All Comments on 'Twenty Minutes Ch. 03'

Ohio is so good at giving answers to little details, without overdoing it. For example, going with Tommy to get the keys made, NOT using a condom while at Tommy's, etc. I wondered what was coming re the condoms, and was quite pleased with the way ohio handled that issue. Two questions: 1. Why didn't Alex leave the keys in the shit? I can't imagine he needed either to lock the doors behind him. 2. Had he left the recorders in place? Did the phone tap pick up what people said when leaving messages? I started this question because I thought he might hear something incriminating, but no one would do that because that person should realize Alex might hear it. About the only thing he could have heard was if Tommy had left a message? Alex couldn't confront Angie because she didn't know about the taps. A VERY good reason to keep them in place going forward - to hear both sides of conversations.

Her friendship with Connie is over. This is a very negative influence in her life that must be eliminated.

Alex has 5 remaining Free Pass fucks left owed to him. He will hold these in reserve for the rest of their marriage.

She must have the following words tattooed over her vagina and anus: Alex's Property.

She must agree to organize their investments and finances so that in a future divorce she gets little or nothing from the marriage.

She must agree in advance that if they have children each child will have a DNA analysis to certify Alex is the biological father.

When trying to "un-fuck" Angie's and Tommy's affair, how could he even trust that she was telling the truth about anything, i.e., using condoms, whether Tommy was better than Alex, how many times they did it, etc. The worst parts for me was she and Tommy fucking in the marital bed--UNFORGIVABLE-- and she hesitating to write the letter about Tommy. Right there, I could have killed the bitch! NO RECONCILIATION!

It's okay for him to still feel some kind of love for her but a relationship cannot survive on love alone. Mutual respect, trust, faith, and belief are just as important and Angie failed in all of those.

But I really enjoyed the story! Thanks!

second time through and still love it. Five stars. I agree that Connie got off a bit easy. However, I'm not so sure what other options there were. He didn't want to destroy his friends life. Of course, the age old question remains unanswered . . . Is it better not knowing.

It's not that I wanted to see Connie blown up and destroyed, she just needed more than the bedevilment of a vigorous and active sex life. Just a bit of regret would have been nice.

As for Tommy, IMHO the reason he was an hour late, and the reason he insisted on a second round only twenty minutes before hubby was scheduled home, was a deliberate attempt to humiliate and cause turmoil in her marriage. He did deserve to suffer severe consequences. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. Not knowing is unsatisfactory.

and it has an inventive bit of revenge and blotting out the past.

However the main character seemed a bit schizo. On the one hand, he had these flashes of 'me big tough guy'. BUT...on the whole, he was very solicitous, even overly solicitous to his cheating wife. You know...the one who fucked a guy in their bed. One who fucked a guy mere minutes before her husband came home.

I get that forgiveness is always a gift and trying to make things worse won't make things better. Still...a bit less anger than I found satisfying. I DID love love love the 'you can find a new job easier than you can find a new husband' line. I wish I wrote it.

Last line should have been about asking her to go off birth control!

...but I couldn't do what he did,in real Life...she repeatedly cheated.

i agree with KarenE (which is unusual)

TwistedOliver.

The last line should have been, "Let's make a baby!"

i had the missfortunate experience of being an unwilling cuck for three years with my 3rd wife. i knew that she had serious phychological problems and wanted intensely to try to recover her humanity . eventually i gave up on her but ....apparently my lessons were not completely lost on her and she turned into a sweet old lady. we are now friends (without benefits) and her family still treats me as one of them. this happenned almost 30 years ago and 2 months ago i finally told her that i forgive her.

That part of the ending dealing with Connie was a real disappointment. She gave prime encouragement to Angie to cheat and was a serious abettor during the process. Alex should have told her that she (Connie) had to tell Brad that she had cheated on him, or Alex would give the evidence he had to Brad. It should have made no difference to Alex weather Brad divorced Connie, or not. Connie should have been punished rather than rewarded for her involvement, especially for the things she said about holding Brad in contempt.

unorthodox in conception, but I can see it working.

The last line of the story was supposed to be "let's have that kid now."

was he ex CIA, or FBI, I don't know how many guys would come up with his solutions, but a good read.

The cuckold forgivness thing can get old,but I thought it was a bit gritty at least.

