All Comments on 'Cheating on My Girlfriend'

True love, I cried

A little too pat, and everyone was so, so civilized. Bringing in cancer as a Deus ex maxina was way too much.

Being a two time cancer survivor and given a 10% or less chance for recovery adds special emphasis to this story for me. I am one of the lucky ones, since only 2 out of 750 live beyond 10 yrs with a 3B liposarcoma. Sorry......got sidetracked.

Anyway..........a good, short read that hit close to home. Got **** from me. All have happy holidays.

Pulled it off.

I hate all those folks who talk about how this would never happen, too pat, unbelievable story line .. hell I don't read for reality.. "It's a Story" -- you told it well, you tugged at heartstrings some, you had an ending that sort of makes us feel good. Other stories do other things, that's fine too. I have enough reality in my world (my wife is a cancer survivor, 4 years now). This one sort of hit home. If that was what you intended you delivered in 5* mode. Everything else is just chaff in the wind.

Was the impetus for the whole story. Usually, Brooks hits the nail on the head but he got all thumb this time. The story unfolded neatly and the idea of friending an ex's lover is not that absurd. Especially when its an amicable parting of ways. Sherry is just doing whatever it takes. If nothing dire ever occurs there is no reason for this story. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

At last - a story about two honest and morally sound people. My kudos!!

I think this one may be your best one yet. Thank you!

But WTF??? That was simply depressing as hell. First they decide to be divorced because why? They're bored? What are they? Five years old? The old "we've grown apart" is just a ridiculous excuse. Then you take the "poly" route. Lets all live together in a Yellow Submarine and be happy. Just awful. This depressing story was neither erotic or entertaining. I guess people gave you a lot of stars because they felt sorry for you. UGH!

How can you not take this "wrong"?

"Please don't take this wrong, but I was thinking about a new marriage with new people."

She says that means she wants to divorce. So what would taking it wrong mean? Was there a chance he might've taken it as she wanted to stay together?

Can't imagine what the home life was like before the kids left. When our kids left it was like a second honeymoon! We love having them visit, and love having them leave, so we can run around naked again. After all the years of love and sacrifice and commitment, why would we want to start over with the devil we don't know? The love is the same, but the respect and gratitude are out the roof!

A sad story of a mediocre marriage. Sounds like it ended with more love than it ever had in the past. An original story idea. Thanks!

we're going on a feels trip!

You've offered a very different premise and plot line that can stimulate some serious self-reflection. For instance: is it possible that a long-standing marriage relationship can become so overtaken by predictable routine that even a seeming "corrective measure" would rely automatically on a thoroughly routine "solution?" Must we experience difference in order to appreciate distinctiveness? Uniqueness?

I'm not going to critique your story, your characters or your plot (was the ending a bit abrupt or forced? Maybe. Maybe not.). It's your story, after all; not mine. But you did get me to think and reflect on my own life's circumstances and relationships. To me, that's a great story.

Thanks.

While this story was not especially my cup of tea, I did enjoy the story and the emotions involved.

As to previous comment(s), who said they always had to be erotic stories. No this one is definitely not erotic by many standards, it was a well written story about every day life. That to is a story that should be read.

Keep up the good stories!

says that Skip has managed to place in the running for best "Sharing is Caring" story.

But then again, I'd put "Her Itch" in the horse race as well.

(though if you are looking for excitement in your marriage, I'd not suggest cancer.)

I'm a huge fan, but this just didn't grab me. No emotion at all. She says, "what shall we do today dear?" " I don't know dear, how about we get a divorce? " he says. "Sounds good ," She adds. Also, the classic, "I'm probably dying of cancer, so let's have anal sex!" That did it for me. Then the loving poly triad. Nope, just not for me. Keep turning them out, I'll keep reading.

I’m not sure what the criteria is for HOF induction. It was a very moving story.

and a bit surprised this came from you. nice job.

We are getting more and more stories about bring in another partner and they are getting good scores! LW is going back to its roots, and the readership that has been starved for it, is embracing it. 5 glorious stars!

This has everything in it. Except btb. Nothing happy here. But a powerful ending.

When I see btb in lower case it looks too much like the abbreviation for bathtub the architect used in a house design I saw recently.

Best perhaps to stick to the tried and true BTB.

Second story of yours I've read and a very good one. Fortunately for me my late wife's death from ovarian cancer was 16 years ago...so the pain is not so acute any more... and surprisingly your story brought good memories to my mind.

Matt's a lucky son of a bitch...I've been laid, even well sometimes...but live in the shadow of her loss. Daily. Her death spiral was too long and ugly. Sorry for me being such a poop. Your story was good. Thanks.

It was a refreshing change from the Slut, Whore, or Cheating Wife.

The ending was sad but was absolutely needed to be that way for the story to really work as it did.

Nicely done.

...than we love/possession/responsibility/entitled people tend to be able to grasp. Great thought and encouraging...

This was very well done. Great read

But a good story. You dont have to hate if you split...

Finally a story about adults acting like adults. This way there were no losers. Freda got to end her life being loved by her husband and good friend. Sherry certainly proved that she was a quality woman, and Matt behaved with honor.

Thanks for something really good in all senses of the word.

Very sad story but I love how they all came together to share there love and intimacy.

Marines are not allowed to cry even if they are 60 yrs old.

Really enjoyed

Am not a marine, but a human being with a heart.

Nice story.

This story too close to home because I lost my wife last March 2020 from stomach and liver cancer. You cannot radiate liver cancer it won’t tolerate it.

So many feels. Great balance between comedy and tragedy. It made me smile and brought tears to my eyes, and all in 1.5 pages. Loved the characters too. A masterpiece of a short story. I have seen people do less with 10 pages on this site.

Enjoyed immensely

Well, that was awesome.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nice story.

Category should be Romance, since no one cheated.

Awww That was too sad can’t believe u killed her off

Beautiful sad story of true love and honest acceptance, well written.

I'm not crying, shut up! You're crying!

Very well written.

Aww that was so sad

One of this site's few six star stories. Thank you.

Beautiful love story sad but joyful. 5

5 but have to say, v abrupt ending. Like great sex but the orgasm was very weak, by proportion. Draw the ending, out. What the kids discussed, laughing, crying, hugging carefully... ease us into the death of the story. Time slows near the end. You sped it up.

I have actually LIVED this story. My ex wife survived 4 different fights with cancer, and then died with an enlarged heart hernia. We did remain close friends till her last breath. The current relationship at the time was very supportive as well. Very sad indeed.

I have read and reread this story. Very, very nice.

Beautiful!!! Why you gotta go and make me cry like that?? thats just not fair.

Nice story. Heartfelt. Perplexing why they ever filed for divorce. They discussed it like they were sorting socks after doing laundry. Creative and poignant.

Great reminder that we should learn to love what we have instead of having what we love.

What a sad tale. Brought tears to my eyes. Really well written thank you for sharing this with us. BardnotBard

I enjoyed that.

Thanks for sharing.

Aah shite, as much as I enjoy sad loving stories, it still makes me sad.

Nice and sweet.

A little weird, but well written. A bit sad. Some things felt a bit glossed over. 4*

4* Strange discussion about divorce.
