I might suggest that those of you who don't enjoy my stories exercise your right to stop at this point. We'll miss you to be sure, but I am certain this way we can avoid all the ugliness in the comments section.
I understand, appreciate and welcome constructive criticism. Good and bad.
It may be that I am a poor writer (perchance that is why the only writing I do is for pleasure and shared freely) and while it is true that I would like to improve I have no plans to give up my day job to pursue this full time. I am not going to spend hours researching family law in the different states to appease someone's sense of authenticity.
I just don't care.
I purposely write my stories full of ambiguity and exclusively from the man's perspective. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Please comment accordingly...or better yet,
write a better story than I have!
*********
Trish,
This will be the last time you hear from me and I ask that you never contact me again either unless it's an emergency related to the kids.
An EMERGENCY related to the KIDS. Understand?
I gave you 27 years of my life and you shit all over it so you don't get to be in it anymore.
I know that we'll have to attend some of the same functions; marriages, christenings etc. but I expect that you will keep to yourself. I will not acknowledge you in any way but I won't be the bad guy ruining those days that will be special to our children. I have spoken about this to both Chris and Amy so they are aware of the situation. Keep to yourself and I'll do the same.
You'll never win me back and I have no interest in appeasing your guilt any further. I don't need "closure" as you put it. I got all the closure I needed when I kicked you out and shut the door.
I don't need more details on the why's, how's and who's of your betrayal. I don't care if it was one affair or if you slutted around for the entirety of our marriage. Once was enough and no, I will not forgive you. Let those sorry-assed, hippy therapists forgive you.
I can't and won't and I am just fine with that. It won't cause me any more anxiety to withhold forgiveness for the rest of my life. I didn't do anything wrong. I wasn't the perfect husband but I didn't deserve what you did. So, yeah, you can just live with it.
The one thing I will give you is a response to some of the things you wrote in your letter to me.
I thought about just ignoring it; I didn't even read it for a long. I laughed when I did finally read it and decided I'd address some of your points, just for fun.
First of all, no, it didn't just happen.
That's a lot of horseshit and it's about time you admitted it. It's not like you were just minding your own business one day and suddenly found yourself naked in a hotel room with a strange cock thrusting in and out of your sloppy cunt.
In your letter, you told me you were unhappy, that being empty-nesters scared you and that Greg offered you a sympathetic ear and compassion.
News flash, Trish unhappiness and fear don't cause infidelity. Being unfaithful causes infidelity.
You could have spoken to me about your unhappiness and fears. You should have, but you didn't.
It just happened? I don't think so.
Drunken one-night stands might just happen, they are spontaneous, affairs aren't; they require planning and decision-making. In your case, 14 fucking months of deciding, planning and lying. So yeah, go fuck yourself on that one, Trish!
How did I find out? Not that it's important, really but it is a little of a cliché. I came home earlier than expected.
Yup, I came home early from my trip. You weren't expected back for another 3 days from yours and I was a couple of days early. I managed to catch the flu and decided to leave the conference early. When I got home, I unpacked and thought I'd send you an email before going to bed to let you know I was home sick and sleeping.
You really should have remembered to log out of your facebook account.
Yeah, right there on the screen in front of me I saw the chats with your lover. It didn't take me long to figure out the password to your email account and get a little more detail. If I thought I was sick before I was really ill after reading all of your gooey email and facebook exchanges.
Not to mention the picture exchanges you nasty slut!
At that point I was sure glad you had to be out of town on business. I think I would have killed you if you'd been home. Instead I made reservations to an expensive spa in New Mexico and sent you an email inviting you to meet me there for the weekend.
I called a security company and scheduled a time for them to change the locks, opened new bank accounts, moved some money around and once I knew you were in New Mexico I cancelled all of our joint credit cards.
I made an appointment with a lawyer and was lucky enough to get in that next afternoon.
I copied the emails and facebook messages between you and Greg and decided I was going to forward them to Greg's wife and everyone in your email contact list and both of your facebook friends lists.
Oh and yes, I sent some of them to the kids (none of the pictures though, I spared them that); I just didn't think you would be truthful with them so yeah I felt compelled to do that. After all it turns out you are a first class liar with no conscience whatsoever and I wasn't about to let you whitewash the truth or worse, make me the bad guy.
My lawyer advised me to put half of the money back in our joint accounts, so I did and then used your half to pay off our bills - oh and to hire a couple of escorts - what's good for the goose, right Trish. Best present you ever gave me by the way!
Sue me if you want, bitch but I won't just give it back to you. I'll gladly pay the legal fees to drag it out in court. JUST.TO.PISS.YOU.OFF!
I'm surprised that you didn't figure things out when I didn't join you in New Mexico and that you were unable to get a hold of me? I know it must have cost you a small fortune to reroute your flights and pay for the spa but well, you see, you cheated on me you worthless slag and it gave me a couple of extra days to get shit taken care of.
