Lisa

Okay...

...but you really didn't leave the reader enough to know about the wife to judge if she is trustworthy or not. As a result, I suspect the husband is foolish for believing her, but I can't really tell. Overall, one is left emotionally unaffected due to the lack of information. And to say things went back to exactly the way it was before is very odd. Certainly there would be consequences even if he believed her, but you don't go into them, once again making the story emotionally flat.

A sad tale

celt:
I don't really know how to evalutae the characters and decide whether I accept her version or not. There was simply too much information and character development missing. If I accept the story on face value it is well and good. The question is; do I dare? Thank You. Ronnie W.

Same old, same old.

The jerk-off comment's from perfect, straight arrow males, who are reading LITEROTICA for it's Literary quality and not for it's penis raising value.

Nice story and one which has been repeated in real life many times.

Bullshit

She may not be a cheating slut but she is a liar. To withhold that kind of information makes her worse than a cheating slut. In my opinion she has destroyed their loving relationship and any trust he had with her. She has disrespected him totally. Alcohol gets blamed for a lot of sins. She had a son somewhere that she should have been taking care of instead of being a lush. The real shame is that this is a true story. Rape? I don't see it. Why would she not tell her husband and her friend.

It was well written and I thank you for sharing. And I'm glad Lisa is doing well.

sin of omission

would be enough to end the marriage for me, one of the most important aspects of a union has to be open & honest communication & it was not here for 12 years & she would not have said a word if she hadn't been caught.

Troubling

I found this to be a very sad but troubling tale. Since thecelt indicated that it is a true story, I really have to admire the husband. The news he received was devastating. How he managed to not only accept it, but was able to move on with his wife that easily troubled me a bit. The man must have been superhuman - I can see him moving on, but with much more angst and doubt. Thanks to the author for a very thoughtful and well told story.

left me feeling

empty. The one thing I have the most trouble with in a relationship is dishonesty. To me lying is the ultimate form of cheating, more so than physically cheating. The bigger the lie and the longer the lying continues, the larger the issue we have to deal with.

In the story, the wife not only did a very stupid act that ended with her in a bad situation, but she makes an equally bad decision that shows lack of love, understanding, and trust in her husband by not telling him the truth. She not only lied to him when he came home, she continued to lie to him everyday thereafter until the doctor slipped up by disclosing the truth.

Her actions also forced her husband to live a lie, waking up everyday believing the twins were his daughters. The final lie is the one they are both living now in letting the twins believe he is their biological father. The twins have a right to know the truth and their biological history for future possible medical problems.

As though they don’t have enough medical problems already. Did this problem originate from their true biological father? If so, what more unsuspecting surprises may lie ahead for them.

Now we have the husband living daily in distrust of his wife, he proved that by having his son dna tested. Their lives will never and could never be the same again.

As a side note, I did have one other problem with the wife’s story. If she was raped and emotionally upset as she claimed. How did she, quote, “you came home the next day and we made love that night and every night for the next week,” so much for being emotionally upset and dealing with the issue of being raped.

It seems sad that the truth would have set them all free.

Well

Stories like this in real life are both harsh and troublesome. And you don't know who to feel sorry for. The wife, because she was raped and because this is something that no one wants to have to think about having happen to someone you know and love. Or the husband that was kept in the dark for 13 years and then during a time of crisis had this "Sprung" on him.

Personally I think the part about her keeping the rape from him might sounds true. I could see a woman that was raped trying to do everything in her power to not let anyone know. Specially the husband if she thought he'd think less of her or thought she let or wanted it to happen. Most often times the victims blame themselves. Sometimes it is a case of being in the wrong place doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. But often times it not. But I also heard that there are outward signs that let most folks know that everything isn't alright with a rape victim.

But I have to say while you stated this was a true story, there are very few males out there of this caliber. Mainly because even if the wife would say she was raped, the husband had no way of knowing and confirming that fact if the wife decided to keep it from him as long as she could. If she was raped nothing makes the husband feel more than useless than failing to protect her. But if she managed to show no outward signs of the rape too, some might think it was a story fabericated to get away with something. Its something that you just don't really know.