It's true almost anything can be forgiven,I have seen it.

It still makes it hard to respect the character mostly,but maybe that wasn't what was supposed to come out of it.

As usual the prose was great.

Chill out guys, its only fiction. Your constitution gives you the write to speak your mind and this author is doing so. The fact he has caused emotions to rise in you shows he has written well. You might not like the subject matter but really its just a story.

While it's not the ending I would have written, I liked it. I guess Alex is just a more forgiving guy than I am. LOL

Thanks.

I wandered through this garbage for an hour. Only to find that you had left your hero right where you found him. Was it well written? Hell Yes! Did I like the out come? That would be a big fuck no!!! It's kind of like marrying your wife for the third time. A real no brainer.

Angie, the cheating, cum dump, WHORE wife

-OR-

another OHIOBLOW cuck/wimp/RAAC ENDING???

Cuckholds everywhere wait in their closets for the answer ...

OHIO=WIMP.

Nice story Ohio! I normally don't like this type of ending; but this one I did !

Only a few stories left now. Enjoyed this one. Well written as usual.

Never heard of anything like "writing over." I don't view this as a wimp husband case as much as I have with some of Ohio's other stories.

If it was only that easy to repair a marriage. Thanks for sharing.

To go back to the betrayer, the cheater, the destroyer of your world.

Nothing says more about a man who is willing to take that. Because it WILL happen again. It may take a few years, but it will happen again. Bet on it.

All the buildup and at the end the dumb husband just seemed to do things out of character and others that seemed silly. He "punished" Connie by making her have more sex with her husband? I don't know. It just seems both women were rewarded for their poor behavior.

Connie needed to have been burnt at the stake, Brad given copies of his talk with her. His wife is either slut or a mental idiot, either way why take damaged good back. The final nail in her coffin is her total disrespect of her husband and her marriage by bringing a man she didnt love into her home and husbands bed minutes before he is due home to fuck. With less than 20 minutes before he is due home she is till fucking and has to shower, get dress, get her lover out of the house, remove all traces of him having been there, and freshen up bedroom besides gettig the meal ready. She would have needed a lot of practice to accomplish all of that

sorry but i call bullshit no man should be this emotionally pathetic,honest honorable men should be example not a doormat... im sorry boo whoo forgive me tears, and before you know it you and your heart are burned, you cant cry to your buddies cause they will call you fag sissy and a bitch. tell a story about a man and friends and there response not this we can all just forgive and forget junk.

Emily, Brad, parents, friends. Never trust the cunt again.

Read the series and from the first chapter I knew where it was leading. I found it trite and contrived. The cure is worse than the disease. The moral of the story is cheat and you just need a wimp to get away with it. Or don't tell your spouse and everything will be fine. I gave the series a ***.

I'm an admitted hard core son of a bitch. If my wife cheated on me, it wouldn't matter how much she cried and begged our marriage would be over. She would have forfieted the right to be married to me. I would never be able to truly trust or respect her again. Maybe, she could stay around as a my personal fuck toy, but not a wife. That's my position and I'm sticking to it. I gave parts 2 and 3 1 star. I submit this as anonymous to keep to keep the candyass wimp pussies off my back.

Yes it was a nice happy ending. Yes all parties were together in the end, including the conniving friend Connie. And yes it seems that all's well that end's well.

It's just a shame that this isn't a true to life tale. Still a great read.

but a man, let's be realistic. Divorce because of cheating is about 80% of divorces in the US. They file under UD because the law on no default my it's so much easier for the cheating slut/ sorry assed bastard. But, the male in ohio stories have to be the most sensitive guys in history. People are that understanding.

Truly a master story teller. Only one line in the whole story I would have changed and it was the last line. Instead of

"I think we're doing pretty damn well, Angie. Pretty damn well."

I think it would have been better as

"I'm ready for a baby, Angie. How about two?"

What I really don't get is why any wife on this planet should need a special reason to make her husband the happiest guy on earth. I mean its easy, just screw him at any possible chance, thats really no rocket science.

Thanks for a good story with a couple of unique twists. The idea of admitting to an affair that never happened killed two birds with one stone. She felt the pain and in the end was forced to confess.

Writing over the experiences was interesting. That had to be for her benefit of course, to replace her memories of Tommy with memories of her husband. I don't have an opinion about whether that would work but it was an interesting plot twist.

