After The Affair

While I agree with MrVdog ....

Perk was too easy on her, I like the story that he wasn't a total wimp! I would have like to see some vindication with the Kid to stop him from breaking up marriages and I too am a sucker for a happy ending, I would have like to see them getting back together years down the road.

See this is wrong...

"It is interesting that he loves me and I love him and yet we are no longer together. Those who say love conquers all must not know what they are talking about. My love for him couldn't stop me from cheating on him and our marriage. His love for me couldn't give him the strength to forgive me." ~ quote

No, wrong. Love does conquer all, Grace... the problem is just that you did not love your husband strongly enough. You went and gave away that which was his most precious belonging - namely yourself - to someone else for a series of raunchy sexual encounters... You were the one who broke the circle, not your loving husband.

Well told

but one thing bothered me. Once she figured out he knew and was hiding from her, why didn't she simply drive to his job, wait outside for him to leave and follow him? Pretty simple thing for a desperate wife to do. And after all those years being married he hid out for 5 months? What kind of man does that? Confront her, dump her, get some professional help, but don't do nothing! After all those years, you'd think that forgiveness for a mistake would be possible. Doesn't make him a wimp. He took the coward's way out and wasn't willing to work on his marriage.

"I wish i was a stronger man" "A better man could forgive" what is this shit? she is a cheating cunt. dump her and find one that wnats only YOU!
how about, 'I wish you were a stronger wife and i wish you could have been a better wife and not fucked around on me." what is it the man's fault?

Loved it

"Those who say love conquers all must not know what they are talking about. My love for him couldn't stop me from cheating on him and our marriage."

A nice sentence, but very wrong. She didn't love him, just as her hubby pointed out.

"I would do nothing to hurt him because I loved him more now than when I first married him. He was all that I wanted and we had raised two beautiful children together."

She may have told herself these things, but she was lying to herself. She loved the life, the idea of being married to him, the comfortable lifestyle. But she didn't love him. She does not deserve to speak those words.

No

This is not a Loving Wife story. It is a unforgiving husband story, with a nasty streak.
There should be another section on this site for this type of story.

you must like punishing mentioned

Even when the husband is correct you make him a wimp.

What is the best

The true good story is when the betrayed ex husband finds a better second chance woman........and the ex wife knows the new is the better....................

cheaters are selfish scummmmmmm

descriptive story of a typical cheating wife and with as much fake remorse as you can get out of them.
somebody said the story should be in a unforgiving husband not loving wife section, my reply is take your panties and stuff them up your piss-ant little.... well you get the drift, why do you have to forgive.. your not god, with freewill we can say "no i wont carry the hate daily but i also wont forgive you die in pain and curse your pain you bitch/bastard". That is a big issue in this world of now now now, no remorse or regret, how can there be with the rush to get people to forgive, and ever notice is the real fucking scum that scream forgive the loudest,religious people,politicians,cheaters, all screaming forgive forgive it was a mistake, but where is the regret or redemption and paying the price?

Excellent

Very realistic story. No over the top revenge. No unrealistic reconciliation. No irritating cuckold fantasy getting lived out. Plain and simple adultery. The inevitable consequences. Pain and heartbreak. It was nice to have a realistic story focuses on the feelings rather than the gratification of the victim. If you have been married for any amount of years, you don't fall out of love with your wife when you find out she is cheating. That doesn't make the feelings go away in an instant. Some of the people who love to hate the cheating wives do so because they are still hurt from the pain of betrayal. You can't' get that level of hate without a significant betrayal. You can't get betrayal without having first loved and trusted someone.

One more word to the wise. Revenge does not make you a stronger person. Unforgiveness and mistrust does not make you smarter or wiser. It just makes you sadder. If you are still angry and bitter, then that person who hurt you still has power over you. If you can't move on unless that person suffers, then your life is still tied to that person's. If you can forgive and move on with your life, then you are truly free. No matter what happens to that person, you can live your life. That is true power.

She Was A Cheating Whore

She proved her love to him by fucking a young stud while he was at work. Fucking cunt. He should have left nothing for her. She deserves nothing and no one.

R.I.P.

What is Love?

