Requital

Don't let the bitch win

This is a great story and I would have rated the first half or more a full five plus, but the resolution and reconsideration are a real ugly stretch. While I could understand getting back together AFTER forcing through all the divorce hurdles her family put up and finalizing the divorce, I see no reason for the thrice cheated protagonist to let the cheating bitch WIN without paying the price of a public divorce for adultery.

Very good buildup and portrayal of the characters.

However, a story as long as this needs a lot less plot holes to sound credible.
A self-absorbed person cannot change in a few months.
What was Nony doing all those years while Barbara was growing up to be the way she is?

A pretty good read anyway. Didn't expect any less from Longhorn_07

GREAT

Absolutely loved it thanks a lot. Not a critic just know what I like.

This was a very good story but I was not sure how

you would finally end the reconciliation. I myself dont really believe people fundamentally change there mindsets and living styles. That said you realize I dont believe in reconciliations of spouses when one has cheated on the other despite any reason given. In all the rationalizations and other aspects of your psycho drrama you left out what was probably the most important. The wife never once voiced her thoughts to the one person in the world she was supposed to share everything with. In so doing she actually began the end of her marriage. The story plotline would have been radically altered had you done so, I am sorry you allowed the husband to be manipulated into going back what with is actually a serial cheater. The younger daughter as a Tsipper wound up being a frat party doll, they do give degrees for that in Longhorn U right? I am glad you brought in the STDs and HIV and that at least made it more realistic. Where was the discussion of her having possibly contracted the same from her boyfriend? I do have a problem with your three month rule on HIV testing. Most conservative Docs I have talked to dont consider clear until it test clear past the twelth month. Even then they like to say almost sure. Actually her actions when they were dating were enough for me never to have spoken to her again. Cheating isnt a mistake it is a definate action and when done by a spouse is done intentionally to harm the other spouse. So the real question never answered is why did she hate her husband so much to do what she did?

One of the best!

My God! All these "Hate Reconciliation" types! This was a lovely story about two lost lovers finding their way back through all the barriers of non-communication and self centeredness and etc. I have said it dozens of times when I comment. If two people love each other they can work through most anything! They do "have" to love each other enough to want to! Its pretty obvious to me that some of these "Kick the Cheatin Bitch Out" types "do not" or "have not" ever loved someone! They are an "Island Alone" in their self-righteousness... Yet they read every cheating wife story they can find looking for one that holds to their own view of never forgiving anything ever done to them! One shudders to think what they have done to others in their righteousness!

Why the hell would anyone in their right mind want

a used piece of trash? Ok, I see, they were not in their right minds, all of them were mentally ill.

Ron Wood talks without a brain in his head.

You can talk your way thru anything. Yep we have guy doing that big time right now trying to explain why change isnt always the best choice. Yeah you could have a woman talk you thru why she betrayed you, disrespected you, and fucked around on you, after all it is her body, but didnt she promise something in her marriage contract, hmmm, guess she is a liberal left winger. Ron old boy, let your wife go out and fuck around and get AIDS them come home and want to make family with you, bet you would eat her right up! Roonie women that do these things arent right in their heads and no amount of talking is going to make it alright.

Still good

Every once in a while I come back to this story for the personal interactions and psychological considerations. I wish I'd had a Lydia in my life sometime since she does such a good job of putting things into words and sensible explanations. Verne was the process, but Lydia was the how and why. Forget all the BS about whether reconciliation was the "right" thing to do or not. Everyone will have their own opinions on that subject, always, and will defend their own point of view vigorously. The point is how she had to learn to see what men were doing so she could react to it instead of going along with it. I love this story. Thanks for your time and effort.

Complete Horseshit....

The bitch repeatedly cheated. OUT. Fuck her and her horse.

Get the degree, change jobs and tell those interfering assholes at work to fuck off.

Tell Granny to KISS his ASS. The interfering old fart needs to butt the fuck out.

People can and do change

A minister once told us that if he thought people can't or won't change that he'd have to quit the ministry. It's really immature to think that someone can't change their ways, especially after they understand why they acted the way they did.
The author spent a lot of time building up emotion about the cheating. He spent even more time on the self-pitying husband. I've gone through the driving anger of a divorce, but I was a grown up and both controlled by thoughts and my actions during the hard times.
In this story the family and friend interactions were handled better than any other LW story I've come across so I applaud the author's efforts.

alot of negative feedback but I liked it

In response to all those idiots asking what if she had caught an std, it's hard to do that when all she did was masturbate the guy through his pants. Twice. Throughout the story they laughed at the cheaters and the lack of sex they where getting. Still, she was cheating, lying, and emotionally withdrawing from her husband. If she had continued down the path she was on she would have had sex with other partners, but she hadn't yet. I think this is an important distinction to make. People who want to improve can do so through counseling and hard work. Look at AA or NA groups, an addict can go through these programs and come out with tools to recognize and change behaviour - if they want to. This woman decided she wanted to change and did so. It was hard, even hard for her to recognize the need to change, but she did so. All in all a great story that I was thrilled to read.

