All Comments on 'Der Witwer (The Widower)'

Feel good story, good guy wins, bad guy gets comeuppance, all is right in the world - outside of a couple spelling errors it was perfect - 5 stars, bravo

and the couple of illogical inventions(Steve calling her a whore after he must have seen the emails was odd) couldn't detract from the fine writing and fateful mood projected. Great effort.

Your wife and best male friend doubly so. Loved the tale of retribution and resurection. Well done by an excellent story teller.

As ever, fantastic.

Also the 2 main protagonists from this stories had a working set of ethics. The carnality here was muted purposefully with minimal loss to readability . My chief criticism is that the author doesn't enable the vote feature so I can five star this read. Still the ' Melting' series by P.S. is still one of my all time favs but that only speaks to it's superb qualities. My thanks and envy go out to the author for this work.I'm grateful that both P.S. And previously named author give the mornings food for thought in tandem with pastry and coffee consumption.

And with a particularly nasty and entirely appropriate bit of irreverence for a dead wife!

Keep up the good work! I agree with LordSlamdawgg: "Melting Away" is one of my favorites, too!

This is one of the BEST stories I've read in I don't know how long!Well written, good characters. Bravo! Good Tale!

Great story with a nice ending. Thanks!

Really, just such an incredible command of words and sentences and flow and conveying emotions. Simply beautiful.

Great writing and fine ideas. No problem that first half of the plot came from two centuries ago. It leaves you with a real positive feeling. The wife was really off her game to cheat on her husband with Stephen...

Was there any foreshadowing of this ending in the original text? I guess I will have to root around to see if I can find a copy of the text. If they only have it in German, I will have to turn the clock back fifty years, because I have been only using that language to read texts about chess and chemistry...

PS why don't you want us to vote?

I have to say, if this story is in another category( LW ), it would have generated 5 to 10 times more comments. another great story from PostScriptor. Thank You!

Great story!

Lord I won't do no more...Stevie Ray Vaughan. It's a shame that you can't kill 'em twice. On the other hand, I would rather be married to a witch instead of a bitch. This guy is going to have an interesting life. Karma usually takes care of people like Steve, if you like to wait. I could not wait. Maybe it was witch karma that left the cabinet door open. Good story.

You would have lit up the board, so to speak. You would have ten times the views, at least, and fifty more comments. This was just very well conceived and written. That is rare to see and always a pleasure. Thanks so much for all the work. Well done!

This is one fantastic story where the husband finds out that his wife was cheating on him, a 'Loving Wives' story.

I realize that the story has been updated, and that there were no e-mails back when the original was written. I am assuming that the original would have had letters sealed in a locked box, or something like that. I think you did a great job at updating the original story.

Secondly, the additional part was well written in the same style. This is very hard to do, but you did a fantastic job of maintaining the sytel of the first part. Great Story!

Thats a big fuckin' Bison. Good job.

Excellent job with the story line. He had a big heartache when he discovered those emails. But in the end he got the bigger prize and still got some revenge.

Very nice story; interesting and unusual without being incredible.

PS,

A fitting end masterfully told.

Reap what you sew.

Thanks for sharing on Lit.

Really enjoyed the story and construction. But I would have liked the name of the poet.

So very well told - a truly enjoyable read.

Thank you so much.

He did trade up and fucked his punk ass friend....nice touch.

A very good complete novel. Has all the ingredients for a made for TV movie. TK U MLJ LV NV

Great story.

It seems to me that the protagonist is utterly childish. For example, pissing on his dead wife's grave and similar vengeful behaviour toward her memory is absolutely immature, especially considering how intelligent he supposedly is. After all, at one point they actually did love each other, but love does alter depending on circumstances. Now, taking away his rival's girl friend and the way he did it, that is a stroke of genius.

Remember, current statistics indicate that abour 70% of men and 40% of women are at some time in the marriage unfaithful to their spouses. Outrage at such behavior is pointless and immature and indicates an inability to deal with reality. Neither spouse is the property of the other. Sex does not necessarily have anything to do with love. If it were otherwise there would be no prostitutes, gigolos, or escort services.

The best "revenge" story I've ever read. The best written one too.

Wow, it had it all. Ah, such a delicious treat to read this story. I am still savoring the fantastic aftertaste of your exceptional story, Postscriptor. Thank you.

Agree with other posters should have been in "Loving Wives" for a wider readership.

As far as the husband getting "even" with a his dead cheating wife, I am reminded of the saying "The man got mad at the Mountain, but the Mountain didn't know". However PS had all the husbands actions against the dead wife act as a pressure release valve. The pissing on the grave, etc. allowed the main character to let go of his anger and move on with his better life.

Thanks and well done

for love, honor and togetherness. TK U MLJ LV NV

I would of gave it a 10 out of 5.....bill.....keep writting

Post death finding about of cheating wife & best friend. Well thought out payback. Good story line & charecters.

