All Comments on 'Not Again'

Good story, and really wrapped it up well in the last bit!

1* for marrying the bitch Vicky.

I liked this tale but it was hard to read. WAY too many spelling and punctuation errors. DMW aka Sumnut96

"Yeah, she told me everything. Now I'll tell you what I told her. All marriages take work and if you don't talk to one another, you mine as well pack it in because it's not going to last. You should have talked to my daughter when you first suspected something was going on and she should have told you when she first realized she was sick. You two have been given a second chance. Don't blow it."

===> pretty much a good summary of their sad state. They both f$cked up. Filing for divorce based on such flimsy evidence is moronic. She really should have told him about her health problems. Their communication sucks. Just like when they were dating but non-exclusive.

Btw they were both non-exclusive when she slept with that other guy..Sure he had a right to be irked because maybe he felt their relationship was further along while dating but they were (again) non-exclusive. They worked it out. No cheating. She just wasn't at the same pint he was though she cared for him. It progressed from therr and they got married. Period.

And I assume the previous comment was a sarcastic post, otherwise the commenter is truly delusional or cannot read.

Good story 4 stars.

Disappointing

Just dumb, the character of Vicki was written on poorly and she appeared to have multipersonality, just dumb

It took 2 months just to get a date with her, but she slept with another guy almost right away... aagghh, my brain...

Her initial reaction was understandable, but once she remembered where HE was coming from with his ex experience, she should have very quickly chilled out. Besides — her keeping her medical crisis from HIM was as bad as him jumping to a wrong conclusion based on his experience with the ex.

Loved it!!

Yeah, talk will fix everything. That’s why counseling is such a panacea. Just try it next time your spouse cheats on you, or has someone else’s child or runs away with some guy. Talk through it… Aahhh, I feel so much better now.

A really good story. Thanks for sharing, Slirpuff. My only negative take on the whole thing was if the guy is that gunshy, he had absolutely no business getting married again so soon. I know some guys just like being married, hell, I liked being married. But until and unless you know you’re ready to commit wholly, just don’t do it. Date, be exclusive (or not), travel, work ALL the time, whatever. Just don’t commit too soon.

5 stars.

Pretty good story. Clearly he should have had more verification before filing and accusing. After she got better, they needed time apart. The aim of these stories should be happiness, not necessarily togetherness.

Good story. Amazed at the commenters who are fitted that Vicky had sex with another guy when not exclusive. Vicky didn't serve the MC or pledge to him when they were non-exclusive. It is his right to be upset and he was. And they got over it. It had nothing to do with prediction of future events as they were NOT exclusive. Now after they got exclusive, she was faithful. He didn't trust her and was about to serve her papers. Grow up!

Such a good story. I understand the husband's conclusion and I mostly understand the wife's secrecy.

It is hard to understand how these writer introduce plot details, expound on setup, then drop it totally or fail to develop. Vicki laid the foundation for his suspicion by having sex on another casual date while already knowing how he rolled. That alone was disrespect, but the author never came around to that again, and it totally left the feeling of unfinished business. Not good.

ANOTHER CLUELESS WEAK WIMPY CUCK STEVE STORY

Good story. Amazing how many readers want to burn Vicki. Disgusting. They both made mistakes and did not communicate. Once they talked, the situation was readily reconcilable. It is less of a hurdle than their transition to exclusive. The one caveat is the husband was a total moron leaving a crumpled envelope on the top of their trash can. Wtf?

One way it could end for sure. But I'll bet a LOT more times it ends in a divorce. Not everybody is a great communicator and having been burned once I think he pulls the trigger rapidly and goes on his way - ALONE.

Don't understand so many of the comments. Yes, they both made mistakes by not talking to each other, but anyone who thinks either shouldn't be forgiven is about as terrible a person as ever walked the face of earth. I'm lad I am not attached to such heartless people.

Second wife was a total bitch on the first date, never should have agreed to a second date. Once they were dating, she already knew his attitude on cheating was relationship over after the first time but she went out and had sex with another man. That should have been the end of it right then, everything after that was just a result of the main character selling out his values for sex.

As for the plot twist of her brain tumor, it would have been better if the main character had dropped the divorce papers on the counter and said “I know you are not having lunch with your sister, tell me why I shouldn’t file these divorce papers.”

