All Comments on 'Doug's Wife'

What an awful writer. I have no clue why you bother. Being a piece of shit doesn't make you "more human." It just makes you a piece of shit. That's what you are, a turd, floating around in the pool of life.

And the point? Why the fuck did you post this? It's not even a story, you don't care what we think so why the fuck should we care about 'your' life?

What was that? You need to hang it up. You never were any good and you're losing it now. Not a story, a snippet of a scene. Bad shit, man.

No, there was no moral to this story. It wasn't even a story.

. . . during first Gulf War, in 1991, had same ‘deal’ with his wife. She was a horny little thing, and while she didn’t fuck the whole county, she did use her hall pass a couple of times. Her husband, apparently, did not. Anyway, she didn’t use her hall pass with me. She told him, at least one time, over the phone, about having used her hall pass, and with whom. I’d never have expected him to ever get lucky, with anybody.

They didn’t get divorced over this, but things weren’t good between them for a long time.

This story reminded me of them. Maybe the husband would have handled their deal better if he’d been getting some Saudi pussy, who knows, but it seemed to me that he was most upset that his wife had gotten more side action than he did. He made a deal, then got pissed when he wasn’t the main beneficiary. Shit happens.

I always enjoy your writing. You have a refreshing straightforward style and I know the male protagonist is not going to be baffled by bullshit or burst into tears.

As an aside, there must be a doctoral thesis in why Anonymous commentators can't tell good writing from a bull's foot.

back in the 70's, the draft, 'Nam a lot of relationships were mucked up and this is just a story of one of them. thanks for the flashback 4

Unsure why he needs revenge when he's taking everything that moves just like his wife, and the only thing stopping him from more is a shot in the ass.

I always enjoy your stories and smile when I see one from you come up. I enjoy your subtle sense of humour that makes me smile throughout the reading. Your characters are always interesting in a down earth way. Thank you. 5*

No need to go chasing the natives, the Army supplies randy enlisted females as part of the ''adventure''.

Infidelity and fraternization amongst troops is every bit the equal of those hospitals you talk about

You must not know how to use that nice one you claim to be packing

I can’t understand why a woman or a man for that matter can’t stay faithful if they are married and sent off to war. I guess if your just dating maybe break up before you leave so there is no mental torture. If I was leaving for war I’d ask if I could send letters to vent but would not want any in return. Are people that bad that if there married they can’t wait for there hubby or wife to go on leave every so often to get laid . Especially if the person is at war risking their life for their country. Use your hands buy toys and do what’s necessary to get past his time away. Even cheating, if your married or dating you should be able to have sex as often as possible and if still needed the chase or variety than don’t commit to anyone until your done . I know this may sound sexist but I could never understand why a woman would allow themselves to be fucked by a lot of guys . Men are dogs but I hold woman to a higher standard. The girls when we were young who fucked a lot of guys were never respected. Guys just wanted to get laid then told everyone they could how they fucked her. Beautiful smart girls who fell into this trap only wound up with bad reputations. One said years later that everything she did and every guy she was with made up who she was and this was in a large conversation with a group of men and woman. One obnoxious ass who use to fuck her said so every woman is defined by how many dicks they had in there body and every pussy the guy fucked make up who he is. Who than this world is so fucked and many laughed but a few spouses were not to happy. I know her husband who was not from around them was pissed and made her leave shortly after and also in a nice way put the guy in his place. My opinion is if you don’t respect yourself and body than others definitely won’t and today it’s much worse because everyone has a camera and social media to spread to all. Years ago it was word of mouth and unless you saw it there was alway deniability

This story is written so strangely, and moves so quickly, it’s often difficult to figure out what’s happening at any given moment. And yet...I really enjoyed it! The characters are interesting, and the plot moves so quickly that it almost has a “Forrest Gump” vibe. I only wish the story were a little more fleshed out and detailed.

The only part of this story that made me pause and question was the million-dollar life insurance policy. Today they’re common, but forty years ago? Not so much.

Thanks for contributing your story.

Odd how a true tale gets panned far more than some unlikely drawn out scenario. Sure seems to. This one has as much truth as I can remember. The 60's were a weird time, women suddenly realized they had pills, the concerns of pregnancy were gone and the chains came off. War, and a sense of the end being near was a part of that.

In some ways, those days were the best of times. In other ways, the worst.

