I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying

How sweet it is!

OH, how sweet and mushy it is! Everything worked out just fine, up to and including J.W.'s cutting back on his job. My goodness, even a marriage counselor could not have arranged such a "perfect" resolution of the problem.

I don't know...but I smell a fish somewhere in Denmark.

Well done fantasy

Critical events and reactions were a bit convenient but still a fun read!

Fun Romance

I enjoyed your story, although I thank that the wife over did it with the LBD. He was run down, tired, disappointed then received the phone call. The only thing I didn't understand is why she didn't invite him to the dinner. Thanks for writing. Please ignore the sophomoric comment about it being too sweet.

Great story

I can understand the insecurity faced by the main character (no man wants to think of our lovers being unfaithful, especially when we men often have trouble feeling worthy of the woman in question), so it made the story very interesting to see his reaction.

Well Structured

and reaches its objectives. As they say a problem in communication!

how

How do these people keep a job, first off he's retarded and he never thought she would go to her sister. read your own stories before torturing readers with this foolishness

Forced and contrived

Just unbelievably dumb. Go back and re-read the resturant confrontation scene. His wife introduces her boss to J.W.
the world's dumbest man.

then there is 10 seconds of SILENCE. !?!?!

In that 10 seconds of JW acting like a douche bag why doesnt the wife continue... "and this is his wife and the son".

Oh I see... because there would be No story.

Harry is spot-on....

....and to "fun romance" there is nothing sophomoric about what that poster said.It is likely that their problems would not be over as any sane human would be hurt or angry or both about the lack of trust.That said IF she was the world's most understanding wife,(and in all fairness her acceptance of his scar points to that) it could result that way, but Harry's point still stands.It is not a minor glitch.Woodman overall gets better and better but I think rushed this one-pistolpackinpete

Except

The Dixie chicks suck dick, like pete and they are not going to be around to help or kids and grandkids pay back this massive debt we have just accumlated for no reason and after health welfare is in place their will be no middle class and thats what its all about, goverment run fairness. Turn your pistol in pete before your boy comes and gets it.P.S. liked the story.

The postscript had me in stitches

and though I see the points made by the other commentators, I'm not worried by the obvious flaws. WMO writes slick, with good one liners, and I like the feel good as it develops. Then the 'scar' conversation got to me, scarred as I am, and I filled up some. Ahem. I know my darling Blue feels that way about me too. She says honorable scars should be borne with pride. Thanks Woodmanone...Mancelt.

Fine writer- stupid hero??

You have become one of my favorite writers, but your hero in this plot has to be one of the dumbest men in literature. Disapoointing story from a fine writer like Woodmanone.

I can't understand why she didn't just tell him

she had an important business meeting with the "big boss". She clearly left her husband with the understanding that she was on a "girls night out", and that is logical grounds for a bad misunderstanding. Trust but verify is always a good practice when it comes to sluts.

She definitely said;

"This isn't just the office crew, my boss and the other three department heads will be at the meeting. And their boss is in from the corporate office and will be there also. This meeting could be important to my job and important for us. Please try and understand."

JW reacted exactly like a mindless 'construction jock'.

WHY DID SOMEONE PHONE AND SAY THAT THEN. I THINK SHE TRIED TO COVER UP

Questionable behavior by wife?..... I think so.

I've been reading your library in alphabetical order, skipping the multi-parters to last, and really wish the stories were listed chronologically. Man, your '09 stuff is pretty brutal. Oh, the story lines are fine and character development is good but the problem is those characters, especially your female leads, just aren't very likable. For instance, this whole fiasco between Bonnie and John could have been avoided with a simple invitation for John to join her for dinner with her boss and his family. I realize that doesn't make much of a story but you can't write it the way you did, making Bonnie out to be the injured party. Happy endings are great but they have to be logical. In your defense, you seem to have learned this in your later work.

Chronology is easy

'Lonewolf', just copy the alphabetic list of tales to MSWord, convert it to a table and sort it by the date (4th column), or paste it into Excell. Just don't be surprised to find that a man has more than one partner at a square dance. Heh, heh. Hey, 'Woodmanone', great story by the way.

5

The story was to your usual very high standard....
The 5 was for your postscript................

I will have you know

I can get ready, hair and makeup done in less than 45 mins lol

45 min is plenty

my wife is not hi maint. one of many things i love about her. she can beat 45 min easy.

Who made the phone call?

And why?
It is not as it appears in her oversimplified explanation!

It was good -

You tied up the loose ends pretty well to - no missing answers and a loving couple.

Nice one -

And it seemed to flow better and there were fewer errors - you must be using a text editor of some one is helping???

well, no

Why didn't she ask him to go with her?
That is quite commonly done, having a spouse is seen as a plus for promotion in both the corporate world and the military.
Married people are believed to be more stable, more mature.
They already had a babysitter.
He asked her to go out with him, so obviously he was willing to go out.

That she not only did not ask him to go but dressed in her best does look suspicious.
To then get a phone call saying she was doing other than what she claimed added to the doubts he would naturally have.
(So calling him "a mindless 'construction jock'" is a fail.)

But as the saying goes:
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

Excellent

A well written and believable story. Keep up the good writing.

What a temper

The only story of yours that I have read where I didn't care for your male"hero". His temper could get him some serious jail time. She told him where she was going for the meeting and time. She is there for the meeting & still he goes off like a mad dog. He has serious trust issues after receiving a call from an unknown person. Wow.

Answers,

Lies and fairy tales. Bonnie spun her tale and delivered J.W. into cuckold land like a pro. Now she's got the big boss on tap, her rugged hubby AND his very successful company to get 50% of when she's ready. J.W. just accepts her story, no verification, no real evidence, just her word and of course sex. He might be a smart builder but she's a smarter manipulator.
