Patty Screws Up

Good woork

I always enjoy your stories. This one was really good.

Fred

real life

Very realistic attitude of husband towards the wife "story". Once trust is gone he would have no reason to believe anyting Patty says. JPB did not make the Husband out to have revenge or complicated divorce plot. Just "its Done" -move on

Not bad for a JPB story

I usually hate your stories, either they are off the charts unbelievable or you do not finish what you start (premature writing perhaps?) But this was actually not bad.

Really fine work!

Well written, well plotted and a man who we can consider for role model status!

More Please

This story is as good as anything that you've done before. However, I think it begs for a second chapter. There seems to be a lot that can be said about Patty and her thoughts as well as where Rob and Janis might go. Is there any chance in hell for Rob and Patty, even after their divorce? Personally, I can't see how anybody could just give up on a relationship so easily as Rob did, without even trying. Maybe he's right, but maybe not. What she did certainly wasn't right. It needs closure.

The only point elicited....

...in this well written waste of time was totally neglected by the author. You owe the reader for never developing the discussion of just what exactly constitutes cheating.

I wanted to add that at least Bob doesn't....

....pretend to care. Even in a relative short like this one he can't stick to one storyline. First he met her after working for Janice for awhile, then he met her in college. Or "Collage" as readers here know it.

Not too bad, JPB, far better than your other stories. And to me giving someone a handjob, letting a man suck your tits and then getting finger fucked by someone other than your husband, and all the dinner dates the ex-wife went on, that to me is cheating. So in this case the husband did the right thing. Thanks for the story.

ELICITED?

Quit trying to use words that you don't know their precise meaning. Elicit refers to autonomic responses. Explaining a definition to readers is learned behavior therefore operant. The word you're looking for is evoked.

Liked this one JPB

You get a lot of criticism from commentators.

All I can say is I dont write stories but I love reading them and yours are easy to read and I always get something from them.

Thanks for taking the time to write and post here.

With a different ending I may have rated it 5 stars.

However, the ending is too harsh making Rob too much an unreasonable ass.

Patty didn't do anything to be ashamed of. All Patty did was to have a little fun; no harm in that. Nevertheless, Rob went off the deep end and refused to believe her and made a mountain out of mole hill.

Mole hill?????

DWornock If my wife dated another man behind my back for 3 months it would be a mountain not a mole hill. Get real....just having fun? That would be a deal breaker. Thanks for the read Bob. Jim

gave a 5 star because I saw that dwornock had commented on it.

5*****

5 for not getting a 1 from DWornock

That is an achievement in itself. Generally he finds sadistic pleasure in tearing down stories and authors and telling them he gave them a 1. Good Job JPB!!

for those who think itis ok to date while maiired

What part of LOVE, HONOR AND CHERISH allows for a partner to date someone else?
That said to handle the genitalia of someone other than your partner is not in the cards either.
If my spouse were to touch anyone else, either gender, in such a way that would be the end of US.
That is not my statement, it is the spouse's. I did not argue and have behaved for over 35 years, yes I have had offers. Some were blatent and some otherwise.
If you are going to make a promise you should be mature enough to keep it.

Pattty Sluts Up

Thank you Bob for allowing your main character to have some balls. The wife did not deserve a second chance because she would have done it to him again eventually.

again JPB did a guy with balls. 5

Too too bad

Old Rob turned out to be a heartless worthless son of a bitch. He knew when he married her she had problems. Early in the story you announced he expected something sooner or later. He reflected on her promiscuity while they were in college. He knew he was marrying a basket case when he said I do! Then he had a job that required travel. Was he really that surprised when he found out something was up? It was like he married a girl addicted to coccaine, and every so often he left her with a line of the stuff out on the counter while he was out of town .Like she wasn't going to succomb? He owed it to himself and to her to try something else first beside divorce. Whatever happened to counseling? Hell he had a supervisor who wanted to jump in the sack with him! Didn't her company have some insurance for some kind of counseling? He married her knowing she was sick; he must have loved her once. Why would he cut her loose with a problem he knew she had? If he didn't owe it to her he owed it to himself to try to get her mind straight. Shit; he acknowledged she was one of the college whores, she had an emotional problem, and in the end he abandoned her. What a prick! He's no man; he's just a piece of shit.

