All Comments on 'What You See is What You Get'

This story can be regarded as a typical cheating wife story. The husband works himself hard to attain the American dream while the wife gets bored waiting for her husband to returned to her with his love and attention. The ending sentences are very good: that the divorce left her with no desire for sex or another marriage. There are some grammatical and typo problems but these are of minor importance. RAG

I liked that in the end she lost her sex drive. The one thing she thought she couldn't live without, now becomes something of such little consequence that she doesn't even miss it.

<p>

Really, sex happens for what, 20 minutes, probably less on average in a day that is 24 hours long. What happens during those other 23 hours is what makes a partnership thrive, the sex is the cherry on top, so to speak.

A very Stupid wife and a husband who did what he had to do. No real winners here. But justice was done on the wife and I hope she does really feel the loss of her loved one. But I doubt it. Anyway BLB far better that your last story. Although to be fair to you, you cant win really, can you. It doesn't matte rwhat you write someone will complain about it.

<p>Normally I would give this story a "Higher" rating, except for one thing:</p>

<p>Her cheating started during "Labor Day" in September. It was a month before that in August they started talking, but Leo kept saying "I'm about 6 months from completing this project" but that six months never came. At thanksgiving, in November, it was another six months. At Christmas, in December, it was "another six months". And after Christmas it was 3 months later that the project was complete. 8 months later roughly.</p>

<p>I mean every time I read "another six months" I started to feel bad for the wife. I've always said "Only someone who's been cheated on truly understands the hurt it causes", and I've been there, but I mean my god if that had been me I'm not so sure I'd have been there for him either.</p>

<p>I understand the story had him working for the family, but there wasn't any balance to what he was doing, and I totally feel bad for both. Leo for the wife he thought was waiting for him at home, but she was the company punching board for any and all the executives, and her because she was pinning her hopes on him "trying" to keep his word, and him breaking it at every turn. Leo's character noticed that his wife was out of sorts, but he ignored it till it was smacking him in the face. That made no sense to me. It wasn't convenient for him to work with her, even though she came to him. Even though he was working for the family they all came a distance 2nd.</p>

<p>So by the end of this tale I felt bad for both of them, and could root for neither. >=(</p>

<p>I've been where the husband's character was. My boss decided I was going to work 14-16 hour days. If you do the math, and there are only 24 hours in the day, and I spend 30-45 minutes commuting one way, so I would only have roughly 6 1/2 to 7 hours a day to do anything while I wasn't at work. At night. After anything of value had closed for the night. So I said no. My wife and I worked out a schedule where we split time picking up and minding the kids, cause she works too. My boss said that wasn't good enough and I needed to tell her to suck up the time he wanted me to spend at work</p>

<p>So I explained two things to him:</p>

<p> One, in about 20-30 years my kids would be grown and moved out. What would they have too look back on if I wasn't there? Exactly what "mark" would I leave on the company if did all this work? Sure they would pay me, but not any more of a salary for 40 hours than they would for 90-100. So is the company going to do something special for me? Not to mention how would the company compensate me for my impending divorce? Of course he started the "You have the wrong attitude" but my comment was, explain this to me so that it doesn't have any of the above mentioned negatives to it?</p>

<p>Two, the fair labor laws don't allow for salary folks to work all those hours. I would have to basically "Volunteer them to the company". If they expected them, to save money by basically working me like 2 people so they could save the salary for that extra person, that was a unfair labor practice.</p>

<p>I have to live with the fact that I'm not going to be VP anytime soon, but at the same point I like being around my family, and no project, to me, is so important that I'll walk away from them for an extended period to help other people make more money. Because lets face it, your boss will get a bigger paycheck bonus than you will for your work, and his boss will, and so on up to the highest reporting person over the project. But the guys (and gals) who get the least pay for the most amounts of work will be the ones doing all the legwork.</p>

<p>That's another reason I feel bad for the wife "kinda". I think her character selfishly seeking self help with other men was totally wrong, but she should have made more of an issue with it to the husband instead of letting it get to the point where she felt it was ok. Even though Leo's character was working for a better living for the family, he was doing it at their expense. If they didn't have children, and they "both" agreed to his working schedule, I'd tell her character to suck it up, but having kids and all that they entail, changes the rules of what it takes to be a good parent. =( </p>

Well written and I could not help feeling pain for both of them, as well as the kids.

