All Comments on 'Opposite's Attract'

Although somewhat predictable, this was a good story and I love a good story! So thanks DG for another exceptionally well-written story - it's always a pleasure to get a new one from a master! Its stories like this which make up for the crap often dished out as art at Literotica. There are few really good writers on this site but you are certainly one of them! What can I say? Another real gem of a tale! Full marks DG - no suggestions for improvement - to me it was simply a perfect tale of betrayal with hope for the future without even one fuck or suck to titillate us! A devoted fan, Pete.

Another good story, you never dissapoint the readers. All your stories could go on and on and I'd be there to read the next chapter. Yes, I am a fan of DG stories.

Great job!

another great story

Thanks, DG for your time and effort. Great story, short and to the point.

I've read all your other submissions and I keep you on my favorites list.

Nice tight and to the point. This is just about perfect. Strong characters and weak ones, all well defined. Just a really good story.

Yep, another good one from DG. I do wish it could have been longer - why are the good ones always so short? Oh well, that leaves him more time for writing the next one, doesn't it?

Good story and like the touch of a friend to help put things in prospective and keep Kevin from doing something stupid.

Becoming want of your greatest fans,

It didn't need sex in it to be a good read. As always, an excellent story :)

maybe it was too short, maybe I wanted to know more, or maybe I found the emotional content missing, but as much as I like your stories, this one didn't do it for me. I do like your style, but I expect better from you. Sorry. Still thank you for the read.

nothing especial. writing is good, but the story is mostly recycled plot but plausible.

A nice read - What can I say DG, I've always enjoyed your writing.

<p>DGHear, you and a couple of selected authors are the few remaining reasons I even bother checking out this site anymore. I found this site by accident while searching for some romance and crime/mystery stories to read. At the time, it appeared that I was most likely going to die by the end of the year and I was going to leave behind my pre-teen/teenage children and my wonderful wife. I was just looking for some stories to read while awaiting my fate; luckily I survived.</p><p>Even though this site is a little more erotic than what I was looking for and definitely has categories I am not into; it did have a sufficient number of good romance, crime/mystery, loving/cheating wife with consequences, non-erotic, and even the occasional erotic story about a couple that love each other that this site was worth reading. I feel that is no longer the case anymore and will eventually stop visiting this site.</p><p>So I have decided to take this opportunity to say. 1) I have enjoyed reading your stories. 2) You inspired me by one of your comments on another author’s story to begin outlining and writing my own endings to stories that I felt did not end correctly. I call them my “chapter two endings’. And recently I also started outlining my own stories. Will I submit these stories someday to some site? Who knows, but right now I am enjoying the writing.</p><p>Now on to comments about the story. I really liked this story especially since it appears that Kevin will end up with a loving wife in Billie. Over the years I have heard about guys marrying their ex-wife’s sister. And based on the number of stories I have heard, I would not be surprised if it turns out to be decent sized number of couples.</p><p>Again thank-you for writing a good and enjoyable story.</p>

DG, I totally agree with Comment ID when he says that you are one of the few remaining authors on Lit.Com worth reading. I too expect to stop visiting this site in the near future. I check now only to see if you and the six or seven other writers who are good have contributed anything new. Unfortunatley, there are just too many jerk-offs who cannot write a decent sentence, much less write a decent story.

"Opposite's Attract" is an entertaining and well-written story. It, once again, shows your creative and story-telling skill. Please keep up your writing in the LW genre. Heaven knows, those who want to read something substantive in this category need it.

Cheers!

Concise and to the point. Smooth read. Good ending! (What else could we ask for in a story?)

Your writing is real life and has some morals. Sex is great but without some morals and responsibles it is no more than two dogs fucking on the side of the road. Always enjoy your stories and look foward to more. Thanks

Your stories are always interesting and well written, but, as one of your readers said,this one seems to lack any real emotional content. It was kind of a brief summary--we had different personalities-- she cheated--I caught her- we got divorced. For an excellent writer, this was not up to your usual standard.

This is a strong moving concise and restrained story. The latter btw, should not be confused with lack of emotions. One thing that bugged me a bit is the re- appearance of the cliché of the husband giving away the house or the apartment to the soon to be ex wife. I see it again and again, and again, and I am trying to figure out the reason. A house (or an apartment) is as you all know the biggest asset that most people would ever own. We are all familiar with it from our own mortgages experiences. Why drop such a big mismatch with reality which is not even that necessary for the plot? BTW, I did not call it a cliché to insult anyone it’s just a technical term which describes a repeated form to describe something, to the point where that pattern is recognizable without any context. Maybe the initial intention was to show the depth of the husband‘s disgust with every thing related to the shared life with the cheating wife, but that could be arranged by an intermediary assistant (like a realtor). I know that It sounds much less romantic than saying: ‘leave every thing to her, I will just take my hat and my horse- never to look book’. Indeed it sounds very manly and ‘westerny’, but you pay the price in credibility. The reason I mentioned the western here is because that’s where I sense this use of pattern originates from (I am not talking about a conscious decision but rather about influences that affected us all as we grew up). People in real life usually don’t allow their main assets (even not half of them) to be given to their soon to be ex wives as a prize. Especially so in acrimonious relations leading to a divorce. ******************************** I am sorry for the length of this one single point, but DG, don’t get me wrong because over all I LOVED the story!

