Seriously? She breaks up his marriage because she wants him, not because Jill doesn’t deserve him....and you want us to believe he’s going to transfer his affections just like thst?
No one on this planet can go from loving one person to suddenly loving another person.
You’re a dumbass who shouldn’t be allowed to write.
This story (verbatim), was posted on this site or another site, not to long ago. Maybe the character names were different. So I can't give it an honest score.
She lied to him for years, all so she could get what SHE WANTED, not so he could get what HE NEEDED
.
In some ways she is WORSE than Jill, sure Jill was a lying slut, but Jill had a screw loose
.
Myra was far more deceptive, and cruel, she was willing to let him stay married to a slut so she could be near him, she doesnt love him, she loves the way her interpretation of him make HER feel
.
In that manner she is exactly like Jill
Extremely well written, but of course, I knew it would be when I saw you had over a thousand followers. You didn't announce that this was a part 1 to be continued which was a bit of a downer. I don't exactly know where you would go with a 2nd part, but my choice would be that he go back to Jill after realizing that she really was just looking for the occasional stimulus sex and really did love him. Keep it up
i can describe the story in one word'YUCK'. When he is getting a threesome with Myra he is ok with it... talk about his values! What a POS!
He is a fucking idiot if he gets together with Myra. She said nothing for two years, only getting involved when she was was positive she could blow up his marriage and stake her claim.
Lets get this straight, she knew your wife was having an affair with her husband she knew your wife was having an affair with her boss and she flat out lied to you when you asked her about your wife having an affair......and you think she is good potential wife material.....all I can say is if your dumb enough to get fucked; you should get fucked
Good stuff, well written. Looking forward to the rest of it. You earned my 5 stars. Thanks for posting.
Cute little story with no real surprises after reading so many stories in this category. Jill will not be missed I'm sure but Myra is a clever character it will be good to stay alert especially if she decides to have you participate in making a sibling for Stella! Good Job, 5***** Thank You
Let's see where this is going...Telling the truth I didn't like the ending of this part...So I'll wait for the next part to vote. If it ended here I would vote 2*
His wife was a cheating slut and Myra has proven that she is manipulative and cannot be trusted. If she really was a friend and loved Derek then she would have told him about Jill’s affair with her husband instead of blackmailing Jill for the threesome. Myra still went on to tell Derek about Jill’s cheating proving she cannot be trusted to keep her word.
Derek starting a relationship with Myra proves he is a dumbass.
A sequel is only good if he burns Myra for how she played him and Jill.
1 star
Well-written story but he is making a mistake getting involved with Myra. He recognies he should avoid her for her deceit, but is still getting involved? Just no!!!
It's not a very convincing end to the story. Derek and Myra getting together was far too quick and manipulated. I felt as though you struggled to portray Myra as Derek viewed her originally. Its obvious that some of what he thought is true but she also has a very mercenary side that is equally present. The story would have improved if this was examined further and Derek didn't just allow himself to be positioned throughout. Besides the confrontation with Jill, he lacked agency. Everything was predetermined and he simply played the role created for him. That alone would give most people pause and take the time to reflect and consider how they move forward. Here Derek knows he is being positioned, resents it but still allows it. The relationship was started on a lie and blackmail. Jill isn't entirely wrong in her feeling that Myra destroyed the marriage. Jill cheated but Myra planned HOW it would be destroyed. As I said, mercenary.
Anyway, there is a really interesting story in here but it requires more character development and story plotting. -starsong77
Damn! I hate these cliff hangers. You better have part two ready to go soon or I'll come back and knock a couple stars off the 5 I all ready gave you!
Good story, well written (as usual), almost believable (hell very believable)! Really looking forward to the second part. Yeah, yeah I know you warned us this was a two parter but the way this part ended feels like a ruined orgasm! Drained but still horney! 😒
Cheers, my friend! You are still one of my favorites! 😊

PS: I checked out your Amazon offerings. Hated the insecure wimp in "Father by Love". Good story bad character. Down loaded the other one let you know when I read it.
Poor bastard, ambushed and manipulated by scheming women. He got rid of the cheater, and yes she deserved what was served to her. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Now the question is, should he get rid of Myra, she too is guilty of underhanded play. She too is a manipulative, scheming bitch.
Does he really want or need her??
I have my doubts....
That's a pretty damn good story. And sneaky! You think it's about Derek, but it's more about Myra. I'm looking forward to part 2.
"What an asinine reason for cheating on your spouse—because she could. "
Actually, this is the real reason people cheat in the first place. Cheaters feel entitled to cheat and give themselves permission to cheat.