It takes two to make a marriage. In this case you have to blame the husband almost as much as the wife. She was upfront with him and told him that he wasn't giving her what she needed. If he was able to adjust at first and make things better then there is no reason that he couldn't have kept that up except that he just didn't try hard enough. I mean come on, no matter how demanding your job you can take Sunday off and sleep late and then take care of your wife. And there are other jobs. Why not look for one? And why would his sons want to live with someone they never saw or spent time with? I would think they would have bonded a lot more with their mother. I know people can be emotional and not rational but the illogic in this story makes me mark it down some.

good written but overly sad story. you should try to find some more fun in life, maybe then your stories would be good and fun.

one of the best that I have read. Keep writing

I must apologize for my negative comments, but i have tried to read a couple of your stories and I did not find them interesting or erotic. I never sem to find any evidence of loving couples in your stories. In this one she gets tired of her sexless marriage and resorts to infidelity while he ignores her most of the time and acts like a chauvinistic thug when he is with her.Sorry it must be me not you because others seem to enjoy your stories.

the Ct.Yankee

But boy is this a sad story. You are a very interesting writer you write some interesting stories. Some I like some I don't. This one however I like, not because the wife got what was coming to her, although I am glad of that, no I thought the husband was right in what he did he took the evidence and what was in front of his eyes and took action. Could he EVER forgive the ex-wife? perhaps, after all many worse things have been forgiven in stories on this site. Would I forgive a wife like this not a chance. Do I sympathize with the wife? to a certain extent yes I do. the husband knew what she was like but didn't do anything about increasing their love life. Why not? Most men would. The job got in the way, not a good state of affairs. Anyway the ending was good but sad. Carry on writing.

Well written as previous commentators have noted. As Risq notes, it is so easy for men to get sucked into working too many hours (been there, done that). I think the key is that you have to put a time limit on how long you're going to work like that (I'd suggest no more than a 6-week sprint) and then stick to it. I agree with Pianoman - Leo was half at fault. If I were Yvonne, I'd be moving to Hawaii and staying as close to my family as I could.<p>The irony is that from a career standpoint, the extra hours worked is almost independent of ultimate career success. Focus, perspective, and luck are much more important.

Excellent,but sad story about the death of a marriage.As in all good stories,the plot is based upon reality.Both husband and wife have a hand in the destruction of the marriage.In his attempt to complete his project and better the life of his family,Leo destroys the thing he loves the most.No words can convey how badly Leo failed that most important priority in his life.That his wife strayed should have been no surprise for him as he knew she was a slut.How could he get mad at her for doing what was normal for her?In reality,she was just being herself.As for the wife,her culpability lies in her not trying to get some help from professionals that would allow her to cope with the bad situation that Leo placed her.The author is one of the only people on this site that acknowledges that women ,also,have human needs that must be dealt with or chaos will follow.Essentially,if the natural state of a marriage is tampered with,it must flounder.Ritterburg # 55

you write about this woman as if she was a dog that just couldn't stop herself from cheating... her entire life is controled by the throb between her legs. Is that really what you think of women? Certainly explains why you a sad, pathetic loser that has to write this crap, and jerk off to have any action in your life. Seriously, without a ounce of humor, if I was a woman in your life right, now, I would cut your throat in your self for just writing this absolutely ridiculous crap!

...top notch with a little more dialogue between husband and wife at critical junctures and some use of the settlement for further revenge?Pistolpackinpete

it's a good thing that the marriage was terminated. no one should have to live and grow old with someone as nasty as that. and the woman's pretty nasty, in a nasty way. <p>

"I should have brought my woman's hygien thing and he would not have beene able to taste my fucker's bodily ejection in my mouth! god, how dumb was I to have forgotten such hygienic things, if I was planning to fuck the boss in such a night!" LOL <p>

again, no man or woman should have to live and grow old with such a nasty character.

As if any court would pay you for wife getting sick of your lack of interest. What a pathetic fantasy. Or does that get you off?

