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.

lujon2019lujon2019almost 3 years ago

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

OdiouserOdiouseralmost 3 years ago

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

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.

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 3 years ago

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

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 3 years ago

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.

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!!!

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 3 years ago

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

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....

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 3 years ago

"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.

Danger09Danger09almost 3 years ago

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?.

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.

As is our politics, people who love a despot, wars and murdering another human being . Yet we go on.

silentsoundsilentsoundalmost 3 years ago

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.

CumminginsiderherCumminginsiderheralmost 3 years ago
I don't know about this story

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.

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 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!

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 3 years ago

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.

LickideesplitLickideesplitalmost 3 years ago
Hubby is OK

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.

muskyboymuskyboyalmost 3 years ago

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?

iameaseliameaselalmost 3 years ago

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.

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.

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 3 years ago

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.

FlynnTaggartFlynnTaggartalmost 3 years ago

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.

Drgnmstr97Drgnmstr97almost 3 years ago

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":

JAFCriticJAFCriticalmost 3 years ago

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

TheGreyWolf81TheGreyWolf81almost 3 years ago

@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...

@enderlocke77

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)

Hornydevil47Hornydevil47almost 3 years ago

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.
