Butterfingers

Enjoyable so far. Gonna have to disagree with ya Harry. The guy is a wuss but honestly, its not that far off from normal marriages these days where if you don't give in, expect a restraining order and a divorce decree if not outright arrest for DV.

Wrong, but ...

Giving in too much and for so long is wrong indeed. But when love is involved, not all is logic. But one can only take as much as one can. His breaking point is near and if he is strong enough he will do the obvious : walk out like father-in-law did, since he clearly is not strong enough to counter his "monster-in-law". G.Belgium.

Strangely Enough

I have to agree with Harry. KK writes extremely well and

I always read his story, but I have to admit that they

follow a pattern of weakness on the husband's part in moments

of confrontation. Here the monster-in-law is overpowering

everyone.

Let me get this straight....

He: <p>

(1). Allowed a DIVORCED mother in law and her son to move in with him and his wife, however "temporarily," it doesn't matter, because his wife gives him the looks, whenever he brings up the subject, so he stops after a while... <p>

(2). Allowed the mother in law to, OUT OF THE BLUE, threw all his and his wife's lame/fake and cheap-looking furnition away, REPLACED everything with hers.... <p>

A cool stare from his wife, and he thought, "I can't win, do I'll choose another battle" and ambled off... <p>

(3). Allowed the bastard kid (of course, Mr. Butterhead doesn't know at this point, the kid's a bastard and acts like one, because all these months, he and his wife NEGLECTS to make contacts with the evil man/husband who had ran out on Mr. Butterhead's wife's mother and her little cute brother) to use Mr. Butterhead's CREIDIT card to order guitar and equipment and rock the house for hours on end... <p>

Simply because the mother in law said: "Im sure he did not mean to use it without asking you first. You was probably just busy. Give my good son a break, okay? He is a good boy, and he misses that loser bastard father of his, who did not own up to his family responsibility and obligations, when he skipped out on us, leaving us broke, with me too traumatized to go back to teaching..." <p>

Mr. Butterhead wanted to argue me, he said, but a hard stare from his beloved wife, and he thought maybe the credit card usage was no big deal after all, like the mother in law said, even if Mr. Butterhead didn't like it that much. <p>

(4). Allowed the mother in law to GO OUT AND LOOK FOR A $700,000 HOME to replace their small, dilapidated one. <p>

No, truth be told, he did NOT allow it but since both the mother in law and his wife thought Mr. Butterheadd's wife needed that house, which show status, prestige, etc., etc., it had to be done. <p>

Yeah, it didn't help his case, when the investigative mother in law told her daughter how Mr. Butterhead had been saving a bit on the side; and that if he CASHED that, he'd have almost enough to, after the price the got from their old house, to put down as payment on the little up-start mansion, BY THE COUNTRY CLUB. <p>

(5) Allowed the mother in law to go head and make him pay for some $10,000 country-club member fees... after a few heated words and another cool look from the wifey.... <p>

(6). Allowed the mother in law to tell Mr. Butterhead that her daughter's aging, 1990's Toyota was NOT befitting of a woman of her importance, beauty, and asset to the family... And she needed a LEXUS (to which her daughter would allow her to drive hundreds to miles round trip to sleep with her lover, who gave her her little darling boy, who is now, accroding to Mr. Butterhead, terrorizing him, day and night, with laziness and guitar noise).... <p>

(7) Allowed the mother in law to sweek talk go Juan or Carlos or whoever at the country club to play tennis with Mr. Butterhead's wife.... allow her to call the tennis instructor --- who is, by the way, recently divorce and in need of a gentle woman's shoulder to cry on now and then --- to come OVER TO Mr. Butterhead's little mansion, when he's at work, and to swim and giggle with the little wifey, whether the mother in law was with them or driven out, in the new Lexus, to be with her lover.... <p>

(8). Allowed the mother in law to dictate who is welcome or not welcome in Mr. Butterhead's home, at what time, or under whatever circumstances. <p>

Well, to be honest, Mr. Butterhead did not like that at all, like all of the above-mentioned things.... but with a cool stare from the little wifey, he thought this was another losing battle.... so he simple tolerate Mr. Tennis player's almost daily excursion to their place, to sit and iddle with the wife, as Mr. Butterhead out working in a stressful environment, with no chance of advancing out of the proposal writing department, with him being constantly called Mr. Butterhead, by the immediate supervisor.... <p>

(9) Allowed the mother in law to run all other aspect of his home, life, and daily activities and thoughts.... <p>

And after ALL THESE, one day he had a plan and he said, "Okay, we gotta have a meeting tonight...all ought to be there, 'cuz I think it's important... I've come to a very important decision.... you will all hear tonight at 8, okay?" and then that night, told them he had PACKED his stuff and was leaving his loving wife, her mother, and the kid in the old mansion.... saying, <p>

"Okay, dear beloved wife... I've had with you and your mother in law; I can't take it any more. I am leaving. If you love me, you demand your mother and your brother get out right now. By the way, as an aside, did you know that I KNOW THAT you've been visiting some lovers, using your Lexus, these past months?... Anyway, I you love me, dear wife, you stop driving to your lover, make a confession, and kick your brother and mother out.... Otherwise, I have quit my job and I can't make payments for this country club place any more, okay?" <p>