Usually this author does not rate as high.

it was hard for me to sympathize with his pain. Yes, she betrayed him horribly. But no loving husband has the right to put his wife in last place for so long. I mean, sex less than once a month? For month after month? Sorry--I'd be cheating too after awhile. Thanks, ohio

As the title says, this is not my usual type of reply. I am saddened by what happened to this couple. She definitely messed up. But, she did warn him. When she came out and asked his permission she flat out said that she needed more sex than she had been getting. He was ok for a month and then quickly let his job get in the way again. Actually, if I am reading that correctly, it got in the way even worse.

<br>

<br>

And the fact that he took the kids as far away as Hawaii where "her name was never mentioned." He had no right to take her kids away like that. That was callous and despicable. He effectively killed her in the kids eyes.

Sure some things could have been done differently, but then it wouldn't be this story. What's pathetic is some readers who take a "fiction" with make believe characters so seriously. Anything in life is possible. Real life can be stranger than fiction. Take it with a grain of salt.

" Yes, she betrayed him horribly. But no loving husband has the right to put his wife in last place for so long." ---- I entirely disagree with that lame-assed statement. He had EVERY right to what he did, and a hell of a lot more. Obviously the shit-for-brains who made that statement never lived through a family that was destroyed by adultery. My advice to them - shut the fuck up until you know what you're talking about.

For the commenter who said " Yes, she betrayed him horribly. But no loving husband has the right to put his wife in last place for so long." what about wives with husbands serving in the military or disabled or in prison? Do their vow become a matter of convenience? The wife in this story had seen the effect of her suggestion of another partner on Leo and still she dallied with other men. How was she going to explain her threesome with Norm? The fact is that she was not going to stop cheating. Even after the project was done she would have found another excuse to cheat. If it meant that much to her she should at least gotten a legal separation. Anyway, great story - THANKS!

It was well written with a husband character whose actions were believable, and certainly understandable. The wife's selfishness caught up to her.

I know families that have been broken by adultery and ones that have been broken by the husband being a workaholic. The first is obvious, the the second is bad too. I have friends that never knew their fathers growing up. One had the same problem with his mom, but she was always volunteering for stuff and never gave attention at home. My dad stayed in his room and watched TV. Plenty of ways to ruin a marriage. to the author - thanks.

she would have had something for her to justify cheating. there was this alarm bell that should have been louder, where her hygiene and other needs were so easily take care of with alex. the deduction is for the lack of pi reports. photos, where what she was doing was verified and presented to her to further make the point. firings and consequences are good, and he could go forward,try to forget the hurt inflicted.

In your (extremely dumbassed) world, Military men (and women) shouldn't marry, eh? I always knew you were a Punk.

values sex above love and marriage. Sorry but the plot line went to far. I would have left her the night she suggested she fuck around on the marriage. She laid it on him, and he avoided the issue and to her mind that gave her a blank check. Women like this are worthless pieces of trash. You can find them by the dozens in bars, waiting to be picked up, or wanting a ten spot for a blow job. Trash is trash, always throw out the trash.

She fucked with her boss at work and that folks makes her a whore. So he was married to a very common whore. So be it.

piece of crap, anyone can write, only a few can write well, your not one of them.

We are all that way sometimes, aren't we? Good story.

The previous comment pretty much said it all, and I agree with it.

Up to a certain point the reader can understand the wife's sexual frustration. The over worked husband..a guy clearly headed for a heart attack or a stroke... has NOT been there for her.

But the Husband isnt spending evenings drinking with friends at bars. He is working.

Secondly the wife drops the bombshell on him... and vomits several times and had a total breakdown.

Yet the wife was STUNNED and shocked by his reaction.

".....Yvonne was completely unnerved. She had never, in her wildest dreams conceived of anything like what was taking place. He had completely misunderstood her. She sat there not knowing what to do. She had never seen Leo like this and it scared her...."

so the wife... after seeing ths reaction... STILL made a decision to cheat.

Perhaps IF the wife was not aware of Leo's reaction then she choice to cheat MIGHT have some sympathy.

Your abrupt ending took all the angst out of the story. Lengthen it out; let it breathe a bit and see where the character's natural emotions take them. Toy with the idea of reconciliation, even if you don't follow through on it. Realize that a shock like this takes time to comprehend for the betrayed spouse (witness Sandra Bullock and how long it took HER before she filed.)

