All Comments on 'Maeve and Rob Ch. 02'

Basically a rerun of the Lady or the Tiger with lots of nice tricks. She had him convinced that she loved him and could be trusted and then she reversed the situation and the truth really does not matter, just the emotions...

a good storyline formation, and the characters were well developed. Fast paced and very interesting to read. Thanks for the good post

The break by Rob in chapter 1 was pretty dramatic and strong. Then suddenly they are married? come on JPB.

after walking away from Meave so dramatically in part 1...10 sentances into part 2...they are MARRIED?!! Told ya JPB would fuck this up... LOL!!

<br></br>

JPB never explains why Rob after being chasing by Maeve for 3 weeks and applying "pressure" (what the fuck does THAT mean?!?) would SUDDENLY cave in... and not start dating... but immediately get married.

<br></br>

this is the EXACT same story/ plot as JPB's <u>ROB & LORI. </u>

EXACT.

<br></br>

In THAT story the woman/ wife Lori does the exact same thing to Rob. Lies. Decieves. Cheats while dating... doesnt see anything wrong with it ...and in every instance Rob takes her back-- mostly because Lori fucks her her back into his life. Rob sees Lori and her old boyfriend go into a Motel and says NOTHING for several weeks. Lori sees Rob's willing to compromise in the marriage as a signal that he WILLINGLY be cuckold/ wimp.

<br></br>

ANY of this sound IDENTICAL to the current story???.

Same thing here.

<br></br>

JPB has to learn that it doesnt make a difference how many times you change the Title.... the same story is the same story.

<br></br>

And the same BAD story is the same bad story.

It ended how it should have done. This was one of your better stories JPB.

The relationship between Maeve and Rob is an interesting interpersonal interaction, not often seen at this site. Both seem to want the other strongly, but some personal devils makes that unlikely (good setup JPB). Rob went through crap to resolve in his mind their relationship for chapter 2. She went through "mishigas" to track him down which meant she both wanted some kind of tie to him and had a strong attraction for him, but whether the particular tie based on current relationships could happen is clearly unlikely. A perfect set-up for a psychodrama in chapter 3. I hope it eventually appears. JPB, I'd like to know how you would craft that continuance.

.

Nice story and well written. I can see it happening especially with Maeve playing her games and having to be in total control. The trust is forever gone and so in the marriage. Thanks for sharing.

I enjoyed reading the story but the character is just pathetic. He spends all his time trying to explain how he is not really a wimp because he knows what is going on with his wife's controlling nature but allows it because he "loves" her. But she doesn't love him. She loves to try to out think him. She loves that he has the resistance to fight but she still wins. She is like a cat playing with a lively mouse. That isn't love. The cat ends up eating the mouse. The depth of her actions is revealed when she rejects the vacation plan he proposes even though it's what she wanted too. She makes an alternate choice simply to deny and hurt him. This is pretty pathetic. <br><br>

He finally walks away from her BUT nothing really happens to her. For her the purpose is in the contest and the contest continues. She still holds him in the marriage and he lets her. I can't believe a judge would refuse to let him out of a marriage when he is asking for nothing out of her millions. Let's be real here! She is paying no price for her behavior so there is no resolution to the story. Stories that set up conflict need to bring that conflict to some type of resolution for the story to be satisfying. <br><br>

Good storytelling to no purpose.

In the first chapter you asked to leave a public comment. I did and either it was deleted or you were mad. I am so sorry for you as a writer. If you do not want a comment, then don't ask for one when you post your story. I will not comment on this chapter since I have a feeling it will be deleted.

JPB,

Terrific story--as absolutely always. I really do like your longer stuff. I think I have reread about half of your stories--no LOL--and some of them more than once. My favorite if it matters is "Annabelle Gets caught," but there are a few others right up there.

This one is very very good.

Matt

After being so certain he should stay away from Maeve, after being warned by her, he takes her back anyway and the predictable ending occured.

