people, hdk is back!! short, sweet, direct to the point. reminds me of dortorwyldcard's "standoff". no chapter2's pls.
She didn't know what hit her. Now if I could just do that to my husband...lol.
HDK, once again you showd us that you are the master of revenge. Very nicely written and loads of fun.
Enjoyed this short romp. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your next. Thanks.
Very good, Now I know why your stories are one of my favorite. Very well written, need no second part, Brandy what a dumb women..... loved the story
And she was well and truly fucked!
Great job! Just one question - did you buy a new vacuum cleaner?
Damn Paybacks are Hell. This one is a homerun. Loved it, your imagination had to be in overdrive. Thanks
For a while when I hit your "It was just golf, nothing personal" line. I started laughing so hard my eyes teared up to much to read the screen for a while.
just one little trip to the woodshed, and to think, some people don’t believe in corporal punishment. Alright Blue88, your turn. A fantastic story and a fan always.
A great story. It could be called 'A Lesson Learned' I think.
There are lies and then, there are lies.
I was sure something was up when he quit paying attention to her orders. And he never even let the promotion dinner cross his mind!! Would have loved to have known HOW he knew, though.
Too bad. 24 years down the drain.
Where does the title come into play?
Good conception, well executed. Reads like it was fun to write.
Great story HDK. Thing is she never had enough sense to ever pick up on exactly what he was saying to her or even seem concerned about.
Nice lean story. Stan didn't come off too wellat the beginning but everything made sense at the end.

I know you were trying to tie the empty chair at the banquet and the empty recliner together, but I think you could have used a stronger metaphor there--it did not have the punch the TV did, or the fact of his using her actions against her. As in most cases, she did not realize what he was doing. Most liers believe others lie as well.
I loved the line of her suffering because of the names her father called her. As if that momentary embaresment would make up for all she had done. People like her expect a bandaid to fix a sucking-chest wound.
Good job--tight, clean, well plotted

And it didn't spoil a thing. I was grinning by the time he got home from the golf game. I was laughing after the TV arguement. And when she came home spouting the same things he had already said to her I was in hysterics. A wonderful story my friend.
Patti
but I kind of guess she was cheating on him, after he bought the big screen TV.
Short, sweet and gets all the things done.
wow
I loved the reversal and 'parodies' of the normal 'oh I am so sorry' excuses...
There is a saying about gettting enough rope and soething about hanging isn;t there?
Thanks HDK!
I love the humorous bent in your stories. This is a good example of that. Keep up the good writing.

He's an asshole who didn't give a fuck about her feelings at all. She's better off without him.
Wrong category, obviously humor and satire. Also, no sex.
Aside from that it was very funny, if rather ham handed and obvious.
She said she was sorry for her affair, but in reality she was sorry that she got caught. Well, she screwed herself to the top at work and she screwed herself to the bottom with her parents and her husband.
... on your stories, and this story was "VERY" good. I laughed so hard I couldn't stand it.
Of course I figured it out about 50% of the way through the story, but that didn't keep me from enjoying it any less though. My god it was good.
Nice story!!
Excellent! I'm still smiling, even though there is a sad element to the finale.
I don't even claim to be on the same level as patricia51 but I had you figured out early on in this one to. Don't matter though. Still enjoyed it.
She should send this creepy child back to his mommy until he becomes an adult.
Keep writing. I always look for your stuff. The folks that zeroed you out just don't get it, calling Stan a jerk.
I am amazed that you can write such a short but powerful story. You make the point so clear that it is not the number of years you are married it is how you treat each other. It is clear by the wife's behavior that the husband had loved and cherished her for years but she rewarded him with infidelity and disrespect.
I love forward to your next story.