Thanks again and write more!

I donot think I could be like that, good storie though....bill

I see the comments from others about how absurb the concept is. However, given how often the same plots are used by author after author I liked the uniqueness. Keep writing, Ohio. It is a pleasure reading a new twist on an old problem.

its swell, until the next opportunity presents itself for her. He saw there were options and should have taken them, without her.

Really good, I had to read until I finished. To tell the truth, It is not entirely a made up story. By that I mean that part of it is real. My wife has passed now, lung cancer, but at one time we had same problem. I made up an affair of my own to get her to confess . Good story.

Author should have this story in humor and satire - surely can be a serious tale.

Writing over the affair by re-enacting it is absurd and stupid. I would have liked to know more about his surveillance of his house when he first went to florida and when he came back. For a guy who was having serious trust issues you would think he would run for the recordings as soon as he had a chance after he got home and would keep checking them. Him allowing his wife and Connie's friendship to continue after Connie's influence in the affair and her advice after his false confession is equally insane. A really weak premise for reconciliation overall. He should have gotten the teacher fired from his job too. I was disappointed with the retribution.

Good reconciliation story once again. I enjoyed reading it a lot. Thanks a lot for your effort and keep up the great work. ^__^

I can't exactly put my finger on it but this dude, Alex, seems really weird. I know I stopped rooting for this guy about midway through Ch. 2.

More creampie for the wimp!!

AFTER ALL THAT, HE TOOK HER BACK AND HOPEFULLY LIVE HAPPILY EVERAFTER. WRONG....AND HER BEST FRIEND, NOTHING.....JUST GAVE HER HUSBAND A DREAM ANY MALE COULD WANT. TK U MLJ LV NV PS FOR DOUBLE O. YOU DO HAVE TALENT

I've read a lot of stories lately with hurt, rejection, and revenge. I like that you used the hurt, only dipped lightly into the rejection, and totally avoided the revenge. Well, except for Tommy.

Nice story. I would have liked it to end with the line Alex promised Angie he would use when he thought they were back together enough to go ahead and have kids.

Alex is such a sweet and lovable cuck. Can we have him join Missionaries Of Charity and call him Sister Alex?

Write over? The dumbest fuckin thing I ever heard of. Yeah that's agreat bit of retribution, you dumb fuck.

Just came here to give it one star...cannot take his weak, vile men who believe the proper response for betrayal is to betray.

I understand Alex's desires to "save" his marriage but letting that "Skank" Connie off without telling Brad about her adultery killed what was a decent story. After Connie almost ruined his marriage, Brad has every right and obligation to provide a little of the same to her marriage. Remember, what comes around goes around! A decent story with a weak ending! My guess is the "Cuck" crowd will be all over this one ...

I think Angie did suffer enough pain and humiliation to justify resumption of the relationship. But Brad had a right to know and should have been told, and I see this as a serious weakness.

mister magnanimous? not really, just another wimp - both women were despicable in their actions and their cvharacter - who would WANT to be with them? then Alex totally disrespect his friend Brad by not telling him that Coniie is cheating - with friends like Alex who needs enemies? Total crap

Fortunatly you've gotten better since '05.

Doing the wife in the guy's apartment is really lame; no, really, really lame.

it got progressively worse.

I appreciate the technical quality of the writing and grammar in your stories. The write-over twist was a great idea. I was enjoying the lack of anal fetishism in this story then up it popped. I don't judge folks who like anal, but personally would rather it be kept to fetish stories. My main feeling is that it's portrayed as a domination or humiliation theme for males rather than a true pleasure for both partners.

The progression of reconciliation was especially thoughtful and satisfying.

Don't really understand the negative comments here. The story was well written. I liked it. If I were writing the same story, I would test Angie. I would have called Connie over and had Alex tell Angie that that they were divorcing, unless they did one of the following things:

1. All three of them go over and reveal everything to Brad and the role Connie had in Angie's adultery as well as her own affair.