And also those are some of those one sided decisions (in this case not to tell the husband) made by one spouse that usually kills marriages once the other mate finds out.

Tragic story, but man was it painful to read.

She was raped and thats what counts

I believe she was raped and that is the most important thing in this story. I would have liked to know more about her thought process at the time as to how and why she had sex with her husband the next night. Her reasons for not telling him about the rape as their relationship was in real turmoil does hold water with me. He at least has the knowledge that she didn’t do anything against him but was a victim who only trusted friends. Drinking or not you don’t expect a friend to rape you. This is at least not a scenario of him imagining her with another man or cheating. She will now also be trying everything in her power to help him and it will wear on her too. She needs him so bad to forgive her for not telling him. Being 13 years later, is a help as they have a history that will make things more attainable.
Other then her trying to let him know a little more of what her thoughts were at the time of the rape, I think they have said it all.
This is real life or I’d say find the bastard and fuck him up.
Thank you for the thought provoking and sad real life story
With regards

this is one stupid bitch

to be honest, i am not sure if i believe that she was raped. like someone said, she could have made it all up to cover her cheating. Hell she has had 12 or 13 years to make up a good lie. Dosen't matter if you're with friends that you trust or not, you should never drink more then you know you can handle unless you husband is there to watch over you. this is probably the most used reason women use for having a one night stand, i was drunk and he took advantage. Well don't get drunk you stupid bitch. If and thats a big if, she was raped, thier marraige has been a lie for 12 or 13 years. She lied to him then and continued lying to him everyday since then. i wonder if she would like to have a drink with me,lol.

what else is new?

now it's rape. 2 questions. why didn'st she tell hubby about it? and if it were really rape, why did she let the rapist go?

happy ending? no. simply reconciliation at all/any cost.

Good

I enjoyed this story like I have enjoyed your other stories. It teaches us the need for trust and open communication in a marriage. This seems to be lacking in this marriage. Too bad the wife didn't know her husband well enough to know how he would have responded if and when she had been raped.

Boyd

I don't now, I thnk the author is a better man

than I am (to paraphrase Kipling). I have no problem with than I am (to paraphrase Kipling). The acceptance and love shown for the daughters of another man speaks very well of the "father". His checking on the boy's hertiage, after finding out his daughters were not his made sense to verify his wife's story and to see any possible genetic problems if something had gone wrong medically again.

But the comments of Don-Donna bitching about straight arrow males who read for the Literary value as if a story might not have both. It is a little funny for comments like this from a Literotica author(s) who will not accept public or private comment about their story. They have a lot of gall writing where they are afraid of comments about their stories.

True Storys on this Site Leave Me Cold Wondering

at the motivation. In other words why set yourself up for a personal critisism - just make it a story without attribution.

No one gets raped then doesn't show emotional or physical signs of it. No one could not tell their best girl friend(rapists wife) or their best friend (her husband) then go about their life without outward signs.

The initial lie then was coumpounded immediately by increased sex to cover it up then 13 years of quiet lies or laughing at his loving actions - this bitch is cold writer. Not a word all the way home from the hospital then not until beddie bye - cold. If she could keep that a secret what else has happened in 13 years???

His zombie reaction is denial or avoidance or non-comfortable acceptance which he won't be able to live with long term if he's human.

Every story needs an angle but for a plastic dumbed down reconciliation to be real is a problem - it doesn't float my boat.

Author, I'm not against reconciliation if it doesn't happen like a light switch move. Or if the wound wasn't too grevious or lengthy. If there is a period of discussion and eventual closure. The boom zipps aren't real world and his has been severely and dramatically rocked.

On the plus side, your have a mean keyboard and an very imaginative mind. But Mrs.'s Bobbit's cutting up can't always be sewn up overnight or 1/2 the time or at all.

A Lot left out

The couple left a number of small details out when they told you Lisa's story. The areas that don't ring true are the wife's reaction when she realized that her friend's Hubby was 'date raping' her, the time delay between the rape and when they reconciled and the couple's emotional and physical reactions to his discovery once Lisa was out of danger. It would take a very brave couple to reveal this information.