I just read it again - you know how home made chilli and soup taste better the second day well some stories are that way.
You are enveloped in the flow and action trying to anticipate - you see it coming and it still feels good -perhaps even better the second time. That was some fine vittles my friend. Say couldja wouldja - another serving from your menu - soon please.
With Appreciation and with High Regard
and very well written HDK! I guessed the end when he came back from golf, but like Patti said it didn't spoil a thing! Keep up the great work.
As is usual, this was a fantastic story. Like Patti, I laughed all the way through.
See, sometimes you do write some good ones.
I'm a big fan of yours, but this was not one of your better ones. Condescending, arrogant husband and unfaithful, bitchy wife. Not much to choose between the two. the Ct Yankee
To anonymous in the real world, are you really that stupid. The husband obviously knew that his wife was cheating, thats why he was acting that way. The wife was a damn whore and the husband is better off without her.
That was a wonderfully clever and well written story. I find myself constantly amazed by creative people. There is something awe inspiring about the product of a creative mind.
I have e-mailed you before with positive comments. What a relief it is to read about cheating wives instead of only about cheating husbands/men; after all there has to be a wife/woman for the husbands/men to cheat with. I enjoy reading your stories written from the other perspective and look forward to each new submission. After so much publicity making men look like scum it is refreshing to show women can be just as bad. Thanks so much for you submissins; please continue to share your writing skills with us.

You have a gift with wirds. You madw the turn about very evident and justified. There is no doubt as to the logic used in this plot. Another "Well done!".
Thank you for sharing this with us
Kind of like "18 holes of golf" (another story in Loving Wives) but better, I really got a laugh out of it.
As a parody on the cheating wives genre it is hilarious. The contrasted positioning of the husband: calm (on the outside) and scheming vs. his mindless wife: loud dumb and of course sluttish to the core, makes for great comic effects. Then we see the husband carefully drawing a parable to her sinful acts, only it’s a practical parable, in which actions and props are better than words. It also has a bonus (for the husband)- he gets to give his wife a prolonged punishment: First, the embarrassment of the banquet, then the huge T.V set. All this time she recites, chapter and verse, the words that he would soon quote back to her. It could only work of course in a comical parody mode, with a cartoonishly dumb wife to play her part, but as such, it made me roar with laughter!
There's nothing more to be said
HDK please keep them cuming.
Sorry my spelling again, I mean Coming.

Sheer genius, applying all the tired clichés overused by cheating spouses, to another other form of transgression. It emphasizes out how ludicrous they really are. You'd think that authors would realize that they sound just as believable when used by the cheaters, but they still pop up in story after story.
And you have done your typically excellent job of weaving this flash of insight into a vastly entertaining story. Kudos.
HDK, you amaze me. Your stories cover a wide range of topics, in a number of different ways, but they are always great. I can't offer anything except my continued thanks and the hope that you will keep it up.
They are the only ones who didn't enjoy this tale. I assumed the husband was tipped off by the other guy's wife to what was going on, and as a previous poster noted, you can tell by the wife's behavior that the lead had been a decent guy that had finally got punched in the mouth.
Great Read!
And it makes it very readable story.
Actually quite funny... I agree, this should be in Humor/Satire!
DJ
WOW. i have to say im really impressed by your stories.
your wit does differentiate you from the other good authors here in LE.
HDK has done it at last, a husband with a spine! The usual unique twist to dealing with a cheating spouse, a nice spot of revenge, and finally - at long last - a happy ending! (zed)
Bravo!
Now that was an intelligently formulated and very witty story.
A revenge story beyond question, but that happens from time to time doesn’t it?
Still, there was no murder and mayhem, no Hollywood dramatics, just simple and civil revenge.
Thank you for sharing it with us. You are indeed a master weaver of tales.
This HAS to be the BEST story I have yet read in the whole damned site!! The buildup was out-fucking-rageous!! And the way he dropped the dime on his cheating slut wi- no! BITCH!!! Bitch! That's what she was!! A no-good two-timing cheap-assed bitch from Kutztown, PA!! And THAT! Is a state in which bitches abound!!! This strikes me as a tru-life story! And if it is, I want to know the docket number so I can read the whole brief!
God Bless America!!!
She was worse than trash, she fucked for work with her boss, she was a whore and prostitute and she will always be able to find work.
Somehow I missed commenting on this one the first time I read it. Fast-paced, snappy read with superb wit that make me chuckle more than once. I loved the true-to-life realism of the hubby using a boy's toy in the form of a TV to teach the wife a lesson. Well done, HDK, as usual.
You have a droll sense of humor, sir. And biting one as well, as the shrewish wife of your story would certainly give testament. An entertaining and humorous read. Nicely done, HDK. Nicely done.
Found your stories from authers' favorites list, just finished reading them. Hadn't read many LW stories before; your's rated about 4.7 from me (I think), Thank you for enjoyable hours of humor, wit, and perspective on this theme.
Great story..... simply amazing!!! and very funny too. especially when she was speachless and there was foam and spit on her mouth....i actually laughed out loud!
Really a beautiful piece of work. This must be third time through but apparently I never expressed my opionion before.
The story produces several echoes from golf, TV and their home life. She really is not very good at reading him. They must have had a communication problem that caused the affair...
The only thing that would have been better is to throw her shit in the yard! Trust me they get really pissed when you do!!!...lol
she loved stan, just a fling with her boss? no, that empty chair for him will no longer be occupied by her.
One of the best stories I have read here lately. It was fun to read. It was well thought and even better written. Definitely, a story worth reading. Thanks for sharing it with us!
how dense is the woman? chrles (was) in charge, now their lives have been changed. so much for her attitude.
Now I have read the Harddaysknight stories (in alphabetical order). Please write some more. I liked most of them.
No big surprises after the first tirade by the wife about his responses to her indignation when he failed to show up - I loved how he used all of the classic phrases.
You did a great job - thanks
The setup for the denouement was just about perfect. Thanks!
A very nice twist using the same cliches. The use and reuse of them for the two situations...masterful.
This is one great piece of writing. Thanks for sharing.
Like in the most Papatoad's stories, the children go away (above 18 years) and payback is excellent.
I loved how he demonstrated the lies and disrespect to his wife before he lowered the boom. Great story. Thank You.
now they ship you back to where you belong. TK U MLJ LV NV
I enjoyed that she didn't get his comments until she was caught in the act. Amazing on how selfish some can be.
I've just finished re-reading all of your stories, again, and wanted to thank you for many hours of enjoyment. I love your work.
Again, Thanks