Ohhhh! Johnny Boy Please.....Say it ain't so! You suck so much, nm toilette plans a party for you. Talk about killing the character, heck you should've castrated him in the first chapter. Of this is all you're capable of producing, I don't think your drivel is worthy of further reading. Why???.... primarily to your dishonesty as an author (AS IF YOU SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ONE)and you're lack of integrety to your characters and story line. So, end your maniacal pain, stop publishing!!!

he is cool. could you be so cool? he is/was in love he knew she would do it sooner or later but he got 5 years with her that were good. he is consequent once he had prove and let's her standing in the rain. he doesen't need to be violant like a lot of writers and readers think it has to be, but that is just plain weakness. once you can't talk anymore you have to hit somebody. no this guy has class. he just walks away and let her rot in her own shitty soup.

It ended as I thought it might. But I would suggest to JPB that he re-write (or add a 3rd chapter3) in which Maeve sees the light of gets to understand her deep seated problem. Marriage AND a having children has never been mentioned by either person in the story, Rob or Maeve. RAG

You write of cucked men who are braindead and wanting to be disrespected, helpless and hopeless. Then you insert half a resentful manly brain and expect us to feel better after its too late.<P>

There is no respect for your puppets and worse than none for you. No respect for your characters and your stories means you get no respect and have no credibility as regards life / reality. Nothing erotic or arousing just anger at the subhumaness of your intent. <P>

Worse, you know all this and yet you play like a broken sick record the same demeaning male humiliation refrain while only changing the names and closets.<P>

While its a shame about your jaded addiction to self cucking, watching and male humiliation its worse that you waste your talent on the very few like you in dire need of male humiliation to get excited .<P>

More than sad as you and they have little to look forward to in a long empty life of self disrespect.

I liked this story it was complete and belivilbe. "Thanks"

Nice follow up!I so thought you would have another few chapters to these characters.... maybe....

One of your better ones and as someone else said, I like this guy! no drama, no histronics, no need to prove how manly he is by beating someone up. Thanks for writing.

I've been reading your work for a long time and like most of it. However I feel you're getting into a rut. Most of your stories end the same way with the marraige break-up. I believe this story could have ended better. They are aparently both still in love. The woman obviuosly has psychological problems. She could go into treatment, recover and perhaps Rob and she could get back together. Just thought you could try for a happy ending for a change.

good story and he didn't sacrifice his cojones.

Thanks for a great writing. You depressingly depicted how assumption and betrayal can cloud the strongest of wills. I'm a happy ending kind of guy so it was a tough read to stay with it and not jumping to the end. For all I know you might surprise us all and have a chapter 3 coming for this story, though, I really don't think so.

I flat out hate the story and don't believe it would be possible so I rated it 1*.

It is quite obvious that you are an alter of someone else here on this site (probably another pissant author) who can't get votes and instead decides to ruin ratings of his betters.

Fucking Loser

I read it a little late, so I don't know when it was written.

But all I could think of was: More!

Good work, J.

Rob is going back to her. He just doesn't realize it yet. In a very short period of time his spine dissolves and he marries her. She goes crazy and buys a big house, buys him a flash car and basically gives him everything. (Tough life huh?) So both of them are out of character. And at the end, why doesn't he tell her that he gives into her because he loves her and understands her? Why didn't he reveal he played her a little on the last vacation? She might have had some respect for that. No, in the unfinished ending to this love story he's going to cave (spineless remember, as demonstrated throughout this story) and go back to her. Probably give her several babies to keep her busy when he's not around. Now THAT'S a JPB ending!

I disagree with the last comment. No way Rob is going back. He took enough of her shit. He proved that he didn't care about her money. He just wanted away from the controlling bitch. Whether she cheated or not is immaterial. His perception is that she did cheat and will not stop. Although he made the mistake of marrying her he got away in the end with his sanity still intact.

