Losing Faith

This only worked to make all the characters even less likable

I did not like the original story and I did not like this one. Faith is playing with fire too much. I think what she had done is cheating also.

Pretty good story with rather original twist but somewhat sloppy. Josh is clearly a predator and a pornographer. There is an aspect of art (or should we say better "art technique") in pornography but pornographer main goal is to excite sexually, not intellectually. You could say that is a gray area, it is of course but, I think almost everybody with IQ of 100+ can recognize pornography for what it is.

Back to the weaknesses of the story. "Larry" character comes across as rather stupid. Was that the intention? It is completely unrealistic that he would believe his wife, Amanda, and Josh that she never had intercourse when they all have incentive to lie and all other signs are pointing to intercourse ... apparently even Amanda cannot vouch otherwise. More importantly, the cheating have occurred albeit without penetration. This is a typical obsession on LW. How many would consider naked cock touching labia as not cheating, or masturbating in a sort of twisted threesome without her husband knowing any of this? Wife put herself repeatedly into position of high risk while seeking excitement without her husband knowing any of that? So I agree that wife character is well done but "Larry" is truly painted as a complete fool.

Another weakness, and this is often with KB, is abrupt ending with divorce looming over Josh. I guess this is to make reader feel good that somehow Josh has been punished. But how in the world was the whole story developing without his wife ever showing her presence while he fucks all his models??? This type of lazy sloppy writing seems to be typical for KB, he just drops a random character for the sake of resolving the story once he lost interest to work on the plot.

Dude, you have good ideas but you mess up almost every time. I won't grade it but it would be 2 stars for me.

It is almost like the author regrets having turned Faith into a cheater, yes she might not have actually have had penetrative sex but she still cheated.

Josh rubbed his cock up and down her pussy, later she masturbated watching Amanda and Josh have sex,

She don't do herself any favors when she turns her head for the kiss at the later meeting, as much as she denied anything went on, he did catch her scantily dressed with a bloke with an erection, I would have thought she would welcome the chance to show her love for him and the way the couple was painted in the build up it was probably something he would have done anyway.

While this shows things from Faiths point of view it also changes just enough about Larry to make him seem more responsible for the way things turned out, which lends itself to my first comment.

And it seems Larry hasn't been told the total truth in regards the rubbing cock on pussy and Faiths "jerk off" session

I really wasnt sure about this side of the story when I started it but it turned out wonderfully. I definately suggest writing another point of view to another of your stories. Great work!!

I would think they would hold you for a psych evaluation to make sure you were not a threat to yourself or others.

If she came completely clean with Larry, I don't like the chances of staying with someone who repeatedly put themselves in a position to cheat like that. At some point in the future she's gonna see a big dick she won't be able to resist and she will cheat especially if she talks him into a 3way with her store manager.

Typical white wife/black man cliche. Josh went from gay, to heterosexual with a girlfriend, to married? As much time as Amanda and Faith spent with him, neither suspected he was married? I didn’t see where Faith truly revealed her part in everything to Larry. Larry seemed to take Amanda’s and Josh’s version of everything. She is still guilty by omission. I do wish the author would have addressed the daughters thought process on her mother’s cheating. Maybe that’s another short story the author could write.

Yes, I should've read this before commenting on "part 1." I saw title of this and ass-sumed it was like most efforts here on Lit that offer views from the other side. You went further, yet it still feels far less organic than part 1. Forced. In no small part because her cheating is treated with kid gloves because insertion didn't happen. That's insulting.

Add to that Josh is an artist who aspires to greatness, with as unique a "style" as anyone's ever heard of, but his 4th quarter wife knew nothing of his, output, until the contrived comeuppance.

I have this story a number of times along with its sister, brushes, and enjoy it more each time. Your writing has changed and improved over the last year and want to commend you on it. Well done and hope to read more of your work.

I do wish there was more to this story, it has be wanting more!

I found the story very interesting.

In her mind she says she did not physically cheat but in my view she did.

She laid back on his so called platform and spread her legs as he put the head of his cock at her opening and she felt the head of his cock start to spread her lips.

So I guess she is saying just to start putting the head of another mans cock in her is not the physical act of sex is not cheating. But yes worse than that is as she admitted she had a flow blown emotional affair and more than once. She even sat there and masturbated for them to see as she watched them fuck. She was part of that act as well. That to would be considered physical but hey that's just my thinking. I myself may have forgiven her but it would not have been so easy as it was for the husbands did. Once that trust is broken its almost never comes back as it once was.

As for the daughters input into there whole ordeal and as a father of three daughters myself I think I would have Laid into her a lot harder than he did and would have given her a lesson in the Vows of Marriage. She had a pretty twisted view on what cheating is in the context of a married couple. The whole she just had sex for me is absolute bullshit. The wife was completely and emotionally in the middle of an affair with this guy. It was a lot more than just sex. I have to wonder how much farther she would have pulled away for her husband and her marriage if she did go completely through with the whole act of fucking this guy. Again great story.