Keep the story complex, while keeping the end a secret until you can no longer obscure it.

Good luck!

Illogical to the extreme. I gave it a 1.

The slut bitch got what she deserved.

Leo is a major jerk. He has a sexy wife with a high sex drive and he essentially abandons her. She is reaching her breaking point and suggests she take a lover to tide her over. Leo essentially swoons and cries over the idea. What a wuss. Then he continues to ignore her sexual needs. If this was a few week project, maybe he can do this. But SIX MONTHS? No way. Can you imagine a guy being told by his wife that she was too busy to have sex for SIX MONTHS? I don't condone her cheating but I can sure as heck understand it. Then she gets carried away and becomes a complete slut. She fucks at the party while her husband is with her? That moves it from satisfying her sexual needs to complete disrespect for her husband. The tone at the end is that the evil slut got what was coming to her and the poor husband recovered his life. Bullshit. He deserved to have his ass handed to him as well. A story about two jerks.

BOB is a possible answer: perhaps becoming a lying, cheating corporate whore is the only answer to a temporary reduction in sex from hubby in NH though...

However, if physical satisfaction is not the true motive here then slutting herself to multiple men and deceiving hubby might be fulfilling her more depraved psychological needs.

This story boils down to the same issue most cheating wife stories boil down to: man or cuck. The hubby in this story is a man and cucks cannot understand.

but the mind creates its own imagination. TK U MLJ LV NV

You understand her cheating? I have been married for 35 years. There have been times in our marriage that we have gone for long periods of time without sex because of various issues, mostly health.

You deal with it. There are ways of getting release. You never have to cheat!

I repeat, you never have to cheat!

Anyone that says different is just justifying because the are too selfish or too stupid to control their own urges.

Leo was making a sacrifice for the family. People who work to get ahead and don't depend on the government to pay for their trailer understand this type of sacrifice. She needed to as well.

There is no indication that he wanted to be away from his family. It wasn't like this was something that he did for their whole marriage.

Remember those little vows most of us took. If you can't hold to them you get a divorce, don't cheat.

In the end she lost everything and rightfully so.

The author did a good job with this story and Leo was a likeable guy. He was more understanding than I would have been. She on the other had is the sterotype of all cheaters. She is both stupid and self-centered only thinking about her own desires.

ohio, jasonnh, and a few others (no caps for you) giving yourself to another is not acceptable period! He was not an ahole, she broke the covenant she could have controlled herself at the time, hey the end showed it. ohio, I lost much respect for you.

For the read.

So .... She thinks the reason she lost her husband is because she didn't bring her "travel slut kit"? ...... Is she sure it had nothing to do with the total lack of respect by fucking/sucking her boss's dick while her husband was in the vicinity ? What a fucking moron! That's the problem marrying sluts, sluts will be sluts... She was a slut in college so it shouldn't have come as a shock to know she was still in fact a slut... I don't understand why he married her? She was cheating on him while they were dating... The husband should have known she was going to cheat on him when she asked him if it was ok to fuck other men, just because she apologized that didn't mean that she wasn't in danger of fucking around on him. I understand what the wife was going through, my husband started a new project six years in our relationship, our sex life deteriated from 4-5 a week to once a week to finally once a month, I'm not a nympho but I was very fuckstrated, I would initiate sex & I'd get I'm too tired, my back hurts, I have a headache -- you know --- bullshit... I talked to my husband about my feelings regarding our sexless relationship , some times he'd be so tired or so late coming home I'd be in bed or his dinner would be cold.. because I didn't want to do anything that could possibly ruin our relationship. So I did what most sane woman would do--- I purchased a vibrator! This is the option the idiot slut wife should've taken. And she should've been understanding regarding her husband hectic work load, the wife failed to remember that he doesn't choose to work longer nor did he chose to kill their sex life. She wasn't the only one who wasn't getting any, her husband didn't go out to cheat on her & than when she was caught she lied through her cum stained teeth about the number of times... So I understood her frustration but I have no sympathy for her, she was willing to destroy her marriage all because she was horny, she should've invested a vibrator at least until her husband can get back in the job. And the sad part was all she had to do was wait 3 months & things would've went back to normal but instead she ended up, jobless, single , no home & no children... I'd love to know if it was worth it?

