5 STARS
All your stories so far rated over 4 stars and I can see why after reading this one. Good read. There are a handful of readers who didn't like this, but then seeing who they are it's understandable. No swinging and humiliation or willing cuckolds in this tale. Keep up the good work. You write them, we'll read them. (ML)
re: anonymous- I hate fucking lazy authors
What crawled up your ass and died. Look asshole, it's a free site, you don't have to pay to read these stories. Don't like the authors, not happy with their grammar, etc. don't read them. Where are your stories? Yeah, that's what I thought. You don't have any. Good story author. 5 stars and yes I'm not all that picky about the quality. It's the story that counts. In case you don't know it anon, there aren't any professional editors on this site. Nobody gets paid to edit stories. Nobody gets paid to write them either. Ever try to write one. Try it sometime, see how well you'll fare.
Sorry author for rambling, sometimes these readers just raise my hackles.
Of course the kids sided with the wife inititally
The husband was the one who filed for divorce and refused to allow the separation so his wife could "explore her thoughts further," then refused her demand for counseling. It was only after he sat down with them and explained to them what she had done that they understood why he had decided to file and why her demanding counseling was absurd when she was the one who had destroyed the marriage.
The truth will set you free.....
but first it will piss you off. I enjoyed your story, no winners, everyone loses and no happy ending, just reality.
Nice
The terseness fit the narrator's character. For once, HIV was spot on--I, too, would have liked more info on hubbie's efforts. Substantively, a sad story if realistic. Counseling probably could have helped this couple. Perhaps hubbie was too emotionally exhausted at that point, or perhaps he was an unforgiving tyrant--another place where more background would be nice. All in all, though, a worthy submission.
Good Story
This one is worth fleshing out a bit.
I loved your comment, "Sarah you are one bubble off plumb"
The ending was also well done.
1) He doesn't end up owning the bank Dan worked for because they didn't enforce their morality clause, which is meant to protect the bank. Really, there are stories out there that did that. This one is believable.
2) The divorce ended up hurting both, as happens in real life.
3) He didn't hook up with Dan's wife.
He isn't portrayed as an angel here on earth but a normal guy wanting to work on his marriage.
Thanks!
Excellent
Good read. I'm not going to pick it apart for the sake of whining like some do. I read for entertainment and this story did just that. I'm lucky to just be able to find something worthwhile reading in this category anymore, seeing that the majority of stories don't do it for me emotionally or erotically. The good writers must have flown south, wonder why? 5 Stars
if you are so intent to be unhappy about the divorce
remarry the wacko woman,,and be unhappy sleeping with someone at least
quit be being a wimp.
2 stars
Nicely written
Powerful and well-expressed. The tone was appropriate for the subject matter and conveyed the emotion.

I haven't read the story yet; just the introduction
And it doesn't look good at this point. Were you dropped on your head as an infant? An open marriage falls into the same boat as gay(I really hate to abuse a perfectly good word) marriage. It isn't one. A marriage is the union of a husband and wife in Holy Matrimony and the limitations of that union are spelled out in the Wedding Vows. Think real hard now. Which Wedding Vow could conceivably have an impact on the premise of an open marriage? All right, let me help you; does the forsake all others clause ring a bell? That's right; you can't bring someone else into your marriage because... Anybody? Come on; don't make me spell it out for you. Oh all right; you wouldn't be forsaking all others. There, got it now?
Read the story now and
Your story is certainly at odds with your introduction, and better than I expected. I liked the way he treated Sarah; but Don should have got his as well.
miserable
I saw your point initially, but I definately would not have stayed miserable by choice.

are written in stone and are probably part of the Lost Commandment Tablets. TK U MLJ LV NV
nice !!!!!!
I liked it. finally a real man doing what needed to be done and for all the right reasons. some women think that because someone that loves them, are the very person who they think they can shit on and he is suppose to what ? forgive and forget bullshit. they seem to want their cake and eat it too, to fucking bad for her or any other women like this one. great fucking job, and if this is something that has happened to you well, kuddos to you for the way you handled it.
In my opinion...
TCct, I admire your writing skills and how well you moved this plot along.
I completely disagree with your assumptions but your conclusion was powerful in its Pyrrhic finality.
Damn
Stupid woman. You know why she asked for a separation from her husband? To fuck her aspiring new lover. He knew it. It's fucking obvious. You know why she didn't? Because she's FUCKING STUPID.