2. Go upstairs and have Angie watch Connie give Alex a blow job.

Let them sweat. I wouldn't actually have them go through with either because Alex wants to reconcile, but it would be interesting to see what Angie would choose.

lucky i read some of your other stories or i would think you are retarded now i know your just an idiot.

good job making her feel his side, then I liked his calm statement that if it ever happened again he'd kill her. unusual way to work things out, writting over it, but whatever works. comments regarding his supposed infidelity with the whore in fla are beyond belief, he was just following the ground rules she laid out, anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot. they hadn't reconciled at that point so whatever he did was fair game. I liked that fact that he mailed pictures to the lover's fiance, though connie should be feeling a little more heat

I think the husband got the short end of the situation but if he loved his wife enough to forgive her, that is his choice. I still can't have much sympathy for a wife who so casually enters into an affair. I loved the way that he got her to experience the feeling of the other partner. anon jerry

I think that Alec demeaned himself with the hooker. He believes in fidelity but then pays a woman $400 whose "business" is having sex with men, many of whom are married. It cannot have affirmed his manhood nor could it have been a positive contribution to his growth, no matter how spontaneous and out of character an experience it was for him. He rejects adultery in his own wife and in Connie but then participates in a meaningless act of sex with a woman that lives in a world that is nearly synonymous with the very thing that he condemns. Good story otherwise but that part of it does not compute for me.

. . . and he gets a hooker??? Duh! That does not seem like an even trade. Guy is a total wuss, no wonder she cheated on him and will continue to do so.

I liked how Tommy's thoughts were replaced and the 'punishment' meted out to Connie. I generally dislike reading stories from Loving Wives category, but I really really like your stories.

if you dont throw it out it begins to rot and stink. There are two skanks in this story and both belong on the street. He needed to recycle and get a real wife, not one that is there because she is afraid. Where was the discussion of medical testing, oh yes, they used condoms. Well condoms arent totally safe and used the way some people use then they arent safe at all. The medical testing needs to be done and done for up to a year. No kids, not real problem. He has the proof of her adultry. The divorce should have been quick and clean.

"no, honey, the time I first went to his place, he carried me over to his bed, rubbed things so sexily on my back, and then..." <p>

"okay, okay, I know,,,, let me try to emulate him, see if I can be half as good, okay..." <p>

"well, you may not be,, ,but I love you SO MUCH... and I will never cheat on you again... the bastard,,, after those few times, he started bringing in a lot of men and women,,, at first I loved it but then he went further and started beating me black and blue, thinking it's all very erotic... Gawd, I endured that for months and months.... but now I am back with you... I love you so much,,,, loved you, even when he was fucking and beating me black and blue" <p>

"oh, beloved, I am so glad you came to your senses and came back to me; I will never ACCUSE you of cheaing again, even if you are really doing it in front of me... I love you so much, I can't lieve without you!" <p>

I mean, that's pretty much what this chapter's about!

You worked hard at making the reconciliation worthwhile and I loved the effort you and your characters put into it. It was like they romanced each other and fell in love all over again, working ten times as hard this second time around. They had the love and romance that what we all would love to experience in real life. Too bad its only fiction. A great story of love, cheating, forgiveness and romance. This is the second time I have read it and it is one of the best reconciliation stories ever. In fact, its a damn fine story about loving spouses period...

An Old romantic and now retired, State Cop

im with some of the other comments on here that i liked the first chapter but then you lost me by the end of the 2nd i thought alex had something up his sleave to get back at her like showing her what she had with him and now lost in the 3rd...but then the story just went weird it should have been titled how i rewarded my cheating wife with lots of sex .. duh .. he just turned into a total wimp not even punishing the lover realy or her friend ..so the next time she cheats he gets to write that over too???? oh well its your story ...B.N.

have pushed them out of the story. There were a few parts I really liked for one reason or another. How about the most braindead item in the story, they used condoms to fuck but she sucked him off bare. Every heard of bodily fluids, ever heard of HIV/AIDS? Oh yes for our braindead fellow travelers yes you can get HIV by oral sex as well as several other nice STDs. He was so nice and comforting, fucking a married woman, cheating on his fiance, wow really good character that. And the scene where he comes in on Connie and the slut talking and Connie looks guilty. Wife says it was because she wouldnt say more, did he even botther to check on the reocorder, after all the trust was already lost. One her second tryst she goes in like a whore, no panties ready for use, wow. And she wants to raise kids! I say divorce the used slut, if he wants a good woman marry the whore in Florida she seemed like a good one, after all if you are going to be married to a slut it may as well be a slut you really like that really likes you. The wife has already proven she cares very little for you and for the marriage until you attempt to take away her lifestyle.

