All Comments on 'Gold for Plastic Ch. 01'

He gets it they don't move on -

I think I've discovered an oddity. I never see the cucksters comment on this type of story. I don't see the apologists or swingers posting comments on how it's all good and how it somehow strengthens a relationship, how they mature or grow as adults, and all that other totally opposite definition of what is normal type bullshit. I bet I know why that is, and I'd bet everyone else does too....

I've just finished the barbecue scene, and frankly if it was me, given her attitude, I'd tell her that since she finds our life so "boring", maybe we should get a divorce so she isn't "bored" anymore.

When Theresa (or was it Megan?) who said that he would be also free to pursue his "interests", did they think that might include other women?

Or were they expecting HIM to be faithful, while she wasn't?

and can the plastics even up the score. TK U MLJ LV NV

Any normal spouse put into this situation by the other spouse would quickly tell that other spouse to "pack sand" and immediately kick that spouse to the curve. And, Theresa needed to be flatly informed that she is also a two-bit slut.

wow this is shitty

Very strong. Excellent story so far.

absolutely hated the superbly crafted characters. 5

He is right, there is no marriage to fight for.

She's the under lying cause for his current situation. She has no standing in his relationship with Megan other than the fact that she caused Megan's actions that led to the divorce. Why didn't he just shut the door in her face when he saw who was there? As for his soon to be ex-wife, killing her might be too strong a reaction but I would think he'd be looking a way to torpedo her and her relationship with Palmer. We'll see. He's acting like too much of a wimp at this point.

I am unable to maintain my "willing suspension of disbelief" in regard to our hero's intelligence and imagination. He is simply too much of a dullard to actually be a senior programmer. He must be able to see that he and Megan share none of the same values or drives. His ability to ignore alarm bells, nay, screaming klaxons, shows he's not a real character, only a cardboard cutout, devised to satisfy the requirements of this tired plot.

Not even in a fantasy world a man would be having this stupid lame wuss conversations with the wife and her friend. In the real world a man would go bersek the very first time.

or at least find different ways to hash them out. This is a tired retread that has been done over and over and over and this one has nothing new.

5* for a well written story but I have a hard time comprehending such idiotic, slutty behavior.

The writing is fine, though the people are extremes- he's clueless, but at least finally gets his self respect together. She is just a pod person, swapped with some shallow version of herself. The hardest part to believe is where she says she loves him and wants to stay married. Clearly she doesn't. I am curious about the rest- it's all pretty much been said already.

"She was single and carefree and, as Megan saw it, led an incredibly interesting life." - We've all seen it too many time; nothing good ever comes from "happily" married women socializing with young, single women!

"Theresa made it clear that it was a girl's night and that I was going to be out of the loop." - How can it be a "girls' night" if Gabe is going to be there? Those "faint alarm bells" should have been blaring klaxons!

What's with all these boyfriends at a girls' night?

"Theresa made it clear that it was a girl's night and that I was going to be out of the loop." - The ONLY way we would go if it was me, I would not leave her side for one SECOND! I would walk her to the bathroom and wait outside it for her, and pee in the bushes before leaving her alone if I had to go!

Where did she get the money for those clothes? I thought they were trying to save for a house?

"if you love me, and cared for my happiness, I think you'd make the sacrifice to your pride" - Again. the old "pride" bullshit! And what if HE wants to share HIS love with others? Oh, sure, she'd probably say yes, either because she doesn't think he can get anyone else, or she seriously doesn't care. In any case, he doesn't WANT anyone else, he wants his WIFE, exclusively, and since she obviously DOESN'T want that she can get her ass out!

"I'm out of here." - Why the fuck should HE leave? Throw HER out, she can always go to Palmer's house, where is HE going to go?

"You're not even going to fight for your marriage?" - Why should HE fight for it? Megan obviously isn't!

I read stories to enjoy them. I liked this story and am curious what happens next?

Love this author's writing. Now this is what I would like to see more of on this site.

Theresa gave Megan the impression that she hung out with ' beautiful ' people, intelligent, witty, and so on. Surely Megan would have to have seen these people for what they actually are.

Instead, she is all too quickly seduced into it and seemingly unaware that there could ever be any consequences.

Nice writing but far too short, unless you , or someone else intends to follow it up.

only fly in the ointment was, she said he couldnt go "girls night"! to a party with other guys there? there should have been a serious "we need to talk" and a reminder of wifely behaviour right there! but our hero was overly accepting and frankly a bit wimpy.