As all cheaters
not much of a story
maybe if you included what went on the last couple of years i would understand. he just decides to divorce his wife. why did he wait, he knew what was going on. why didnt he fight harder in the beginning. he must not have loved her in the first place. if i found out that my girl was being overly friendly with a guy friend i woundnt wait until she asks for a separation. i would go after the asshole trying to ruin my relationship. if that hurt more at least i would go down fighting. not just walk away.
Stupid Slut
“Dan is a friend, a willing listener and sounding board who has been nothing but kind, considerate and helpful. He is someone I can count on. He understands me, appreciates me and doesn't judge me."
Of COURSE he is! How better to get into her pants!
YOU OMITTED ONE SENTENCE AT THE END
and then you die. TK U MLJ LV NV
Excellent Writing
But you have me worried by your tendency to only deal with divorce. Try writing something else for your own good.
I agree completely with KarenE
He just wanted into her pants. And Sarah was an easy mark...the unsatisfied wife that puts her husband down, instead of fixing what is wrong. I've read this before, but it was worth reading it again. 5 *'s Not every story on here has to have sex in it. It's about relationships, not sex.
John Wayne said it best
life is hard, it's even harder when you are stupid. I guess Sarah never heard that or she was too stupid to pay it any mind.
Further Thought
"Sarah sent me a nasty note demanding to know why I had just given up on our marriage and hadn't fought for her."
Why should a husband have to "fight" for his wife? If she is tempted to stray, then SHE should fight for THEIR marriage and talk to her husband and try to work on whatever problems they may be having.
If they honestly can't work things out THEN they should separate and/or divorce, and THEN she can explore her "feelings" with Dan or whoever.
Good story, great writing!
My own wife wanted to a separation too. She had become emotionally involved with a coworker and pulled away so fast, I had trouble remembering she was my wife. After our kids graduated from HS, she went back to college, finished her own degree and started teaching. Within 5 years she was not the woman I remembered. She was always confident but she became abrasive and mean. Not a shrew, but very close.
Like John, I wasn't willing to live with it. So after agreeing to a separation, I began to move out. What I mean to say, is when Karen moved to an apartment close to the school, I began to move out of our long time home. It took only one time of sitting a block over with a pair of binoculars while watching her place to realize I no longer wanted to be married to this stranger. The catalyst was watching her open the door for a coworker, watching their silhouette in her bedroom and then the kiss she gave him when he left four hours later.
Living in Northern Michigan, I decided to move south. I always liked Florida and its fishing so after checking online and talking with a real estate broker, I had a small home rented and already waiting for me. I rented a moving van and over the course of a week I loaded everything I wanted of our life. No pictures of her and I, just of my kids and me. Our wedding pictures I burned and those hanging on our walls, I cut myself out of before replacing them. She killed our marriage, I was just burying it.
It took me a week before I had the van loaded. I had a trailer that I was going to use to tow my jeep behind me. It caught me off guard, the day before I planned to leave, when all the sudden my 'estranged' wife was pounding on the door. When she moved out, I made sure she gave me her house keys, so she couldn't get in. I didn't answer the door so she eventually stopped pounding and left. Then my cell phone and the house phone began to ring, nonstop, until I turned them both off.
Moving my moving day up by a few hours, after making certain she was no longer nearby, I loaded the last of my gear in the van and hooked up the trailer and prepared to leave. I took a nap, the last time I would sleep in that bed, to make sure I was rested enough to begin my journey. I'd planned to leave at 6 a.m. but instead, moved it up to midnight. Yep, I was going to flee town in the middle of the night! After a last look around, I left the doors unlocked and simply left. Thankfully, I missed everyone, apparently the next morning my wife along with our kids, unfortunately, stopped to see what was happening, exactly.
I say unfortunately because after I saw my wife was cheating, I contacted a buddy who was in the surveillance industry and he got me the pictures I needed. Those most graphic were laid out on the table with my ring in the middle and it was my daughter who found them. My son said she was hysterical and my wife became nearly incoherent when she saw what I'd left. They all went through the house and saw I'd taken everything that was mine and Chad, my son, said my wife was speechless when she saw what I did to the photos that were on the wall.
