All Comments on 'The Taming Of The Shrews'

Too much violence,and no sex.Violence is very vulgal,and not at all interesting in Loving Wife Stories.Reminds me somewhat of "whose afraid of Virginia Wholfe",but not at all as powerful,or interesting.

If I had a dollar for every couple I knew who were exactly like this I'd be a millionaire.

Dr. Suzanne Sommers, LMAO.

This was very well written and a good read.

I agree, well written. And why does everybody assumes that "Loving Wifes" means wifes/girlfriends who are unfaithful? I interpret it differently ;)

A different and interesting story that lends a refreshing change of pace to the Loving Wives catagory. Well written, well thought out--I enjoyed it!

What a delightful story. It's obvious that after so many years this "game" between them serves them both. The husband is receiving some benefit from this exercise, otherwise he would have ended the relationship years ago.

So I find his distaste for the "game" disingenuous. He's as much dependent on this as a means of communication as his wife.

Having said that, it's no surprise that he truly does love this woman. He's willing to sacrifice his life to protect hers; such is an obligation of husbands and parents.

It's good to see that she both recognizes and reciprocates his love.

Sad thing is I know couples like this! I always speak about it with my wife after a visit and still ask what is their deal?

A good take on problems of control. I am glad you settled it positively.

I happened to re-read your stories recently and hoped you would write some more soon.

Years ago, I would have regarded the premise as silly fun, but experience has taught me that it takes only a little misunderstanding to start a pattern of dispute, and then it could go to such extremes. What makes this a great story is that the couple breaks through the useless and destructive habitual thought patterns to find each other again, and delightfully, with Shakespeare.

Nobody in this site can write "real" characters like you do. I can recognize these "events" as something I have done at different periods of my life to the point as having similar words. You are a treasure on this site. I admire greatly your command of language, the way you play with words is witty and intelligent. Oh, how I love reading your stories, can we have another one, please?

It's rare to find a Loving Wives story where the wife isn't a "slut" or the man a "wimp". Good story and it looks like they learned an important lesson.

i didn't know my ex-wife had remarried

Sounds like it took way too long for them but it was good to see them grow up enough to actual be a partnership heh

Another very nicely done story

After putting up with that bitch for over 20 years he deserved the last win.

MAYBE KATE FIGURED IT OUT AT LAST. TK U MLJ LV NV

they lose their dignity

at least they gain it back before it's too late.

A simple and humorous story.

Unfortunately, these two should probably not have married until they GREW UP!

I am afraid they are typical of a few couples now.

Here I thought he was wooden guy with nose

But he still should throw her out and divorce her. She's just high from the adrenaline of two men fighting over her. She'll be back to her normal bitchiness by the time they get home from the hospital. A divorce is his answer.

Was in a car accident once just because someone TOLD me to slow down... And having been told it, I didn't do it... In spite of having intended to do it anyway - at least prior to being told to.

They played chicken until they both realized they were going to crash... At that point, the "fun" in winning wasn't.

Interesting story...

I know you wrote this with tongue firmly planted in cheek, but the sad reality is that this kind of one-up arguing about nothing goes on all the time -- and all too often leads to cheating (or violence) and divorce. At least there were no kids to get maimed and scarred for life in this train wreck of a marriage.

Well told and wrapped up appropriately. Five * of course!

The story of two married kindergarten kids.

I guess in a weird way they deserve to be together, at least not to ruin any other people's lives.

Funny, but not good to me.

This story is a big pile of ... u see it above

This relationship describes mine. Fight over the tinest things (though not tiny at that immediate moment, just afterwards). Still love each other. I’m not a brown belt. And I’m just not smart as what’s his name above. I cant be introspective at the moment, it’s just “win this fight.”

So don’t think relationships just like it don’t exist. And it may seem juvenile, but it is what it is.

Completely useless. white rice? duke? half dozen?

A "funny" story, written with a very dry sense of humor. Fantastic, I loved it. For some though, this scenario is all too real. The constant bickering, slights, and ad hominem attacks accrue over time until a vanishing point for their marriage is achieved, even though they may both regret it. Pride is a dangerous thing when you give it control.

Thankfully, they were awakened and jolted from their destructive path by a shocking event. Perhaps now they can behave like lovers. Good story. Well done, Rpsuch. Thanks for posting.

frequently a proxy for what the REAL disagreement is about. There's something potentially relationship altering, but one or both parties are afraid to go there, resulting in constant spats about anything and everything except what really matters. Hopefully this couple can go back to communicating and compromising.

Nicely done story

Strange, but interesting story. I enjoyed it.

....chuckling as he reads yet another story inspired by one of his most popular works. I very much enjoyed this and gave it five stars

1 House Sex. Newlyweds and young lovers, having sex all over the house

2 Bedroom Sex. Established couple, maybe with kids, having sex on a semi schedule in the bedroom with the door closed.

This pair zipped right through 1 and 2 to the third stage.

3 Hallway Sex. Older couple, empty nesters, roommates who share a bed, shouting Fuck You at each other as they pass in the hall.

Sad that so many relationships devolve to the point that this isn't really a joke.

But "HELL NO!" The bitch nearly gets him killed to prove her point or win an arguement that a 5 year old wouldn't be having. Go to the hospital, go home, move out and get a divorce before she DOES kill you. A decent story completely ruined by the ridiculous ending.

1 star

I hate to make things look like Revenge of the Anons, but I agree with the comment of the Anonymous poster of 04/08/20. This couple is toxic and they should split up, admitting that they just bring out the worst in one another.

Any apparent improvements will be temporary. Their personalities aren't about to permanently change.

A fun story, thanks!

I liked it. Short and creative. 4 stars.

I just love to see a big tough guy get his but kicked. I have done it twice but I've seen my brother do it several times. I a couple that it seemed that the wife would flirt with some big guy and the husband would get upset get involved and before you knew it there was a fight. I never seen or heard of that little guy losing a fight.

Two adults acting like six year olds. Fight scene was unrealistic. These “adults” are they way young people are today and it’s the reason they are so screwed up.

You write really great dialogue. Some of the best in this section, imo.

Different,well written, will read more by this author 4*

Any cunt who would put her husband in that situation needs to be single. I matter what he said. Her need to be dominant speaks to an femi-nazi agenda. Kick the whore out before she gets you killed

Well this was deliciously dumb. Takes nearly getting raped and him getting killed before they stop behaving like 10-year-olds and actually embrace being married like adults. I like how "or mental illness" was mentioned a few times; surprisingly accurate I would say.