And some of us now have mostly memories, just the way of life.

5* You old fart! Thanks for making me laugh!

should have said If I Don't Come Back marry someone else, TK U MLJ LV NV

But my first wife didn't even wait for my permission. But she was in the midlands and me up on a construction site in Scotland so that didn't last long. The second one sort of asked my permission beforehand so that one crashed as well. Ok with the third one. No problems. Well not that sort anyway.

Why am I not surprised that you've been married four times? Regarding your current marriage, either you've mellowed (which I doubt) or else your current wife doesn't mind living with a POS like you. There are women who are sadly like that.

I have friends that grew up in small towns (my mom and dad), he was also in VN. I’m pretty sure nothing untoward happened between my mom and others (before my time). As I think about it, it wouldn’t have surprised me. Time is a great healer or tormentor, depending on how you view life. Liked the story. Xoxoxoxoxo Annette

Drifting thru time, no plans, just letting life happen and reacting to whatever comes along. I'm still not sure how a man that doesn't trust women convinced four of them to marry him. Especially considering the fact that it doesn't sound like he ever had anything but a cheap boat. Uninspired ramblings, but that was what I expected.

The Seventies was a time that left some memories.

You NEVER "tell an overly sexed young wife that messing around with others while you are gone will be OK." Because it's not OK; it's plain wrong & cheating. -From another military service member.

You can't trust her let alone any other partners she may have to stay clean. Granted this story being a picture of the 60s-70s the last thing on some people's minds were STDs (some weren't even identified/common knowledge until the 80s.) You'd think it would be more of a reason monogamy should be highly valued. Putting your partner, future partner or, yourself in that risk really isn't worth the gamble, is it?

Heard too many stories from both married & single service members that started with: "Caught something from the damn, cheating b***h..."

but for your REAL fans, the ones who have stood by you for years reading what you have published here, and being grateful for your strong body of work that has endeared you to us and kept us on the lookout for the next new whatever is may be.....

Well THOSE fans, I bet, appreciated this more honest excursion back through your impressive memory warehouse stockpile and KNOW that although this may not have been the shiniest gem in the collection, it is surely more than valuable in it own way, in fact contributing much to the full net worth of your enviable treasure chest of experience.

Thank you very much for sharing.

Some people will never understand just what a gift it is, and can be, to be exposed to someone as generous as the authors that continue to contribute here, in total SPITE it seems. of the countless assholes who apparently take this ENTIRE process for granted.

Yes, the world is FULL of folks who just never will understand.

Sad.

For those of us who see real writers posting real stories, not some POS's trips down memory lane, this is some lame ass junk. Hang up the spurs, old timer, you never were that good.

As a twice wounded Vet myself, I enjoyed your story. I wasn't married, but my fiance took up with my high school best friend. I didn't get to throw him down the stairs, but he was very, severely injured in a fight he provoked and started. He was a football star, but still a boy., who didn't realize that you don't give a man an excuse to even a score. The worthless bitch got pregnant, didn't know to whom, and ballooned to about 200 pounds. I never spoke to her again until I visited the old town about 10 years later. I stopped at a convenience store to get gas and a 300 pound female clerk called me by name. I had not even recognized my old fiance. Paid for the gas, said thanks, and left with a small prayer of thanksgiving. That is why I hate all cheaters, and most especially those who cheat on deployed or any active duty service man or woman. Damn you all

Don't even bother to get married while you are in the service, ESPECIALLY if you're in the Navy. Every time the ship goes out for a few months, half the wives (at least) go into "deployment widow" mode and start fucking everything that moves. I swear, in my time in, I must have only seen maybe 1 out of 5 or 6 marriages last longer than 4 or 5 years, and EVERY DIVORCE was due to cheating.

From the late fifties, through the sixties and seventies, social experimentation was rife in Western society. Prosperity, the pill, pop culture, the boomers coming of age, all changed things. The Bomb gave a lot of people the feeling that 'We're here for a good time, not a long time'. Then came the crashes of the eighties, with Greed-is-good and HIV-AIDS closing things down and conservatism took over.

I wonder what memories those who are now of the age we were back then will write their stories about?

As MGM said, "Odd how a true tale gets panned far more than some unlikely drawn out scenario." LW commenters seem worried that some of the things wives do in Loving Wives stories might actually have happened.

