Maeve and Rob Ch. 02

Interesting and well-written story

Basically a rerun of the Lady or the Tiger with lots of nice tricks. She had him convinced that she loved him and could be trusted and then she reversed the situation and the truth really does not matter, just the emotions...

Well done and well written

a good storyline formation, and the characters were well developed. Fast paced and very interesting to read. Thanks for the good post

Harry nailed this one; chapt 2 is pretty bad

The break by Rob in chapter 1 was pretty dramatic and strong. Then suddenly they are married? come on JPB.

TOTAL FAILURE see ROB & LAURIE

after walking away from Meave so dramatically in part 1...10 sentances into part 2...they are MARRIED?!! Told ya JPB would fuck this up... LOL!!

JPB never explains why Rob after being chasing by Maeve for 3 weeks and applying "pressure" (what the fuck does THAT mean?!?) would SUDDENLY cave in... and not start dating... but immediately get married.

this is the EXACT same story/ plot as JPB's ROB & LORI.
EXACT.

In THAT story the woman/ wife Lori does the exact same thing to Rob. Lies. Decieves. Cheats while dating... doesnt see anything wrong with it ...and in every instance Rob takes her back-- mostly because Lori fucks her her back into his life. Rob sees Lori and her old boyfriend go into a Motel and says NOTHING for several weeks. Lori sees Rob's willing to compromise in the marriage as a signal that he WILLINGLY be cuckold/ wimp.

ANY of this sound IDENTICAL to the current story???.
Same thing here.

JPB has to learn that it doesnt make a difference how many times you change the Title.... the same story is the same story.

And the same BAD story is the same bad story.

I thought this a good read.

It ended how it should have done. This was one of your better stories JPB.

Actually, I'd like Chapter 3

The relationship between Maeve and Rob is an interesting interpersonal interaction, not often seen at this site. Both seem to want the other strongly, but some personal devils makes that unlikely (good setup JPB). Rob went through crap to resolve in his mind their relationship for chapter 2. She went through "mishigas" to track him down which meant she both wanted some kind of tie to him and had a strong attraction for him, but whether the particular tie based on current relationships could happen is clearly unlikely. A perfect set-up for a psychodrama in chapter 3. I hope it eventually appears. JPB, I'd like to know how you would craft that continuance.

nice run

Nice story and well written. I can see it happening especially with Maeve playing her games and having to be in total control. The trust is forever gone and so in the marriage. Thanks for sharing.

Good story, lousy character to base it on

I enjoyed reading the story but the character is just pathetic. He spends all his time trying to explain how he is not really a wimp because he knows what is going on with his wife's controlling nature but allows it because he "loves" her. But she doesn't love him. She loves to try to out think him. She loves that he has the resistance to fight but she still wins. She is like a cat playing with a lively mouse. That isn't love. The cat ends up eating the mouse. The depth of her actions is revealed when she rejects the vacation plan he proposes even though it's what she wanted too. She makes an alternate choice simply to deny and hurt him. This is pretty pathetic.

He finally walks away from her BUT nothing really happens to her. For her the purpose is in the contest and the contest continues. She still holds him in the marriage and he lets her. I can't believe a judge would refuse to let him out of a marriage when he is asking for nothing out of her millions. Let's be real here! She is paying no price for her behavior so there is no resolution to the story. Stories that set up conflict need to bring that conflict to some type of resolution for the story to be satisfying.

Good storytelling to no purpose.

To: Just Plain Bob

In the first chapter you asked to leave a public comment. I did and either it was deleted or you were mad. I am so sorry for you as a writer. If you do not want a comment, then don't ask for one when you post your story. I will not comment on this chapter since I have a feeling it will be deleted.

Excellent

JPB,

Terrific story--as absolutely always. I really do like your longer stuff. I think I have reread about half of your stories--no LOL--and some of them more than once. My favorite if it matters is "Annabelle Gets caught," but there are a few others right up there.

This one is very very good.

Matt

Ended as I was afraid it would

After being so certain he should stay away from Maeve, after being warned by her, he takes her back anyway and the predictable ending occured.

You Suck!!