Wimp tail

Right now, I see the guy as a weak person. Let's see what part 2 has. If it was me she would never step foot in the house and talk her shit. He at this moment is a wimp with a slight man in him.

He realizes their is a problem with Theresa, but he does not communicate his very serious concerns to Megan.

Matt is not allowed to go to the first party, sees Megan dressed as she is and is not concerned enough to express his feelings. Especially after he knows Megan is being influenced adversely by Theresa.

After he catches Megan in an uncompromising position at the party the first time, he doesn't have a problem with her still spending time with Theresa or going back to Palmer's parties without him.

After Megan is caught and she gives the feeble rationalization and demands, Matt still considers getting back with her at some point.

Frankly Matt is written as either a wimp or naive, but no one deserves to go through what his wife has done to him. Theresa and Megan claim that Megan loves him, but this is not entirely correct. I'm sure Megan loves him like a person loves a puppy, or a friend, but not like a spouse should. She selfishly proclaims that Matt should put up with it because she wants to sleep around, but does not apply the same standard to Matt and his needs. She deliberately hurts him doing just about the worst thing a spouse can do and expects him to accept it. She does not make him the priority. Obviously she does not love him as a spouse should.

She knew what she was doing was wrong and hurtful because she tried to keep it hidden. She does nothing but think of herself and her own wants instead of what is best for Megan and Matt. She repeatedly says it doesn't affect Matt, but clearly doesn't understand that everything she is giving Palmer is something that she can't give to her husband. Obviously she disrespects Matt.

I really hope this is not an RAAC story or one that implies that Matt is the bad guy.

you go to a party where men are and I'm not invited? You go ahead then. I'll be busy changing the locks and throwing all your shit on the front lawn.

There are so many flaws in the logic of this story that it should have been listed under "FANTASY" but one perfect opening that JustTheMopSwinger totally missed was when he wrote these lines:

(( At the bottom of the stairs I ran into Theresa, still in her robe. She had a look of uncertainty and maybe a little bit of concern about her.

"Don't do anything rash, Matt. She loves you. You love her. Don't screw that up." ))

Had that been me, I would have spit in Theresa's face and bluntly 'thanked' her for encouraging and assisting my wife in her destruction of our marriage.

This story's an unrealistic crock of shit but I still gave it five stars because it's well written.

burn the bitches and bastards but throw her to the curb with the other whore

At least he pulled his head out of his ass. During most of the conflict it seemed Matt was an idiot. Not confronting Meg about her "flirting" and not having a serious discussion at that time? Letting her go back, let alone without him, and not drawing a red line? Even towards the end thinking he might change his mind and didn't want to burn bridges?

I agree with anonymous 9/26/17. She can't love him like a spouse should. She thinks only of herself.

Are Theresa and Meagan so wrapped up in their own world that they couldn't fathom divorce? Fighting for the marriage? What nonsense is that when Meagan was the one to throw it away. Why fight when she has already decided what she is going to do. Why fight when the marriage has been destroyed.

An RAAC would be a pathetic end at this point. Hopefully it doesn't happen

His marriage was doomed as soon as his sheep of a wife started following Theresa's bullshit. The only way to save it would have been to have put his foot down after going to that first party and demanding she cut all ties with the degenerates, but by that time Megan was probably too sucked in by the lifestyle. Still, a divorce threat might have snapped her out of it.

Anyway, good to see he handled it properly at the end and told the slut to GTFO. After all the disrespect she'd shown him, their marriage was ruined.

I'm really enjoying it's work. Hope Matt maintains his inclination and kicks Megan to the curb. Hopefully, a little of the burn will land on Palmer and Theresa too.

Just skim to end and give it one star.

With many comments. Matt is written as a wimp and possibly naive. Meg already proved that she can't be trusted when "flirting" with Palmer but Matt doesn't have an issue with her going to these parties and spending time with him and others alone. And he keeps considering taking her back? WTH?

Matt isn't allowed to go to a party where there are other guys? That would be the first serious discussion about commitment and marriage. Catching her "flirting" should have been cause for an ultimatum. The smell test. If you can't do it in front of your spouse then you shouldn't be doing it.

Megan knew she was wrong which is why she tried to hide her relationship.

I'm sure somewhere there are a few people who agree with Megan and Theresa but the overwhelming majority do not.