Whoa!!!!!!!1 is me.

I got to chapter eight and had to bail. This was to damn long and boring as hell. This should have been sent to Readers Digest as a short book. If you are going to write a book find another site that is better suited for that. You are a good writer but not this story. Good Luck!!!!

Hate reconciliation people.

Are you nuts, they both messed up, what are you on. The wife is a whore and a cheater. She fucked around at work she didnt just cheat she whored herself. You dont go back together after that, get as far away from that piece as you can. He should have ditched the bitch after the Christmas party. To do less was stupid at best and totally braindead at the worst. She was so enamored over the nephew she should have just divorced and married him instead of trying to ruin her own and her husbands lives.

Yeah folks people can change.

But the new life doesnt have to be with a person they totally dislike, disrespect, and humiliate. And for the idiot who said she couldnt get AIDS. Clothes are no barrier to bodily fluids nor HIV. Jacking him off in his pants and getting cum on her hands are a vector than cause infection. The risk isnt as high as him fucking her in the ass but it is still there. Grow up people.

Hell a divorce would be a blessing for her

she actually needs a third eye.

very good read

love the nuances in this story, it was a great read and the stroyline was all I could of hoped for

Excellent story, outstanding writer.

One of the best stories I have encountered on this or any other site. I couldn't walk away from it. Thanks so much for sharing such a fine talent with us.

to Mr. Longhorn

I hope you're still around and thinking of writing again (I notice your last submission is three years old).
Yours is one of those stories (there are too few of them) that make literotica worth going to. Thank you.
(Why do I think you are a short rotund man in shirtsleeves?)


ILienBagby,

If there was EVER a story where reconciliation was impossible this is it, YET

Longhorn chose to force one anyway. Barbara as described is clearly a narcissist who loves herself more than anything. Her repeated disrespect of and for her husband is profound and continues until she is caught virtually in the act.

Then she cannot (will not) accept her actions for what they are and she remains in selfish denial. Her "baby" sister is just as fucked up as she is only in a different way.

I suspect Barbara's parents, at least her mother, is at the root of these personality disorders.

How (why) Longhorn chooses to write a reconciliation is truly a mystery. NO sane and rational man would EVER forgive her enduring behavior.

A well written story with a terrible ending.

To long didn't finish it. Can't see why a man would catch his wife cheating and go along with counseling for a job. BS

Thoroughly enjoyed your story. I agree with the others . . . please consider

writing again? Thank you for a great read!

It's 8:46am now I'm off to bed, that's how good your story was!

I couldn't stop reading this from page 1 all the way to 18! Magnificent story please write again!

Also don't listen to those dissing your story for being unrealistic, those fools need to go look up the fucking word FICTION. Realistic fictional stories are boring!

5/5 from me :)

Wonderful story by a master...

Reconcilliation seemed impossible; the bitch wife as bad as it gets. Yet, Longhorn was able to pull it off with carefully written scenes that showed us how it was possible. Bravo!

Nothing short of Masterful!

It was not only instantly engaging, but the turn of events show how masterfully you can lead your readers to wherever you want them to go. This kind of manipulation I love! I hope to read more from you!

Wimp

I always liked yr writing but this one is the worst I read by you.
Hope you will start writing again.

Phenominal Story

I liked the fact that he knowingly tried to commit suicide, and that Barbara or anyone else picked up on it, until herevealed it in the counceling session. Please keep on writing.

This was a very very good story, thank you....the husband wasn't a wimp and the wife made mistakes but wasn't a slut. It was very will written.

nice one..

although lengthy, it still was worth a read... :)

Thank You

A looooong story but it was needed to project the elements you had here. I only hope I never have to go through this process. If I do, though, I hope I have the support these characters had and needed...

Very well written. Please keep writing!

i stopped readiing half thru tooooo long

Man started off decent but dragged on tooooooooooo long

Thanks

Well,it's 1:30 am and I need to be up at 5:00am I couldn't stop reading till the story was over. Thanks for sharing, an excellent read.

Me too!! but I eventaull had to quit

I could not keep my eyes open any longer and finished this morning -

Yes it is a long story but the pace held - for me anyway - I actually learned a couple of things and came t0o terms with some of my own issues as well.

