What Would You Do Now? Ch. 03

Lol...

I don't usually like the stories where they end up back together but this one was good. I especially like the parting line, "walk a mile in my shoes and then go fuck yourself". Classic!

thanks

pride makes us do a lot of things we later regret. time sometimes allows to mend those mistakes. thanks for a lovely example

Loved the ending

Your last paragraph about walking a mile in my shoes and then .... is exactly how a Navy Seal would say it. Very well done I thought. I'm a big Duke fan as well.

this is exactly why we need a section for cucks and wimps.

The author proudly boasts that he is a wimp... time and again he says in this chapter, sue me i am a wimp and on those lines. This is exactly why we need a different section for cucks and wimps so that their stories can be posted there. Massive wimp.

Walk a mile?

Hell I walked 10 miles in your shoes, dumped the cheating bitch and have enjoyed my life and retirement. Trust is everything in a marriage, without it there is no marriage.

Wimp shit

I have walked over a mile in those shoes. Kicked her out, found a women that would love me for who I am, been extremly happy...no regrets at all.

Better

Still some inconsistencies:

"She is a basket case. She is losing weight, she looks like an old bag lady, and she just doesn't seem to want to take care of herself."

Not at all how you characterized her in part two. Also, why does she now, after 3 years finally apologize for the affair and not just him finding out? There needs to be an explanation of why she changed her mind. Was it because she lost her job? Then the reconciliation is foolish and the comments about being a wimp are well deserved. If it is because she truly loved him and was distraught over what she did, then reconciliation is deserved and the others can eat shit and die (as William would probably say). I assume that given this belated apology you intended the latter to be the case. However, given the lack of explanation and appropriate character development on the part of the wife, I can't decide which reason I believe more.

I do understand the idea that 30 years of love can cover a multitude of transgressions, so don't let the mindless criticisms get to you. I understand why they have been given here, but I also understand your intent. Thanks.

priceless

"Walk a mile in my shoes and then go fuck yourself" -- for this alone the story deserves 5*, and the rest is great as well.

Like the emotional feel

You finished with a "made my choice and I don't care how you feel about it" message. Different than most. Good.

Couple of things didn't line up but still it made for a good read.

Thx

Looks like a rushed ending.

Love your work, but this one ended wrong..think through this with me please. A mature woman who was a good woman deciding she needed sexual needs met, would never ever go public and carry on this way. Especially in front of co-workers, not just once but several times? Only a long active slut would act that way. A decent woman? Thinking she needed some sort of tryst would be very, very discreet. She is one or the other. How about him? A mans man, navy seal, with a mental fortitude that he would have and a very proud character. Yes he would feel bad for her condition, yes he would help her out....but return to the way it was? Not in this lifetime. Sorry good story, rushed ending.

Great story.

Thanks for a great story. Keep on writing.

limp wimp

Had a chance to be a man but couldn't do it.

I respect and like your stories

BUT, the last comment was certainly not a smart way to talk to your readers, also, the wife didn't just make a mistake and tried to redeem herself, no, she went on and lived with the boyfriend, supported him, and slept with him in her ex's bed after the divorce, well, taking her back after that says something about hubby, if not a wimp then what???

if it made him happy to fuck the old whore again so what. he dumped her ass and she was miserable. he was not really happy. i would like a DNA test on his son though as he is far to tall for a short father so maybe the original mother was a cunt too.

I did walk over a mile in your shoes

Got rid of the lying whore of a wife and moved on...best thing I ever did. So you go fuck yourself you wimp.

Plot Problems

From my experience, I have grave doubts about the likelihood of this plot. I know couples that have "best friend" relationships and have had physical problems as they got older. Indeed, those problems affected their sex lives, but this didn't result in cheating. The reason why is sex is just sex. If there is a problem, it is easy to overcome one way or the other. The need for sexual release is as simple as masturbation. This does not mean an end to intimacy though. As far as cheating is concerned, that is a sign that they are not "best friends". In fact, it is a clear sign that at least one of them does not really care very much about the relationship and is willing to risk it for some excitement. The excitement of deceiving the other spouse. So, their relationship could not have been as reported in this story. After the divorce both could have easily moved on with their lives. In fact, she moved the boyfriend in for a period. Once it was over, why go back down that dirty road? He had it made, why not just keep enjoying life and know that you did your best while the whore didn't keep her end of the bargain?

Walk a mile in your shoes?

I wish I had that chance and could make the type of choices made in this tale. Alas I had no choices. Walk a mile in my shoes and then explain why you're not a pussy wimp.

doesn't fit

a real wife and best friend would not cheat on a husband that was sick. just doesn't work.

BS

You cannot have the character react the way he does. The final 3 paragraphs trash everything you wrote previously. The fool and the wimp in the story is the author who rejects his own story for a totally bs incomprehensible feel good ending. If you are going to write you, should have the character to stick to the plot and let your fictional creations be themselves.

Well that was an complete 180 degree reversal.