I am sorry she is sleeping with other people while with him knowing his history I would not have giving her a second chance end of story.

Good story BUT I can see why not being honest with each other can cause heaps of problems One of your better ones (jaybee186)

I'm sorry... but if Steve didn't want his wife to find out about the divorce papers then why did he throw them in the trash can where his wife could easily find them... I know if I look in there and found a manila envelope that look as though it might have important papers I would definitely investigate... that made absolutely not sense whatsoever... unless he wanted her to find them.

""I'm sorry about last time. I'd been on some really awful dates and decided to find out a little about you right away. I sorry I was so blunt. But, if you were an ass, I wasn't going to waste my time making small talk for the rest of the night."

From her dialog in the story it was obvious Vicki was being the ass.

Also concealing her medical problems for months and not talking to her husband when he kept inquiring what was going on she was still being an ass.

""You thought so little of me that you'd divorce me without even talking to me first?"

Vicki thought little of her husband, hiding her health issues and being secretive about her comings and goings. She gets pissed off at her husband because he was going to divorce her over her secretive behavior. Vicki was not acting trustworthy and wouldn't talk to her husband about her secretive behavior. The husband has seen this movie before and know how it ends. The lack of communication started and ended with her but she fails to see she's responsibility for the conclusion her husband reached by lying and hiding her medical issues. She's lucky she got a second chance after threatening to leave her husband and take their kids away from their father.

"I just didn't have it in me and I didn't want to get into another argument." - How is it "getting into and argument" telling your husband you're sick?

\

"I was calling myself a lot of ugly names." - Why? He had every right to be suspicious, especially when he asked what was wrong and she blew him off.

\

"You thought so little of me that you'd divorce me without even talking to me first?" - He TRIED talking to her, and she kept blowing him off, and didn't share her condition with him!

\

"Do you want to talk or do we just call it quits and move on separately?" - She was pissed at him for not talking, now SHE won't talk?

\

I was just looking at an older comment regarding her computer, how she acted suspicious with it.

\

While I'm happy for the happy ending, when she said that she'd leave him when she was cured, I was hoping she wouldn't make it.

Very lucky girl, watch out for the scar tissue. As I have said before communication is everything. Thanks for your writing.

How I would love to read a story where the husband has a couple of balls, thinks reasonably well and acts with some logic and decency.

Why are husbands always portrayed as queers without any kind of personality, immersed in 'guilt' and groping in the dark?

The beginning just doesn't jive. I don't think Vicky is a cheater but honestly, the phone call was creepy as fuck. She just fucked a guy and wants him to go over so they can clear the air? Huh? Who does that? Was she taking it slow with the other guy. Was she going to give him sloppy seconds? It's creepy as fuck.

If she has that strong of feelings for the dude to worry about losing him then why would she not just finish the date and deal with it instead of spending the night getting laid. I am sorry but in no way is that normal behavior for someone who claims to be in love. This is ESPECIALLY the case during the early stages of a relationship when feelings of romantic love tend to be very strong.

Great story and it goes to show what problems can arise out of a lack of communication. Well written with a great ending. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Decent enough story but a terrible ending. How does he even get together in the first place when she ignores him for two weeks? Most men would stop calling after the first couple of days. When she sleeps with the other man, their relationship is toast from every perspective. So they never get together and the whole story disappears. I can't imagine a man in his place pursuing her. He can't trust her. She shows up at his apartment with coffee? Close the door on her. Done and done.

He should have never dated her after he caught her fucking other men.

What a slut and wimp.

Nice plot device later though.

The only problem I have with this story is one of time lines. Why did it take so long between suspicion and diagnosis. As others have mentioned why did it take months till she knew she had cancer. In my wife's case she was diagnosed 3 weeks after seeing her GP/

2 weeks later surgery then chemo and radiation. 2 years later I cremated her and sprinkled her ashes over our property.

Apart from the first week she kept me up to date with what was going on.

Nitpic why would you divorce her. She was obviously concerned about the cancer. She did not cheat on her husband she was just worried about his reaction. FFS get a life you poor excuse for a human being.

4 stars - just because of how far it got before she actually had the guts to finally tell him what was wrong. In a normal couple arrangement that would never happen - not ever. BUT this is FANTASYLAND.