No holding back. I feel sorrow for this guy. He lost any semblance of being a man in the middle of page 2. His lack of action doesn't give the reader any inclination to cheer him on. If he is not concerned, why should the reader be concerned?

Reading again Mat gave her too much freedom and lost her. Turns out he didn't lose much at all.

Married women do not go to a strange man's house all dolled up while telling her husband he is not invited and is to stay home.

Mat is about as articulate as a goldfish. His statement that his wife having two men "Just isn't right" and that the marriage "pretty much" ended when he caught his wife with Palmer, well, that kind of articulate reasoning would do a goldfish proud. He pretty much wasn't worth having around, anyway.

In my view the protagonist needs a functioning brain to keep the story moving. This fellow Mat should be called Door Mat.

The friends are Greg Martin & Bill White. Who’s Tom? Theresa is with Gabriel. Who’s Stuart? Another one of her lovers?

Jesus tap dancing Christ, I would have backhanded Theresa a couple of times talking that stupid slut language in my house...

He should have dumped the bitch when he saw her 'flirting'.

I must have a shorter fuse than your MC because they look like wimps to me. They reach the right decision much too late, allowing a lot of disrespect in the process. Well written, but the weak husband made it less enjoyable to me.

JTJ is yet another of many wimp writers without any ability to makes his own plot so he regurgitates commonplace that has been repeatedly used in LW. On the top of that he has no ability with write either so he lifted totally bogus relentless moronic cliché dialogues between delusional female character and a weakling and confused male character. Unlike authors that know how to write building a suspense in a plot JTJ writes idiotic dialogues that just frustrate the reader in their idiotic repetitions, adding psychobabble as well (like "she has ran away from herself").

It is really annoying to read this through so I skimmed most of it not losing any part of the plot since I am familiar with all LW banalities that are woven into this predictable drivel of a story.

The only good thing about this author is that he has stopped writing. Hopefully he does not return as we have enough of this hogwash in LW as it is.

This calls for the good ol' bitch slap, a n two cases......

When she was going to go to some rich blokes house and she was all dolled up and he wasn't invited he should have told her "if you go, don't come back".

He goes to the second party with her and finds Palmer with his hand on her ass and she is flirting, I thought he was waking up ....

The party after the one where he caught Palmer with his wife, he goes home and leaves her there ......... Matt is as dumb as dog shit.

Then he keeps letting her go there.

Palmer didn't take his wife, Matt pretty much handed her to him on a platter

The correct response is to follow her to the house, and burn it down around all those depraved parasites!

ZK

same old story plot, nothing new so far and I only read page 1 and 3 because it was so obvious what was going to happen.

Pretty standard plot but we'll written. Theresa comes off as the prototypical "chorus" in a Cagivagurl story where it is all about the male ego and the cheating wife deserves to have her needs met by another lover on the side, possibly for a long time. The difference in those stories is most times the MC doesn’t just end it bit slowly tortures himself until he gets a divorce and the either lives miserably indefinitely or lives miserably until he gets back together with his cheating ex-wife after she finally apologizes. There are different variants but wow Theresa felt like a character straight out of a Cagivagurl LW tale. Those too are well written but are honestly morally and intellectually offensive. Here it is more about the MC realizing Megan and Theresa are batshit crazy and taking steps to end thr marriage. Such new age-open marriage platitudes and rationalizations are shallow and insulting for the vast majority of people. Note here Megan didn't want an open marriage. Just to be Palmer's mistress for a time (as if it would stop with him *snicker*) but the husband to stay faithful. Lol. Such bs. No wonder why 92% of open marriages fail, ending in divorce. What Megan was proposing being a delusional airhead and morally repugnant bitch is even worse than a traditional open marriages or swingers. Wonder what the failure rate of that type of relationship is nowadays...

This story is just to long and you knew what the ending was after the first few lines.

Couldn't finish it, the guy destroyed his marriage by not telling the wife to be a wife or not and be done with it.

Where's the BTB for Theresa?

Burn them all down ASAP. No mercy on anyone, and please, no RAAC.

I was glad to see Matt finally get it through his thick head that Megan was a lost cause and he should just file for divorce and move on. And serve restraining orders against her and Theresa. And then catch “Palmer” out and about some night and kick the ever loving shit out of him. That’s what I think he SHOULD do.

Will he?

Pretty good story, jtj, thanks for posting it.