I enjoyed reading this story, the plot flowed and the revenge was sweet.

I read this story and I wish I had the experience of Kevin. Although pure fiction it was a nice way of getting revenge on the guilty parties, one now pissed on underground and the other broken, as he should be. Someday I'll write my story, but it's not as nice as this.

great story, it would have been interesting if the mom was a witch, and had caused the wife to bump her head, since she new the future

PostScriptor, you did it again with another terrific storyline of creative construction and solidly crafted writing skills.

As for those who take prognostication seriously, here is a very wise saying for you.

"If we could accurately foresee the future, instead of dying by accident or malicious intent, we would all die of boredom!"

Brilliantly devised tale. Five stars. I generally dislike tales where the husband finds out about an affair after the wife's passing. However, this story seemed to transcend that storyline. Yes, there was revenge. But I feel this one was more a romance story with him finally finding his one true love. Very well done.

had a great time,reading that is.

I started the story and almost as quickly thought it was not likely one I wanted to use time on -

I am Oh So Pleased I resisted that impulse - the story was a pure winner - I think I was stuck inn the Eyes Wide Shut reference and that was not what I wanted -

This however was a beautiful story of love and fate and redemption of souls and the price of betrayal. It served justice and even some selfishness to boot.

Nice work - thank you for sharing.

Although it is listed under Loving Wives this is definitely one of the best Romance stories I have read on this site.

Thank you PostScriptor, 5* because there isn't a 10* available

MorganDeWolfe.

Fantastic story

My only complaint is I can't vote on such a fantastic story :)

Had votes been enabled this may have been the highest rated story on Lit.

Two thumbs. Way UP!

About as good as it gets.

Very well told tale, thank you for your superb work.

You have put forth a very well done tale. It was entertaining and creative. I have read some comments that quoted someone that said...."The best revenge is a well lived life." or something like that. I was saddened by the wife's death at the beginning but got over that when she was a cheater. His revenge on his best friend turned out better for him. Thank You.

You should have allowed voting, when you get down to it most stories are derivative in some way or another.

This would have scored well too.

Still five stars. High quality writing.

I miss your posts ! enough said.

You're right - the original left a lot unsaid. You did a masterful job of rectifying that!

Beautiful story, very well written, and I love happy endings. Wish I could have given you 10*. Thank you very much.

good chacter development good read

It was nice of you not to have the ratings at the end of your story. If you had, Literotica would have been forced to add five more stars to this outstanding piece of work messing up their entire rating system. Your character development separates you from the rest of your fellow authors. It was if I had know Kevin and Francesca all my life. Too bad I have know many Steves as well. Thank you for this wonderful story.

Anything I had to say would be an understatement of your wonderful story. Bravo!

that the whore died so peacefully...

5 to offset the asshole of LIT's 1 vote. Hey annony, old ugly fags with ED should be banned from this site. Go suck a cock!

I'm always suspicious of the quality of a marriage, where a spouse can go from loving and loyal to the complete opposite extreme of betraying and cruel, and yet through that metamorphosis the other spouse has no clue. I understand you tried to use their intense and constant work schedule as an excuse for the distance between Kevin and Jessica. Yet obviously Jessica had time to be courted and dated and romanced by Steven, and service him as his slut, for a year. Just seems impossible for Kevin to be so undiscerning as Jessica switched her heart and mind away from him and over to Steven. I must say it also implies that despite being a rocket scientist Jessica was a really stupid and blind person.

But the ultimate irony is that Kevin and Francesca must always be grateful to Jessica and Steven for bringing them together. And in keeping with karmic harmony, Jessica, who was also used and betrayed by Steven, was allowed a merciful painless departure from Kevin's life, while Steven will spend the rest of his life in regret and humiliation. I wonder how often and for how long Steven will be rereading Jessica's emails, allowing that acid to eat away at his heart and mind. Obviously it is a small meal.

Well done. Thank you.

Well written story and well planned out . Great plot and different to other stories written in this genre . Loved the way you got even with Steven . But ! Jessica was dead at thirty . Personally I find it hard to stomach what was done with her burial site and her remains . To me ! That spoiled the story a little bit. . Otherwise great story .

Having sex on her grave and pissing on it was his only possible revenge. His wife was a cheating bitch. If it happened to me, I would have done exactly the same thing but i would go back ever year to piss on her!

:)

Noting your qualms I can only state you have never been so utterly and cruelly not to mention intentionally betrayed.

If not for her despising the thought of cremation and burial, I would have left her corpse naked and exposed on an ant hill in the desert after defecating and urinating on her. I most assuredly would have enlightened everyone she knew about her adultery

Excellent story and writing. Completely satisfying, wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

I second the motion---emotion--whatever. A great piece of writing.

then compare at what you lost, TK U MLJ LV NV no stars mlj

FABULOUS STORY VERY WELL WRITTEN,ONE TO COME BACK TO,THANKS, 5 ⭐️.