Just wanted to say thanks for another great story. I am always happy to see you listed in the new story section. I like that your current slate of stories are more memories then fiction. Gives your tales the feel of reality. No over the top ninja/special forces/mafioso supermen, just a regular young guy that reacts like a regular young guy would.

Setting aside the number of fellows your ex slept with, the real deal breaker was the fact that she was still doing stuff with them (in the car on the way home) after you came home. The excessive use of the free play card could have been forgiven (if she had been honest), the continued playing, not so much.

I do remember being that young, dumb and full of...well, full of bad decisions. Luckily we age and hopefully get wiser. I'm glad you ended up with Deb. Glad you finally met your "one", and glad you came to a place were you are both happy.

Keep up the stories MGM, we really appreciate all of you exceptional writers continuing to offer up your work, despite the caustic environment of the LW section. Many thanks!

Rambling? Not really, but free flowing and always entertaining. I saw stuff like this happen way back then but fortunately my GF now wife is a cradle catholic who holds herself to a high standard and brooks no nonsense from me, either. Works better that way, we've found. But those who had to learn the hard way? Kudos to you, too, if you survived. Many of my compatriots did not, succumbing to drugs, alcohol, and HIV, not to mention motorcycle and car accidents. Age tends to bring a on certain melancholy thinking about old friends and acquaintances whose luck was not so good as ours. So, yeah, I understand where MGM is coming from. Hope he keeps writing.

. . . who just can’t stand any LW stories that aren’t pure btb, but this one was very much real life. I’ve seen this happen, to other soldiers, in hospitals, and I’m sure it happens in every field where men and women work together. Men meet women whom they don’t see when they’re sick or bitchy, and with whom they have something professional in common. Women meet similarly situated men. In hospitals, with nurses working 12 hour shifts, but having 3 or 4 days off during the week, or the Army, where they get deployed together, this stuff happens. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.

like a donkey, squats before you

Silent, stubborn, she abhors you

Knows what for, too

Still you do her, time and time again

Cuz this is fantasy, my friend

In which you find you're much more able -

On the bed, the floor, the table

An impressive thirteen inches

Swallowed while your ass she pinches

Punish her for infidelity

Shave her, clean her, wash the smell of he

From her hair, both high and low

'til naught remains but soapy glow

Then, and only then, you bone her

You think "she'll scream, yes, she's a moaner '

But she seems bored, she yawns a lot

At one point, sneers "That all you got?"

Humiliated, you explode

Leave her there beside the road

Although she does not seem upset

And as you're leaving you see her get

Her phone out and start making calls

You rage, but know you lack the balls

To make her finish what she started

And anyway, she just now farted...

Good read, Brother. Appears we are both privileged to have rolled in some of the same sh*t, right?

Stay safe, k?

another time, another place. I remember things well, but in a way it's like it all happened to somebody else.

I didn't find that special girl until I got back so I never went through what some guys did, the "Dear John's" and stuff about "Jody". Some kids really had it rough; what 12,000 miles from home, getting some sorrowful apologetic letter and then more mail from "friends" back home talking about how good she looked and how happy she was with the "new" guy, sometimes even an old friend.

What gets me now is all the phony hat wearers. Veterans hats can be bought at the CVS. Another thing that gets me is all these guys who say they were never welcomed home, and got stiffed by people. That never happened to me. My family and friends were all delighted I got back safe and sound. The girl I married sure was too. Man, I've lived the fairy tale. Glad I made it home.

P.S. I enjoy most of your stories, so keep at it.

I do really enjoy your stories. They bring out the real life of us futile beings. These seem to be, but wither fiction or not they do represent real life, and are well written by some one with a passion for life. Kudos to you and keep writing.

May be sometime these could be published mainstream. :) Hell Fifty Shades made it to big screen.

Excellent story.

reflections with context and insight. What's not to like?

A swabbie who uses the “latrine????”

Must be the Canadian navy.

Thanks for sharing I love your style of writing.

Still a great story that rings a lot of bells for me. I really like it.

Him and thousands of others. Some, unfortunately, had a kid or one on the way.

Oh great, now you tell us...

Good story. I enjoyed it although short. I would like to see a longer ending or maybe make it a page longer, youre good, you can pull that off.

Nice one.

Been there, I lived it, also.