Always love it when the cheating spouse says "I didn't mean for you to find out. I never wanted to hurt you". Now back to reality almost always adultery is discovered int this case it was by the cheated on spouse quite independently. Plus of course the cheater does not want their spouse to find out whether they themselves are a slut or a pussyhound. The fenale star in this lustful tale acts incredibily selfish and maybe even more than that incredibily stupid. How long did she think she could make up Saturday work days when no overtime showed up on checks and no promotion came of it even though she promised that was it's purpose ? I entirely agree with the the actions of our male star to catch her in the act in front of family witnesses and then more importantly to quickly kick her out of his life.
That's what happens when you cheat on your spouse. You're out the door.
HA Ha ha
There is no other outcome. Staying in a relationship with a sneak, cheat, spy, liar is a foolish idea. She cannot be trusted with your emotional and physical well-being. A wife like that poses a serious threat to a husband's survival.
we have courts and divorces, so i donot get how all those authors write these stories . when in fact you cannot kick your wife out without a settlement or a divorce or a mutual agreement.. whAT COUNTRY DOES THIS STORY REPRESENT.
that all the women log in as anonymous. We CAN toss a cheating cunt out of the house. We may get in trouble but we sure as fuck can. I threw my wife's shit out in the yard and turned on the sprinkler. I got my hand smacked by the court but it was worth every god damned cent it cost and I would sure as fuck do it again even if it cost me five times as much. Real men don't hide behind anonymous.
Dear female annonymous, I simply ordered my cheating bitch of a wife out the door after 27 years of marriage. She left but not before making a few quotes direct from the cheaters handbbok, such as, "It was only sex I, still love you" or "I never meant for you to find out".
The above title is a moron even from a female. But what else is new these days. Sluts get caught as mine did and I threw her ass out. She did not even get half of the stuff she was ordered to get in the divorce. So the above title written by a true whore and bitch has never been married or has been divorced 8-10 times. Either way just another slut who has ideas in dream worls
I wasn't expecting the end, but good job! There's a moral to this story...which is obvious. The sad part is, where I'm from the law doesn't care about infidelity. He would be living in a van down by the river and Jody would enjoy that tv while having a sandwich on his sofa, scratching his dogs head after banging his soon to be ex...lol
"I never understood why they had Norm on this show," I responded. "He isn't very funny."
So true, so very true.
Damm awesome story as well :)
How could he possibly have fantasies of Shelly Long? One might as well have fantasies of Olive Oyl.
When you are on, you are simply the very best. This was a story where you are definitely ON!