While your male characters seem to have a similarity to Matt Moreau's host...well...stock character, of a man who lets love override his good sense, I can see as an author why it is necessary to give some foreshadowing to the story.

This one I like. I get this woman. I feel sorry for this woman. I don't understand why she finds THIS guy so charming or how they ever integrated together, but overlooking that one fact, yeah, I get her. And that is half the battle.

This was well and subtly done. It is always a favorite when I wander down this particular path of JPB's creativity.

Might as well get her to buy him the baddest mustang around and then go back home and continue being a clueless cuck.

I can't understand the guy. Here he has seemingly overcome the odds and got married to the woman he loves and then he fucks everything up. Earlier in their relationship Maeve said, that the guys she chose to pick up are submissive, but that Rob was her rock. Then after the wedding he suddenly turns into the biggest pussy imaginable. It's no wonder that wifey chose to test him sooner or later and go further and further with it - until everything crashed and burned.

Maybe Maeve would have kept looking for some submissive cock even after the wedding, but if Rob hadn't changed his behavior towards her so drastically, they would at least have had an honest change.

Thanks for this story, I enjoyed some of it and your writing is always between good and great, but Rob's personality transplant after the wedding kept this from being a good story.

Interesting tale. But as others pointed out, she didn't want a total wimp, yet that's what he gave her. He knew that she had cheated on him pre-marriage, so he had no firm reason to believe that she had not done it again. He was tired of her on and off intimacy, and decided that he didn't want to have that type of relationship for the long term. She had not proven that she had truly changed her stripes and was fully committed to him. The end was pretty inevitable. Guess she never wanted a family and children. He was able to ride a rocky marriage relationship, but she finally rode that horse too far. Thanks, JPB. Dan

That's why no-fault divorce exists. Maeve can slow the divorce a LITTLE but there's no way she could stop it. In less than a year they'd be divorced no matter what she wanted.

The no fault divorce laws are intended that someone not be kept in marriage they no longer want to be in.

If one wants a divorce and the other doesn't, that is an irreconcilable difference.

Delays are possible, depending on the state it may be a couple of years but in the end the divorce will be granted.

A marriage without children is easiest and quickest to dissolve in all US states.

Why would she even imagine that he would consider staying with or getting back together with her after she made him think she cheated?

Whether she cheated or not is no matter, she destroyed his trust in her.

She also gave him the perception that she does not care about his feelings either.

on a future timeline. TK U MLJ LV NV

first off dont marry the crazy bitch. second if they are still married why dont he just take a big chunk of her money and use it to pay his lawyer fees.what a dumbass

Communication communication

Enough said

Good as always from JPB, characters are well defined, but poor old Maeve needs a check up from the neck up. yes she loves him but it's love on her terms and the marriage was doomed from the start. There has to be an equilibrium, give and take, deferring to the other all the time is not a marriage it's a dictatorship.

One of Bob's better stories so...No Complaint!

Just wanted to add that hubby had it right, I'm sure she cheated on her late nights and, of course - she also lies with ease.

Too bad, he honestly cared for her and that hurts for a lifetime. I agree that he should have quit with her the first time she dated another guy!

Thanks JPB - Good One!!!

If he goes back there has to be a post-nup STRONGLY in his favor so that if she ever DOES cheat (assuming she's telling the truth and hasn't yet) that she pays DEARLY.

Second, he takes control. If he wants to, the give up the house; HE chooses his car, they choose vacations TOGETHER, if they can't agree, HE decides.

Was he a wimp?

He lets her make decisions about things he does not care either way about.

Funny how so many women think that a man who lets her handle the stuff he does not care about is a wimp.

Maybe men should start flipping a coin, and giving the woman the result as "my way or the highway".

she wasn't controlling, just brain-dead stupid. liked the first one but this not really.

Of course he never should have gotten married. But since he did and since she screwed it up he should have asked for a couple million just to sooth the savage beast.