You need more than that? Well then.... Because of greediness. Because of narcissism. Because of a lack of empathy for others affected by their shit decisions. But the reasons simply boil down to — greed, opportunity, and not caring.
Not one of your better works. Yes the husband left the wife but he is still letting himself be manipulated by Myra, who imho is a bit psycho. The type of woman that you will come home to your bunny boiling on the stove
I wouldn't rate either of these women as loving wife material. Good story though.
Great start. This guy will never find what he needs if he does not get away from both of them. He should stay single and free for awhile. He could put his heart into himself to better himself.
Hate " to be continued " crap but looking forward to the ending. Withholding stars until I see how you handle this situation.
It never gave him pause for thoughts when his wife out of the blue wanted to let him sleep with one of her friends?. Is he stupid?. Most husband's would've realized the only reason after so many years together, their wife suddenly is encouraging and setting up a 3 some with her friend. is cause they're trying to hide their own affair. That way she can claim he did it too. I wouldn't trust Myra either. If she loved him she would've told him. I'm sure if the shoe was on the other foot she'd want to know her husband was cheating on her. Her excuse for not telling him is lame as hell. She was protecting her friend. Plain and simple. Otherwise why not tell him and let him divorce her? Why wait year's to tell him his wife is a cum slut?.
ex-wife is an idiot but at least she was honest about it, and why should be fight for her?
Sorry about the screw up I’m not indicating it was chapter one. I’ll try to figure out how to fix that.
Let them get together and work on those issues. Blackmailing the cheating wife for a three some was so stupid. She should have come right out and told him of Jill affairs. Let the chips fall where they may. How many wife’s want to sleep with different men because they can? That goes for males to. The world is a mess. As is our politics, people who love a despot, wars and murdering another human being . Yet we go on.
A next chapter or two means no happily ever after and more emotional roller coaster for Derek.
Well written and an imaginative plot b
I like it. I would have liked little more lead in with Jill and her cheating, but otherwise I was able to get into the characters. There is a lot of emotional baggage if he gets together with Myra, but everything you've presented so far in the plot lines is believable. I look forward to part 2! 4*
Nice! I thought Jill was a bit too shallow as a character and I hope there is more to her but I liked her initial honesty when confronted.
There are other repercussions for her behavior aside from destroying her marriage. Fucking your boss is pretty stupid even if you're single.
Interesting storyline and looking forward to more.
It needs some interesting curves and twists to save it. There are just no likable or relatable characters in it. The main character is an idiot and seems to ignore red flags and warning signs and taking the wrong path at every stage. The wife is a slut with the most bizarre and nonsensical reason for cheating especially if the hubby was so well built and a sexual dynamo as she said. The friend is manipulator as well as a liar.
I pretty much don't care about or how any of the characters end up. I still can't understand why you keep coming back to the LW category when you do so much better in other categories.
5/5!!!!
.
You paint well with the shades of gray, the subtle, the sublime. That's where the real interaction between story, character and reader occurs. Masterful... I eagerly await Part II!!!
To the Anony who may have leveled a plagiarism charge, a little research would do you well. Bh76 also publishes on SOL. His Twitter handle is in his profile and gives you a hint as to his handle on SOL. And, yes, this story was published on SOL about a month ago. Multiple authors here also publish on other sites, SOL included.
Very good story.
5⭐
I was surprised to see that there would be a sequel.
Everyone criticizes Jill and / or Myra, but no character is exemplary. Even the husband.
But no one cares about Stella.
He shouldn't get involved with Myra knowing she's looking for a long-term relationship if he's not sure, at least to save little Stella.
Thanks for sharing your talent.
I thought it was interesting fun with a more unique twist. I’m not sure I would have responded just as your characters did but that is part of what makes the story interesting. I find it amusing that readers score a story lower because they didn’t like how the characters acted or reacted. I will certainly read a second part. Thanks
Very fast. I'm not crazy about it so far, I was surprised he blew up the marriage so quickly if his life went into the toilet so fast. Because I could? WTF! Has to be more to explain why. Maybe it can be resurrected. Going to hold fire till it gets done.
Thanks all. I am on another site as Brayce Hart. That’s the BH in BH76. I appreciate the concern with story stealing. It happens a lot.
Glad you found A better Lover. It tuff these days to be Happy in love with a wife
Love the real ness of it. MC not just jumping from one to the other without any doubt. Nice to see him questioning Myra's process.
