Dumb wife

Unfortunately the wife is a moron as well as a slut. Husband says he has to go into work for an emergency, which is well within his job description and she decides that is a reason to fuck someone else? Then come home and rub his face in it? She's an idiot. He's well rid of her and her bitch sister but it was too easy because she's so stupid.

JPB story?

cant be.

ChagrinedChagrinedover 13 years ago
Nawwwww. Can't be!

I have to agree, this can't be a Just Plain Bob story! We love JPB because we hate the storyline. Everyone needs someone to rag on. :-) The writing was rather tight and lucid. But I never said JPB was a bad writer. But the story was so compact and believable.

Who wrote this really??

The Guy refused to lay down and be pissed on.

By the wife or her stupid sister who now has to put up with a Miserable sister after breaking their Marriage up.

Loving wife story?

No likely, just a dark, unhappy story with no plot or reason

How do you do it?

You write stories that piss off so many people, if reading the comments is anything to go by and then you turn it all around. Not only that, but you have mastered the short story genre which is one hell of a feat. And then you call yourself 'Just Plain Bob'.

You must have an interesting, wicked, devious, moral, immoral and kinky mind ... Thank God! Either that or you have an understanding about life, people and relationships that puts mine to shame ... as I've written before ... thanks for writing.

Short and to the point. Looks like another commenter did not like to read about how it turns out most of the time.

Yet another well-written short story by JPB

This gal was lucky to not have been kicked out many years before. She did not know anything about her husband,,,,

One thing thought, it would be nice to see a second chapter. Maybe the divorce with the husband (soon to be ex-) getting revenge on her and her sister.

Your stories are still way too short

I know this is kinda your style. But personally your brevity in the stories is somewhat frustrating and leaves us half full. Pity that I have to go to other writers to read conclusions to your stories! Most cannot write as well as you. Really quite a shame

I don't care how long it was...

It told the story and I cared about him. She screwed up and ended what could once have been a good marriage. For once I liked a JPB story.

Thanks.

jiminabjiminabover 13 years ago
I agree

The story is not too short and was a very enjoyable read. Unfortunatly in the background are the "kids"; only mentioned once but will be again in the future as he has no legal proof. Too bad as although I applaud his decision, it will cost him. Thanks JPB. Top marks. Jim

What a wake up call............

Neat,concise,to the point - WTF ?

As ever in some of these cases - one person is swayed into believing what another person says - without checking !! FFS !!

It's more true than you can believe.......sadly.

SHE chucked their marriage into the garbage - not him.

Thank you for a good but hurtful story.

Old folks are not sexy so I gave it a 1 and stopped reading when I read married 18 years.

Some people are stupid ...

and you can't fix stupid. goes for the wife and commenter who gave it a 1 because it had old people in it, missed a good story and if you are lucky enough you may get to be old people some day.

Not JPB's job!

Following up on a story is not JPB's job. His job description includes not being able to create appropriate endings.

FD45FD45almost 11 years ago
Sort of curious

Exactly what follow up is needed? She cheated. He's divorcing her. She doesn't want to.

So...here is your follow up

"You have been served."

"I don't wanna! I LUVS YOU."

"Good bye my dear!"

"This court finds the divorce decree acceptable. Case ajourned."

Satisfied?

Right what crap he cannot throw her out that's the law.

Sound good but no reality . A divorce will cost him a bundle, 50/50 split , alimony , child support. No way he can get the kids , what she did was wrong but he will get raped by the courts. He really loses in this .

Liked the story

the first time I read it and like it now.

He found out his wife was a cheating slut. It would be one thing to make his life hell because she was angry but to take it as far as she did was totally unacceptable. It was apparent that she used her anger as an excuse to screw around and then had the audacity to think he would just sit and take it.

For the BTB fans, me included, it would have been nice to read about how she tried to correct her "mistake" and how she was made to suffer. The way JPB wrote it we can let our imaginations run wild. For those Reconcile At All Cost fans, they can imagine how the couple came to together and rode off into the sunset as a happy couple. Not likely but that's just me. Don't believe in RAAC.

I would say that they story is finished in spite of some of the comments.

I'm sure that JPB would be glad to refund any monies spent buying his story.

I hope he had a recorder going while she admitted to cheating and planning to do it again!

Tootight1Tootight1almost 9 years ago
2nd read

and I still liked it. I do believe that more retribution is due to all involved though. how can a guy screw up another guys marriage, with the help of a sister-in-law, and all walk away free? not in my book. well written, got me so hot, you don't want to know what I was thinking.

sugnasugnaover 8 years ago
He defined it

"What's to take? You cheated on me, which tells me that our marriage never meant shit to you. Okay, now I know and I can get on with my life."