This story is not as good as most of your writing as a result of the lack of information. It would be interesting to read a re-write if they would reveal 'all' to tou.

A sad tale

Being a true story it is sad, but the story as written lacks emotion.

I think you left something out

Im not going to say the husband is a sucker because I dont know one way or the other. I will say that in the context of this story, the end seemed rushed and unlikely.

"I searched my heart and I found no reason to doubt Janet's story."

Im glad that the husband had reason to believe his wife and didnt get hung up on the fact that the kids werent his but this line seemed really out of place in the story as you wrote it. He found out that his wife had lied to him (seemingly without so much as a tiny raise in heart rate) for over 13 years. I would think that would be enough to make any rational person doubt almost everything she had to say.

Add to his quick and unfounded (in the story at least) trust in the wife there are all the other inconsistancies that have been mentioned.

- why didnt she tell him? Her reasoning seems pretty hollow to me.

- how was she able to move on so quickly? She immediately comes up with the plan to behave as if nothing had happened and fuck her husband asap in case she was pregnant. If she was so in control of her facilties in this regard, her explaination for why she never mentioned the rape pretty much fall apart too.

The story was ok but you needed to put some more time into why the husband was so trusting when he discovered that his wife had been lying to him for the better part of their marriage. Again, Im not saying that she is still lying or that she wasnt raped, just that I (and more importantly the husband in this story with the info he was given) have no reason to believe that she has suddenly now decided to tell the truth.

Having one of kids dying does put it into perspective though. Im not a believer in staying together for the kids but in this case it wouldnt hardly matter if she was cheating or not since he has bigger things to worry about. You didnt write it (the reason for his quick turn around after what was supposed to be a shocking discovery that threw everything about his marriage into question) that way though so his trust seems misplaced (or at least premature) in the context of this story.

Thanks for writing.

thecelt's trait

usually come up with emotionally captivating stories, but always --- okay, usually -- end up ending a story in the most idiotic way

it's usually ruining a perfectly good story by always bringing two incompatible people together, seemingly no matter what, and usually have the cheated spouse say something idiotic this one: I search my heart and I couldn't find any thing wrong with her story.

wth! you're talking about a woman who's raped and who comes home wanting to do sex and doesn't want to know whether her pregnancy is by you or the rapist but she says she would rather go to her grave at YOU NOT knowing it, so long as, of course, you take care of the kids!

and now you trust her without doubt?! LOL that's too funny!

I have often wondered if anyone else had noticed

But in the Celt's stories, the man never leaves (or at least stays away). The WOMAN will leave, but not the man. Also, the man ALWAYS ends up apologizing!

Testing Mike Jr.

You are a talented writer, but you didn't work hard enough to make the essential elements consistent and plausible in this story. As one more example, in addition to those I have seen in other comments, there is a major flaw in the initial conditions even before the doctor reveals the shocking fact that Mike is not the biological father of the twins.

If Mike Jr. were a full sibling, then he would be as likely to be a match as the fraternal twin Lorrie. Therefore he would also have been tested (unless the story gives a good reason why not). Thus it would have been discovered that he was a half-sibling. Also the mother should have been tested even though, according to the story, a parent is not as likely to be a match as a sibling. However, even if the mother wasn't tested, the doctor would know that the twins were not merely adopted, but were half-siblings to Mike Jr. and therefore had the same mother (because they don't have the same father). The tests would show that Mike was Mike Jr's father. Because he was a half-sibling to the twins, they had to have the same mother but not the same father. Since Mike Jr. is older, the twins can't merely be his step-half-sisters. Except under very convoluted intertwined relationships (such as multiple re-marriages), there is no way for Mike Jr. and the twins to be half-siblings without Janet cheating on Mike. The doctor should be aware of all of this.

It is implausible in any case that the doctor would simply blurt out the fact that Mike was not the biological father of the twins. It is especially implausible if the doctor realized that this fact was almost certainly due to Janet cheating.