When someone says, "I love you" what does that mean? Many people throw that word around, because they want people to think they are "good" people. In fact, love does have a meaning. To love is a verb, it is an action. It is something we do, not something we simply feel. To love someone is to care for them. It is to respect them and treat them with honor. To love someone is to cherish them. There is no partial love, there is just love. There are also special relationships that commend priority over other relationships. The relationship of the highest priority is that of the husband and wife. That is because after simple survival, the only other reason we exist is to procreate. Raising human offspring requires a commitment of many years. That is why fidelity is so important to us. If you can't trust your spouse, you are in for a hard time. So, when a cheating spouse says, "I love you" they are lying. The fact that they are cheating is evidence of a lack of love. More so, it is evidence that they are considering moving on. The proof is that they have so little respect for their spouse, that they are willing to lie, in order to have sex with another person. If you mistreat a person, lie to them and deceive them, you are not loving them, therefore you do not love them. If you come across a person like this in your life that has deceived you and wasted your short time on this earth, remember you cannot love someone who has abused you in this way. It may take a little bit of time to readjust yourself to this new reality. When you realize that you were being used, that you have been conned out of years of your life and perhaps thousands of dollars, you must get even. Getting even without making more of a mess is the key. Love yourself, respect yourself, get even, so that you can spend the rest of your life with self respect.

I Read This Too Many Times

"I would do nothing to hurt him because I loved him more now than when I first married him." Obviously not true. You ARE doing something to hurt him, and therefore CAN'T love him at all, let alone more than when first married.

"He was all that I wanted" Again, obviously NOT true. If he was all that you wanted you wouldn't be with someone else.

Damn

Read it again. Always re-read my favs. Fucking cunt. Cheating whore cunt. "I'm sorry. I love you. Can we get past this?"

FUCK YOU CUNT.

Another BTB story that lucked out, got the house, the kids and the income.

Her husband was too good to this bitch. Maybe when the kids get older he can tell them what a slut she was/is. Now she can get all the young dick that she can find that will fuck her, hope she at lease gets syphilis or the clap. You know most clap these days cannot be cleared up by antibiotics. The little bugs are getting too strong. I wonder if she made Jason use protection (or was that his name?)

didn't care for this one

way too dark

She Said It Herself

Okay, ONE time is to satisfy curiosity, still not right, but...

But more than once? You get what's coming to you.

Unrealistic

All the professions of love while expressing contempt and hate don't wash! That is what you do when you commit adultery.

Come on people, one time while not right, might be understandable?

That's why there are vows said at a wedding and not what you hope you can do during the marriage. The vows are so that you can trust your partner and not have to worry about them every day you aren't at home. So if you aren't mature and trustworthy enough to keep those vows, then you get what you deserve. Unfortunately, like the drunk driver who kills a family, your weakness is still your responsibility.

Curiosity, well we all have it don't we. I'm sometimes curious about what it would be like to fly, but if I jump off a building to satisfy that curiosity I'm still gonna hit the ground. Some things you should have the gumption to stay curious about.

Sounds much like a reality show

The internal dialogue of the wife and her flashbacks while preparing supper are all very believable.
Perk and Grace. What apropos names! He was only a perk in her life. He had home and work. She had home and decadence. As it wound up he loved her more.
The shock of realization at the consequences for Grace and Perk (i.e., reality) changed her – will it be enough to maintain the celibate claim at the last of the story? Doubtful, really. Once a cheater...
Will time cover the pain and memories of Perk enough to consider, reconciliation? Maybe. But it will take a long time; more than a year. And will he think to check up on her when and if he considered reconciliation? But of course.

****

Rightbank said, "Way too dark". I beg to differ. Not dark enough. He gave her too much. Betrayal after all those years is insufferable. BTB! Cheers!

With Every Day

With every day that passes and he suffers from the separation that his cheating wife has caused it is another day of offense. It is not a one time, one moment injury. It keeps on cutting, day after day. He was right. She did not love him. Love is the act of caring for another. Cheating on your spouse is an act of selfishness at the least and intentional pain infliction at the worst.

3* only...why?

3* only...why? I agree with @connoisseur29!!! He was too soft for her...He should have made her suffer as much or even more as she had made him suffer...And the lover boy should had suffer too...So his love for her made him weak, instead of making him mad and angry...

Is this the only Celt story

with no voting? I would give it at least four stars because it was a very believable, well-written story. She, like so many cheating wives, told her husband they made love while she and her stud only had sex. My first wife said the opposite. I was certainly no stud so go figure.

She thought wrong...

When she thought that she loved him, that was wrong...She didn't love him, she only loved herself...He really loved her...he divorced, but let her stay well and never got revenge on her or her lover.

liked it

no, loved it, for point of view, and feminine side of view, even though Celt isn't fem, I don't think. what I also liked was the phrasing of her words, and his, in the confrontation. a bigger man, or more forgiving, or more aware, doesn't matter. everyone's the same size when it comes to the love of your life. I believe according the story, that she will wait for him, and he will come back to her.

2nd thought

how can you love anyone, unless you love yourself first? you have to know what you can offer from your heart, before you can give it.

No, never forgive this bitch.