That is pretty much what cheating says. In this case, they had kids too. It also says that she didn't give a damn about the kids either. With the knowledge that cheating often ends in divorce and if not divorce a shitty marriage, a cheater is really saying:

"I am willing to cause immense pain to my spouse and my children, I am willing to cause financial hardship to my family and adversely effect the outcomes of my kids childhood all for a fuck."

If he stays and does not file for divorce, they all suffer and the kids might do slightly better. They also may not do better being trapped in a miserable family. In any case, the wife fucked everything up. If the world was fair she's simply leave with the shirt on her back. If the courts were fair, the judge would tell her to leave and when the oldest kid was finished with college, she'd get half the house. But the world is not fair, courts like to give kids to cheating sluts, even though it is clear that they really do not give a shit about their kids.

AnonymousAnonymousover 8 years ago
Good read, good reaction to a cheating slut

Her excuse was an all time low. She was pissed? What is she? A five year old with no control over her emotions or her actions? Dave was right. She stayed gone WAY too long if she had any hope of saving her marriage. But that wasn't really on her mind was it? She was pissed so she slept with another man and continued to fuck him in the morning instead of giving any consideration to what problems her actions might have started. Dumb bitch deserves to be divorced. She earned it.

Once again JPB strikes again.

I rarely ever read this dick head because 90% of the time he never finishes a story. The only reason I read this was because it was so short. 2 stars for 2/5ths of a story.

I agree that JPB leaves a lot of stories unfinished, but I think this tale, like the marriage it describes, is "all over bar the shouting."

5 *'s

I like JPB's short to the point style ! There was no violence or even shouting , just a man who could read the tea leaves and have enough sense to get out while the getting was good !

Life is way too short for putting up with shit that you have a modicum of control over . To me that is when a man becomes a man and is no longer a immature kid in a man's world.

What has he got to lose in this scenario ? His wife just did the worst thing that a loving partner in a marriage (man or woman) and then acted as though she was so nonplussed about it that she was going to do it again . Who the hell would want to live with a shrew like that ? He sounds like he has a good job , and he might take a monetary hit for a year or two, but he will overcome this in time, whereas she, unless she marries money , will see her lifestyle spiral downward after a few years.

And as far as female companionship , I doubt he will be without very long. As a very wise uncle once told me when I had my first puppy love heartbreak ;we had went to the hospital together to see my Grandmother after she had surgery and I had been moping around the whole time , he took me down to the room where you view newborns through a window , and he said look there, half of those are girls ! So when one breaks your heart , mourn for one day then go find a replacement because as you can plainly see, they make them every Damn day ! Best advice I've ever gotten in my whole life !

She woke up, and stayed all day with the guy.

No she meant to cheat, maybe along has been. Her anger just made her let him know.

Oil change

Seems in the old USA, every other story, some guy goes out and does an oil change? In Europe that's something our cars only need every two or three years or so. Are yank cars different? Hang on a minute ....... This is a JPB thing isn't it. He must have a weird collection of cars.

@ britease

My car gets an oil change every 5,000 miles or three months, whichever comes first. Every time it is the 5,000 miles.

AnonymousAnonymousover 6 years ago
Women's Logic

Women get mad when they think they husband isn't listening to them; but it has been my experience that wives don't even pretend to listen. And when women get an idea in their head, no evidence is enough to change their minds. And 18 hours with a man she has just met can totally destroy years of life with a loving husband. Even her children are of no importance. Cheating wives don't just destroy husbands and marriages; they destroy children as well.

Decisions

Diane put David in a situation with few choices. If she stayed after being humiliated by wife and sister in law, there would be no respect in marriage. Diane didn't come home remorseful but bragging about multiple times having sex over an 18 hour span and came home sober without a hangover. She had to be pretty dumb to wait till almost dark the next day to come home talking about getting nailed again. I normally like reconciliation but wife trying to humiliate husband after acting like a slut at her sister's home, is to much for most guys .

Not going to give it full mark, 'cause the character development and motivation is nonsense, but, then again... it's a flash story.

A Nice,Flash BTB Story BUT...

This story has mores holes in it than aged swiss cheese has! ~ First,since the couple has only been married for 18 years,the 3 children are all at home and in school still so it's unlikely that Diane is going to do anything to risk hurting them. Secondly,unless she has concrete proof that her husband is cheating,is she really going to fuck another guy and then rub it in hubby's face?!After knowing him for well more than 18 years doesn't she have a clue that he's not going to accept being made a cuck?! And finally,with 3 under 18 children,she's gonna get custody and the house so why would she leave?