This whole plot is just stupid.

But horrible ending.

Bob thanks for an entertaining story. Forget the negative comments about the ending, you can't please everyone.

i didn t think you had it in you to finally have man with pride and morals as one of your characters well done

by the way about time

I'm not sure about this one going to your greatest hits but I enjoyed the ride. You always leave things in a grey area. Did she really cheat? In the end is not important, what's important is that she didn't feel any respect for him. Tough shit.

He did the right thing.

He deserved better than to be stuck married to the village bike, regardless of him just walking away

He should!

He played a role of a slave. The least he could do is to take 50-50 split which would be the proper punishment for the bitch.

He saw what she was before he married her. He should have dumped her then. But, he didn't.

don'T like the ending.How about counciling for her.If it was true there was no infidelity,why all the crazy behavior?Nothing about this story makes sense.

Story aint done yet waiting for chapter three.

Pleased to see he kept his balls and dumped her.However the ending is a bit weak,room for more?.

It's the era of no-fault. After about a year the divorce would have gone thru. Nothing her lawyer could do to stop it.

One of JPB's better stories. No over the top sex romps. Good character development. Two diverse personalities trying but failing each other. Rarely does JPB attain this level of insight into his characters.

At the beginning of the story Rob comes across as intelligent and understanding of Maeve's personality. She has a controlling streak but he manages it through the engagement by standing firm on occasions to show her that she will not always get her way.

Yet as the marriage ages, he becomes less and less willing to stand up to her. She takes this behavior as a sign that he didn't care for her as he did before. She needed him to stand up to her as a way of showing he cared. He knew that and did nothing.

His passiveness in the marriage was inconsistent with his willingness to confront her before and during the early years of the marriage. It seems he brought the problem on himself when he should have known how to handle her.

There is no smoking gun. No hard evidence of infidelity. Maeve was trying to get his attention to convince him she needed his active participation in their life together even if it meant occasional confrontation.

Maybe Maeve was correct. He didn't care enough to prevent the destruction of his marriage. As he said himself, he never believed the marriage was for the long haul. He simply watched it disintegrate then claimed to be the injured party.

A whole other chapter just to get to what should have happened at the end of the first one. Hmmmmmm. Oh well.

Prenup. 50% of Everything. House, assets, and business for infidelity. Make her put half of everything on the line.

AS much as JPB talks about knowledge of divorce laws in his story, he's a spectacular failure when it comes to actually understanding them.

Pretty good but he should have taken his 50% and bounced.

........you knew the gun was loaded when you picked it up, goes both ways with both getting a Slap of Reality.

Rob was being passive when it came to Bullshit, even overly passive when he should put his foot down; but as soon as he saw her with others, the bull came out and she got the horns. On the side of coin it says “Love is Blind”, people forget the other side “But Not Stupid” !!!

Maeve was beyond a control freak and game player, it doesn’t cut it with how her dad was, if your smart you choose what lessons you picked from your parents, there human too. The stupid sheep use “Your parents are heavy drinkers”, doesn’t mean I have to drink; I choose because of having a high tolerance. Example an ex-girlfriend tried to drink me under the table and bought 2 bottles of champagne for New Years Eve. She kept filling my glass flute, her half bottle to my bottle and half, turned to her dancing on the table and me enjoying the show, among other things. Next morning she was hungover “Never again” and me no hangover because I never got buzzed.

Maeve needed an attitude adjustment, being put over the knee was long due, let’s begin; this may take a while and repeat as necessary, which would be often. Yes she supposedly loved Rob “This hurt me more than it hurts you”. She did admit to her games, how they backfired and acknowledged from Rob’s point of view, where he was coming from. But she failed to mention a willingness for actual change, hers and hers alone. Unless your willing to play, your willing to pay and the price will be High !!

Last sentence made the story.

ANon Red, nobody cares.