Never had “The Big ‘C’ “, but I’ve known several people who have, including my wife. Don’t know if it was the cancer or the radiation and chemo but my wife’s sex drive went from greater than mine to Zero in about two weeks. I’ve heard the same story from a couple of other guys whose wives had it. Good story, Slirpuff, with the best possible ending about a very tough subject. Thanks.

Me,I would have gone through with the divorce.

Yeah, and also, she subjects the guy to an interrogation and makes him wait six weeks to sleep with them, while her other dates have an easy time and get to fuck her immediately. Vicky is highly suspicious.

Bullshit, a wife with cancer doesn’t confide in her loving husband! She tells her mother but not her loving husband. She cuts off sex to her husband! I don’t see how a brain tumor caused a decrease in her sex drive! Vicki was a terrible wife!

Great story - think that there is a lesson or two in there somewhere. 5 stars

somewhere east of Omaha

Great cautionary tale. Having said that, if a girl is fucking more than one person at a time, she isn’t wife material.

It's where most marriages fail. You've got to talk to each other. If you are to embarrassed to talk about something to your partner then maybe you are not with the right person.

A pair of morons, who deserve each other.He was thicker than a block of oak!

Lots of gaps in the plot and sorely requires editing. 4*s.

Better a dead faithful wife, than a living cheating slut wife!!!

I am sorry but this story doesn't make a lot of sense. I understand the theme but some of the decisions regarding the plot are just odd. Breast cancer works far better narratively speaking. Why wouldn’t he get the same PI that was used previously. They hadn't discussed exclusivity so he really can't be upset but she asks him over when she has just fucked another man minutes to hours previously. See what i mean? This is just odd.

Communicate people

No criticism, no BS about commas or spelling, no weary story line issues, just a well written interesting pleasant read.

Once we got past the unbelievable section it was pretty good.

When he saw her out on the town during his business meeting and she admitted she'd fucked her date that would have been the end of this story for most men. Especially this man who'd been cheated on. No way he mistakes that kind of behavior as a positive indicator something good was going to come out of this. MH

Considering that he caught her sleeping around on him while they were dating, is plenty reason to think that she might be cheating again. Read the story, but not that excited about the "happy" outcome. She had to be dragged kicking and screaming across the finish line.

I think she has a cheek getting snotty about the divorce papers,it was her own fault.If she hadn't behaved and acted the way she did he wouldn't have thought about a divorce.

But like he admitted he overreacted just like way too many commentators did. Cut them both a little slack, if you'd gone through what he did you might too. Should he have acted before the facts were known? No. Should she have talked about what was happening to him at the beginning? Yes. Should she have talked with him before anyone else? Yes. My only other suggestion would have been a miracle worker; Dr. Bennett Stein, MD, the retired former head of Neurosurgery at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. He saved the life of one very dear to me years ago, whom I now miss every day. Signed: BTW

Very good.

Pretty good story all around. In spite of being a two time loser, he certainly overreacted to a few short term abberations.

Any man with an ounce of smarts never calls her back after she admits to sleeping with the other man. That should have told him all he needed to know about her true character. I think most men never return her calls after the very first date. Who wants to be cross-examined by a stranger, on their first date? Talk about a shrew. So for my money, them getting married was a no-go. And after what she did, a divorce was a given. What a cunt! Awful ending.

1 star

Give the guy a break, once burned twice shy I don't care how many years go by.

Hey, you have to cut the guy a little slack, it’s really easy to get “gunshy” when you were burned as badly as he was by his first wife. I did like the line, “And be late for my surprise party? Not on your life”.There’s a phrase you just don’t here every day. Again, good story.

This is not up there with some of your other work.

The story felt stiff, with restarts done with jerks. The characters did not mesh well at all. The premise has been used before in Romance. I would suggest that this be reworked as a Romance piece removing the LW characteristics.

I lost my wife to cancer over 1 year ago. I was at her side the entire time and tried to find a solution, but there just wasn't one. The wife made a mistake and should have involved the husband as soon as possible.

Way too long for no plot at all.