And as the author, you can write anything you like. It simply didn't make any sense. Since she was the organized one, why didn't she immediately go after the company? Why was she living in an apartment when she could have remained in her house? Money wasn't a problem. Since she had friends, why weren't they around supporting and helping her? Why wasn't she doing more for her grandson if she was "retired"? Why would William suddenly change his mind about the way he was living with all the naked women? Your story wasn't badly written. You just went crazy at the end by changing everything you had previously setup. Maybe next time you'll have better continuity?

Sometimes..

..circumstances dictate that we just let some people who did us wrong, just wither up and die. It's never pretty, but sometimes it is the correct path to take.

Ass

Refers to both you and your character. If you want to write something other than senile drivel that has all the plot of a fifth rate comic book, try having your characters act as you have developed them. You are going to be justifiably dumped on and excoriated if you persist in having your characters act randomly just because the result might appeal to you at the moment. Further, when you write shit and challenge people to disagree with your insipid crap, you deserve whatever abuse you get.

Must be Alzheimers

How else could he go from not being able to drive the memory of what he saw his wife doing to being happy with her?

why not a play by play

of the war on the company, then u can put your weenie to the ex's cunt.
shoulda been at least 2 more full pages.

Well, I can go for a reconciliation at this stage of the game.

I still don't agree with giving her half of the lottery winnings but it was his decision. At that age (I am older) and them both being lonely I will go along with their decision although I still remain a firm BTB fanatic.

Too late to give advice

And this wasn't the first one of your stories I've read, so I know you're reaching the promise shown here in your first effort. I know you can't have a lasting marriage without compromise and forgiveness; however, her adultery was a game-changer! I don't care how much he wants to forgive and forget to keep his marriage; it takes two to tango, and that dance is done! The contempt and hate she expressed with her public humiliation of him can only be attributed to an evil person. Since the only love an evil person has is self love, we know his marriage is dead as it requires the love of the husband for his wife and the love of the wife for her husband for the marriage to live. Anything less is a sham; a dead marriage. So what would I do? I would be forced to recognize that I did not have the loving wife I thought I had, that my marriage was dead and I could forgive her until I was blue in the face but I still wouldn't have a marriage; so I would divorce her and sue for alimony. I would sue her company for alienation of affection. Then I would do the best I could to make Henry regret fucking with another man's life.

Nope

I might let my wife back, but with that kind of money it would be in an entirely differently wing of the house and I'd keep my naked honey's. Fuck Jenny and the terrible disrespect she showed toward her husband and family. I wouldn't touch her cunt with a 10' pole.

There is no fool like an old fool and this fellow (slightly old that me) is an old fool.

Great story!

"Burning Daylight"

Credit Jack London, not John Wayne.

I'm good with that

Depends on your values, doesn't it. Bimbos are Great sex, but they really don't give a shit about you. Old wife shares 40 years of memories, can't find that in a bar. Have wife and a little on the side. Would work for me.

Pretty much an escapist story, but that's ok
Chilley

30 Good Years???

Everyone, including the author, seems to think the length of time before the betrayal is significant.

I would agree that it is significant. But I think it is significant in the opposite manner that they seem to think. "The closer the relationship, the more bitter the betrayal". How could anyone disrespect someone, like she did her husband, if she really loved him for 30 years.

Though she may have mastered the illusion, it is obvious that she didn't love him for 30 years. Instead of repeating, ad nauseam, that they loved each other for 30 years, shouldn't he be reassessing what actually took place for 30 years.

Robert

No

On the other hand why not,if he can live with it.
He was awful worried about the people that knew before,and she made him happy.
Still to do something like that and disrespect him right to his face with him before he caught them.
I couldn't take her back,but this is fiction anything can happen.

"Burning Daylight

Romeo and Juliet, Act I, Scene iv, line 539:
Mercutio: "Come, we burn daylight, ho!"

Yeah, he is a wimp.

Enuf said.

Yeah, she was sure as hell sorry...

...The way she jumped right back into bed with old Henry as soon as the fat husband was out of the way. And got her cunt pound multiple times per day for months.

Yep, sure as hell sorry, she is.....

I stand by my earlier comment -

He is entitled to do it any way he pleases - it will likely work - they are their own best friends - that is a lot. He has dealt with the anger and the betrayal. He extracted his pound of flesh without getting further hurt.

He has had the fun part and wants the quality back - go for - they are both old enough to do whatever the fuck they want heh.

So the title of this story is "What would you do now?"

I'll simply say I disagree with your ending. I would not have given her a nickel of my lotto winnings. Hold the ticket, get the divorce and then cash it in so she has no rights to the money. You could always put Steve onto her getting fired and she can have all the 2 million from that settlement. She'll do fine. Then take care of yourself. If you can't, hire a part time nurse or other help to get you organized. Then play with your young bunnies, travel and just enjoy life. Why would you take a cheating, lying, self centered bitch back into your life? It makes no sense. That is my answer as to "What would you do now?" Cheers!

story

great story. shows that a person can learn to over look somethings and also meds can really mess up a guys sexual functions.

Something new to something old.

