Lately, she's been spending a lot of evenings at our house. She and Flo are talking about a vacation for the three of us. Our families are overjoyed that Flo and I are back together, and nobody talks about the fact that we're not married. If anyone's aware of the relationship with Alice, they never bring it up.

I'm happy. Happier than I've been in a while. I sometimes think back to how things were for about a year, when things were at their worst. I rarely let the sounds of Flo coming get to me. I've reclaimed that wonderful sound for myself. Sometimes she'll rub the back of my head, through my hair, feeling for the scars. She doesn't say anything, but I know what she's thinking. She tends to get real lovey-dovey after that.

There's a lot of love and laughter in our home now. No jokes or pranks of any kind. None at all.

It works for me.

========================

That's it. There will be no epilogue to the epilogue. A joke carried too far. Payback carried even further. Marriages broken. Relationships shattered. Luckily, most of us are pretty resilient, and it's true that time heals. I chose this ending because at heart, I guess I'm a romantic, and I want people to be happy. Even those who make mistakes. Especially pretty girls. I confess, I have a weakness for those. In the end, I'll normally choose the happy ending.

Except for that damn Roger. He got cancer, testicular. Lost a ball. Picked up three strains of VD from a transvestite hooker. Got fired from his job. Crashed his car. His dog died. He stubs his toe at least twice a day. Someone keeps stealing his newspaper. Gained 60 pounds. His computer gets a virus at least once a week. He lost a second job, and at his latest he asks "Do you want fries with that?" He drives a moped. That's right. A fucking moped.

The high point of his day is when he gets on Literotica and leaves charming comments on stories that other people spend dozens of hours working on, spewing forth vile, poorly written, grammatically incorrect rubbish. Yes, he's Anonymous.

Of course I'm not writing about my Anonymous commenters, for the most part they're reasonable, have good points, and I appreciate their input. Really, it's true. I have no complaints.

No, we're talking about Roger here.

Fuck you Roger.

Overall, better by far than the 1st part. He's right, the joking & retaliation went too far.

"I received lectures from my family and hers, from the kids, even from Alice... I'd done worse than she had. " Yes, he did, but he was driven to it by several jokes that weren't.

For this part, 4 stars. Well written & told. But I don't know about the reconciliation part- seems that too much bad happened for that. My opinion. Bob

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣yes fuck you Roger!

I find it funny that people complain that a sight about fantasy sex stories are not real enough. Anyway I enjoyed it but I also laughed at BANG! I guess I'm just a weirdo.

Lmao this author really seemed like he held a personal grudge on him. He got the short end of the stick. Mc came out stealing his wife and got his wife back. He did Roger dirty but this was all about doing him dirty so can't complain

Sorry, whole lot about nothing. Too much over the top. No self respecting man would put up with that he did. Then to take her back? Waste of time reading this. LM

4 Stars as I thought everyone was guilty except for the husband . I also thought he went over board on the revenge part . I would have divorced her ass and moved on down the road . Life is way to short to have a wife who always takes her lovers side.

One last word I failed to write prior to posting: my view of liking this with Saddletramp's work is a stretch, to say the least, downgrading his work- more to my thinking. Saddletramp's burning had reason, thought, & logical purpose. The treatment here to an extent might've been, but for the most part, was like burning down the house to treat an insect family just to build it back up & invite the insects to return. My opinion.

From a story where the husband waits too long to confront his wife & neighbors about their hurtful (among a vast of other things) practical joking to him accepting her back after he's hospitalized overnight from that & one more time at a BBQ, hubby then goes overboard in his "joking" payback.

To the friend that not only doesn't stop but increases the humiliation, he should've just washed his hands of the friendship. Filed, as suggested he does, charges against the neighbor for at least unlawful restraint. To the wife who kept apologizing & continuing, including what sounded very much as adultery, she's served with the divorce papers, as well as being an accessory to the neighbor's restraining him.

As the result, this last part mostly wouldn't have been written (which I'd not shed any tears) or written much differently. The neighbor's payback as described wouldn't have been done. Most puzzling, the spineless wimp of a husband not only takes his wife back, but befriends the asshole neighbor. And for that, & this 2 part story, I give a tremendous 1 star. Sorry I took the time to read it. Most times, cutting people out of your life, & here serving them with jail time, then moving on is the best punishment Bob

Pleased to see that you back pedalled on your anon bashing at the end of the story. We're not all trolls, you know. I enjoyed your work immensely and heartily approved of the happy ending.

The commenter who noted these sequels were from the archives of Saddletramp got it exactly right. Way, WAY over the opt, but so very humorous and perhaps a bit poignant. But I can't believe the two protagonists would get back together after all that. I don't buy it that someone like the wife Flo who did that could ever reform sufficiently to restore trusted intimacy. Spousal disrespect was somehow in her emotional DNA. The husband would have been better off to seek therapy than move back in with such a twisted (ex)wife. Speaking of confused!