Slirpuff, you've written some damn good ones....but this definitely wasn't one if them. His second wife comes off as entitled, manipulative and completely inconsiderate of his feelings. She starts acting like she's cheating, knowing what he went through, and then gets mad at him for being suspicious and being proactive. Slirpuff I must ask, do you take some sadistic pleasure in writing women like this? Cause when I'm rooting for cancer to take a bitch and make it slow and painful, I gotta take a look at the author and wonder what the deal is. Quite a few of your stories have women this manipulative, entitled, self absorbed and uncaring for their Husbands. As for the protagonist, I recognize quite a few signs of a weak and insecure man. I get it that the Ex-wife did a number on his confidence, I mean who wouldn't? But wifey number 2 displayed numerous red flags and he just took it like a simpering little bitch. I admit, I lost respect for him.

I'm kinda worried man, as you're a fairly good author and I genuinely have liked some of your stuff. Now I'm starting to get wary.

...and fluff.

However he writes well

I was somewhere around page 1 or 2 and wondering why the hell is this guy going back to this Vicky woman who isn't clear with boundaries, fucked up one of his dates, and so on. Then I saw it was slirpuff. A slirpuff story. That had all the answers. He already got a fucking second date, he has no reason to go back to her like she's the last woman on earth. There's not even any justification other than common cheating background. Holy dumb fuck. An old graham cracker has more spine. This is unacceptable. 30 days dungeon for everyone.

Dude, it's not a matter of "there are no faithful wives anymore"! I mean if it's one you can say yeah it's the bitch. Two, umm, maybe it's the bitches. Five? Have you taken a hard look at yourself? Either you need some major working on yourself or you have a skank magnet.

Don't see how he would have gotten back together with her in the first place. She's still playing the field and he's serious. She knocks on his door that morning? Given the character you built for him, he never answers the door or calls her back. The rest was just unbelievable fluff. Horrible ending.

After what she does, given his trust issues, there's simply no way he would have gone out with her again. I don't understand how you can establish his character and then ignore it.

And the scoring reflects it.

After dating for over six weeks exclusively , on his part she up and fucks the guy he saw with. That would be the last time many men would have any thing to do with her. And yet Slrpuff has her pursue Steve. Is this the same Steve and Vicki from your story Using a twenty seven year free pass? Slirpuff has no idea how a man reacts to the woman that he's married to or dating, fucking another man. Steve Moore must have pissed in Slirpuff cornflakes or some thing, because in every story that he's in he gets made a cuckold

First wife, married 6 years. No children. She assumed it was my fault. I caught her with two men. Second wife. Caught her in a gangbang. It took me longer to divorce her than we had been married. One miscarriage. Third relationship resulting in a son. She wanted a child, not a husband. Never made it to alter. Third wife. One son. Caught her with her ex-husband. No such thing as a faithful wife anymore.

1st wife cheated one child married 2 years.2nd wife cheated, two children, married 7years, 3rd wife married 14 years, she got lung cancer spread through her body and passed 3 months after We found out. One month after she passed away I found love letters and a picture of heron the dance floor with a 27 year old from NJ. Who taught her the tango and a few other things just two previous years before she found out about the cancer..I was a trucker and only home on weekends..Married again, no more trusting issues, we have an open marriage and she shows no interest in messing around..Could it be were just both too damn old to care anymore? Yup......Neither of us are Ken and Barbie, I'm dead below the waist and she has no interest...Now my worries are over...We will grow old toge...Oh hell...We already are old...Still loving after one year lol...I don't need to worry anymore...See...It finally does work out in THE END.

Went through Glioblastoma with my wife. Had several surgeries to remove it and it just kept coming back. We went through all kinds of things like for a time everything was "eggs" . Can you get me eggs? I need help with my eggs. Etc. But she meant something else every time. Towards the end as it grew, she had mood changes, memory loss then it would come back , lack of ability to filter her thoughts and spoke of everything that entered her head, and lots of anger. It was very bad when she was yelling at me for the tenth time one morning; she said that she was glad she cheated on me with several other people. Our son, who was 16 at the time heard everything. It spiraled down from their. Everyone kept saying that it didn't happen or it's the tumor talking or something like that. I lost my calm a few days later and told her to prove it to me. I'm not going to say how she did, but she convinced me. I checked out what she said and I believe that she was rational about what she said and what she was doing to us. I'm not proud to say it, but I left her to her sisters and took our son. Yes he is my son. But I never saw her alive again.