It didn't take me long to settle in. My new digs were just a tiny bungalow with one bedroom, a small bath and the rest was open. I had room to put my boat (and I bought one quickly!) in the small garage and a view of the beach. I'd quit my job, sort of, my boss agreed to let me continue working, albeit online for less than 1/2 of what I made previously. It wouldn't take much for me to live on so that was fine. I'd taken exactly one penny less than 50% of our savings and checking and had the paperwork to back it up. Of course, I didn't deposit any of my final paycheck so that helped. Especially as I brought home over 15K per month.
I didn't contact anyone for a full year. Then on the one year anniversary, I called my daughter. She was so angry she hung up on me so I shrugged and called my son. He was angry too but was willing to listen. It didn't take long and he understood and agreed to talk to his sister on my behalf. I learned from him, my ex wife and daughter didn't talk at all, Juliette refused to speak with her when it became apparent who'd ruined our marriage. I left my phone number with Chad and it was within the hour that Juliette called me back, apologizing profusely.
A week later, both the kids were at my place. It was terribly emotional and rather than spend the planned night, they stayed for a week. Juliette took my bedroom while Chad and I took the couches. From them I learned my ex was devastated when she saw what I'd done. More than anything, it was the destruction of our wedding album that forced her to understand. She moved back in to our old place immediately and almost lost it because she couldn't afford the mortgage. My kids moved back in with her and they were helping with the bills. As near as they could tell, their mother didn't date, she went to work and came home immediately, never leaving the house until it was time for work again. With Juliette not speaking to her, she was beginning to hit the bottle.
We had a great time and they promised to come see me as often as they could. Going to college, neither had any money so I sent them all I could, along with occasional tickets to fly down. I spend my time on the water or working online, taking no interest at all in women. Not even my hand had much of a workout.
Imagine my surprise when I opened the door one glorious morning, to find my ex sitting on my doorstep at 5 am. Man, the two years hadn't been kind to her. Where she had been a few pounds overweight most of our marriage, she looked like a cadaver. In this case, a drunken cadaver. I damn near slammed the door in her face when I finally recognized her voice but relented just to get it over with. I let her know I was going fishing and she was welcome to come or she could wait on the front porch until I returned. Allie didn't give it a thought and agreed to come with me, if I would let her use my bathroom and get her something to eat before we left.
After a quick shower and bathroom time, I had a couple breakfast burrito's ready. We left and headed out on to the Gulf and I fished. And listen to her talk. She readily admitted to cheating. She swore it was only the once until I told her of other times I was aware of. Then she came clean. When she saw the moving van in our driveway, she said she freaked out. And when it was gone the next morning and the house was left unlocked, she knew how bad she'd fucked up. Swearing they had not had sex until she moved out, I asked her (dryly), how that worked out! She spent most of the days in tears and was still crying when we pulled back in to my house, calming down only by the time the fish I'd caught was BBQ'ed and ready to eat with some steamed asparagus.
I couldn't throw her out and agreed to let her stay for a couple days. She wanted to explain, even though I told her I had no interest. It was surprising, she didn't blame anyone but her own. I have to admit I felt good when I found that the pictures I sent to her lovers home ended with him being divorced. He'd wanted to move in with her but she refused. She swore she'd not had a man in her life since she found out I'd left.
I let her sleep on my couch. It was odd having her around and after a couple days it seemed almost like it used to be. Except I felt nothing for her, other than pity. I think she understood that after the next few weeks. I refused to touch her, not even allowing her to touch my hand. She looked sad, like a little puppy, so I allowed her to stay on my couch. A few nights I didn't come home, I had a fuck buddy that I spent the night with and when I did the walk of shame the following mornings, I was met with a very sad woman. She never said a word though, it wasn't her place to complain.
Now, a year later, she still sleeps on my couch. She hasn't been welcomed into my bed, nor will she. Perhaps she's holding out hope, but I keep telling her, we ain't ever happening again. Thankfully, she's stopped drinking and regained weight so perhaps some feller will take her off of my hands someday...sigh...
Dark dismal noire story
This is not enjoyable to read about. No win has a plight toward winner mg outcomes are ridiculous. This isn't a reality based section to write in per se. I would be lying if I saw hope in this story. I'm sorry I wasted my good time reading it. It was well written but it was bull. I guess I haven't a clue what motivated writing such a story but it wasn't my cup of tea. Thank you for your effort.
