Fools

i agree dog

husband did nothing except give a cheating slut a chance at a good life but she did not ant it.

Loved it

Very nice storyline. Excellently done as usual. Thanks.

Great tragic story

Love is amongst humans and humans have frailities. JackStraw did a beautiful job giving a display of what can go wrong. People in marriage need effort perseverance and communication to keep eachother engaged in their thoughts. Jeanette was wrong but they both shared some responsibility for their problems. Jeanette was the one that defiled herself and the marriage. There are no set of right answers but only more questions in this story. Pretty thought provoking but somewhat real.

a non wimp story from straw

Shocking!

4*

The line about wanting to believe her.. Resonates with any male who has ever fallen for a woman.. He knew was trouble.

A pure coincidence maybe, but I've just read "Reading Faces" by DG Hear minutes ago. In that story there's a husband who found his wife cheating on him and then shot the whole family before he tried to kill himself. Now here we read about your protagonist thinking about the same, with the exception of his child.

Maybe it's only because of that coincidence or whatever, but your story really moved me. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Excellent

Great tale. I'm glad the husband ended up with a great life after being betrayed by the cheating cunt. It seems no one believes in vows any longer. Why get married? I don't fucking know.

Damn

Great Story

Frighteningly realistic. Emotionally dead on. The practical side of me is curious about the paternity of Jamie if her mother started fucking around 8-9 months after the marriage and clearly before Jamie was conceived...

Fucking good story!!!!!!!!! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Not this time.
This is Longhorn_07's gem story......

Recover from betrayal with new better woman

My taste story. I like the recover from the betrayal with new beter woman as very TRUE ROMANTIC feeling and story genre! It may be a fetish for me, but such story as this can feed my recover fetish well!

Great tale!

I remember the feelings well, and this tale shows that those feelings are pretty much universal. Heartbreak, blinding anger, sadness, bitterness, and finally after several years, forgiveness. No reconciliation, but forgiveness and moving on. Would I take my ex back? Nope. My wife is the only woman I need. :)

5 Solid Stars.

I'm surprised

His ex-wife Jeanette was such a sad person that I actually wept a little for her. Yes, BTB, but her life was so tragic after he divorced her, only to be murdered in a motel room by a john, it just bothered me. If it were my wife, I'd do the same thing, yet I just felt so sorry for 'Jeanie' at the end, not getting to see her daughter graduate from HS or University, nor to see the most important day of a womans life, for both the bride and the mother of the bride.

Five stars from this old crybaby.....

NOW AND THEN THERE WILL FOR EVER BE FOOLS

whats bad Is Its sometimes Us, TK U MLJ LV NV

Disturbing

There are so many things about this that disturb me. The one thing I'd like to comment on is that Jason would give the letter to Jamie on the day of her wedding is completely absurd.

From the past

A story from that time when the 50% of the LW stories deal with the sexual majority husbands...........

A good story...but sad too...

A good story...but sad too...the cheater punished herself by becoming a whore, until she found peace of mind when she was killed...She looked for it until she found it...In a way she was the one that BTB, or that burned herself...

A good read

A very sad story which rings quite true. What a very stupid woman to throw away her husband & daughter for some real sleaze bags who didn't give a shit about her; she needed to go to counselling before the temptation got so bad.
Just a small query, he went to his father's place to get a gun, he picked a 9mm pistol, ejected the magazine, found it loaded with bullets, replaced the mag & away he went. Now his Dad was a cop, so, my problem is this, any normal gun person with a personal gun safe, keeps it locked & stores his ammunition in a different place to the weapons & should NEVER leave a weapon loaded for safety reasons. I know the USA is a gun crazy nation but that's just plain dumb & in most other countries is probably illegal. I thought that was unrealistic but very likely possible being the States. 4 ****

Interesting take on cheating

But it was total fantasy. It makes not one iota of difference in the Court room whether or not Jeanette was cheating. He could have gone to jail for taking their child away that night. But had she called the Police and they had found the gun that was NOT registered to him, he likely would have done some jail time. Regardless, Jeanette's lawyer could have used the gun (although he didn't need it) as leverage. She got primary custody, child support and alimony until their daughter graduated High School. Then they sold the house and she got 50% of the profits. Oh - just to add insult to injury - she got 50% of his retirement. That is the reality of the situation and your story was SO far out there that it just wasn't fun to read.

What!

The first inkling I had of trouble was when I called the house and Jeanette sounded out of breath. There was a sultry slur to her voice like she was a little drunk and had been on the receiving end of pleasure.

That by itself wouldn't have aroused my suspicions so much, except that I could hear the sounds of a baseball game going on in the background. Now, Jeanette didn't much like sports anyway, and she loathed baseball, calling it boring.

So what was a baseball game doing playing on the TV, if I wasn't there, and quite loudly at that?

FOR SOME REASON I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO FATHOM. I made a snap decision not to tell her I was on my way home.

WHAT! - YOU JUST STATED THE FUCKING REASON ABOVE. COME ON AUTHOR GET A GRIP!!!

please BITCH

never hate her just what she has done?, so if i was your brother, i could skull fuck you child and you would just hate the act not the bastard who did it?
It is the sinner that burns not the sin, i want to run into someone like this just to see them destroyed.....great story till that line of thinking....booze not the drinker.....meth not the druggie.....guns not the terrorist.....which is to blame the hand that holds the whip or the head that tells the hand to whip......pussy.

So what was in Jenette's Letter to her Daughter?

Enquiring minds want to know!

To all you OCD Reality-or-else boneheads--

If the author didn't tell us what state this happened in (and some states DO still have laws that allow cheating to be a factor in custody--"morals" they call it), then this story is set in the state of ScrewDaBitch, possibly even in the city of FuckHerSkankyAss, where the laws are WHATEVER THE AUTHOR SAYS THEY ARE!!! Come down off of your self produced pedestal, and join the "REAL" world of F-I-C-T-I-O-N. Get a grip people--these stories are not in "True Detective" magazine, nor are they purported as true tales. Take that load and chew on it. These stories are to be enjoyed (hopefully), not to be taken as gospel. Jeez!

Second time through...

Still five stars.

Real LW classic !

I guess this is testimony to open your eyes , especially when friends and family warn you.
Sad that her maternal instincts were so low as to screw around with her daughter present , kinda makes you think that was why she was the way she was. Just like men who beat their wives , their sons are statistically more prone to the same behavior , I'm sure that daughters who see such blatant whoring by their mothers in the early formative years are just as likely to act the same. It's truly a vicious cycle.
Saw on SOL where this author posted yesterday , incest so I didn't read it , but I really wish he would post some new LW tales .