I say all this because I have flashbacks of that time from reading this story. I wish I could have it been like in the story; just a big mistake. But the truth is that I am still mad at her and it's been almost 9 years since she died. My trust issues have kept me from getting into serious relationships with any woman. My son has had his own problems since that time too with trust but he is handling it better than I and I think he has a good chance of getting over it. I hope nobody else has to go through what I did. And I mean the cancer part, the the other things. It is hell for everyone, more so for those left alive and dealing with it.

Thank you for the story, but I'm not going to rate it because I'm not the right person to do that. Still too painful.

you will never know the mountain you face... been there done that and lost her... I see her in my mind I feel her in my heart I will love her forever and ever and ever 5

This woman was one self centered ass hole bitch. A me and all me slut.

By the time he was able to get her on a first date, she interrogates the hell out of him over trust issues because of her ex. While they are getting serious dating, she has no problem sleeping with another man? What about that trust issue for him? She had no problem at all with the fact that she did so. Then, she instantly tries to fix it all by showing up at his house to fuck the hell out of him. Does all of that sound logical after her fucked up hang ups about trust in men? So...when she hided the illness and tumor from him, and acts just like a cheating spouse, of course he will think she's been cheating. If for no other reason because she had no problem sleeping with another man while they were dating. I'm glad it worked out in the end but the hypocracy on her part was fucked up. Sometimes, you sure are a moron with your stories.

That's all, just a good story.

Thanks for sharing it.

Tear to my eye

If you had seen some of my comments that I left for other authors then you know that I don't very often give five stars for some of these stories. But this story ( in my opinion ) deserves more than 5 stars. The whole story was very entertaining. I am glad you let her live without the tumor coming back. Good ending, GREAT STORY I really liked it.

doesn't leave trust in a good position. TK U MLJ LV NV

Always a pleasure finding a Slirpuff story waiting.

A gourmet meal with flies on it.

Punctuation helps readers know when some one is thinking or saying something and when it is something happening.

And then there are the words like:

rondevu

Christakis

What do you mean to say?

Do you really need to invent words when there are 500,000 or so already in English?

I always enjoy your writing. Wish you would do more. 5 stars

My first two wives died of cancer, the first of Ovarian Cancer, the second of Metastatic Melanoma. Fortunately, I didn't have to live through the sort of doubts that your protagonist did!

One of the commenters told shame for the husband and Vicki should divorce him. That poster did not read the story. BigK10 is excellent Consequence and BTB author he wrote his first wife or mate cheated on him. He lives in a happy second marriage, but he thinks of his first cheating woman he is not without sad and angry emotion after about 20 years.

This carachter was portrayed well he thought of his first cheating wife when the communication was wrong.................

BTB 5*****

thanks for the offering. Always great to see one of your stories!

Nice tale, nice twist, nice ending

Of course I guessed the sickness but even so, this was well written and had a well thought out plot. 5 stars from me all day.

lordslamdawg said it, hooked like a trout. once i was in that was it. all your stuff is like that.

you do get a little sloppy. i think i know why. you've got it your head and you just cruise till you're done. once done you close the book, no going back, you move on, no silly do overs.

an anon said it, you, and dqs. maybe hdk, jpb, ren, and ohio will show up. regardless, slirpuff you keep going.

five all the way.

jedd clampett

But a terrible punctuator. A gourmet meal (your story) with flies on it (periods where there should have been question marks. No quotation marks where there was dialog, etc.). Some think these complaints are petty, but many of us find all the mistakes distracting, especially in a great story like this one. Please get a proofreader!

That said, please keep writing. Your story had a cohesiveness to it which held my interest. The characters were believable, their feelings human. It made me feel good that it had a happy ending. Thanks!

BTB for the first wife and reconciliation with the second. I could believe this reconciliation because there was no actual cheating. It was a good cautionary tale. You can't just jump to conclusions. Five stars!

Thanks for writing again. Much better at 3 pages . Don't rate those scenes, called flash stories.

Gave you 3*s . With practice the talent will come back . Thanks

AMerryman

Nice story. 3 pages are better than the last one page shorts. I like the way your get the story out and all the characters working well.

" Talk out our problems"

I don't see any reconciliation in this story. Nothing happened that required reconciliation. The story is about two people growing up.

