A good story, but she'll be manipulating him all his life...The weaks point in in his theory about she not having a cheating character: She married his friend just to be near him as she loved him at first sight, she fucked her husband wildly (as his friend told him), but loved him not the husband, and if he had fallen in tempetation and fucked her, she woudn't divorce the husband and wouldn't love anymore? She was so smart that she found out about the camera? After all this how could he be sure that someday she would cheat on him? Her way of living is that she loved only herself, and all world was there for her pleasure...This is clearly the thinking of a selfish cheater...2*
Second impression: I don't care if he was manipulated. That is one of the failures of 'Lazy Lemon Sun' by Rhenquist. I was not terribly upset that the protag was manipulated. Did he get what he wanted? Was he happy? If my wife manipulated me to exercise and live longer because she loved me, is that a bad thing?
But my third impression...test of character. Well, he had his test. He is a good man. He did what was necessary for his...let me highlight this BEST FRIEND!
And what does HER character show? She was fully ready to immolate his BEST FRIENDSHIP just so she could get what he wanted. What if he had said no? What if he was so emotionally traumatized, he could not get together with her?
She lost nothing. She lost a husband she didn't particularly care about (thinking of a word. Starts with an F and ends with an 'raud') HE lost is best friend. Actually ALL his friends. He moved. And it looks pretty bad for him. Terry is going to spread tales.
Now, is she worth all that? The author answered that question. Yes. She was worth all that.
But it was a heck of a thing to do. Not the manipulation, but the DAMAGE. Because, I don't care about manipulation per se. I care about DAMAGE and PAIN. And there, she fails.
This is a perfect example of a woman's reasoning. Instead of being honest, breaking up with Terry and trying to get together with Roger, she HEDGED her bets and tried to keep Terry while she went for Roger. In essence, she didn't love Terry, she used him. She played with Roger, tested him, then after years of wasting Terry's time (and money) she destroyed their friendship and precipitated a divorce. While she may not have been technically a cheater, she did betray her husband, showed him no respect and lied to him, if only by omission. So, while the sex may be fun, it ain't love kid. Stupid Roger is hooking up with a woman that has a lousy track record of pure selfishness to the point of harming those she claimed to care about. Not too smart, and after being with her for a year, really stupid.
first off, why is it the hotter the women the more games they play. because they know they can get away with it. also, it seems to me she only started to flirt with him when her slutty bridesmaid told her he had a big dick. maybe he should test her character.
It is more original than most stories here but I have to say that I am disappointed in the loss of the lifelong friendship because of a manipulating female. I understand they had feelings for each other but making him lose his best friend like that is not much better than a cheater.
I haven't seen anything close to it on Loving Wives before -- something that is hard to say given the thousands of stories. One thing that the commenters missed -- it was the friend's paranoid reaction to him getting the goods on Ashley that ultimately broke up the friendship.
5*
SHE created the situation which made the friend paranoid. So there is not redemption for her. If my friend was sleeping next to me and she came up and swatted him in the head where he could not see it, and he socked ME as a result, is it the friend or is it the woman who was the cause of the problem between us?
I agree a very good and original story but why is believing what your best friend tells you with obvious angst paranoid esp after having observed his wife's behavior to the friend. Very interesting story that mostly succeeded in making the wife not be as bad as as her actions taken at face value would have made her. Still best friend (replacement husband) should remain a little "paranoid" for a long time with such a master manipulator for a wife especially one who thought nothing of destroying a life time friendship by being underhanded instead of choosing honesty as her methodology.
But to trust this manipulative woman would be a mistake. She really just admits to being a self centered, dishonest person. Why not just break up with Terry (and what happened to poor old Terry?) and try dating Roger? And why would he even let her in the door? She insults him by calling him "clueless" and a "doofus" practically in the same breath, then she flat out tells him she manipulated him. This is a woman you can love or trust? His problem is that he's being led around by the "little head". She may be great in bed, but as a long term partner I don't think so. So while I liked the story, Roger ending up with her as his wife was a total disaster and ruined the story.
Agree it would be more direct (read that: male-think) if she had just told her newly-wed Hubby that she had fallen in Love-at-First-Sight with his Best Bud. Thus, Sweetie wanted to cancel the honeymoon and annul the marriage! BUT, Sweetie is a grown female ... 'direct'/male-think is anathema!
To many commenters (AND the author!) - Our Hero and Sweetie first saw each other WHEN? The days immediately before the wedding! Hubby1 and Sweetie were NOT strangers! The were betrothed. In simpler words ... They had known and liked each other enough to pledge their lives to each other BEFORE Our Hero got involved! Sweetie SUSPECTED that her connection with Hubby1 was NO LONGER enough before the wedding, but was NOT positive that her never-before-felt infatuation with OH made him her Perfect Soul-Mate. Remember the good-sex feedback from maid-of-honor ... disclosed after the vows plus the honeymoon were over! Remember the other remaining doubts about OH's perfection!
I would have preferred the male-think solution of annulment, then resolve her quibbles the old-fashioned way - without devastating Hubby1 nor (some of) the Budship QUITE so much! But it would NOT be nearly as great a tale ... and certainly not LW that way.
No FICTIONAL people were hurt in writing this story! Hapless did some crappy things to an imaginary character to produce some MEMORABLE circumstances. Please remember THAT before 1-bombing wonderful Erofiction.
The story was well written and a very interesting plot. My personal reasoned reaction would be to push her back out of the door the moment she showed up. But it sounds like he was not in a reasoning mode.. Safety First!
Bullshit. You start out the chute telling us he fucked a married woman and somehow we're supposed to equate an adulterer with being noble? I hated his cheating fucking ass from that point on. And Brenda; marries poor Terry knowing she is more interested in Roger? That is so cold and conniving, it's hard to comprehend. You might want to consider that it's difficult to like a story when you despise everyone in it.