Danger09 said everything I would have said. I'm glad I read her comment and her bio. I wish my dead wife was like her.

Remember

Don't cheat on your spouse

Consequences abound

unlikeable characters in unlikely situations. sad story about sad people.

I'll look at other writers in the future.

She thought she lost her husband because she dint have her kit with her at the party. Instead of being sorry for her actions, these were her thoughts. Cant show any sympathy to such a bitch, she fully deserved what she got.

he wasn't crying the whole time, he coulda got thru to her. getting to be a standard in these stories the man crying and heaving his food. gimme a break. tired of these wimpy facsimiles of men stories. yuk yuk'

COULDN'T GET PAST 1st PAGE

Started with intrigue and then ended in typical fashion. Thanks for the effort.

He did not tolerate any crap - good for him - she had no self control bad fer her -

Too bad - but classic - he got a big pay off - the kids - and a good future - hers sucked - again predictable.

There was an opportunity for an actual loving wife to come out and show how it oughgt to be done and stay true and supportive and get Leo's help to stop the seduction etc. Still somewhat formulaic you note - yes but of course most of the stories follow one formula or another - it is in the details we find fun.

Why is it that no one is mentioning that this guy only had sex with his wife once a month? I work 60 hours a week and I manage to have sex with my wife at least twice a week, and that is on a bad week. I know about being busy, but the fact that he didn't have a desire to have sex more than once a month is a reason to be concerned. If my wife only wanted to have sex once a month, I might be looking for something on the side too. No matter what you guys want to say about him not taking no crap from her, that is unacceptable.

Before you guys want to call me...whatever....I'm not saying that she was right for cheating. I'm saying that he was a loser. He is with his wife at a party. She is dressed sexy and is wearing no panties. What does he do? He leaves her alone to get on the phone for an hour? He couldn't take one night off? If that were me, we would have stayed at that party for about 20 minutes. Then we would have been heading home so that I could take her to pound town. No matter what you guys think, you have to keep your ladies satisfied. Just like you expect for her to leave her body available to you, you have to leave your body available to her. You can't keep someone from cheating on you, but you can make sure that you lower the temptation as much as possible. Marriages have to be maintained, or else it will break. If you want your car to last as long as it can, you have to keep the oil changed, get your tune ups, and keep the fluids full. If you want your marriage to last the distance, you have to go on dates, spend time together, and make love regularly.

Not excusing her. She was weak. She was wrong. He definitely did the right thing by divorcing her. But he shares some of the blame in this also.

This Leo is so clueless and I dont understand how someone can be to stupid and dont take actions about a slut wife

...Leo&Acirc;&acute;s abilities to recognize and solve problems do not match.There had been too many signs; he could not have overseen them for so long. Why do all those husbands become VP or CEO even though they usually walk blind through their life?

Apart from that I really enjoyed your story and gave her a niche 5. Thank you for writing.

Till the end.

Then it felt like a "fill in the blank".

when you look for excuses and alibis to cover up the fiasco. TK U MLJ LV NV

This seems to have been written one afternoon, from start to finish. Then posted in that same afternoon. The title makes no sense, given the context of the tale. It seems to simply be an aphorism that sounded good at the time of writing. Some non-critical parts of the tale were over-explained, and others, more critical, were sketchier.

3*

so what? did you enjoy the story, get pissed off at the lack of self control and rationalizations? If so, the story's fine. Jackass.

Volunteer your services as everyones editor or whatever.

Well? What did he expect? If I had done that to my wife she would have kicked me out of the house by the second month. No job can be more important than the family. Ever!! All in all, I think he got what he deserved. No woman should be put through what he was putting her through just for a job.

In real life, sometimes there are periods in which you need to do what's necessary to provide for your family long-term. Adults know that, and decent spouses understand that, too, and control themselves. I guess if someone is deployed the Fucktard thinks it's OK for the wife to go find "Jody".

Some folks think he was the bad guy? "She couldn't help but feel that none of this would have happened if she had brought her feminine hygiene kit with her to the Christmas party." So if she douched all would be well in paradise? She cheated! There are issue with his work schedule yes but cheating is not the answer. Get a dildo, a vibrator, talk to him over and over agin. She has no remorse in what she did. She is sorry she got caught because she didn't douche. She is the douche bag.