I Disagree With The Last Comment

Rob married Patti in spite of her past. But in the back of his mind he knew someday her promiscuity would possibly surface. If you remember he had doubts originally about marrying her. Well his doubts were correct. Patti started seeing someone and lied to Rob. He knew what he had to do and that was end a bad marriage. She cheated once and if his flight wasn't cancelled he wouldn't have found out and she would have kept on being a cheater.
Rob's not the bad guy. Patti was a whore waiting to surface and did what he had to do. DIVORCE THE CHEATING CUNT.

OH YEAH

Carvohi

This assumes that people have no free will. She KNEW what he wanted, promised to be good...and broke her word.

Now, you can equate it to cocaine, but how is it that she went cold turkey for 5 years, if we are to believe the author? With that much 'healing' under her belt, she should have developed coping mechanisms sufficient to keep her on the straight and narrow.

Because your analogy was incorrect. He did NOT leave her alone in an apartment with a line of cock (sic). SHE, the girl who was cold turkey for years, CHOOSE to go out and FIND her line of cock.

If she had free will, she said yes to cheating.

If she was an addict, she WILLFULLY put herself into a crackhouse for cheaters...thinking she could 'be strong'. Yeah right!

Now, Rob's circumstances hasn't changed. He is still a man who has to travel. He does NOT have the option of staying home and sitting on top of his wife or attending constant counseling sessions to reintegrate her coping strategies AGAIN.

Besides, she SAYS she only messed around a little...but her word has been destroyed and she KNOWS that mentioning more than she has done will definitely destroy the marriage. So she has every incentive to lie and minimize...and she's a proven liar.

But to answer your one question: he already gave his 'addict' a chance to change her life. She didn't. Why should he waste any more time with a person who already had her chance?

Very Convincing

JPB, you are soooo good at finding the right words to suggest to the hubby (and us) that just maybe she is honest and redemption is possible.

I married a tramp (a somewhat discreet tramp) because she said her baby was going to be mine. It wasn't but I had a talk with her about her past, how our future should be and proceeded to make a life for us. Like Patty, my wife was hot, sexy and insatiable and I did really have feelings for her. Fifteen years later I walked away. I talked to her, she was stunned that I was aware of her conduct off and on for years but I knew she was discreet and only active when I was away for one to three weeks a few times a year. Am I a cuck - NO, she was a fantastic wife, mother to a son that was mine and we were great together but one day she began to get careless and I confronted her...my talk, we swing together, date openly, you quit your conduct or we just call it a day...and, I was calm and easy with her. Decision, she would stop but I caught her less than a month later and that was it.

My point, Patty seemed to regret her actions, was remorseful and wanted a chance - well, Rob was more stable than I was and there were no children so - he was right.

Surprised Randy wasn't her new boyfriend - oh well!

Thanks.

@carvohi - once upon a time

So there's this guy. He's young and foolish. He falls in with the wrong crowd. Some shit happens and he kills another guy in a fit of rage. Now he's a murderer. He serves his 20 years in jail and earns parole. He gets out and soon meets a woman and moves in with her. She learns that he is an ex-con and a murderer. She stays with him because he convinced her that he is reformed. Then one night she wakes to find his hands around her throat and she is gasping for air. He is also severely beating her. She lashes out and escapes.

Now, by your own twisted logic carvohi, her near-death is her own damn fault, and she deserves to die because she is a "worthless piece of shit" as you say for not going back to him and giving him another chance to kill her?

Fucking grow up and get your head out of your ass!

I liked this story, now she can spread her gash and get that thrill she wanted now she has the divorce she has been talking up. 2nd thoughts your comments pretty much spells out that you were a cuck, being a good wife and shit doesn't negate you being a cuck, she fucked around on you, your a cuck.

Finish

Now finish the story, what happen to him and her!? If not finished it's just a 2*

My favorite character

has to be Janis. She is mature, worldly, business minded and yet evinces a deep caring streak. She lodges in my memory and pushes this story to favorite status.

Krosis666, what a horrible analogy. There is a vast difference between 'cheating' and 'risking one's life'.

If you think cheating = murder, you need a serious mental reassessment. It is not equivalent except maybe inside your head.

Extremely well done!

Even if she wasn't lying, it's time to go. Dating his boss is a no-go unless she is the business owner.

I would LOVE to see a part 2!

If my wife went out a date with another man, a real date and I found out, I'd divorce her. Whether they did anything else or not. If my wife were to kiss a man as though he was her boyfriend/mate, I'd divorce her. And I would have NEVER considered marrying a girl who fucked the first time we met. That is trouble with a capitol TROUBLE!

great line

....Please Rob, let me explain."

