I just love any story by Harddaysknight. It is bound to be different and imaginative. I was not disappointed. I know it might be asking a little too much but could you weave a story around the two songs of Phil Collins "If Leaving me is easy" and "I don't care anymore"
His stories are just more realistic than anyone else's. Just as in real life, the husband is always one step ahead, arranges a free pass for himself to get a weekend of strange pussy, and then finds his wife returning to him, desperate to have him back and ready to be the exciting, uninhibited sexual partner he's always wanted her to be. I can't tell you the number of times this exact scenario has happened to me! But I never could have told the tale as well as HDK does!

Outstanding short story
This is the Harddaysknight (HDK) of old. Excellent story and written in one short posting (i.e., one short publication). He is original, makes you laugh, adds the serious element to his stories effectively, and does basically everything else required for each story he writes. HDK's pretty consistent in composing top-rated stories. One thing, however, HDK: it would be great if you'd submit stories more often. RAG
what a great Day ! a new HDK and a New DG hear on the same day. As a new way to handle this well known sub genre ..Honey I want a trial separation..." HDK has done a great job. But there are some Real problems here.
The Husband Dick says that the wife may be clueless and unobservant but she isnt deceptive or tricky. HUH? lets reviews wife's Plan... that the husband discovered and the one she admitted to.
She was going to fuck the new hunky dentist and get some strange cock AFTER demanding a trial separation to "find herself"... then she was going to allow her husband to crawl back to her.
THAT is not deceptive?! She didnt need time to "find herself". Darla wanted to cheat for a while AND crush her husband.
the Fact that Darla came clean SEEMS to speak well of her (I guess) but her plan was certainly Cruel evil and manipulative!
and WHY did Darla come clean? ONLY because her Dentist
lover was arrested for Rape. Suppose he had not been?
Lastly Dick says he was certain that Darla has NOT fucked the dentist-- YET. I am not comfortable with DICK deciding that her "scheme" was justification for HIM to cheat as well.

Another great HDK story
Another great HDK story. Interesting, funny, and with a little twist. What more can a reader ask for.
Interesting. I'm always looking forward to see what different approach you'll take to the "cheating wife" idea. I felt that this was a unique way of approaching things. I can't say I approve of the husband taking the opportunity to have sex right away, but that is really my hangup, not your story's problem. Short, sweet, and enjoyable. Thanks again. Paul
Yet another amusing story from HDK. I wondering if he
his trying to find out how to do a reconciliation story without setting off the wimp alarm. I loved but I am sure that the fact that she went as far as she did would be a deal breaker for many of our more violent real men. In the
case he was seeing only advantages in the new deal. Of course it is possible that Darla will be a "wimp" because she allowed him a freebie. The uptight ones will be really excited about his crimes... Thanks HDK it was enjoyable

Very nicely done. One thing, though. The reconciliation might be stronger if the husband did not refer to his wife as a slut.

So the wife can't cheat but he can?
Great story with that one major assed problem. How can he justify threatening his wife with divorce if she fucks a guy once; but he can have his girlfriend fuck him while he's on the phone? Thanks for ruining the story.
"I haven't read the separation handbook yet, Darla." What a great line. A treat today: we get both a DGH and an HDK story. This one put a big smile upon my face - really good to have the guy win and be ahead of the slut wife for a change. Love the last paragraph. Well done DGK!

A good read
You do the light hearted stuff better than anyone, leave the heavy emotional stuff for others.
An HDK story. With a great sense of humor and a satire knife you weild with skill, I really enjoyed your story. You can really skewer human silliness with wonderfully crafted characters. However, (did you feel that coming) the lynchpin of your story is a false ratinalization that a lawyer in a courtroom would cut to pieces: she can't, he can. In a legal separation or illegal in this case which makes no difference, they are still married. He can rightfully say no sex for her, she is not obligated to say the same. The presumption is that neither will unless they are already divorced. Obviously people do cheat during separations, but that does not justify it. Clearly you made the woman to be not the brightest bump on their marital log and she does not call his bluff. IN fact, thinking further, I would question his love for her. IF she was so piss poor in bed and he does not seem to have discussed or tried to improve the situation, I would say the marriage had been over for a long time. The problem with false ratinalizations is whether the audience get it or not. She clearly missed it and did not take adavantage of the door he opened. He cheated, not her. Thinking about cheating is not grouds for divorce. In a divorce, she was going to get half of everything and could go out either to find a better sexual partner than him or find a man who did not care if she was very good at it: of course how likely was that. And why did she feel need for a little strange: they were not talking about their needs. So he chooses to humiliate a not very intelligent woman and she is not smart enough to get it and instead tries to get back with him after she finds out her "strange" was just a sexual slug. God I missed your stories: you either make me laugh or think or both. Hooray!