You were imaginative enough to invent a circumstance in which forgiveness and reconciliation is more plausible because of the overriding concern for helping Lisa's recovery. However, the story falls far short of its potential because there is not enough effort to make the supporting facts and events plausible even within the context of the story. I also feel that is true for some of the examples raised in other comments.

You are a good writer. Please keep writing, but when you have a good premise, work especially hard to make sure the story lives up to its potential.

where was mike jr?

Where was Mike jr when Dad was off on his bender and the wife was with the rapist? They both sound like a couple of model parents...

bullshit

fucking ignorant wimp, rape?? i bet she's a slut, get the daughter well ditch the cunt

Wimp!

As usual an emotionally taught well written wimp tale. I am starting to suspect the Celt may be a women writer - as all his/her portrayals of men tend to be wimps that forgive the most “whorendous” cheating sluts imaginable. Regardless of authors gender, the stories are compelling & enjoyable, even if men are portrayed in as weak & spineless with no balls.

the law suit against ted

You should have gone to a Lawyer and filed a law suit against ted then had the Lawyer look for Ted then when found have him tested to be shure that he is the father then file for support and have him pay for the treatments .

Awww...

How romantic!

Hey Celt...What about Ted

Youi didn't mention anything about the revenge for him, the lawsuits, the charges for raping her...You let us down...marriedwithballs@yahoo.com

17 years of loving marriage covers a host of sins

Ted was a hot head drunk whose wife was raped. What else could a reformed alcoholic do except see his errors and hers and go on with life and saving their kids. A good story.

Great Story

Well written and structured. I wonder what story Real Doc read? Mike is the husband and Ted the rapist and where did the alcoholic bit come from?

NOT raped!

Why cover it up with "sex every day" the week following?

are you retarded? why post this? true or not

jesus christ man, every fucking story of yours has the same shit going on-someone cheats, but wont except responsibility for their actions, blame everyone else (usually the husband when he did nothing wrong), have the kids act like retards (why cant you forgive mom? you drove her away,etc) and of course every woman in your stories are so stupid, they fall for anything and never trust or really love their husbands. remember those old DARE commercials, about staying away from drugs? cheating is like that, just so NO. how the fuck is that hard? no matter the state of your relationship, no matter what you think is wrong with it, their is no reason to cheat. also, that stupid saying, its just sex, it didnt mean anything? again, how dumb can you be that saying it didnt mean anything to you would help, because it meant something to your spouse and if it didnt mean anything, why do it in the first place? how bout you right a story where say, if the wife gets drugged, rapped, then blackmailed, she tells her husband immediately because why on gods green earth does she think its better for her to at least be a slut if not a whore just so hubby doesnt find out? is this how you really see relationships? that no matter the reason, its both parties fault? so its the husbands fault the wife decides to let another man into her? yea, i know some of you limp dick bastards will prob say how stupid and harsh im being, but thats because im a man, unlike you pussies. i mean seriously, i read some of these stories because lets face it, they're interesting and im curious to see other ppls views on cheating, love, etc. it seems that a staggering amt of you feel that after a certain grace period and if you reaaaaly lover her or him, and he/she begs forgiveness, thens its perfectly okay to cheat. lets be clear, if a couple really loves each other, its not that they should be able to forgive anything (because thats bullshit) but that they wouldnt do anything that would need such forgiveness, like i dont know, fucking somebody else. im not a woman hating neanderthal but i do want a somewhat realistic story about how a man would really act. so, to summarize-there is no excuse for cheating, it does mean something, if you loved him/her you wouldnt cheat, forgiveness doesnt happen after mths/yrs like so many authors here write about, kids dont really blame the dad for mom cheating or vice versus ( kids are not so fucking dumb as these stories porclaim), and while confrontations do occur, its not really common that the injured pary seeks to murder the "other man" or beat him up. they usually get pissed and try to move on. haha, sorry but i guess ive been holding this in after reading so many shitty stories on literotica.

Another great story, but...

Hi Celt. This story is especially good since it is historically true in addition to conveying its literary truth. I can't understand why so many guys seem to have the attitude that adultery can never be forgiven no matter what circumstances may have extenuated the act and no matter how sorry and willing to make amends the guilty party may be. But what I want to know is: what ever happened to the Dawkins (Grace and Perley)?

