All Comments on 'In-laws from the Planet Stupid'

This just proves that some of the most highly educated people are completely brain dead. 'Stupid is as stupid does.'

What a great “oh shit!” moment for Julianne. I enjoyed this. Felt bad for poor Anastasia. Well constructed plot for such a quick story. Thanks *****

Easy to give this one a 5*

No matter the category this was as good a consequences tale as any. Stupidity abounds.

Five Stars

but very entertaining!

Entertaining, for sure!

What the hell did Lonnie do to get such attention from Elaine and Julianne?

Why try bust up their marriage?

Other than that, great story.

The obvious explanation as to why the in-laws pulled this would be as a baby step to them suggesting a real affair to her. The answer to "If they thought this would work, why didn't they do it themselves" might be "Who says they didn't?"

The wife never actually claimed to have an affair; she just went away for the weekend and told her husband not to wait up for her. It's entirely possible that that's how *they* started as well, and either the husbands were oblivious or the wives weren't so blatant (e.g., gave a cover story about visiting friends).

Doesn't make a lot of sense if the mother *wasn't* actually cheating... but maybe she was.

I'll admit to getting irritated at magical polygraphs in LW stories. In reality, there's a reason why we don't actually use those things in court; they're pretty close to junk science. If we had a magical "I can prove I'm telling the truth" box, you can assume we'd be using it quite a lot.

I think I'm going to believe that the mother is just good enough to beat the polygraph, and left her poor other daughter out in the cold to save her own skin.

... the alternate explanation is that they got the idea from some women's magazine and missed a few nuances. It wasn't so much "Make your husband think you're having an affair, and he'll try to win you back!" as "Is your husband taking you for granted? Go away for a weekend, and he'll realize how much he misses you and shower you with love when you come back!", and they screwed it up.

a fun little yarn. Very appropriate revenge. Having said that, I don't think her family is smart enough to supply half the gene pool for his kids.

Good originality. Quite entertaining.

Lit stories usually follow a set formula. That is not meant as an insult. It is very difficult to have an original idea when you have thousands of other authors writing on the same subject. I really enjoyed this tale and plan to read more of your work.

Thank you, and well done.

5*

I missed the part of the story where Anastasia explained to her husband exactly what was missing in her life that led her to take this chance. I think that there has to be some underlying dissatisfaction with her life for Anastasia to try something like this.

Or, failing that, just what words did the women use to convince her that she had something to gain here.

Even if he went along with it, why did she want to make so fundamental a change in the dynamics of their relationship. He would spoil her? How valuable to her are the attentions of a man that she would no longer respect?

Disrespect - Spoiling done from because of his fear not his love

Being with a partner whose actions are based upon him having been fooled by his wife

I really would like to hear her explanation to him

A very different and interesting story, well done!

Plus a great title.

Not sure what evil mother in law wanted to accomplish - not sure why she would want to break up the couple. I guess she really didn't like her daughter's hubby. The revenge was really done well. Ironic that he met his wife at the sister's wedding.

This was both original and cleverly written. I'm not sure any man has the balls to disappear like he did. Did she deserve it? Probably. Was it smart? Not if he loved his wife and wanted their marriage to survive. But in the long run he got what he wanted from all involved. Although I don't think he could have anticipated the fact that Julianne was cheating on her husband and that his actions would cause her divorce. If Anastasia was planning a divorce because she had someone else that she loved, disappearing plays right into her hands. She never contacts him and by the time he gets back, his things are packed, sitting in the garage and he's being divorced. His abandonment of the marriage won't play well in Court, in front of a Judge. So he definitely gambled when he went the PI, no contact route. There were actually lots of possibilities for this story. Thanks for the effort.

The standard in most states is a year. He wasn't even gone long enough to miss a bill payment.

Plus, at the time he left he seemed pretty comfortable with the idea of his marriage ending.

Oh my God! This was EPIC!!! I love these Husbands you write! These guys have spines and don't take blatant disrespect. Well done! I couldn't favorite this story fast enough! 5 stars indeed!!!

Very enjoyable story, excellently written.

It's good to have money, right? If he hadn't had the financial resources to "bug" the house and have a PI shadowing his wife... would he have believed her story? The kind of coverage the husband contracted for had to run, what, $10k, give or take? So what happens if he couldn't afford it or didn't think to do it?

Could a husband believe her - without proof, mind you - let it go and still trust her? I don't think so, especially if she stuck to that stupid, "I can't tell you" plan she and her family came up with. I've seen a couple of stories along those lines here on Lit, different scenarios though.

Well done. Thanks for posting.

Never said what the one number was. ?

Revenge matched crime

Good story

Keep writing stories like this and I will keep reading

Had a good time reading this, glad to see almost all positive comments. One question: You weren't really saying that Maryann was plain? I'd take her over Ginger anytime, anywhere. On the same note, Bailey Quarters (Jan Smithers) over Jennifer Marlowe (Loni Anderson) on WKRP. Signed: BTW

Well done!!! Nice twist.

He really got his conniving in-laws back.

But have to disagree with you on one thing. This is a perfect story to be a LW . Enough sex in it and it's a real good look at a what loving wife should be. Except listening to her Mother.