Hey, hey, HDK...
Love ya man, but I gotta say...This was contrived out the ass. I mean, I loved the setup, but it's too strained to be believable.Your work ranks at the top, and a bad HDK story is better than a good one by almost anyone else; but dude, this one took a good idea and cratered. Needed AT LEAST some dénouement; it was just over too quickly.Please don't hibernate so long next time; just do some better thinking-through, even if it means abandoning the Bee-uhlls.
I guess when an author is well-liked and writes a lot of good stories, he/she gets a pass no matter what type of story is subsequently written. I call it the Emperor's New Clothes Syndrome. No one is willing to look "foolish" or buck the crowd to say the Emperor is not wearing any clothing. And almost no one is willing to give a score below 100 because HDK is an author who has written so many terrific stories in the past. Had this been an unknown author, I seriously doubt there would be so many perfect scores. While this story is well-written, I have a problem with the lack of credibility and fairness that gets in the way of a high score. I agree with the one or two other readers' comments indicating they were upset that our hero Dick gets to sleep with divorced, sexy Becky while wife Darla (who may have planned an infidelity but who has not yet consummated it) is warned about cheating during the separation because the marriage would then be over. I really don't feel that Dick loves Darla -- it's obvious he feels so betrayed by her plan for an affair that he thinks he gets a free pass to not only cheat (to teach her a lesson), but a second free pass to make her a slut for past sexual indifference (diminished libido). In reality, this marriage was dysfunctional from the get-go, and there should have been communication and counseling well before the crisis came to a head. Maybe this story is satire and it's supposed to make the reader laugh because of the idea of turnabout; if so, I guess I took it too seriously and didn't "get it." I still admire HDK's skills as a clever writer but this one just did not do it for me.
Hi There HDK, it really was a fun read. You are still one of the best writers on this site and I salute you. Hell man, I learned from you. With the highest respect

I have mentioned in the past regarding this unique HDK's quality of walking the line of humor and serious plot.

Who could ask for anything more? Publish your stories in a book and I'll be the first to buy it!
straied. If HDK had made this more real, the humor would have been lost. It's a cautionary fairy tale, no real animals were harmed in the making of this story. No marriages were stressed and no one left a wet spot... now that would be fodder for another story, have the wife sleep in the wet spot... no, too gross.

also keep doing those titles and see
He had the facts of what his wife was doing before she could bring up her plan of separation. I would say that small flaw in her plan will wind up giving her a pain in the ass.Thanks for the story......Rich
As much as I love your stories, [Gifts... actually] I can not wait to read through the comments. They can be as entertaining as the tale. So many miss your lighthearted approach and are too serious for they're own good. He is a bastard for cheating and she did not cheat. They bring up how her lawyer will crucify him in court, well... first thing is where is her proof? Did she record the conversation? Even if she did, can she prove it was not faked to hurt her, in return for hurt she caused. The other woman is long gone, and would she testify anyway? He has recordings of their plans and she asked for the separation. He has conspiracy and intent. In the eyes of the court she is guilty and he is innocent. [Does a bank robber get let go, if they catch him before he gets out the door, he really did not steal anything, the money didn't leave the building. He has to be innocent he never got to take anything... hahahaha] Even with his tongue and cheek slant, HDK covers his bases very well. For those who think the guy is terrible for his infidelity... well how was she repaying him for his faithfulness with a mediocre sex life? Paybacks are a bitch!
Hell HDK, they are almost making me take this to seriously...

Another humerous story with a strong meaning underneath. Before you look for great sex with another...try for great sex at home! Although in reality it's hard to get out of the old rut. It would seem that HDK has a few readers that really resent that he gets high scores for his writing. I personally think that he is successful because he has established a pattern of writing damn good stories! Sure some may be better than others to readers, but none are out and out poor. Newer writers that write as well will get their due...