Took way too long to grow balls but the last sentence was worth the wait.

a fine balance of how a man has a limit to what a woman can do when in power and viceversa. very good job Bob. Enjoyed reading it.

Moronic story, again JPB is portraying his main character as a resolute and determined man but the reality is that the guy is a wimp.

First of all, in real life "Maeva" would never be obsessed trying to get the wimp back, this type of infatuation JPB could never explain so HE JUST MADE IT UP to hold the cohesion of the story. In real life she would likely just let the wimp go without any fuss.

Second, the main character is an idiot because only idiot would propose divorce without asking for anything. Yes, I understand this is make him look "proud" and "dignified" but we all know how much that is worth in real life.

In reality the woman would dump the guy fast and down the road he would be looking at the bottom of his bottle thinking how real stupid he was letting all the money go.

The only revenge that would be realistic is to take that money and make her remember how much she lost financially. But, of course JPB ends with a "bang" - big sermon about "two Maeva". What a horseshit psychobabble!

****No woman holds infatuation very long when she has opportunities, NONE.****

The times of Wuthering Heights has long gone when a person would live his/her life without connecting with other people for many years. All these bar hopping idiots (like "Rob" and "Maeva") can easily get another person in a matter of days and the old flame would die out also in a matter of day.

Lengthy infatuations exists only with losers that have no opportunities to meet or attract anybody. For example, all these elderly obese geezers yearning for an imaginary woman to practice BTB they will never have a chance for, in real life.

JPB I am surprised at you for writing crap like this.

@goodshoes2 you're being ironic, right? Or is this the first JPB story you read?

About the story it shows the classic JPB pattern where a man trips over and over again with the same stone. His MC is all words no real action. And when he does act, he goes back on his word once and again only to be cheated again. Your MC try to act as a man, but he is not just a pathetic replica of a man.

goodshoes2, why are you surprised? Bob has the emotional sophistication of an adolescent. He is stunted and incredibly immature.

It's quite impressive how he makes the wrong decision in almost every major choice in his life. Only good move he made was filing for divorce, and even then, he managed to cock it up.

I think jealousy is the worst attitude to have. It spells weakness and rigidity! She did try to respect herself and her love for you. What did you do? You spied on her as an hypocrite. The note of 3 is for the writing only!

I don't understand what everyone is complaining about. He loved her, she claimed to love him, he tried to make it work, she went out of her way to create suspicion and succeeded. He filed for divorce and left her and refuses to go back and play her games. Good story

Thanks, for an interesting and expected ending to

Naw she was cheating…but at least he didn’t accept it

Hey Maeve, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I can personally attest that this scenario is extremely common. I usually have at least one wealthy, drop-dead-gorgeous woman stalking me at any one time. Sometimes, I have two or three! Once, a couple of them got into a cat fight in front of my house, screaming and ripping at each other's clothes.

"He's mine!'

"No, you rich bitch! He's MINE!"

I had to turn the hose on them to break it up.

I routinely have to move all over the country to escape their attentions! Then, just as I start to believe I have finally found peace, another one pops up, and I have to plan my escape all over again.

Thanks, Bob, for finally telling our story, so we can get the sympathy we truly deserve.

At long last,the worm turns.Also this story needs a few more commas.

Well if she wants to play game, change up on her, refile and ask for the money you deserve. That will surely humble her.

Rob is a dumbass. She wanted him because he had a backbone and wouldn't let her 'control' him. Then he turned himself into exactly the kind of simpering wimp she told him she despised. What did he expect? I have more sympathy for Maeve than this moron.

I have no sympathy for either of the characters. Why would anyone marry that controlling bitch? Rob should have run instead of marrying her, he maneuvered himsrlf in a lose- lose situation. Show some spine and she would take on a submissive lover, act submissive and lose her respect and in the end her garbled version of love.

As I said, no sympathy for either one of them, but on the other hand men have done much stupider things than Rob when he married his pornstar lookalike.

Thanks for sharing, JPB!