All a bit paint by numbers "cheating wife" story. Never really pulled me in with any real emotion.

Cheating wife got what.she deserved. Shouldn't have lied to.him. Friend finished her off.

He knew how she was when he married her. Did she get in over her head? Absolutely. Was it wrong? Of course. That said, she practically BEGS him repearedly to stay home with her. But no, sorry.

Seriously, he couldn't set aside the hours between 6 and 8 on Sunday morning for her? Have an assisstant on call from time to time for the simpler stuff? Just for a couple of hours from time to time? Everything had to be all about him? What total BS! That's bad management practice if nothing else.

Bet if his car was acting up he'd make time to get to the mechanic.

I laughed out loud when i read the line she said this wouldnt have happened if she had her hygiene kit at the Christmas party. No whore, it wouldnt happened if you weren't a cheating slut. Yeah I know its just a story.

What a crock. He blew off his wife and children for more than a year. Can't believe he had such a heartless employer. She should have sued his employer for alienation of affection and gotten full custody.. Why would his sons pick him for custody when he never saw nor had time for them. Besides it seems they were too young to be allowed to make that decision. I don't like cheating wives but he totally failed as a husband and father. She tried to explain her sexual needs and after a month it was back to nothing. what did he expect? Also needed more details about this important project.

She seems to do a lot of things against her better judgement. Not much of an adult, is she? How could he not see that train wreck coming?

Things like food and water are necessities that people can't live without.....not getting as much sex as you'd like from your spouse won't kill you but fucking other people without getting by-in from you spouse is a sure way to kill off a marriage. "I'm so horny I can't say no"...yeah right, if she'd had half a brain she would have taken up the slack by herself and worn out a slew of vibrators to take the edge off while her husband was stuck on that project from hell at work.

Before Labor Day, he has 6 months left on his work project. Most companies give Labor day off, but it's not a point worth arguing. The point that messes this up is that he still had 6 months left on his project at Christmas, four months later. How does that math work? Was everyone under him completely incompetent, and setting the project back? Was someone sabotaging his work, and delaying the project so he wouldn't get the promotion? How does a project make no progress in 4 months, and not get him fired?

Aah, might as well keep her since he cantmove on, better the devil u know than the one u dont... keep her in a grass skirt and coconuthalves

Cheating is always about entitlement plain and simple. Excuses like a high sex drive is just self serving and self pitying to act out on their entitlement to cheat on their relationship partner. People cheat because they give themselves permission to cheat — and that’s a matter of character or to be specific a "lack" of character! Healthy adult relationships are based upon reciprocity of love, respect, honor and fidelity. Infidelity is a toxically lopsided situation. Cheaters would have you believe that their "happiness", "needs", "wants" or "desires" are paramount to the relationship and takes preference over yours. But guess what, Cheaters don't get to have all the benefits of a marriage relations AND a side dish fuck whenever they want just because they think they're super special and entitled.

So, this self-righteous cunt is a workaholic. His wife tells him he isn't getting the job done. He promises to change and give her a love life. He lies, even after she told him the likely consequences of being a self-centered workaholic twat. Then when it becomes evident that he won't change, and she gives him the consequences, he gets all righteous. What a pussy. Can't give a woman what she wants, but he can go all cave-man on someone smaller and weaker. One star for this shit.

Why would the boys want to live with a dad who is never home?

Another weak, needy husband character who blubbers and vomits. Another wife who lacks self-control.

Same cliches, over and over. The husband is a saint. He’s slaving away for his family without appreciation. He’s a brilliant, go-to troubleshooter, but clueless as fuck about his wife.

The wife is another evil troll, like all wives, just looking to cheat without caring about the harm it will do to her life and family. No awareness, no consciousness of consequences, blind sexual need leading her to doom.

Only one thing wrong with this picture: sounds like most of my friends growing up! That’s what we men do!

In these stupid, cookie-cutter ‘stories’, the husbands are always completely faithful (not the real world I’ve been living in) and the wives are completely controlled by their basest urges. Again, not the real world.

It seems clear; the readers who lap this spittle up are living in their own weird realities.

I believe that she did wrong her boss did wrong

Leo is the bad guy in this one I actually feel sorry for the cheating wife. She tried to tell him.