I'd have donated her corpse to a med school, 3 to 7 years of her body being cut up and messed with, only for her to be cremated and buried in an unmarked grave when he refused to accept the remains back - ensuring her family could never visit her grave

It’s “Mule Creek Junction”, not “Two Mule Junction”. Been there many times.

... you had left the scoring on so I could give this 5 stars.

Great job.

Good plot, well written, and interesting to read. Give it 5 stars if I could.

Unbelievably great story. There are a few (just a few) idiot commenters who are obviously marriage cheaters who believe that their own sins of cheating should not result retribution such as the hero’s wife received. These commenters are just Cretans. Moving her cremated remains to a remote small grave yard was glorious. And the pissing on her grave the final cherry on the top! These cheaters seem to think that if you really love them, you would look past their minor transgressions (their cheating on their marriages) since it was only “sex” so no harm was done. They have no understanding what this treacherous act did to the hero’s heart and mind. He had given his loving heart to his wife and she just kicked it around and then jumped on it. I truly hope that all these cheaters get the same retribution!

The initial premise of the distraught husband grieving for his young widow was well written and the discovery of her betrayal hidden in the files of her computer was a revelation and it had to be his best friend being the source of his pain. To take his friends fiance was the evil twist of the knife.

5* from me!

I think what i like most about this story is its fiendish simplicity, the only thing i didn't like was the comment of "final revenge" in the proposal. (childish & unnecessary)

Thanks for a grate read.

I usually don’t like revenge plots that involve the MC fucking the wife/gf of the guy who fucked his wife, but this was very well written and didn’t seem at all like revenge, but more a natural process.

Well done!

5*

No stars available to award so here goes with my version. 5stars plus, well written and most enjoyable.89

Thought out, written, and presented. Well Done!

Come to the end and go looking to hit the 5 star and it's not there

Excellent

5 stars

I loved the story. It was compelling and of course well written.

I understood from the beginning it 's rating was turned off.

I learned some new phrases and their meanings, however due to my environment I will not use them and shall soon forget.

Why is a rating so important? You may guess my rating if your wish.

RC

Not bad, although.he was cheated our of his revenge on Jessica. Taking Francesca from Steve eased the pain from the cheating a good bit.

What a sly slut whore to have as his wife and what a hypocritical bastard, to have as a "best friend". Never could understand how blind and dumb, the husbands in these stories are depicted as being!! Enjoyed the story, even if the plot was predictable. 5*s.

Loved it!

anon 2 months ago. The reason, IMNSHO, is because we aren’t cheaters, so we don’t contemplate others cheating. My friends say I’m too trusting, because I don’t lie, I usually believe sob stories, and when I can afford it help people out. Well, I have lied in the past. Yes baby you give great head, no your ass isn’t getting wide, etc. That’s the reason, it’s also why they say set a thief to catch one...

A lovely story, thankyou

Shades of Bob Saget's death.

More than very good. A truly captivating story! 5*!!!

Great story! I wish you had allowed voting.

You elevated the cuckold formula to a work of art!

The fact that she was burned posthumously, helped a lot!

I loved the story, the characters were vivid and real. The dialogue was believable, as we're their reactions.

Bravo.

You should have allowed voting. This was a 6 star masterpiece

Great story- one if the best. Great plot and character development. Wish I could give this 5 stars

A great story! I know the author turned off voting, but 5 stars, anyway!

You know, you wrote a hell of a good story! I almost passed it up and when I got to the dot dot dots, I wanted to quit. You see, some of love to listen to the story by text reader and they don't edit out all those fucking dot dot dots. When I was the Editor in Chief at the Publishing Co. 33 years ago, if I'd read that in a manuscript I'd just toss it into the trash bin. When you can speed read and edit 8 to 10 pages a minute it eventually ruins the eye sight so now I listen to the story. The last one I read was almost as good as yours. The Author must have Majored in Literature classes because it was flawless and zero dot dot dots. I suggest to all Authors to write their stories, load the text file into TextAloud, the best one on the market and listen to it while staying in pace with your text file and correct all the mistakes as you listen to your own story. Other than hiring a proofreader/editor to go over your mistakes, because there will be some, it is your best tool. I loved the story and rate it at 5 BIG ASS FUCKING HUGE FLAMING NOVA STARS! Thank you for an excellent story!

What a great story, loved it.

Jessica got what she deserved an unmarked pissed on grave somewhere in the desert and Steve got what he deserved, the loss of everything he held precious.

Well done!!!

I know you turned off scoring

But this gem scores 5/5 effortlessly

fantastic tale and very well written

Great story. Depressing but also fulfilling

I enjoyed this story so much I had to score it 5 stars from Xluckylee even though you turned off the scoring.

Quite liked this story!! Not quite what I expected as I expected that wife would have been murdered and best friend to be a master villain!!