Ohhhh! Johnny Boy Please.....Say it ain't so! You suck so much, nm toilette plans a party for you. Talk about killing the character, heck you should've castrated him in the first chapter. Of this is all you're capable of producing, I don't think your drivel is worthy of further reading. Why???.... primarily to your dishonesty as an author (AS IF YOU SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ONE)and you're lack of integrety to your characters and story line. So, end your maniacal pain, stop publishing!!!

hey I like the guy

he is cool. could you be so cool? he is/was in love he knew she would do it sooner or later but he got 5 years with her that were good. he is consequent once he had prove and let's her standing in the rain. he doesen't need to be violant like a lot of writers and readers think it has to be, but that is just plain weakness. once you can't talk anymore you have to hit somebody. no this guy has class. he just walks away and let her rot in her own shitty soup.

1st chapter excellend; 2nd a let down

It ended as I thought it might. But I would suggest to JPB that he re-write (or add a 3rd chapter3) in which Maeve sees the light of gets to understand her deep seated problem. Marriage AND a having children has never been mentioned by either person in the story, Rob or Maeve. RAG

Just Plane bobie Just Doesn't Get It

You write of cucked men who are braindead and wanting to be disrespected, helpless and hopeless. Then you insert half a resentful manly brain and expect us to feel better after its too late.

There is no respect for your puppets and worse than none for you. No respect for your characters and your stories means you get no respect and have no credibility as regards life / reality. Nothing erotic or arousing just anger at the subhumaness of your intent.

Worse, you know all this and yet you play like a broken sick record the same demeaning male humiliation refrain while only changing the names and closets.

While its a shame about your jaded addiction to self cucking, watching and male humiliation its worse that you waste your talent on the very few like you in dire need of male humiliation to get excited .

More than sad as you and they have little to look forward to in a long empty life of self disrespect.

Bob Bob Good story!!!

I liked this story it was complete and belivilbe. "Thanks"

As you know...

Nice follow up!I so thought you would have another few chapters to these characters.... maybe....

Good Story!

One of your better ones and as someone else said, I like this guy! no drama, no histronics, no need to prove how manly he is by beating someone up. Thanks for writing.

Like your stuff

I've been reading your work for a long time and like most of it. However I feel you're getting into a rut. Most of your stories end the same way with the marraige break-up. I believe this story could have ended better. They are aparently both still in love. The woman obviuosly has psychological problems. She could go into treatment, recover and perhaps Rob and she could get back together. Just thought you could try for a happy ending for a change.

Yep,

good story and he didn't sacrifice his cojones.

Well done, but depressing

Thanks for a great writing. You depressingly depicted how assumption and betrayal can cloud the strongest of wills. I'm a happy ending kind of guy so it was a tough read to stay with it and not jumping to the end. For all I know you might surprise us all and have a chapter 3 coming for this story, though, I really don't think so.

The story is creative, well written, easy to read, and all that.

I flat out hate the story and don't believe it would be possible so I rated it 1*.

Dwornock - fucking moron - are you so insecure that you create an alter to downgrade others?

It is quite obvious that you are an alter of someone else here on this site (probably another pissant author) who can't get votes and instead decides to ruin ratings of his betters.

Fucking Loser

For the above

I read it a little late, so I don't know when it was written.

But all I could think of was: More!

Good work, J.

He has no clue.

Rob is going back to her. He just doesn't realize it yet. In a very short period of time his spine dissolves and he marries her. She goes crazy and buys a big house, buys him a flash car and basically gives him everything. (Tough life huh?) So both of them are out of character. And at the end, why doesn't he tell her that he gives into her because he loves her and understands her? Why didn't he reveal he played her a little on the last vacation? She might have had some respect for that. No, in the unfinished ending to this love story he's going to cave (spineless remember, as demonstrated throughout this story) and go back to her. Probably give her several babies to keep her busy when he's not around. Now THAT'S a JPB ending!

No Way

I disagree with the last comment. No way Rob is going back. He took enough of her shit. He proved that he didn't care about her money. He just wanted away from the controlling bitch. Whether she cheated or not is immaterial. His perception is that she did cheat and will not stop. Although he made the mistake of marrying her he got away in the end with his sanity still intact.

Always a pleasure

While your male characters seem to have a similarity to Matt Moreau's host...well...stock character, of a man who lets love override his good sense, I can see as an author why it is necessary to give some foreshadowing to the story.