By the time you flew home, I was ready.
No, I will not apologize for having you served at the airport. I wanted you to know the gig was up before you decided to come to the house and yes, I did take a two week cruise at that time...I needed to heal after all. You have no idea what goes on on these cruises! Seriously great places to get laid!
You are right I probably should have made arrangements for you to get some of your stuff out of the house before I left but I wasn't thinking clearly at the time. I had just found out my wife was a lying, cheating slut and it really was a shock to me. Sorry you had to buy a lot of clothes and get a hotel room but I really don't see why you think I should pay for that. Shall I try to recoup the money you spent on hotel rooms etc. fucking your asshole lover? We can do that dance if you like.
Yes, I insist that the reason for the divorce be filed under adultery because that is exactly why I am divorcing you. I know our state is no-fault and that irreconcilable differences is less costly and quicker but I'm in no hurry, cost is of no importance and you know how I feel about honesty.
And while it is true that we do have differences that are irreconcilable, you want to fuck around and I can't reconcile that, I think Adultery is just MORE honest. Ha, I made a joke, did you catch it? Besides, I want it in the public record. You're a lying whore and I want that to be official. Put on your big girl panties and live with it.
And, yes, all of your friends, family and coworkers now have written and pictorial evidence of your infidelity. Was it absolutely necessary? No, but it sure felt good. More of the medicine I need to heal.
I really laughed hard when you asked me why I decided to destroy Greg's marriage by telling his wife about your affair and letting her have copies of your email and facebook exchanges.
You're delusional.
I didn't destroy her marriage; you and Greg did that by rutting like pigs in cheap hotels. I simply let her know what was going on so she could make an informed decision as to how to deal with her marriage. Personally, I hope she destroys him.
No, I will not see you or speak with you.
No, I will not forgive you and no I definitely will not try to work on our marriage.
I was working on it all by myself the whole time you were fucking around and now I'm done.
No to counselling -- that will only prolong my pain and appease your guilt so I won't ever agree to that. Just another example of you only thinking of yourself. And really beyond easing your guilt what do you see us having after that? A loving, friendly relationship pillared by respect, honesty and trust? Please! I will never trust you, you didn't respect me, we'll never be friends, I don't love you and you are incapable of being honest even with yourself. There is no scenario I can think of that will see us back together. Ever.
Go by yourself. Go with Greg. Just go.
Maybe you're telling me the truth that Greg was the only one. I'll never know for certain and I certainly won't believe anything you ever tell me. And quite honestly, it makes no difference to my future. You fucked one guy once - you're done.
Just so you know, I did have had DNA tests done to ensure that I am indeed the father of our children.
I am.
I hate to think what I would be capable of doing to you if it turned out otherwise.
Yes, I loved the wife I thought I had but no, I don't love you. I still love the woman I thought I married but that isn't you. I'm not sure if she left, died or never was but I do know that YOU ARE NOT HER.
And for the record, I don't believe it when you say you love me and never stopped loving me. That just can't be true given what you did to me. How is it possible to love someone and then betray them so completely? You clearly have no idea what love is, which is another good reason for me to move on.
I'm sorry to hear that your relationship with the kids is strained but I won't do anything to help you there. You made your bed...
Maybe they'll come around one day. Maybe they won't. That's up to them. I haven't told them one untrue thing about you and I promise that will never change. If you want them to think better of you, I suggest you BE better. Try that on for a change.
Just sign the papers, Trish.
If you insist on counselling, I will simply drop the petition and we still won't get back together.
If you then file and insist of remuneration I will counter sue again on the grounds of infidelity.
We can go around and around and around and we still will not be together.
I don't love you.
I don't like you.
I don't want you.
Fuck off!
Happy Trails!
Steve

This is the clearest, most rational and intelligent analysis of what an appropriate response should be. It puts paid to all the self-serving, responsibility neglecting and pseudo rationale for the absence of a moral compass. He is spot on in pointing out that the "I still love her"...is actually confusion of what was and what the reality is now. No one can still love a man/woman that engages in betrayal.
Absolutely finishes ANY LW-CW "explaination or justification".
Brilliant!💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💯💥💥💥👊
5* for the concise writing. Brevity has a merit all of its own. An implacable emphatic termination of relations. As a previous commenter alluded, that has got to be cathartic for some who’ve been in such a situation.
Viz your remarks at the head of the story directed to prospective commenters/readers (“we’ll miss you to be sure” made me laugh), and your desire to improve, NoTalentHack has an essay on the merits of LW, including describing it as a crucible for writing, together with some suggestions as to how to utilise other sections of Lit in conjunction with LW (which though I am not a budding author, I found interesting) for the purposes of refining one’s craft.