Read some of the westerns, hooked on the new. Decided to go to the begining. A big difference. Same attitude, and I read through the gramma stuff. I'm a non fiction reader, but I enjoy a good novel once in awhile. There are about a half dozen writers on literotica that I really enjoy, and you're in that crowd. There is always that 10 percent that nit pick, But they don't write anything. I'm Jim by the way a retired "Jarhead". Also found you on amazon as I have a kindle. Keep them comming.

WOW! Everyone sure learned their lessons

He arranged for her to have $250,000 a year for life
a bonus check of $2.000.000
provided her a home
and made sure she suffered no revenge, retribution, or discomfort.

He really showed her!

Lost me on this one

For those of you that say I am a wimp, not a man or whatever; let me say this. Walk a mile in my shoes and then go fuck yourself. I am happy and that is what matters."

It is not about being a wimp. It is about a being a silly man who makes poor decisions. William felt like he had "saved" her. Saved her from what? Being a slut? Being a cheater? Being a selfish bitch? He never saved her from anything. He was on an ego trip. She is still the same person. She is still scum. Why bother? How long before it hits him how stupid he was? How long before he kicks her out or starts abusing her, verbally if not physically? Try thinking things through, eventually we have to stop denying, stop lying to ourselves and we have to do the math. This relationship does not add up.

I think I can understand

I think I can understand why he wanted her around again. Not saying that I would do the same mind you, just that I can see where an older man might be more open to forgiveness since the thought of dying alone can get to you.

Damn

Just re-read all three chapters. Another commenter mentioned about her giving him thirty good years and another stated that how do we know all were good? In my personal experience (read my bio) I questioned the whole of my entire marriage. There are no good memories, no favorite vacation spots and no good friends. All who were party to her infidelities are gone from my life. As far as I'm concerned they are just as guilty of betraying me as my dead cunt decomposing wife. It just seems that everyone alive sucks. Fuck everyone.

Damn good!

I have read almost all of your stories now and have enjoyed every one of them. But, I think this was one of the best. Keep writing. I hope to read many, many more.

A nice little story.

IRL - I don't think I could have taken her back. After the bit of time had passed, he should have felt absolute indifference about her. Can't remember if this was in ch 2 or ch 3 - Absolutely incongruous than she and Henry lived together for 2 months. Their offices required flying to get from one to the other. If they really were living together, she would have known Henry had not been fired.

WOW!!

Great ending!!!

Should Have Stopped!

I should have stopped reading after section 2. I liked that ending and how he acted except for giving her the money. I liked that he helped her go after the company BUT to take her back. Hell No! Especially after the divorce when she showed how sorry she was and how much she loved him by moving in with her lover. She only got sorry after the lover left. Not a good candidate for reconciliation. Even after supposedly 30 good years, the last 'bad' year would make me question the supposedly 30 good years.

You have to consider their ages also. at thirty they could easily meet and remarry, in the high 60's and considering his medical problems, not so much. I think he did the right thing. Thank you for a great story in a story type that is not my favorite.

Really enjoyed it!! Appropriate ending.

. . . So glad there was a part three where they got back together. I would agree it would have been interesting to see her thought process move to the point where she was sorry for her actions, rather than just sorry for his hurt . . . but we can sort of imagine that.
Glad those guilty goy canned. One commenter said this was not sexual harassment, but I believe he or she had really narrowed the definition to just being involved with having sex. There was definite gender bias. I think once you prove gender bias, you've pretty much got sexual harassment. She was looking for an affair, true, but if you've had those films, you know it isn't just about coercive sex. Bias against gender, sexual-orientation, or simply making others uncomfortable is enough. The firing based upon gender, and holding a female to a different standard than a male employee was more than enough for sexual harassment (not to mention the obvious workplace 'discomfort' of being where women can lose their jobs, but men get to keep theirs, for the exact same infraction).

Another bad ending

The last comment made my decision easy.

"For those of you that say I am a wimp, not a man or whatever; let me say this. Walk a mile in my shoes and then go fuck yourself. I am happy and that is what matters."

If that's what matters to him (you), then fine. What matters to me is that he man-up and set an example for his son and grandson. If you play, you pay. Again, good writing but bad story finish.

Read it Again

Please Jenny, I need someone I can trust and I miss my friend." - Are you kidding me? Someone I can trust? My friend? The story defined her as someone he couldn't trust, and friends are not only people that you can trust, but people that care about you, do not hurt or humiliate you, and certainly do not break their marriage vows. The vast majority of these plots insist on this irrational line of thinking. Nothing in her actions showed her love for her husband. Not one FUCKING THING. In fact, it was quite the opposite. After the divorce, she again shacked up with Henry. At best she was just another mentally disturbed woman, there are lots of them out there. At worst she was a selfish bitch with no redeeming qualities. Either way, at 67, he was better off without her. He was past needing a wife to raise a family. She proved to be a lousy friend, companion, soul mate. She was untrustworthy, that is a terrible quality when your health might be in question. No, getting back with her was a terrible idea for his mental and physical health. His son should not have pushed him towards her. The memories of her betrayal will come back and eat him alive.