This one I like. I get this woman. I feel sorry for this woman. I don't understand why she finds THIS guy so charming or how they ever integrated together, but overlooking that one fact, yeah, I get her. And that is half the battle.

This was well and subtly done. It is always a favorite when I wander down this particular path of JPB's creativity.

the dumbass

Might as well get her to buy him the baddest mustang around and then go back home and continue being a clueless cuck.

I can't understand the guy. Here he has seemingly overcome the odds and got married to the woman he loves and then he fucks everything up. Earlier in their relationship Maeve said, that the guys she chose to pick up are submissive, but that Rob was her rock. Then after the wedding he suddenly turns into the biggest pussy imaginable. It's no wonder that wifey chose to test him sooner or later and go further and further with it - until everything crashed and burned.

Maybe Maeve would have kept looking for some submissive cock even after the wedding, but if Rob hadn't changed his behavior towards her so drastically, they would at least have had an honest change.

Thanks for this story, I enjoyed some of it and your writing is always between good and great, but Rob's personality transplant after the wedding kept this from being a good story.

3 Stars! Just a little disappointing since I like 'good' endings.

Interesting tale. But as others pointed out, she didn't want a total wimp, yet that's what he gave her. He knew that she had cheated on him pre-marriage, so he had no firm reason to believe that she had not done it again. He was tired of her on and off intimacy, and decided that he didn't want to have that type of relationship for the long term. She had not proven that she had truly changed her stripes and was fully committed to him. The end was pretty inevitable. Guess she never wanted a family and children. He was able to ride a rocky marriage relationship, but she finally rode that horse too far. Thanks, JPB. Dan

Well that doesn't work

That's why no-fault divorce exists. Maeve can slow the divorce a LITTLE but there's no way she could stop it. In less than a year they'd be divorced no matter what she wanted.

that exactly

The no fault divorce laws are intended that someone not be kept in marriage they no longer want to be in.
If one wants a divorce and the other doesn't, that is an irreconcilable difference.
Delays are possible, depending on the state it may be a couple of years but in the end the divorce will be granted.
A marriage without children is easiest and quickest to dissolve in all US states.

Why would she even imagine that he would consider staying with or getting back together with her after she made him think she cheated?
Whether she cheated or not is no matter, she destroyed his trust in her.

She also gave him the perception that she does not care about his feelings either.

PAYBACK AND REVENGE TOGETHER

on a future timeline. TK U MLJ LV NV

i dont know where to start

first off dont marry the crazy bitch. second if they are still married why dont he just take a big chunk of her money and use it to pay his lawyer fees.what a dumbass

Communication

Communication communication

Enough said

Well Crafted

Good as always from JPB, characters are well defined, but poor old Maeve needs a check up from the neck up. yes she loves him but it's love on her terms and the marriage was doomed from the start. There has to be an equilibrium, give and take, deferring to the other all the time is not a marriage it's a dictatorship.

She Cheated...Again

One of Bob's better stories so...No Complaint!

Just wanted to add that hubby had it right, I'm sure she cheated on her late nights and, of course - she also lies with ease.

Too bad, he honestly cared for her and that hurts for a lifetime. I agree that he should have quit with her the first time she dated another guy!

Thanks JPB - Good One!!!

IF...

If he goes back there has to be a post-nup STRONGLY in his favor so that if she ever DOES cheat (assuming she's telling the truth and hasn't yet) that she pays DEARLY.

Second, he takes control. If he wants to, the give up the house; HE chooses his car, they choose vacations TOGETHER, if they can't agree, HE decides.

but was he ?

Was he a wimp?
He lets her make decisions about things he does not care either way about.

Funny how so many women think that a man who lets her handle the stuff he does not care about is a wimp.
Maybe men should start flipping a coin, and giving the woman the result as "my way or the highway".

nope

she wasn't controlling, just brain-dead stupid. liked the first one but this not really.

Good story, bad ending

Of course he never should have gotten married. But since he did and since she screwed it up he should have asked for a couple million just to sooth the savage beast.

Why would he marry the bitch

This whole plot is just stupid.

Entertaining read

But horrible ending.

Just plain ball-less

Shit ending