I just love these fairy tale stories with their multi-million dollar settlements to the saintly husband. This one was a little disappointing because the wife didn't end up as a drug-addicted, street-walking hooker. /s

"Crying herself, she gathered his shoulders in her arms.” What a peculiar image. Were his shoulders loosely scattered about? Awkward, to the point of being absurd.

So, the two of them clearly need to talk and he demanded they do so since he’ll be up all night. His next statement on that subject: "In a sort of blubber, "You can talk if you want. I'm in no condition to talk right now.”” Is he a moron? And “a sort of blubber”? Again, a failed image, to blubber is a pejorative description of over emotional crying, conjuring images of snot and loss of control. So, the MC is vomiting and blubbering. Wonderful.

"Two weeks later, her infidelity was reawakened when Alex asked her for lunch.” I hope it had a good nap.

Telling the story from her perspective drained the tale of any real interest. All in all, a 2.

This was a great story. Yvonne justified her cheating on her sex drive and the fact that Leo could not satisfy her. But after she was divorced, her sex drive that got her into trouble, had diminished to nothing. Amazing. Seems like she just is one of those women who should not get married and should not have kids. Some men are like that too. Some people just are not marriage material. They are just too selfish and too self-centered to be able to make the compromises and sacrifices necessary to make a marriage work. Yvonne will be a lonely slut who could not control her sexual urges and lost everything as a result of giving into those urges. Great story. Five stars!!

Average story. Rushed ending. Unnecessary condemnation of people with high sexual drive.

There’s no rule or law that says “all cheating wives are to be burned at the stake. That’s medieval.. But we. Are mostly trained to “burn the bitch” so there’s no other solution. He didn’t have to burn her and his family to the ground. Civil adults should always be able to come to a more lenient, Especially on a 1st time affair. Besides, he had his brain on a project for so long, his family came second. So, everyone deserves a 2nd final chance. Put a postNup in the further relationship. If she behaves it’s never used. Just my opinion. As easy as it is for a guy to Play around, women do to. Just one strike….

"So, everyone deserves a 2nd final chance."

Ummm ... If the first final chance was actiually final then there is no opportunity for a "second final chance." 🙄

That was a proper ending for a cheating CUNT. Oh and us real men who have balls DO want to get medieval on a cheating CUNT! Unless you are a weak sissy coward.

Good story, sad but good!

The lesson here (besides the obvious) is NEVER let your job take precedence over your marriage and family.

And one of her biggest regrets was not bringing a travel douche? And he (Leo) is at fault for working his ass off and "neglecting" her needs? You mother-fuckers are delusional. The author was showing that this woman was headed in self-destruct mode and the only fuck-up Leo made was marrying the bitch in the first place. Fun story

What a sad story. But with all due respect, Leo got what he deserved. If he is that consequential to the project, he should negotiate time to be with his family as part of the deal. Sorry, seven days a week for a whole year; a company that is so blind to its employee’s needs; a man so weak as to allow his marriage to implode for ambition; so dense and unfeeling to his wife’s suffering and who had told him she could not handle it without some major changes? Yuck. In other words, there was zero spoken about why it had to be that way; why couldn’t he use leverage to get better conditions? And he should have treated his wife as a partner in decision making rather than as an object. A little self-consciousness as to doing that would have been healthier than the “holier than thou” attitude and disrespect he showed her. She paid him back in spades. And somehow that self-possessed woman pulled that nonsense at the office party? And then the way she subsequently behaved? Not a likeable character in the lot…

Last half page is too rushed.

another really enjoyable story about a wife losing track of what's important (the husband f'd up too by working too much... but she could have controlled her urges), becoming a cheating wife and the consequences of their mistakes. thanks.

the punishment on the wife seemed a bit harsh but then she blames it all on not having her travel hygiene kit (ha ha.) Other notes: she should have been able to find a better job than that and, like a recovering alcoholic, one decent cock and she'd have been back to being a slut to ease the pain of her losses... or maybe she learned her lesson and/or found a dedicated monorail operator to keep her satisfied.

(I agree that the ending was a little rushed, could have squeezed more out of that and crafted a more optimistic ending for the ex-husband, and perhaps the ex-wife too)