"What the fuc...are you talking bout, Buttterhead," both wife and mother in law shouted. He jumped! Then he marshalled all reserves he had left and said, "Wife, I went and spoke to your dad... You know what he told me? That your brother was fathered by another man, a man your mother's been seeing for ages and ages..." <p>

The mother in law, by now, is crying quietly, of course. So, Mr. Butterhead's wife came to her mother defense: "You ugly, ugly bastard... How could you say such a thing to my mother and brother?" and so the idiot said, "Okay, I'm just relayint to you what your father said... Anyway, I am all packed. See you. If you change you mind, call me, okay, dear wife?" <p>

If this were a real man and if I were to have a gun, I would shoot his son of a bitch dead long before he was born. Yeah, all these times, HE PUT HIS OWN mother, the brain-injured Kate in some mental institution and only visited her once in a while! This man deserved to be hanged!

Wimp

I thought at the start of this story, at last a real man, but he has become another WIMP turned to melted butter, just like his name.

Well you have to admit you let him become

totally owned by the mother in law and the bastard, not really Harold's child, or didnt you catch that? Megan is playing him just as her mom has programmed her to do. He really should have laid down the law when the mother in law had all their financial records. Little bastard didnt need the credit card with the credit card statements there, all he needed was on them. Actually it is quite easy to put the noise makers back in boxes and return to the dealer. So what if he finds the wife is cheating, the divorce will eat him up, and he wont divorce anyway, he will continue to cry in his mash. You painted the story of a real pansy.

AnonymousAnonymousabout 16 years ago
Not normally one to say this...

but the lead character is unbelievably soft. No man or woman should have that much power in a marriage that he or she controls everything. Having stated that, Warren needs to take charge. The dragon's got the reins...

Awful

I never though I'd say this about a K.K. story, but this one is terrible. I finally gave up and stopped reading it. It is just so unreal. Stories should be entertaining. This one is very well written, but the theme stinks. I read half of this chapter because I wanted to know how it ends, but I just can not stick with it. It is a waste of my time. Sorry, K.K., but I've removed your name from my list of Best Authors.

Not Weak Man

I love this Butter guy. Hard working and self denying due to love for his wife. He works hard at a job he hates. Puts up with a wicked mother-in-law and a shitty teenager for love of his wife.

Yes he allows himself to be walked over and to be forced to deny himself. For love he chose to comply. But, we know that this is but training and a learning experience for his next wife who will benefit from Butter's past experiences. He will be a stronger man, tempered by the fires of betrayal.

Pity Megan's next husband. Hopefully Carl. Carl deserves her and her family if he has an affair with Megan.

Divorce was the only option long ago

Yuck. Senor Butterman is a complete wimp...........

There is no reason he shouldn't have put his foot down within 6 months of Trish the Witch moving in and saying "Either she moves out tomorrow, or I file for divorce." Because all that woman has done is try her best to ruin him. He's been passive to an extent I can't believe and no matter how well the next chapters are written I will never believe that Megan loves Warren enough to heal the rift in their marriage created by allowing the mother-in-law to move in and live there.............

The writing is great, but the main character is like something out of a cartoon, which just ruins it for me. Sorry.

WIMP

K.K., I never thought you would write such a pitiful WIMP husband story. He is so weak. At least you are portraying a man with no guts. Now he should know why Trish's husband left her penniless. She spent al of one man's money and is well on the way to destroying another man and his marriage. Sorry but I couldn't read all your story, just skim throug as I can't stand such wimipy guys. What ever he does now will be totally out of character for him.

Your writing is excellent. The subject is pitiful and painful.

AnonymousAnonymousabout 16 years ago
Please not another WIPM

I love your writing abilities and your story but the wimpy nature you have allowed this guy to become is putrid. You have allowed him to wimp out so many times that when the divorce comes and he looses everything it wont even be a suprise. Your a great writer please dont end this one the way it appears to be going.

AnonymousAnonymousabout 16 years ago
plot development

Many seem to think this is a wimp story. I don't think so. I am seeing K.K.'s development of the story related to Warren's wife and his home life. The work aspect of Warren's life has yet to begin to be developed. I can't wait for chapter 3. RAG

Good to see

That a character actually thinks things through before acting. Glad someone still knows how to write a good story. We shall see where this one goes, bet it's not a wimp story!

KK -- Your story keeps getting better. Congratulations; and don't let those idiotic comments by a number of nincompoops disturb you. They are as knowledgeable of good writing as is a load of bovine feces.

always the same crap

once again, the husband must just continue to let his wife fuck another guy, because, oh my gosh golly "I don't have evidence", "I'm far too stupid to actually be able to catch my wife fucking around on me", "I'll just have to let it continue"... really, why do all you weak authors write this crap? There isn't a single fucking guy on this entire planet that has ever done this... so why are there hundreds of stories on this site where the husband pretends he doesn't know or care, pretends he needs to get proof. What fucking horse shit!

