Requital

The horse was flogged way to long

I held on as long as I could before skipping to the last page. As always,story was well written and thought out however I had to forward it up to our Department of Redundancy Department.

Never

Never should have reconciled...No Way. At the latest, it was over at the Christmas party.

Too many pages with justifications and excuses!

Get an aggressive editor

This needs to be cut back. A lot.

As for her, she needed to go.

Hiya.

Don't listen to them. This is admittedly one of the best that deserves to be in the "Loving Wives" section.

Requital Misdirection

The statement about the wife's miscarriage seemed to lead me in another direction. I thought that someone else had got her pregnant and it was all aboout to come out. I'm glad it did not.

Good story.

5 *

A long twisted tale, but very well done.

Congrats !

after months and months of sessions

with the counselor it was Nony who put them back together. In the long run the attorneys and the psychobabblers made enough to buy a fleet of boats. And Barbie got away with it again.
A very depressing read.

Waste of time

I only made it to page 8 before I skipped to last page and saw where he reconciled with her. Excuse me? She is obviously a pathological liar. I just couldn't stay in this slow boat to China any longer.

A Roller Coaster, but ~!@#$%^&*() good storytelling.

In general LW stories seldom have HEA for all the characters, but this one mostly does. I found myself on a roller coaster of loving/hating, empathizing with/detesting the protagonists as the story went up and down, back and forth, here and there. I started on my tablet, wound up with a low charge and was so hooked by the storytelling that I had to get the story back up on my computer after the tablet's charge died, didn't want to wait. Not a usual occurrence for me, but well worth it.

you know making a man do something he realy doesend whant to do especialy a man like this guy i can promise you it would only make things worse

so its stopid to think some company could have forced him to talk he would have said something around the line of fine if thats how you think about me and the years i have given you then you go fuck yourself that would be one of the more polite awnsers

if you whant to create a hard nose character who doesend take shit you have to draw one line not 10 and hop from one to another so its very bad charachter biulding in my opinion or you have just no idee how a hard ass think's and let me tell you a persen like that will resent anyone who tries to tell him what to do and will do proberly the exact opisite

While its...

highly improbable, your take is well crafted and pulls all the right strings...thanks

can't see why

As little as she respected her husband, as little as she cared about or for her husband, as little as she cared about her marriage, would someone explain why she didn't just go along with the divorce?
Maybe insist on irreconcilable differences, but why wouldn't she just say 'whatever' and be out of there?

Too hard to believe she would care enough to want to stay married to him.

Real people captured in a short, focused story

Real people are Not 1 dimensional, we are more crooked than a snake's trail. I know a Nave Seal who has been there and done, if not it all, a heck of a lot of it. He has his his tough side, his sentimental side, his wild side, his careful side and his compassionate side to nane a few. I myself have changed my mind more than a few times. I find these responses to be entirely human.

The Story Held My Attention

Great little story to show the benefits of counseling.

BTB FAN HERE...

BUT one must balance
have she suffered ......yes
did he get pay back ...... yes
is he happier now with her yes
would he been happier with out her.... we could only assume. maybe end up as an angry old man.

@Anonymous 03/22/15

You claim:
"Steve was depressed enough to consider suicide and felt like he had lost everything.
It's easy to see why he didn't want to lose his job."

The truth about depression that deep is that it would make him care less about keeping his job, not more.
When life itself does not feel worth living through the means of that living become less important.

What a loser..

What a fucking loser ....being cockolded...then take her back...
Next time she get a chance she will do it again..and again...
Should have put down all three of them like street dog that that acted as.
If I were in his place. I would have wasted them..his wife first..then her fuck buddies. No need explanation..n all the weepy counncelling...
I will ask one question to her..'can you unfuck them'? Answer will always be NO. Then..BAMM.

well i think end is good some time people need second chance some time people learns there faults so some time second chance is the best choice so story is good and end is great and balance

friends i think we are human and human make mistake big or small and when they realize there mistake and accept it and want another chance to live have to give them because GOD give us more then 100 chances to in a day to make correction so at last he want his creation to shear this thing between them once in life so think that way to story is good writer did the same thing

A thought

These cheating wife stories are some of the best reads here on Lit. I see more than enough BTB stories, stories of getting revenge etc. This one is kind of special. I like to see the characters work it out sometimes, and this was one of those times. Oh, I didn't get that vibe at all in the early pages. It was going the way of most of the other stories, but you made me care for their relationship. Also her whole family, especially Nony and Kim.

to convince what? he STILL ended up a wimp with the new name chuck...

Second time through...