Jack
5 *s. I dont think Ive read any of your stories before, but now Ill definitely go read them. It was a very nice break from all the doormat-husband stories that have proliferated on here lately. Well done. Looking forward to part 2.
Great story, thank you! Surprised that you intend to write another chapter. Looking forward to it.
I agree that I did read this before. Not sure where or when. If I were him I certainly would do Myra. He says she is hot and horny for him. Doesn't mean I would marry her! And I do loves ex wives answer! Finally an honest no bull shit answer. Because she wanted to and because she could! That should be the answer all the cheaters give. Any other answer is just extra fluff. A cheater see's an opportunity and they take it.
Considering the ending of this installment; Derek should remind Myra that she said 'I guess I owe you one.' A good read, so far, thank you!
Do you realize what you've started? This was 3 pages that only served as an introduction to a Romance story. The whole marriage failure with Jill is a separate plot that you just blew right through without any real exploration or explanation. Here is what we know from your 3-page prologue setup: Derek was married to a sociopath cheater and had no clue, so we know Derek is somewhat dense, unperceptive, and has poor instincts. We also learned that Derek uses alcohol as a coping mechanism. Jill was just a prop as part of your Romance setup for Derek and Myra. Myra may be an OK wife but she is clumsy and no smarter than Derek, so maybe they deserve each other. That's it. Three pages and that's what we know about the characters, one of which is now completely irrelevant unless she become homicidal or otherwise attempts to intrude on Derek and Myra.
In the followup of fully expect Derek to end up fucking Myra's mother Ann, who may be the only truly appealing woman in this story.
So, nothing here to rate until we see what this elaborate setup leads to. I will wait to rate the complete project.
Thanks for the effort.
OK, Sweetie1 is gone and good riddance, unless he is OK with a totally open marriage (which should mean no kids!) And a huge condom budget! Even then, Sweetie had a secret affair with a neighbor plus a guy Hubby knows by first name (Steve) AND her boss! That seems much worse than if Sweetie had just done three 1-shot guys during three different business-trips (which would still have been problematic.)
Myra is an easier case. Hubby knows she is willing to outright lie, obfuscate, withhold information and (probably) tell the truth. BUT that also covers probably 95% of people Hubby knows. He also knows she likes him, that they are sexually compatible and that her mom and daughter seem to be neat. That Hubby has offered to start dating her is, to this reader, reasonable. No ring until he has enough data to make an informed decision. Yes, she is looking for a step-dad for her daughter. Stella will be Myra’s priority for several decades, but that will also be truth for any future kids of Myra and Derek. At worst, it will be a gentle re-entry into singlehood. Add in an intro for Hubby to learn something about being around a young child … with two adult tutors!
Promising Start.
You have done a lot better. Myra was just as big a long tern liar as Jill. Not sure how a chapter 2 can save this.... a pregnant Jill and Myra get caught lying/cheating?
I enjoyed it.
Wife fucked around twice "Because she could", so blowing up that marriage is what any self respecting spouse would do instantly if no kids were involved. Mind you the wimps will be all like "Wooh dude I'd love my wife to be coming out of a motel with her boss. Cuz I prefer cock to pussy, just like her."
Not sure how I'd feel about Myra, her shtick is a little off but she's far better than that pin cushion he was married to.
Good story, but the flashing neon that said cheater should have told him. Talk about blindsided. 5 stars; the Bear approves. I'll be watching for the next part. Should be interesting. Don't screw it up, Derek.
Felt Cliched
Well written, but the plot just felt like the same old husband suspects then discovers she cheated, then he goes hung-ho for a cardboard divorce.
Can’t a character act differently form formula?
MusicGuy
Very annoying that you didn't let it be known up front that the story is the first chapter of a series. It's only considerate to state that along with expected number of chapters and approximate publication schedule. Good story so far. Thanks for writing.
A lot of cliches, but I actually really like the choice for why the wife cheated. She's ridiculously hot and a spoiled bitch with a rich husband....so she did it because she could. That felt believable.....nice touch.
Because I could is part of every affair or one night stand. After all, if you couldn’t, you wouldn’t!
Sex is fun; that’s why we do it. If you’re attracted to someone, you at least think about it, even if you never actually do it. Because I could is that next step. It might not be enough of a reason, but it’s an essential part.
This story just confirms the morals of today. "Because I could" shows not real love on her part and myra was no friend.
Wait this was the end on sol . Are you making a part 2? Hope so !Thanks for your time and storys
Nothing pisses me of more than those three little words. "To be continued" WITHOUT any warning at the beginning. Other wise I would not have even attempted to read it until I knew it was completed. That cost you two stars. TWO** for this one
I admire your sussing out the reason "Because I could". That's the reason for almost everything people do, although not a good justification.