The entire story was overly contrived, and Alex would surely not have reconciled with Angie, given their relatively short while together. Be that as it may, the "retribution" that Alex required of Connie was way beyond credibility.<p>

What Alex could have done that would have been more believable would have been to say, "I will not tell Brad about your affair...YOU will." Then give her a week or so to actually tell Brad that she had cheated on him; thought less of him as a result of the affair; had developed some contempt for him; and enjoyed the sex during her affair.<p>

After that confession, she would have to decide whether to try to save her marriage, and to undergo the hell that would be associated with that.<p>

But the author sought to effect an ending that caused no pain because he did not want to exert the energy required to write a more realistic ending.<p>

You know...the basic story was not too bad except that the ending ruined it.

All comments from so-called "real" men aside(glad to know that anger and lack of control are the relevant attributes of "real" manhood!)-ha-ha-yeah, at least to the women-hating insecure fake "men" who seem to populate this site,I still have to say that reconciliation would be unlikely given that the marriage was only a few years young, no children etc.Good expository writing on dealing with emotions though.Wow!-you just might have the makings of a "real" man?-No, on second thought just get a gun and blow them all away,ha-ha!!!Pistolpackinpete

tired of all the complaints about not being a man if you don't pitch the bitch to the street. It was a differnat story but all you guys talk big. Its just a story but forgiveness goes both ways. Up until the point that he went to Florida he had a right to be pissed, once he dipped his wick, the score was even. He became a cheating husband. Whether they were seperated or not, they are still married, just because she broke her vows, he didn't have too. In my eyes it made him look even weaker

No, nope and nada. You manage to wimp out nearly every one of your primary male characters and put his dialogue as if he was a 14 year old along with his way of thinking - as a nerd. Give it up, take a minute and get a man to edit your stories, you'll soon find out your depiction of men is nowhere near truth. If you wanna explore a man's emotions whose wifey is cheating ask a man, a real man, not a wimpy wuss.

HI, I just can,t help but wonder if Alex left the mic,s and recorders in place ,just so he could ck, once in awhhile to make sure,I,m pretty sure I would have to do this because I know it would take a long long time to ever trust again ,Also seemed like a lot of backtracking reading the same thing over and over,but in genral injoyed the story,except I too am tired of wimy husbands ,II,m afrad if my hubby was wimpy I may just do the same thing for excitment,

Write over her cheating? Give me a fucking break that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of.

wimp story as usual. whats with you and spineless wimpy husbands? its high time you wrote a story where the husband actually grows a backbone and delivers some real retribution. make the slut wife pay for a change. that apart, you are an exceptionally great writer.you surely are gifted. all marks i gave are for the writing skills and not for the story.

Awh Ohio. I know peace love and understanding right :) F* that. The woman that cheat on you is not your woman anymore. If she ever was, and if you have kids with her and finds out :) Guess what your next question will be. Look Man, do you have any f*ng idea how many people gets hurt from being with one of those ****? What if the kids shows up to somebody else's? How will you tell them? Will you tell them?? Will you even want to find out, its your kids were talking about here, those that grew up with you Man. And the trust that burns... You've never been there I guess... A little like a peeping tom sneaking glances over someones shoulder. Reconciliation is possible sometimes, but the wound has to be opened and aired. Otherwise it will fester. And not by licking ass. Your stories seems very ambivalent to me. Be a man about, you don't have to kill anyone but at least don't end up licking ass. Cheers Yoron.

What is with all the candy assed husbands in your stories?

I mean sure sometimes reconciliation is possible but men in general tend to get quite mean when they get hurt, and the three worst things I can think of are 1:rejection 2:betrayal and 3:humiliation. A cheating wife fulfills all three so I really don't think I would be so tender hearted toward a woman that violated the vows of marriage, quite the contrary I'd be really vicious since the three items I named above are truly the deepest,darkest fears I can think of. Even if I did have some love for her left my mind could not possibly work in the fashion your stories seem always follow. With this particular story it's not only once but twice she has betrayed her husband and he not only remains faithful to her but lets her completely off the hook with no real repercussions other than making her use a dildo for a few months. The only part I cared for was when he kicked the whore's lover in the nuts and that only proved that he was somewhat less than a man, as the beating I'd have given him would have at the very least sent him to the hospital and she would more than likely gotten the same treatment.