Well Done K.K

I Hope Megan thinks hard about what she is doing to her marriage because she is as Blind as a Bat when it comes to Trish and her trouble making and breaking up there marriage I also think that Megan is`nt driving the car her mom is using it and making Butter think that Megan is driving to see Treadwell. I hope there`s another chapter soon.

Suspenseful "whorror" is she a slut or not? Is he a wimp or not? Anticipating chapter 3 with baited breath.

More like a fairy tale (not in a good way)

From somewhat of a normal guy to an incredibly submissive and lame wimp yes-man, slaving to fulfill any whim of the dragon mother in law and her puppet daughter. To say that the changes in the characters are handled in a heavy handed way and awkwardly would be a euphemism. Worse, it’s not just a matter of style. I just could not buy the premise that people can change so drastically -so quickly and so unpredictably. It felt more like someone put a bad spell on everyone, In and indeed the dynamics between the characters felt more like those you can find in a fairy tale. The husband is like a male incarnate of Cinderella and his wife and her mother are the evil mother and sisters in law of Cinderella. Now, hubby- Cinderella is a slave but only due to a gender transformation which unbeknown to us had taken place between chapter 1 and 2. Overall, the plot line covered in this chapter was highly incredible, and following the first chapter it turned out to be a very disappointing experience.

The problem with the story is he is so dumb.

Based on his education he shouldn't be so dumb. Even if in the unlikely event he didn't know about GPS tracking, he would have the money to hire an investigator or tell Megan When he would arrive home and go investigate much sooner.

AnonymousAnonymousabout 12 years ago
Seriously?

I'm supposed to believe that this guy can be that much of a pussy, that stupid, and that willing to have everyone in his life walk on him like this? That requires too much suspension of disbelief for me.

On the other hand, I'm so sucked into this melodrama that I want to slap the shit out of all of these people, him included. So I guess the author achieved his goal. Even though I hate it, I'm heading to the next chapter.

The suspense is incredible. I can't wait to see what is really up with Megan. Five stars.

Butter should be nominated for Saint Hood

He not only lets the truck run over him but gets back up so it can knock him back down in reverse. Trish needs to be tied up naked on an ant hill and covered in corn syrup and forgotten. But it sure is good writing. 5*. And they need a tow truck to pull the wifes head out of her ass.

Eventually

I keep wondering when you will have Warren grow at least 1/2 a ball. Everyone walks over him in both his personal and professional life. And you'd think with the money he would have tracked down Harold and find out what really happened.

Finally he takes action. Still five stars. Still love it.

got only half way thru the first page second chapter

This writer is obviously a cock sucking wimp the anger this story brings to any sane reader makes you question the intestinal fortitude of the main character this is a pathetic piece of garbage and should have a warning at the beginning telling readers what trash it contains.

Grow a pair

Where's the man in this family?

I think he waited 'till too late in the game to decide he was man and not a mouse. Any man that lets other people push him around that much deserves what's coming. Bring the pain...

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 7 years ago
Warren Batterfield made a mistake when he put his wife's family ahead of his mother who can not live on her own...

... There is no causal connection, it goes without saying. He had best intentions all along. However human experience in general & Classical Greek Drama in particular teach us that there are sins we are never pardoned for.

It is good that he is selfless... to a point. It is nice to be good & devoted & (yes!) selfless. It is NOT GOOD to be a doormat

Ib_SaysIb_Saysover 6 years ago

A lot of trouble of his own making.

I hope Warren will grow a spine at some point, if he had been better at saying no, then there would have been no problems.

Hopefully he will throw the wicked witch and her spawn out.

A shame that there never was a follow up to the initial coolness between Trish and Harold, my guess is that Trish cheated or something.

AnonymousAnonymousover 6 years ago

I had to stop reading at the end of chapter 7 just to throw this in, then I’ll go back to reading. Warren’s life just got flushed down the toilet the minute he let his MIL push him into selling “His” house and buying one for “All” of the family, coincidentally, one that MIL picked out. What a fucking wimp loser.

Gave Up

I remember now why i gave up on this story the first time, it's not plausible. Warren has it tough growing up with ill Mother and stands up for himself. by the end of chapter one he has a complete change of character and it gets worse in chapter two. Does not work for me. Excellent beginning but dies.

Boring story. No respect for him.

This is the same thing happening over and over. We get it. He's pussy whipped. I can't believe he puts up with this shit.

Though it looks like he's finally growing some balls. I know from personal experience I wouldn't have put up with a tenth of the shit he has.

bobareenobobareenoover 3 years ago

The protagonist, Warren, is a complete worm. Trish has the brains of a flea and he can't outthink her, not even once. Even the 15 year old can outmaneuver Warren. Makes this hard to read, as it is hard to empathize with the main character.

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 3 years ago

What a wimp. He should have put his foot down early on .now has lost all control and his marriage is shit

johsunjohsunover 2 years ago

Interesting story, but I can now see why Harold left Trish, I bet he didn't really go out of business, just sold the assets and ran off. Warren needs to grow a pair and tell Trish to get out now. He's kind of pussy whipped in a bad way. If he suspects his wife, he should lay down the law, get rid of Trish or get a divorce. Or better yet, learn what it's like when a husband takes all the money and disappears.