1. Found out she is cheating
2. Divorces her
3. Falls into a bottle
4. New love cleans him up
5. New love has a kid which the old one wouldn't give him
I am sure we can keep on going
Only average
A few errors in there, but generally well written. However it's pretty clichéd.
Better to have had Jill not cheating as he can't trust Myra. She doesn't see the difference between cheating and lying (even by omission) about cheating and is willing to lie and blackmail to get her way.
Can only really end in disaster.
A 4 for me. A good story so far but him getting with Mrya so easily after keeping his wife cheating on him twice and then seducing him under false pretenses felt a bit wrong. If her plan was to get him I would have thought her telling him the truth would have worked better rather then the secret keeping and 3-way, such actions I would think would lead to him hating her or even blaming her for his marriage falling apart same as his ex does. A minor complaint and I might change the rating depending on how the story goes, if it justifies him jumping with her so fast.
On the other site where this is published, there is no reference to another chapter forthcoming, so I'm guessing one of these is mistaken.
It's a crime if there isn't a second chapter.
Myra may have had her eye on him, but she absolutely played it the wrong way. I can't see any way that they can succeed considering how their 'relationship' has started.
I wouldn't go for either of them. I would find a third party for a relationship. They both were conniving individuals.
I will wait until the end of the story to rate it. So far is so..so.
Remember: Myra was willing to fuck a married man. Yeah, she got permission, but it was permission via blackmail.
Interesting tale. I'll save most of my comment until after the next chapter but I''m looking forward to it
I liked it but I had a major problem with it. Myra withheld the affair info from him and blackmailed Jill with the express purpose of breaking up their marriage. That level of duplicity is not something I would want to be involved in after dissolving my marriage. I just don't know how she could think that blackmailing Jill into a threesome would be a better option than just telling him and picking him up on the rebound.
I can't imagine why someone that was involved with someone that toxic and he could not tell would even consider someone else as equally toxic.
From Beermaker's "Daydream Believer: The End":
"Then I continued "Jeanne, I do want to know one thing though. Why, Jeanne? No psycho babble, no justifications, just a simple why? Why do it? Why with Steve?"
She sat for a moment, thinking, and looked up. "Because I could," she simply replied."
Well i wouldn't raise a child of a guy that cuckolded me and take a woman who lied to me for years. It's a No
I thought the confrontation scene between Derek and Jill was the best part of the story. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad story. It’s just that as arguing with your spouse goes, this confrontation struck a cord. If you have ever had an argument where it spirals into real anger, all kinds of stuff gets brought up and usually in a way to hurt the other’s feelings. So when I got to this part:
I dried off and walked into my bedroom. Jill was sitting on the bed crying. I couldn't even look at her.
"Derek..."
"Stop!" I shouted. "If you are going to say it was just sex, you love only me, I was never hurt, it doesn't mean anything, or any other bullshit, I don't want to hear it. The only thing I want to hear is why."
She jumped up and shouted, "You want to know why? Because I could, that's why. I wanted to fuck George, so I did. I wanted to fuck Steve, so I did. I wanted to fuck some cowboy when you were in Cleveland, so I did. That's it. I wanted to fuck them and I did."
I stared at her in shock. I couldn't come up with a response to her—I guess it was a confession.
Well, that’s exactly what happened here! Jill has lost Derek and it’s killing her inside. She’s trying everything she can to hold onto him. When she finally gets that he’s gone, all that hurt becomes overwhelming. She lashes out at the only one person there, Derek. I doubt that she realized she clued him to 3 people she cheated with, but the way she did it... because she could... that is wanting to hurt someone else the way she’s hurting. So again, that’s why this is my favorite part of the story. I wonder if that information will come back to bite her in a follow up chapter should there be one. But since they’re divorced now, I don’t see what relevance it would have.
As to Myra, she has an unhealthy obsession with Derek. She tells him how she’s has a crush on him for years and desperately wants the love she sees in his relationship with Jill. Well it SEEMS that she is in a position to get that by replacing Jill. The question is... did she really set all this up to make it happen? Did she somehow set Jill up? Or is she just taking her shot as soon as she can? Actually, this may be how Jill’s admission to cheating with the cowboy may come back up. Not sure in what way, but if Myra got her somehow to cheat and blackmailed her... 🤔
Well, waiting for the next update
Hey Anonymous commenter with all caps, shut the f up you tiny dicked loser. If the guy doesn't scorch the Earth every time, duds like you say the same bs over and over. Why even read a "loving wives" story if you're that insecure? Every f'n time they whine.