What Zed said below...

...WIMP STORY! Entertaining read but still a wimp story about a poor little pussy boy who is now #2.

It may be true that you can't completely erase the memory of some scenarios but the conditioning (write over) that Alex and Angie performed were significant in two ways. 1) Respondent behavior is behavior that we do not have direct control over, such as, adrenalin, salivating, and other hormones. These are responses caused by certain stimuli, like Pavlov's dog and salivating when presented with meat. Pair that with the sound of a bell repeatedly and soon the dog will salivate at the sound of a bell. The stimulus for Alex was his bedroom which elicited adrenalin causing anxiety. By reconditioning (write over) that stimulus and response he was able to diminish his respondent response of anxiety. The more times he repeated the pairing with Angie in his own bed the more diminished the anxiety becomes. (any first year Psych student knows that because I taught it to them). 2) Operant behavior is any response we have direct control over; raising your arm, running, imagery, etc. Conversely operant conditioning simply is a behavior that is rewarded or punished. Here we are talking about imagery or memory. Since, memory is directly correlated to repetition and Alex only heard Tommy and Angie once (accept in his head and even though that was very punishing) the more he hears Angie and himself again in their own bed and is associated with sex and an orgasm, being the reward, the more it will overide the previous memory until he won't even spontaneously recall the memory unless he wills it and then because of the respondent condition it will elicit very little if any anxiety. Hell, in their frantic quest to rid themselves of the offending feelings the affair could get paired with the increase of sexual activity so in a few years they could view it as the event that started their sexual bliss. So, having a Masters in Psychology and as a behavior analyst by trade not only is Ohio's over write process plausible but it is probably the fastest and most efficient way to get over the respondent and operant effects of Angies affair. Remember: The more you learn the more you forget. As usual, excellent story Ohio and behaviorally correct.

Alex the husband was believable except he had a big flaw. he wanted to overwrite what Angie and Tommy did. You can never erase something that has happened. A first year Psyche major is taught that. Tutt Tutt that you forgot this one little thing. One day Alex (oh I know he's not real but a figment of your imagination) will wake up and find that nothings been erased.

Some of the problems have been listed in other comments. I also felt it was not appropriate for Brad to have the night with Nicole, the hooker. Brad may be a good swimmer, but Tommy is a phys. ed. teacher and presumably into physical fitness all the time, working out all the time, etc. Someone like that, who is big and the "football player type" as described in the story is quite likely to haul off and punch out Brad when Brad shows him the letter, not simply talk about the situation. Suppose Brad's jaw gets broken, or he gets a concussion, or maybe hurt even worse? He'd be off work, or dead. Tommy can claim an attempt at blackmail (which is against the law, the last I'd heard; adultery and breaking up a marriage is despicable but won't counter balance blackmail) and I suspect a court would be lenient regarding any type of assault charge. Even though Brad loves Angie, the story did not really convince me that getting back together was plausible given the background and circumstances. Well-written and entertaining story even though I did not agree with the plot as being a credible one.

Before letting her off the hook Alex should have made her write out two things 1. a detailed confession/description of her slutty behaviour signed witnessed etc, and 2. A description of how she would feel if Brad cheated. Alex could have held those documents safe for say 20 years then returned them to Connie.

But a bit [very] unusual.. I'm not sure you CAN write over the image of your wife fucking someone else.. But it makes a good story idea..

Another great episode.

However, I share a little of the skepticism of some of the other readers.

I have a nagging feeling that the "write-over" tactic may backfire. I have an idea that all this did was to reinforce the excitement of the cheating, and that will still be a temptation for her.

I see her getting an itch that needs to be scratced in time. I also see Connie having plans to seduce him as a "thanks" for keeping her secret from Brad. And then, Connie wins by having his neck in her noose.