My ex was screwing around for way too long and had decided it was what she wanted for her - let me know just after a I survived major surgery - while I was weakest - wrote her off - still pay for that and will till I retie I guess it is a privilege right rofl

Thanks for a great read

This is about a fifth time I am reading this story ower 3 years period,

And it always brighten my day. Such a superb mastery of writing,such an understanding of human emotions and most importantly ability to convey such emotions into words and sentences.

Totally enjoyable. Thank you Longhorn.

I'm normally a burn the cheater person

but I really enjoyed this, the sex she did was bad enough but she wasn't a slut and she in the end grew without fucking everyone and their dad like the rest of these so called loving wives. Bravo, Bravo.....keep it coming.

I MOSTLY WANT THE CHEATING SLUT GONE, BUT SHE LOST A BABY AND THAT DOES FUNNY THINGS TO WOMEN ALTHOUGH SHE WAS WRONG NOT TELLING HIM .HER GRAN WAS THE ONE WITH BRAINS SHE COULD SEE THEY BELONGED TOGETHER .A GOOD OLD WISE HEAD ,GLAD THEY MADE IT AND A BABY PUT ICING ON THE CAKE

Well, you don't write short, do you?

That said, it was an interesting tale of redemption and pain. Lots of pain. I like how you explored how she got to be Mary Sunshine even though she was the person who wronged him.

Still, nicely done.

This is a good story! Longhorn was a good story teller!

I've read this one a couple of times. It has a happy ending. Sometimes it is refreshing to read happy endings. Sometimes it is also refreshing to read a story where the cheating wife is portrayed as a character who the reader can gain some sympathy for. They all don't have to be evil big titted bitches out to find younger and bigger dicks. They all don't have to be whack jobs dedicated to humiliating and crushing their husbands for untold and imagined crimes.

The other thing good about this story is that it has an ending. Sometimes long stories being written these days don't ever end.

Wish we could see some new Longhorn_07 stories.

what

A very good story But, to DAM long

Good Story

Long, but good, nice to see two people work it out together.

Encore!

You came very, very highly recommended Madame, and you did not disappoint!.. At one point I even thought it was going to a standard cheat-dump-hookup with younger sibling kind of story, but wow lol. Good job n well written, all aspects flawless, all bases covered!..
Also, the somewhat winding length? No worries, it just gave me more to read and love!.

Well, I read this until 0230 and finally was forced to sleep, finished it today.

It was a hellacious story, I am glad it ended as it did. I prefer more sex scenes but those you had were good. I will read all your other "stuff". I don't comment after each chapter on the long ones but I do give you the five stars they deserve. If I didn't like something in a chapter I give four stars, please forgive me.

thank you

This story, apart from being amazing, is ... literally undescribable
though young my self, i feel years wiser, this touched a part of my heart i hadn't thought was there
your work of art has inspired me to comment for the first time on this site, and ive read quite a bit
and though this isnt my 'favourite', it reached me in a way i didn't think possible
And im not a girl but a guy, a romantic one, but a guy nonetheless

p.s. i too have been robbed of seven hours of sleep (4.22 am)

Simply Mind-Blowing

As a regular literotica reader, I can take pride over the fact that most of the best pieces of writing has been read by me. And based on that knowledge, I can assure u sir, this is one of the most well-written and thought-through ones I've ever come across. The character portrayal was good, descriptions of emotions and flow of incidents absolutely flawless, and I dare say, I haven't ever read a a story on this site that deals with this much detail. Hats off to u sir, this was a gem of a reading.


I spent 5 whole in front of the PC to read this, and trust me, each second of it was worth it.


Finally, for a little suggestion, why don't u try a bit of ur talent in a period piece? As a student of English Literature, I can't wish for more than that. Thank u again for the excellent work and enlightenment.

Brilliant

Just about the best story on lit

It was okay.

However, it would have been much better if it was not so extreme in places. His anger and attitude was extreme. Kim's actions was extreme and both were way over the top.

Great story?? About cuckolding a husband?? Made into a WIMP??

Don't know what you people are smoking, but it's affecting your reasoning power.

wow

i applaud you sir, this is the first time i read a reconciliatory story that managed to not make the husband a wimp and yet still justify him getting back together with his wife. 5*****

Well done sir!

Well written and well-paced for a reconciliation story. The characters seemed genuine and the only minuscule issue for me is Kim's HIV plot involvement.

One of the best on Lit.

Sauce for the goose...

If wives forgive husbands (and some of them do) I guess that it is OK for husbands to forgive wives. I love happy endings.

Painfully stupid cuck fetish psychobable

This author is always veering into painfully ignorent and unreal psychobable in his stories to cover up his raging cuck fetish. His fondist moments are rationalizing it when he cleans off the cocks of his wife's boyfriends.