Jo thought so little of him that she refused to have his kids and then fucked over him.. So why did she bother calling him a a number of times?. Billie sounds like a straight forward gal.. He may as well marry her immediately.. She'll wear him down, anyway..

I guess more and more we see the problem of the wife either making more money than the spouse or wanting more from him.

she acted like a whore,but you treated her like a queen after she cheated.what wrong with that picture.

Good storie but it needs more envolment from the husband and wife.

I enjoyed it. I would have liked to seen the story continue a little more such as; Kevin and Billie's life together, her father reluctantly comming around, the effects the affair had on Paul's marriage, Jo, Billie and Kevin's relationship, especially, on special family occasions like, when they a bring their future kids to parent's house to celebrate the holidays and the effects it has on, ageing lonely Jo during those events realizing what she had lost, year after year. You know, the natural consequences that most people don't think about that can actually be more punishing than anything deliberate.

I guess Jo`s battery short circuited her brain and caused her to screw up her marriage but i think she got her punishment .

Wife seemed to have few if any regrets. Just wanted to know what mistake she made so she could avoid being caught next time.

I liked it. But, it was abit one sided. I wished you could have wrote it in like two parts. One from Jo's side as well. Billie is a very sweet character for sure!

My only complaint: I hate ham loaf.

I loved it.

I liked this story. I would have liked to read a little more about Kevin and Billie.

Thanks for writing this story for all of us (and yourself).

you should have shot him in the ass then filed for divorce.....lol

but the whole piece was a bit too matter-of-fact for me. It was almost as if even the husband telling the story didn't have much interest in it.

it is a crisp style without too many words just to add length to a story. gave u a 5.

It is a somewhat recurring theme for DG - the perfect woman in the wings - often a friend or family member of the stupid woman he married first.

It is a true advantage of writing fantasy stories - they require you suspend your reality and substitute one of his heh -

But his are nice -

A great story. It teaches that cheating doesn't pay

"Take that bitch! You fuck around on me, and I'll make you pay for a few pizzas! Sorry to be so cruel, what with the price af a pizza, so you can have the house, all the furniture that I didn't want but paid for, I'll pay off your debts, and if there is any money left, you can have that too!"

Wow, this guy is even more cruel than Hitler! Bet she's sorry now!

As you can deduce for my title comment, I liked the story. I like most of DG's stories. I determine if I like a story based mostly on whither I will read it a second time.

Also interesting are the comments from readers. Some love them; some critique them; and some take exception to some aspects of story line, plot, various characters, realization compared to real life, or which spouse came out on top either materially or morally. And there are folks who get irritated by lack of great punctuation or incorrect spelling. All comments are one person's opinion and/or what their take from the story may be.

In earlier times, meaning before the 1950's, the cuckolded spouse could beat the cheating spouse, whiter male or female and the local authorities would look the other way saying, "they got what they deserved". A cuckolded man most especially was expected to give the man who dared to have sex with his cheating wife a sound and thorough thumping. So long as the man stealing the wife was not killed the old sheriff would make the judgement to not arrest the cuckolded man and everyone considered justice served. Since the 1950's it is not a crime to commit adultery and the cuckold husband is still expected to thump the adulterous man or the cuckold man is considered a "wimp" ignoring the fact that the authorities must now arrest and imprison the cuckold man. I for one don't want to go to prison for assault how about you? Legally speaking what recourse does the cuckolded spouse have? Divorce! The assets are divided equally and the children go to the wife, even when the wife has cheated on her husband. Stay with the cheating spouse and the victim becomes a wimp whither male or female. There should be a third option. The victim should be able to petition the court for a legal chance to punch the cheating spouse on the jaw and kick them in their private parts without being able to defend themselves.

If anyone should take offense, I'm sorry. My opinion. But should you want satisfaction you may feel free to verbally abuse me either here or in private at jbunch34.yahoo.com.

DG keep those stories coming please. We appreciate your willingness to share your stories.

How about continuing on with the rest of the story....

after blowing the fuses, its time to rewire. TK U MLJ LV NV

Not too bad,but would have liked to know what happened to Josie and did he marry Billie?.

Poor ending,there was a lot more mileage in this story,as pointed out

"That was uncalled for. Paul never did anything to you..." - I don't see what that has to do with his previous statement. It's not like Kevin said that he was going to do anything to Paul.

I'm SO sorry that it bothers her that she doesn't know who told him!

What's the big deal about someone "catching him doing something wrong?" They're divorcing, just because it isn't final yet doesn't mean that he can't date or even sleep with other women.

I don't think the story needs any more. MAYBE seeing Josie's reaction to Billie hooking up or marrying Kevin!

Where's chapter 2?

Good story, although the ending was short. Would have been nice to extend it to find out what happened with Billie and their relationship.

Interesting story but there are far too many loose ends. This story need an eloquent epilogue or a Chapter 2.

5*

Ok story, but its lacking payback on Paul. It could definitely use a sequel or at least an epilog.