"Go ahead Patty, there isn't anything good on TV anyway,...

Had to give it a five.

Fuck, I forgot to see who the author was before I started reading. Now I've got blue head.

Yeah, JPB loves to leave the story, and the reader, hanging. He's kind of perverted that way. When a shitty author does it you don't really care. But JPB is like the proverbial vixen that leads you up to her hotel room, drops her dress and panties as she enters the room, then smiles at you over her shoulder, and shuts the door in your face! Just plain fucked up if you ask me. I think he has commitment issues. If he finishes a story he has to choose how it ends, and he just can't handle the stress. So he doesn't. Prick! OK, a good writer, but still a prick!

Thoughts

It doesn’t matter that “nothing happened” between her and Randy. What she ADMITS to is something happening that should NEVER happen with a married woman!

If it was so “innocent” she should have told him about her dates with Randy as soon as he got home from his trip, and when he blew up, which he surely would have, she should have broken things off with Randy never to be repeated.

And the fact that he knew her history is no blame on him. SHE knew her history as well, and knew how he felt about it, and still put herself into a situation that fed into her proclivities.

And Carvohi, I am usually a big fan of yours, but I can't disagree with you more with your criticism of Rob. As I said in the earlier part of my comment, she owed him an admission of what she did that first series of dates with Randy. That would have likely cleared things up early and they quite likely would still be together.

Oh what the heck...

I've been called on the carpet for an old remark. Yeah I blamed JPB's protagonist for divorcing his 'troubled' wife. Here's my alibi and my mea culpa.

First I've been writing a ton of loving wives stories where the husband finds a way to 'rescue' his marriage and his 'sick' wife. Guess I got caught up in my own story lines. I didn't do that in my last story, and my next three won't see a rescuing husband either.

My mea culpa... I'm married and have been married to an ornery high strung hard head for years. One thing I'll say; she's been 'hit on' quite a lot. She's been 'hit on' by teachers when I taught, and she's been 'hit on' by lawyers and various business persons she and we have done business with. What has she done? We've left luncheons and business gatherings early because she got pissed. She's cussed one out right in front of a very important group. She's steered me away from certain men and situations when I saw something. She kneed one guy at a holiday dance once for 'groping'. She's told me every time! She's also made it crystal clear I'm not allowed to get into 'it'. In short, I've never had to deal with spousal dishonesty. It's easier to be theoretical when it's never happened to you. So I'm sorry I yanked JPB's protagonist's chain.

@carvohi

I still believe in reconciliation but only if it happens once,BTB is an easy way for revenge but does it make things better in the long run ? i don't think so,a one time mistake for a short time and if the woman is truely remorsefull (there are these days enough means to verify the honnesty of her remorse)
I think it takes a strong person to be able to forgive and not a wimp.OH and please let's not forget the men,the cheating kind i mean ,there are enough of them ;)

Consequences

You are responsible for your actions and their consequences. A person has a brain to make choices and Patty made a bad decision. She wouldn't have done what she did if Rob was standing beside her so why can she do it behind his back. Her actions do not pass the husband test.

In spite of some of the comments, I think Rob was more than fair. He married her on her word that her "wild" streak was over; she was the one that caused the problem. The fault lies with someone else according to the comments. Not to the slut that ignored and broke her wedding vows.

Personally I think Rob took the high road and didn't go for all out revenge or payback. Good on you Rob.

Woodmanone

In a couple of months?

How about a year or two? No sane person divorces a cheating spouse and then just jumps into a relationship with another woman - ESPECIALLY if that woman is his boss. Talk about committing both professional and personal suicide! He needed to get the sour taste out of his mouth and date some other people before he fell into bed, love and marriage with his boss. That was just dumb.

Well

It is a good story and was going along nice till almost the end, then the author seems to have reached a conclusion way to fast.

Divorce

Not suppose to date the boss. Can only led to big problems latter on...like DIVORCE.

YEAH

super awesome....5

Non-Story

This is just a goofy story that made absolutely no sense to me. The whole premise of her going out with a guy for 3 months but "not cheating " is ludicrous. And the ending was pretty much a non event. All in all, just not "all that ".

Don't marry a whore

Entertaining

Good Read***

Thanks for sharing.