Still a classic. Five stars and exceptionally written. It is hard to believe why she would fight the divorce given her strong reluctance to come clean. Was she hard hearted? Then why stick with such a brief marriage. Was she stupid? Then it is hard to believe she would ever truly come around and be the wife he wanted. I lean toward thinking she will eventually cheat again.

Very well writen

I most likely would have dumped the bitch. but maybe not. I took one back only to have the same thing happen in less than a year.

my opinion

If my employer told me that in order to be promoted, I needed to go into marriage counseling with a lying, cheating, totally disrespectful wife, I would have been looking for a new job that afternoon. It's your story, you can write it any way you like. I would not have attended the first or any other session. You can't change what happened..... THREE TIMES. He could do better. And he should have moved on. IMO.

people make mistakes

Not everyone is perfect and like the counselor said women are built different than men. This all seemed to start after her miscarriage . Her mind and body was in a different state of being . not excusing her cheating but she never let herself go all the way Enough said. In my favorites. A very good story.

What a waste...

I can't believe I wasted this much time. I finally quit at page 15 when he took her sorry butt back. Good luck to all. I hope they all get whatever they deserve. SUCKED!!!

I read this twice to make sure I got this right. If she loved him why did she put him thru hell in the counsellors office.I know she was immature in the letting her bosses nephew get close to her. I also know when she lost the baby she let another man get close too her again and she cheated on her husband. No excuse. Then she put her husband who she said she loves and wants back thru hell so badly he wants to die he was actually hoping too catch something from his sister-in-law so he could die. So if she loved him why would she do that to him when she caused the problem.

You remember that too dear annony sometimes nothing is better when it comes from your dumbass

Gave it a 5 to help the score.

Esto es mas largo que eructo'e jirafa

Mas largo que despedida de borracho

Fantastic!!!!! Brilliant!!!! Its one of the very best "Loving Wives" stories I've ever read! One of the Best in Literotica!!!!!
Thank you for your time, effort and talent!!!
Nico

4 stars

but for the S I L part would gave 5 stars.
that is my right . every story is not a five star tale, hll most aren't even 2 star tales.

EVERYBODY

...should have a savy grandma like Lydia, she had horse since answers. Well thought out story.

DIVORCE COURT

Should of divorced the bitch.

Impressive

As NicoMalo wrote, " Its one of the very best "Loving Wives" stories I've ever read!". I concur wholeheartedly.

As long as the story is, you never let go of the central theme of dealing with infidelity in a survivable manner. Some of the nay-sayers would have him finish the divorce, others approve of the result as it is written, and still others want it to carry on out in ways that don't reach either extreme. Personally, I'd probably have opted for the suicide solution, but I'm a very weak person.

Any story that draws over 380 comments and is read 628 thousand times has definitely passed the popularity test. Kudos to you and please keep writing.

What a crock of shit!!!

Take that line of 'understanding' and 'justification' shit down the road because there's a very HUGE ... conscious... AND ... subconscious difference between running a traffic light at a deserted intersection and cheating on your husband by removing your panties from your excited, juicy pussy in preparation to fuck another man.

She was trying to sell him the bullshit that she was in the same frame of mind when she fucked the guy(s)?? Not hardly. and you wrote that she had him thinking.... ((( but I'm a good example that isn't always that case. I ran the darned light without a second thought…no thinking about whether it was right, wrong, or indifferent. There's just no getting around it." )))

It's a good story but you have some outrageous bullshit mixed into it. In the real world, (the same one that she has to live in) the bitch consciously, selfishly and intentionally betrayed the wedding vows she made to her husband. To him, that betrayal was no different than if she'd thoughtlessly poured a bucket of ugly all over what to him was treasured and beautiful. What she did cost them their marriage... plain and simple.

I've noticed something

A lot of anons spend their time imaging in graphic detail what their wives or characters wives are doing when they cheat. They use lurid, pornographic details about their wet pussies and the other man's hard cock. And this happens way too often to be an occasional coincidence.

One would almost think the anons like the one below me are turned on as they read stories here and imagine women cheating on them. They're angry to, clearly, that's why they come into the comments to yell and scream and make sure we know they're real men who don't like this stuff, but those occasional slip ups I think reveal more about them then they'd like to admit.

reply to frontlinecaster

I read the anon. comment you referred to and saw nothing that I didn't agree with. To me, what was written seemed well thought out and expressed. Perhaps you have some professional training that permits you to analyze and re-present what some one else is thinking but it's my experience that the World is loaded with full of shit 'professionals' who ignore that they get it wrong 95% of the time but crow like barnyard cocks to bring attention to the 5% when they were accidentally right.