Both sides did not understand the basics of a meaningful relationship, a partnership. Imagine being potentially seriously ill and not telling your partner. In my universe the partner is the first know, both because it is their right as partner to know the reality and because, in a partnership, support is part of the deal. Support in dire circumstances.

And imagine being so screwed up by a bad experience that you act before asking. If there's an issue with your partner partner, you ask them first. Figure out what's going on. That's lessons-in-life beginners course.

I have no doubt that there are real people out there who do not know how to function in a real relationship. This story describes two of them.

Just another sissy wimp loser and heartless Cunts story.

I think to write some Reconciliation stories it does not mean somebody is wimp author mainly the wife did not cheat with man or woman only bad comunication, big dedate or wrong humuliation word usage were in the background. The different between wimp authors and average authors means more RAAC WAAC stories.

Good story 5***** and to be happy for a not wife sharing story!

It is difficult to write a story were the couple reconcile as there are many degrees of emotion and historic relationship hurdles to over come.

I enjoy reading stories from authors about reconciliation because it is a very subjective situation.

Well done Slirpuff

too bad they were so wounded.

but this line was a doozy.

*"Bitch I replied," pulling her into his arms.*

Whoa.

That little mess aside, it was a refreshing read, and a nice happy ending. As for the computer secrecy others are concerned about, she may have been researching cancer. Thanks for the story, SP!

Cog

Thanks for sharing.

You can't judge a book by its cover. Thank you and three cheers for open, honest communication. It really does work.

Great tale that when your communication is a lie, doubt escalates.

After the months of dreck, having Slirpuff AND DQS post new stories is great.

As rare as decent stories have been for the last couple of years, I'm amazed at the bitching about the story arc, as if Slirpuff has an obligation to ONLY write stories with a blameless, clueless hero, and cheating wife whores. If you want that, SS06 is still around.

This was a nice little story with a twist, good for an entertaining 45 minutes.

Just in case any of you Bozos haven't figured it out yet, there is no story quota whereby a story like this precludes a BTB story. If you don't like it, don't read it. If it's poorly written, then criticize away.

On a different note, if we're lucky, Rehnquist may return. Stranger things have happened.

Anonymous Andy

Thanks SP for another good story. Very realistic character development and dialogue. Well done!

I always get a laugh a how you writers treat a wife or a girlfriend that fucks another man while in a relationship as being no big deal. You portray it the same as if she just went for a cup of coffee with another man, after all we aren't exclusive. Pray tell what man would want to be exclusive with a woman like that? And yet you have him marry her! Any man that is truly a man would have nothing to do with her after she admitted that she fucked her date there wasn't anything invested in the relationship. Your Steve Moore has got to be the biggest fucking idiot cuckold in literotica anneals. In your story ( USING A TWENTY SEVEN YEAR OLD FREE PASS) you have Stevie boys wife Victoria in a TEN hour fuck fest with a black man with a cock the size of which any horse would be proud to sport, she proclaims he took her to heaven many times, we would assume, you give Stevie boy a knock on the head some amnesia and Stevie comes around , her kissing, fucking and declaring that was the best fucking she ever had doesn't bother him , its not a deal breaker, pray tell what is ? In Not again he was already hurt emotionally by his wifes betrayal ,and yet you have him continue a relationship with a woman that admitted that she fucked the man he saw her with. In my day you didn't have to be exclusive to keep your legs closed or you zipper up when you were interested in having a relationship with someone that might lead to a lasting one. Like I said before you treat kissing and fucking like having a cup of coffee, no big deal! Well to most humans I think it would be a big deal. unless they had no feelings for that person, in the past a prostitute would fuck but she wouldn't kiss because its to personal, but we all know that kissing comes before fucking outside of prostitution, so we surmises she had feelings for the man she fucked the night he saw her out with him. And the excuse that she was horny and needed ton get fucked doesn't wash surely she could have waited a day and fuck Steve if she had strong feeling towards him. Then when theyre married and she starts acting towards him like his first wife did and im sure he would remember her fucking her date,and she doesn't believe he could think she is cheating , all in all n my eyes Slirpuff is a cuckold writer and he dresses it up to appear that hes against infidelity, but no matter what Stevie always ends up eating creampie .