Terrific
The author is not a hapless writer.

Threading the needle
Making a cheating wife, not a cheating wife.
First impressions. I enjoyed the story.
Second impression: I don't care if he was manipulated. That is one of the failures of 'Lazy Lemon Sun' by Rhenquist. I was not terribly upset that the protag was manipulated. Did he get what he wanted? Was he happy? If my wife manipulated me to exercise and live longer because she loved me, is that a bad thing?

I need to preview these comments more
She torched his friendship just so SHE could get what SHE wanted.
Remember Terry?
What's Terry, collateral damage?
Women
This is a perfect example of a woman's reasoning. Instead of being honest, breaking up with Terry and trying to get together with Roger, she HEDGED her bets and tried to keep Terry while she went for Roger. In essence, she didn't love Terry, she used him. She played with Roger, tested him, then after years of wasting Terry's time (and money) she destroyed their friendship and precipitated a divorce. While she may not have been technically a cheater, she did betray her husband, showed him no respect and lied to him, if only by omission. So, while the sex may be fun, it ain't love kid. Stupid Roger is hooking up with a woman that has a lousy track record of pure selfishness to the point of harming those she claimed to care about. Not too smart, and after being with her for a year, really stupid.
I found the plot unusual...
...This story was like a breath of fresh air. 4*

She's a dangerous woman
That one brings back an unpleasant memory. Still 5* for the story
Agreed that this was original and well written

Excellent Writing
The story was well written and a very interesting plot. My personal reasoned reaction would be to push her back out of the door the moment she showed up. But it sounds like he was not in a reasoning mode.. Safety First!
Just Plain Wrong
Good story, well written, but it just rubs me wrong when two-faced connivers win. Karma would give these two an unhappy life.
I hate making a mistake, so I went back
It says that Terry and Brenda were is a different college and were GOING STEADY, which is not engaged.
Of course, I the next three paragraphs, they got married. We have no idea how long that took.
If, as she said, she fell for Roger when she saw him, she could have more cleanly cut the cord without a marriage. So the timing is unclear.
That being said, if everyone acted sensibly, there would be fewer stories in the world.
Noble?
Bullshit. You start out the chute telling us he fucked a married woman and somehow we're supposed to equate an adulterer with being noble? I hated his cheating fucking ass from that point on. And Brenda; marries poor Terry knowing she is more interested in Roger? That is so cold and conniving, it's hard to comprehend. You might want to consider that it's difficult to like a story when you despise everyone in it.
Thanks for the offering.
Not Bad For a Clueless Guy
Your story needs a bit more excitement, more action and for sure, more drama in it.
Different
I like the way you work your stories. They are to me way different than the typical BTB.