She had this affair with a younger man, not just once but at least six weeks. Now she can screw around all she wants. I would not have been as generous as he was.

Enjoyed it

"He is wrong about being at fault. He did nothing to justify what I did."

Another false statement. Her husband was lacking in many regards. He was a middle aged man. He didn't have the stamina he used to have. He had a job that probably kept him away from his wife for long periods of time. The truth is that all of us have failings and shortcomings. Being in love and being committed means embracing all of those faults and loving the person anyway. There are hundreds of reasons (very compelling reasons) why my wife should dump my sorry ass. And yet, she doesn't. We are in love and we made a commitment to one another.

Damn

In her mind it was a normal thing. Meet my lover at the motel, fuck his brains out then come home to my loving husband, him being none the wiser. Well that shit blew up in her face didn't it? She used the line, "He stared at me in total defeat." That wasn't total defeat. That was disgust. Disgusting cheating whore. He gave her too much but he was rid of her. Fucking slut.

Drbeamer333

Since you're so understanding of human faults and frailties, I hope your wife cheats on you a thousand times so you can forgive her and show everyone that the statements you made are true. You sound so sincere with your words but I have my doubts.

Thoughts

“I had no answer that made sense and none that would have ever satisfied me if I had caught him cheating.” – She is admitting something I always say, that these cheating wives would never accept the explanations that they want their husbands to accept!

Two thoughts about “sex with another man” – The time to “experiment” is before you’re exclusive, or at least before marriage. Second, as I’ve said so many times people are probably tired of reading it, what is the point of trying another lover? If it’s no better than with your husband, then you’ve cheated for nothing. If it IS better, now what? Are you going to continue the affair so that you can continue to have this “better” sex? Are you going to leave your husband? Are you going to “suffer” with the lesser sex with your husband? In that case, wouldn’t it be better to not know?

Further Thought

“It certainly would not do to have him see these things since I had never worn them for him.” – Though it wouldn't have had any impact here, why do these cheating wives never think to wear the sexy clothes for their husbands, so that they don’t have to worry about him getting suspicious if he sees them?

Third Read

It is striking that this story has so much pull. I think it is her rationalizations and self deception that is fascinating. She admits she cheated, she admits she intended to cheat, she admits she enjoyed it immensely because it was cheating, but she pretends to love her husband, in the end she feigns the role of martyr waiting for her husband to one day forgive her and return to her. This woman is so wrapped up in her selfishness that she has lost touch with reality. She is not unlike the cheaters I have met in my life. They all have shared the common trait of selfishness in a way that seems childish. It is an immaturity combined with the willingness to lie to themselves and to others. The only weak part of this story is her husband, and that after 25 years he did not know much about her character. People do not turn into cheaters overnight, they were always cheaters and they have been lying, and deceiving in many ways if not in adultery.

i enjoyed this

but i did not smile. thanks!

A Cheater Is A Cheater Is A Cheater!

This woman is a cheater, nothing more, nothing less. She planned it, she lied about it, she did things that she didn't do with hubby, she bought sexy clothing for her lover, etc. etc. Boy, she really loved her husband (sarcasm) - she showed it over and over again (more sarcasm).
The one consistent in these stories is that the cheater professes real love for their partner. I don't think cheaters know what real love is. They don't love their partner, they may like him, they may feel comfortable with him and their life, but THEY DO NOT LOVE HIM. If you really and truly love someone, you would never cheat and chance losing the person you really love. Any cheater does not know what real love is. That's my little rant. I could go on-and-on but I'll get off my soapbox now.
Thank you for an interesting little story.

One Of The More Realistic Cheating Stories

People quite often 'live in the moment'. They cheat or commit a crime with no thought of the consequences or the price they or their victims will pay when they are caught. Some day in the future infidelity will be a crime, punishable by jail time, fines and fees. Will it stop or slow down the rate of infidelity? What do you think? But I will say this, a cheating spouse should not receive anything monetarily in a divorce. It's exactly like having to give a thief at least half of your earnings, a house and a car for breaking in and destroying what you have spent a lifetime earning. The unfaithful party does not deserve to be forgiven EVER!

Garbage

Sanctimonious hypocrisy: won't tell anyone the divorce is for adultery including adult children and will generously support her. She keeps house. Try being believeable

Temptation...

The story is based on the temptation and the inner urge. Casual sex talks leads to
tempt Herself into sex drive. Opportunities are always there and thus She fell into
the trap. The character of Her husband is shown excellent...a real gentleman. Inspite
of all this happening with his knowledge, have behaved and discussed respectfully.
The story line as well narration is good.
Thanks....

I have worked my way down to this story. It will be my last.
I don't relate to your male characters. They're your stories. That's cool. I simply don't relate.