And so well developed! A really fun read. 5*s. Julianne was in too vulnerable a position to give her stupid advice to her sister but what made her mother join in?! The title says it all!

Your stories are very well thought out and most are finished. This one really hit the mark.

Like it,nice to see two opinionated women bite of more than they can chew.

in the nights and days to speak their piece about life and family. TK U MLJ LV NV

Their family tree did not fork

What a fabulous, original story idea. Just one of the submissions from this author that makes M&M one of my favorite authors.

Please, please, keep 'em coming M&M. *****

Really good story.

Quite a good story.Always like to see interfering busy bodies put in their place.

If you knew how rare that 5 was you would be dancing. Bravo!

I have said it before but you have brought some creativity to this loving wives topic. I don't like all of them stories but I intend to read them all.

Once again thank you for posting.

That was a great story.

Now THAT IS a LOVING WIFE story.

Thanks moreandmore.

Hoping for more and more stories like this good.

Well done. Not sure why it went into non-erotic instead of LW, considering that there WAS sex and a cheating wife.

Excellent 5*****. I had the very good luck to be as close to my in-laws as to my own parents. But I can well imagine the hell a domineering mother-in-law could bring to a marriage.

A really lovely story. Never let the relatives get involved in your marriage. A mistake waiting to happen.

AAAAA+++++

Wanted to score this a 5, but for some reason the scoring is disabled??

ALL ICAN SAY IS BRILLIANT!

No ability to score for some reason but this is definitely a 5 star story. An interesting twist on the cheating wife trope and a pretty happy ending once the truth came out.

You should turn scoring on, this would be an easy 5 stars. Well done, thanks for posting.

Well done

DG Hear

I wish you'd have turned comments on. This one is a 5*

5 stars and damn funny. Well written.

Loved it!

Decent story,pleased he gave the silly woman a chance.

Ok….but. Going thru the whole polygraph exercise wasn’t necessary. Because he had his house bugged, he SAW and HEARD the conversations between the 3 women about the stupid scheme they pulled. Ergo: he KNEW no cheating by wife ever happened.

.

3 ***. But was this story not scorable?

I really enjoyed this one, she was a true loving wife that almost got drawn done the wrong path but a silly mother and a slut sister.

Really well written and had me laughing until the end

Well Done!

A great story but he sure went the long way about things to prove she was truthful

Sort of maybe perhaps

Outstanding!

As I'm writing this comment, I realize that I still have a smile on my face.

Thankyou.

My third time through this one, still love it! Great story, Thanks, M&M!

The thinking of some people is really next to insanity. Trying to make someone jealous on purpose? Crazy thinking. Men get hung up on women no matter their age. teens thru menopause and sometimes beyond. You here it on the news every once in awhile a man kills his children or wife or both then kills himself. He can't stand the emotional trauma of losing his family by divorce or whatever. This may sound insane but we are all subject to emotion turmoil when faced with things we have never faced before. It has been proven we all have mental problems to some extent. What I'm saying is trying to make someone jealous is like playing with dynamite, you don't know what might set it off. We are all just a little bit crazy. Good story of what not do in a marriage especially. 5 stars

just a little add to my comments: There is no such thing as a 'practical' joke. Someone always gets hurt or embarrassed.

Really good, very original

Why no rating for this one?

Good story. A bit over the top but quite a killer. Practical jokes can be a deal breaker.

Great, really stupid plan but his plan was brilliant.

thanks for a really great read. wish you would have allowed us to grade. would have been a 5+ if available

5stars

5 stars — well done!

I only wish that polygraphs were as reliable in real life as they seem to be on Literotica. :)

I liked this story quite a lot keep up the good work

Excellent. Well written, intelligent, ingenious and original

Very good. God what stupid bitches, this is why female led marriages are not a good idea

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Seems voting is turned off. Great story!

5* for this MC and how he dealt with his wife's weekend away

*****God read with sweet revenge. Thanks for sharing.

There is so much hilarity to be had with the terminally stupid. This was typically excellent stuff from this fine author,

A really intelligent and amusing story, many thanks! 5 Stars here, even if they are not offered.

Moreandmore is a smart writer. He knew he had to make the couple almost newlyweds, because if they had been married over thirty years, hubby’s reaction would have been completely different if his wife disappeared for a few days! 🤣🤣

MC went to war but didn’t go scorched earth . He took reasonable steps, drastic enough to get their full attention but any direct action against the in-laws is all upon themselves

I would give it 5 stars.

Her leaving for a weekend when they already have a good sex life was a bit weird but I think they call this fiction ;)

Damn. This is the umpteenth time I've read this story, and it never fails to make me chuckle. Too bad I can't give it the proper rating it deserves, which is *****.

5 star rating

One of the better stories.

I would have given this 5 stars but that option wasn't available. Good story even if the premise is really out there.

excellent

Excellent

Clever.

Good job

Unlike most on this site, More's stuff is only moderately over-the-top. He's getting better at injecting emotion and evocation into his writing. That avoids having the emotion you write being solely derived from hyperbolic dialogue, actions, etc. The best example of this, of course, is the ubiquitous and wholly unrealistic "Honey, I'm going on a date to have sex with another man" stories. Like injections of sugar, caffeine, and stimulants, that writing results in a high, followed by a resounding crash. Check out some of More's newer works (early 2024, on).
