside? Preaching the cuck religion? How do you score a negative number?
oh he was willing to have been a cuck but not continue in it good for him, I guess well written easy flow a short but enjoyable read
Well done but I wanted more, I want to see the MC get on with his life and find someone worthy of him.
Total pussy, if you are a coward with little to no self-respect who refuses to enforce consequences upon women for their behavior and disrespect , then you are a huge part of why women these days all walk around feeling self-entitled and that they can do and act however they want free of responsibility or consequences placing any faults on their husbands and leaving him to deal with the reproductions. It has become a very sick and sad world and our accelerating trip to hell is because when good men fail to act evil women go rampant!
Aftermath? Why do we need to read about bull-shit counseling (which not all states even require). arguments over assets, etc.

As for Bill, he's an asshole, but he never swore fidelity.Christie did.
Perfect! Normally, I would prefer a more complete ending. However, this ending worked for the short story.

Incredibly bad writing. What a waste. Don't know anyone can get such enjoyment out of making a character so pathetic but you did. That kind of thinking comes from a very twisted and ugly heart. You should get some mental health counseling, and some help to figure out what's wrong with the heart.
I don't really understand the anonymous from 11 days ago calling the main character pathetic. If anything, he took
a devastated self and built himself back up, leaving at the right time. The hinted at reckoning for his delusional
wife, saddled with an infant child, divorce and a lover who will probably bail was great.
Kind of disappointed with the lack of crying, wailing, smoking craters, and blood running in the streets.
What was disappointing was that he let her go out while he stayed to babysit. He should have left her with the baby. The story is also missing any sort if payback and aftermath. Best I can give it is a 2.
Glad to see a newer story. Hope everything with the family works out in your favor!
If she is not burned at the stake or stoned in the public square, the pathetic little BTB wannabe men can't get their poor excuse for a pecker erect.
Looks like ic69hunter is triggered, obviously think women shouldn't ever have to be held accountable for their actions, understanding that you have to face the consequences of your actions is what separates real men from all the snowflakes in the world, that is why we call them snowflakes because they are equally guilty for the damage and destruction an avalanche causes, but refuse to accept that it is in any way is their fault. Typical of narcissistic self-entitled people that it takes courage to do things, NO! It takes courage to understand and face all the consequences of one's actions. If anything the stories on this site rarely if ever have whore wives suffer or face anywhere near what they deserve but I guess like they say only God can sentence them to eternal damnation cause that is where they are all headed.
Nice story but missing the what happened after. Moreso, he told her to go to her "girl's night" while he babysits the child that's not his. Should've told her to go, but pack the rest of what he wanted & leave before she had a chance to do anything.
To "ic69hunter", I agree with the commenter a few days before me. The wife has to know that there're consequences for her actions- in this case, her having sex with her old bf & not her husband, then getting pregnant by whomever, she's ultimately responsible for the child. "Ic69hunter"'s comment is just outrageously idiotic, which leads me to believe she's part of the FLM society.
Nice story, but the author makes the husband wimpy in his actions. Yes, he's divorcing her, but also staying at home while she's going out after betraying & disrespecting him. So, 3 stars Bob
I was hoping for some follow up. Lets hope the asshole that knocked her up wants nothing to to do with the kid and she has to start out all on her own, time for the stitches to heal.
Glad he had the patience to leave on his own terms when he was strong again. Personally, I doubt if I could have.
If he was leaving he would screw up her night better by giving child to her and leaving right then.
…is that the MC essentially won an argument with a stereotype. I never got a sense of her personality, other than she was a cheating shrew. That’s not a character, it’s a required LW trope.
The female characters in a lot of the stories here, this one included, lack depth. Often, little more than the discovery of the cheating is described. She’s just a thing to be hated.
I would take the bitch's kid drop it off at hospital or church than take my shit and disappear let her deal with the aftermath.
This was a nice short story about Trevor catching his wife, Christie, fucking around on him. She was preparing to go out with the girls that night when he laid on her his photographic evidence of her fucking her ex-boyfriend and he gave her proof that the three-month-old baby he was helping her care for was not his. He gave her his copy of the divorce papers with his signature on it and told her that she would be served later that night. He also informed her that she wauld not see him when she got home because he was moving out that night. He put the baby to bed and I hope he got someone to come over and sit for the baby until Christie got home. But that is how the story ended because after Trevor told Christie all of this information, she still went out with the girls that night. So this is the end of their marriage and she does not seem to have any remorse about it at all. Trevor dodged a bullet by divorcing this cheating bitch. He needs to move on and have nothing to do with her or the baby after this night. Good story. Five stars, for sure.
WTF so Bill gets away without a good beating? Wife got her fucking to raise a kid for the next 18 years, most likely by herself..
Average, which is the definition of three stars. Actually, below average, so it is a mercy three stars.

JPB NOT BOB
"I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM IN MONTHS." - She hasn't "seen him in months?" They've been married for ten years; now there are different definitions of "seen," but she should have "seen" him at all!
~~~
Adding insult to the injury of cheating, she continued holding out on her husband when she was able to fuck.
~~~
"I then came to the conclusion that she was continuing to meet Bill and that it was time for the final confrontation." - Why did it take the GNO to come to that conclusion when he had photos from a month before?

Scare quotes in written dialog mean the same thing as making air quotes, so if you put scare quotes in the dialog, you don't have to narrate that air quote were made.