A nice story ruined by two women. Women are never sorry about affairs they are only sorry they got caught. They always know what they are doing and the affair is intentional. They will destroy, their husband, their marriage and even their children, knowing they are wrong and adulterous as they do it. ONce past the first nervous stage it gets easier and easier. Once a cheater always a cheater, it is part of their personality, if you will a mental incapacity. Women complain of men thinking with their penis while they go in lust to fill their "vaginas" with sperm. Spare me the its fine dear come home. She commited a sin, adultry, broke her marriage vows - taking no others, and the law - adultry in most stages is illegal. Put the trash out and get on with your life, why take damaged goods.

reconciliation based upon the author's 2005 stories. 30% of the time the husband leaves or reject the cheating wife and one story was a mystery (The Worst Week of My Life). What is disturbing is that half of the reconciliations involve the husband cheating during this period as part of the healing process. Huh!

The basic premise of these cheating spouse stories is that martial fidelity is highly valued or essential to the marriage otherwise the couple is just a fuck buddies or friends with benefits arrangement. More importantly, why the drama?

In this story, you speak exceedingly well why cheating hurts regardless if it is disclosed or not. Unfortunately, Alex has to fuck a hooker in order to feel like a man and then he says to Angie that it was not revenge sex. So Alex who have been on business trips have never been approached by a hooker? Come on!

I have to agree with Phoenix764's comments that the hooker fuck was unnecessary and lowered Alex down to Angie's level (actually lower since he has felt personally how casual sex with others can hurt your partner). I thought Angie's writing campaign was like therapy although there was a fantasy aspect to it. In real life, it is not their antics (blow by blow) that is important but how can he ever trust this woman again? The story never answered that question.

Bottom Line: Alex and Angie both broke their vows on a whim so when temptation occurs again they know that the other had not resisted so why should they do then?

SleeplessinMD

I have to comment further. I just read the comments of Pheonix764, and he nailed it. As Brother Dave Gardner used to say, his comments hummed like a tenpenny finishing nail hit with a greasy ball penn hammer. Had I read his comments before writing my first comments, I would just have said "ditto".

Cheers!

I just re-read your story after a long hiatus, and I had an idea that did not occur to me the first time. A better retribution against Connie would have been for Alex to force Connie to confess her infidelity to Brad, and then let events take their course.

Also, Angie should have been required to be tested for STD's and not have sex of any kind for at least six months (the time required to be 98 percent sure against HIV) At least that would have introduced some sense of reality into the tame and unbelievable ending of the story.

The story, throughout almost all of it, was quite good, but the ending left the reader wondering "what the...?"

Cheers!

than you would've all 100% in ratings,but that life everybody isn't the same.that why this story was good for me and some people it wasn't.good thinking people read this story and say he had a plan and it save his marriage,what wrong with that.if he happy i'm happy,i bet that the people who are mad don't have a life and want everybody to be sad or mad.good plot and good writing.i'm not a writer i hope you get my meaning about the comments.

Although you wrie some wonderful stories this is not one of them. Angie was an adulterer and Alex would have been justified in divorcing her. But Alex, after being crushed by Angies cheating, Goes out and has sex with a prostitute, The next two chapters consist of Angie apologizing over and over again while Alex becomes a control freak, lying to her lover , making a weird arrangement with friend Connie and having wild sex with Angie. I don't see any evidence of Alex apologizing for his sex with the prostitute. I can only assume Alex became a psychotic when he heard Angie cheating. Angie should let him divorce her. the Ct. Yankee

Frankly, I loved this story (all 3 chapters). It was well written with an interesting plot and real characters. Normal people do sometimes make mistakes! Their marriage had become rather stale and predictable so Angie had an affair. I am surprised that Alex was not the first to 'go bad', as he eventually did. After only one lover (each?) the efforts of both parties in a difficult reconcilliation were justified. I truly believe that most of us prefer a 'happy' ending although you might not think this from the comments you receive. Keep up the good work!

Why is it that people who give a high score to a story that they like can’t just sit quietly and enjoy themselves? Or do they? Let me hold your hands… No way! If something still bothers you, admit it to yourself and don’t whine on other readers take!

What a hodgepodge you made here, Ohio. This wife got her fun from having a STRANGE man, FORBIDDEN love and playing with SECRETS. Plus she has some grudge over her husband or else she would not do this classic act of HOSTILITY towards him behind his back (it was not a one time thing, she was not drunk and not under drugs). You pointed to this fact earlier as a “must find why” thing, but than you came with the idea of leaving it all hanging, and suddenly he is into the writing over business. What was he’ writing – over’ over? His more of the same, older age peace and family harmony? All the things that pushed her away for some reason. It’s like putting off fire with gasoline! As she tells him it’s like going back to the scene of the crime, but I have to see the one who solved a crime by fucking at the scene and leaving his own evidence all around. Mr., detective? Did you think to ask the main suspect right next to you any of the first questions in the business like MOTIVES (I know that you did the re enactment part). There is no way around her real issues, their real issues. Even from the best trip you wake up, with a hell of a head ache. It’s best that you write over this writing- over gimmick style, and go back to where you are very good - people with real feelings and real problems etc.