Decent story, I've always liked your work.
Good start, we’ll played by Myra. Jill was a cheater for no good reason, and deserved to be shit canned immediately. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.
This story is well written , has strong characters and is captivating , the only real disappointment came at the end , but that’s only because you haven’t released the next chapter yet and it’s left me in anticipation !
I gave you a 3 because of the "He fell into the bottle he was so broken up".
That old cliché bothers me sooooo much.
I hope that you do better in Part 2
@WetheNorth What do you think cheated on people do? Drink tea? No. They down booze to drown their sorrows. Many pull out of the funk and quit the heavy drinking, some don't.
Stella slid another coloring book over and said, "You can color this one. Don't use brown or black." can u explain that? i mean yeah sound innocent enough but why did u choose those 2 colors? really sounds like a vague racist comment or just me seeing it that way but still so many other colors to choose from
He couldn’t use brown or black because they are my little ponies which aren’t brown with black hooves like the next paragraph states clearly. Jesus. Some folks just look for racism everywhere. Bitch at hasbro if you want human race traits extended to their colorful cartoon horses.
Bh76 shouldn't even have to further explain himself, the reason for why he (character in the story) couldn't use brown or black is even explained in the story itself. Bh76, you have no reason to defend yourself, you're good.
@enderlocke77 : Sighs. No... it's not racism every time someone doesn't care for brown or black colours; it has everything to do with the fact that My Little Ponies are all screaming bright colours, matter of fact... -_- Seriously, stop listening to what the far left-wing 'teaches' about racism because many so-called 'SJW's' out there are just as bad as the racists -- it is reverse racism. Racism isn't limited to someone's skin colour, or someone's hair colour. Racism is far-far worse and far more granular and insidious. Remember back when you were in school, The Cliques, the snobs, the jocks, etc. who didn't want to hang out with the pretty nerdy girl just because she wore horn glasses or would rather study than worry about showing off her legs and bust? Well, oversimplified, that is racism: the exclusion of others from something for absolutely NO legitimate, rational, or natural reason other than one's own prejudgement of others often based on things like religion, political ideology, social status, etc., etc., etc. And trust me, racism is a problem, and it is also 100% IMPOSSIBLE to eradicate. And MANY people do it without even realising it. And it's human nature. The problem is when it becomes violent, openly harmful, hateful, and leads to persecution of others like we see it on social media.
The world isn't perfect, and we cannot make the world perfect either because humanity isn't perfect. What we are doing, however, is that we are creating an even worse world right now. Blowing to the embers from an age I (as a European) would rather not see the return of...
BE GOOD TOWARDS EACH OTHER, AND TRY TO RELAX AND GET ALONG, TALK IF NEEDS-MUST! :-)
I will echo the comments of GreyWolf and add my own thoughts.
IMO, MLK had the right idea when he declared he "looked forward to the day when a man was judged not by the color of his skin, but the content of his character." We can learn from the past, but don't dwell on it or shame others for actions over which they have/had no control. For example, my family started occupying space on this continent (USA/North America) in the 1600's, but to the best of my knowledge, none of them ever "owned" a slave. So, while feeling zero familial or personal guilt, I do feel shame at the human race which propagated slavery for at least the last 10,000 years. What is important is our personal understanding that mankind is capable of such evil, regardless of skin color or gender or cultural/religious background. We must each take a pro-active role in battling any bias (much less the resulting rampant bullying) for any reason.
.
Guilting and blaming fellow citizens for events over which they have zero control is fundamentally racist and biased. Choose to support the improvement of our collective lives rather than harass and denigrate others.
.
Being hypersensitive to a color crayon used in a child's coloring book is ludicrous. It indicates lack of rational thought, not to mention an inappropriate reaction to an innocent reference. For heaven's sake, wake up (pun intended), not everything is racist!
.
Bh76, Keep 'em comin'. (and ignore non-literary nonsense)
I do not believe that comment on the colour of the crayons used. Makes me think that the commentor is racist. I for one do not believe in black and white people. We are all shades of brown, from very pale brown to extremely dark brown. Also hints of yellow, oriental, and shades of red, North American Indian. This colour crap has gone on for far too long, it is the character of the person inside the body that is most important. Thank you for another great story.
enderlocke77: please let everyone know when you have posted a story. Then everyone can submit a moronic comment.
BH67: I liked the story; waiting to see the further 'adventures' of Derick, Jill & Myra.