I liked the story, too, but I saw the same flawed thinking from the author.

I truly hate cheaters and what his wife did was terrible . She cheated before they were married which would of been it for me , then the disrespect at her company party which would of caused me to smash a bottle over his head , then the actual physical cheating . The touching and intent to eventually fuck is bad but the emontialcheating could be even worse. Even with all that what he did is so much more unforgivable fucking her young, drug addict sister with sister being the worst part of it. All that aside excellent story

Her whole family was nuking futz,

from her grandmother on down. And Steve was stupid, no doubt about that. She cheated, she lied and she took up with everyone who wanted her. I even think there were probably more he didn't know about. She had a miscarriage and didn't tell him, no one in the family knew? Bullshit on that. His insurance would have contacted him, at least for the deductibles if she would have used it. She didn't tell him about the baby for one reason and one reason only. It wasn't his and she didn't spontaneously abort, she had a D&C and that's the reason for that. I know that I commented on this before, just didn't find it this time, but the boss and the other people involved in coercing him to stay with the slut were so far ou t of line the couldn't see the line anymore. Too fast, too long and too loud. George Jones, where are you when we need you the most?

Second time reading

It could be because I have read this story previously, but it seemed to drag and have too many redundancies and reputations making it unnecessarily a rather long tale.

As a retired mental health professional..

Little in this story reflects real life.... The therapist here was irresponsible in not looking at the deeper issues.

I'd suggest that the serious reader who's looking for real and practical healing guidance read "Getting the love you want" by Harville Hendrix. Many therapist and councilors today use this book as a fantastic tool to help those in need.

Had to give up

around page 8. Suspension of disbelief had vanished and I found myself scrolling through it, not really reading. I've been there myself and nobody goes through that much bullshit counselling. It just dragged out too long and I lost interest. Sorry but I one bombed it for the simple reason I just couldn't finish it. Mind you, I feel the same about "To Kill a Mockingbird" so you're in pretty exhalted company!

Hard for me to read

I identify too strongly with the guy and quickly hate the wife. I have to be careful not to transfer it to my own faithful wife.

WTF...

The councelling just keep on dragging on n on...I lost interest at page 7 or 8.. just skip to last..page. Seek g him reconciled..m shocked! That pathological liar whore Got her way..
If I were Steve I will have divorce her n never agree to councelling in the first place..n fuck the shit out of her sister..n throwing it on Deb face...
But American men are too wimpy ass shit...no wonder their society is in turmoil..women wear the pant in the family...wine a woman is in control or authority...everything goes to shit..coz its not natural..she wasn't made or evolved to b in control over men.
In our part of the world both Deb n her lover would have either end up dead on that park..or goes missing with out a trace or evidence.
But Fuck American men are pussy.
I wish she cuckold him again..n this time right in front of him..coz most American men loves to cuckolded isn't it...I bet Steve will b in paradise..
Fucking hate the fucking story...
To me infedility is an unforgiving crime...the only end is either kill the slut n her lover or divorce.
You do the crime you pay the time...
I love burn the bitch stories....but most loving wife story here have a simply ass husband..n let the slut of a wife get a way with it..
FUCKING STUPID.

Too long?

Excellent story. I did not find one paragraph where the flow of the story sagnated. These anonymous commenters who stated this story was too long, are Cretins who should stop reading these stories and go back to reading their comic books!

Too long.

Just too much. You keep pounding out the whole betrayel and counseling angle far too much. It's almost bordering on a pathological need to hurt the reader. Most of this is complete drivel. Any sane man would have just pushed the divorce through long before the end of the counseling sessions.

It is a bit long.

Sorry, but I do believe that this tale has been drawn out and so spoils what would have been an excellent read.

@ dissmiss

I respect your opinion that the story is " too long ". Nevertheless there is enough quality writing in the story to generate 400 comments . Longhorn_07 wrote it apparantly for readers like me who enjoy taking the literary scenic route to the conclusion . I thank him for sharing.

****

Good story and the only part that really did stretch credibility too far for me was that Barb had only given her lover 2 handjobs (and not naked ones at that). Yes, the story was on the long side (but not uniquely so) and you cant win with that. Too short and the story seems rushed, too long and you get complaints about how much you have to read, break it into chapters and readers get bored waiting for the next chapter to come out. Overall I enjoyed it.

Awesome story!!!

Usually the stuff here is more focused on the sex part, but I was glad to find this gripping tale. You've got talent man, keep writing such awesome stuff.