Lot's to think about in this story. That the husband could still value the wife even after she cheated on him. His metod of getting revenge -yes the "soft way" does often work best- and the lack of direct revenge on the wife's best friend all lead to a potentially better marriage for both couples. As for the seducer, he too gets what he deserves.

Not a stroke story, but a good story. Thank you.

it's likely "an experiment" on ohio's part, and so if you take it as such, i guess it's quite err "experimental"!

but as a story, it's incoherent,,, it's simply, okay, let's us see what's gonna happen. hookers along the way? fine!

but, god, dear wifey, i love you so much --- whether you did this to me or not; but you did it, yes. i still love you like hell, even sleeping with hookers, trying to forget what you did, was not enough!

i hurt like hell, but just give me time; i'll get over, it, i assure you, okay?

but first, we gonna blackmail your fuckbuddy and get an extra key, so we can go over to his place, when he's not home, so i can fuck you as he did, all over the floor, bathroom his bed!

that's the only things that will get me to get over your cheating quick, as i will show you i can fuck you just like he did, in his place!

oh, and your friend Connie,,, she's got something coming, that bitch had talked you into cheating: i'm gonna make her pay big time!

he then goes over to her: Connie, you had better fuck your husband day and night, making sure you swallow every drop he has to offer and smile and compliment what a good lover he is,,, cuz' otherwise, Connie, i'm gonna fuck you myself, you cheating slut!

what a complete joke of a silly story!! lol

Ohio, I've enjoyed all the rest of your stories, but this one doesn't make sense. I can understand his fake story about cheating, but after that it falls apart. Why would he want to committ the error of adultery (with a hooker) which caused the marriage so much pain. He should be afraid of catching a STD from her. How he can reconcile with her so quickly is beyond comprehension. She lied to him, committed adultery, and broke the trust in the marriage. Hard work with a marriage counsellor might get them back on the road to a decent marriage, but we're talking months, not days! Why would he even want to touch her, until she's passed several STD tests for at least the next 6 months? They never got to the root of the problem as to why she cheated. If that isn't solved, then why stay together? He doesn't need to cheat to get back at her; just stay away from her and remind her to look in the mirror to see the person responsible for destroying their marriage. The marriage as they knew it is dead and gone; what remains is a choice to either build a new marriage or throw in the towel and get divorced. I think he also let Angie off easily with regard to her "best friend". Best friends don't talk them into self-destructive actions. He also let Connie off. Brad should have been told, simply to protect his health. Both Connie and Angie would have a high likelyhood of cheating in the future. Maybe the best thing for the husbands to do would be to divorce their wives, and tell them they would consisder dating them again 1 year after the divorce if their wives stayed celibate during that time, and did not go out with, flirt with, or have any non-business discussions with any man. I would also include STD's, and a lie detector test(I'd prefer sodium pentathol as it is more reliable). If they passed all of that, and they got back together there should be a pre-nuptial agreement that severely punishes someone that committs adultery. Instead of all of that, I'd see if some lawyers could draw up a reconcilliation agreement. Essentially stating that they would get back togther under certain terms, and that in the case of adultery severe penalties would ensue.

Sorry Ohio, it just wasn't believable. Nowhere near the quality of your other work.

After reading the first chapter, I thought we were in for something special;however, chapter 2 heralded that ‘the wheels had fallen off.’

I consider myself open minded and, as I’ve said before, I'm a believer in the old adage, ‘There’s none as queer as folk;’ nevertheless, the ‘write-over’ never struck me as being a valid solution because, IMHO, only time can erase memories, good or bad.

By preference, I like the couple to stay together so the ending was fine by me.

My final feelings were those that said, Alex had achieved very little apart from being predictable and bottling up trouble for another day.

Ohio, I still honour my comment in Chapter1…

I like the way you tell em…

My best regards.