The cheating slut wife has no credibility. Keeping a secret like this for so many years.

A loving wife would have IMMEDIATELY reported the rape both to her husband and the rapist's wife. IF she was telling the truth, he was scum.

The MORE likely scenario was the so called "rapist" was her lover. He got caught with yet another woman, his wife left him and he leaves town.

No doubt Janet has had multiple lovers before the "rapist" and after.

HOOK, LINE, AND SINKER

It's amazing, she remembers getting drunk, raped, how she got raped but forgot to tell her husband.....hummmmmmmmmm

Move along, nothing to see here

This story was most unremarkable. No intrigue, no mystery, no real angst, about as vanilla as they come. Nothing about the characters or storyline grabbed me. The best thing about this story was the brevity.

After 12 years of loving his twins...he is the father.

But I would have found Ted and removed his dick with a rusty knife.

MORE SECRETS

WORRY!!!????NOW THAT YOU KNOW, WHY NOT TEST THE SPERM DONOR...DEATH OF A CHILD VS A SCANDAL.....GENES AND HEREDITY FURTHER ON DOWN THE LINE.....TK U MLJ LV NV

Oh yeah, she was "raped."

No, she was putting out. Wonder how many cream pies he ate?

Interesting

If she has been faithful since that event (rape or not rape?) it is their business. I do not know wise thing to start law suit against the biological father, because the secret from the twins and they remained together. BTW I read it on SOL earlier.

RAPED!!!1ST TIME AGAIN

seems a little farfetched that it came out just now. TK U MLJ LV NV

Sad

Always feel sorry for a cuck

Whore

Rape. Yeah, right. Divorce the whore, check the other kid and find the fucking father and make him pay. Cash, of course. He can have the slut whore.

Alternative Ending - AKA The Truth

Good story and well told - but not probable. My bullshit meter starting going off with the wife's explanation. I believe everything the relatives said except the part about the rape. She was mad and she did it willingly with the guy and maybe the gal and she covered it up with an excuse that cannot be verified. She is a liar and a cheat. Wonder what she did the next time she got mad; I just saying. The family and husband cannot smell BS when it is evident OR they all chose to live in Fantasy Land with Peter Pan and the Easter Bunny. Still well written.

Don't Believe Her

It's real easy to cry "Rape!" 13 years after the fact with the "perp" long gone.

At a MINIMUM I would insist on a polygraph test, which I bet she wouldn't take and then dump HIM for not trusting her.

And now for something completely different...

I started reading this and they all had American accents (per my inner monologue), stopped half way in to watch Dr.Who, came back and finished but they all had British accents and speech patterns. Funny how the brain pulls your chain sometimes.

Oh ye unbelievers

I wonder what some of you think about the credibility of the virgin Mary? Now there's a truly unlikely explanation!

I would find ted, get his version and then kill him or at least torture him a while.

I think the polygraph test might come into play if Ted did not admit the rape. I think a tourniquet on his balls might induce the truth quickly. I might believe his wife, might not. The focus was on getting the child well as it should have been. Save the children, fuck the wife. She should have told him much sooner.
But, this is Literotica, usually it is never the wife's fault. Even if it is the wife's fault these writers usually let her off lightly because we know it is always the man's fault EVEN WHEN IT IS NOT!

The writing was ok - but the passive aggressive whine at the end, really killed it for me. Makes me wonder if the twins' academic performance might have been adversely affected by their fathers attitude towards them. "What a tool" was my reaction.

Ooh, good cover story

'He raped me'! Nice cover. How do you dispute that? It was 13 years ago, it was never reported, and Ted was never seen again.
The slut came up with that one pretty quick there, right on the spot. Give her credit for that, at least.

Thoughts

As he said, she’s got a lot of nerve being angry at his questioning their son’s paternity, right after he’s found out that he’s not their daughters’ father!

How could he have threatened her? And awfully convenient, 13 years after the fact, crying “rape” now that she’s been caught!