In any event, I for one, enjoy your direct style.
Jim
imagino a un par de usuarios de aca, dando este mismo discurso... 3am, sotano, whisky, alucinacion
jajajaja
I really like the fact of the MC NOT being this overly benevolent person who tells his children to have a relationship with the cheater. Especially one that we all know has gone on for a while. I'm so sick of those stories that have the MC being "Christ-like" towards their soon to be ex; let her keep the house, make sure she has enough to live on, etc....
If my cheating spouse falls down in the street, I'm walking past and saying in my head "the motherfucker she was cheating with can help her up".
Concise, and to the point. "Take a piece of marble, and cut off everything extra". Just perfect.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Damm like a fucking boss. Really though there is something to be said when you have principles, mixed with convictions and you don’t sway from your path in the face of gross and immoral actions of others.
Only one improvement to this slam-dunk story would be to have him INSERT his (Italicized) response/answers between her paragraphs of her letter. Let us see the full context of her letter and his replies. And he cc:'ed this response letter to the kids so they/she knows the full truth - sabotaging any desire she might have to paint him badly to the family.

+5* Hooyah, salutes...
I like how the husband here stuck to his points...I did like the story...just not enough of one...her cheating is the story here...so where is her part of this story...from her point of view..........
Its a good start for the story, but wheres the ending? What happened the rest of them? How did they all react? Too much left open to deserve more than a 3.
In this letter he mentioned a letter the ex wrote to him. Would be interesting, what stupid things she wrote in it beyond mentioned here.
He lost the ability to file the divorce for adulatory when he stated that he paid for escorts!
I am glad That You do not think We are all Clucks . Yes My Wife Cheated on Me and Yes I caught them in Bed .. Yes I am 6' 1" tall and finally got My Black Belt in Brazilian Karate . I am also glad that Her lover hit Me in a Restaurant . I sure tore him Up .. My teacher was Mad until he got all all the Facts .. He Hates Bullies as much as I do . He also hates Cheaters More
He wrote things in the letter that in the real world would be foolish to document, it simply doesn't matter here. This was fiction about a man with a certain moral code and a wife who lost hers. Everything a man or a woman for that matter would want to say was there with no quarter given, just like at the Alamo and a fine one it was. Signed: BTW
Love and slut covered
Acts 'vs talk covered
Trust vs lies covered
Etc covered
YES!! A WRITER THAT BELIEVES THERE ARE REALLY MEN LEFT IN THE WORLD. WE ARE NOT ALL LIMP, CUCKOLDS, COWARDS, ETC., SOME START OUT TRYING TO BE MEN, BUT THEN LITEROTICA WRITERS, SHOW THEIR TRUE COLORS AND MAKE THEM WEAK IN THE KNEES AND BACK DOWN AND LOSE IN THE END. BUT THIS WRITER, STUCK TO HIS GUNS, THANK YOU. PLEASE GIVE US MORE OF THIS KIND OF STUFF, MAYBE A LITTLE MORE HAMMER, SAY LIKE, WHY WOULD THEIR KIDS WANT TO EVER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH A SLUT LIKE THIS? AFTER WHAT SHE DID TO THEIR DAD, JUST TELL HER WHAT DAD, DID, GO, AWAY, NEVER TALK TO THEM NEVER ASK TO SEE GRANDKIDS, GET LOST, MAKE HER PAY.
At last, a man with morals and principles.. The guy in this story mirrors exactly my own views on life. A really good story, well written and very deserving of the 5 stars that I award it...
Someone actually enters the real world. This is the reaction of a real man in the real world. This is a 12 or 13 star story simply because it resonates with truth
That probably was the most honest, straight-forward portrayal of what a guy might be thinking about his slut wife, and all of the nonsensical routines of counselors, courts, and the rest of the money suckers who feed on human suffering.
Yes I agree don't have to be on fire for pissing on them
And you burnt both outstanding
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Loved your comment. Was crying from how hard I was laughing...
Science has shown that not forgiving the betrayer has health risks. You don't have to kiss their ass, just don't hold a grudge, The phrase "I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.", comes to mind and I say be the bigger person. Piss all over them. In fact, they need not be on fire at all to feel warm piss raining down on them, the true mark of a class act.
I know this is a story but it seems to be written by somebody who's had it done to him as the depth of feeling just seems so real.
Also the "I still love the woman I thought I married but that isn't you" line is exactly how I felt. "I don't miss YOU, I miss the person I thought YOU were" is exactly how I felt and what I said.
Fiction echoing real life there.
Good "letter" and written with real emotion which is something hard to capture, well done. 5 stars.
Thank you for this.
...To find a cheated on husband call it as it is! Too often they are still in love with the cheater, weep and cry, get drunk, think of suicide, are confused and know not what to do!!! Enjoyed this clear thinking response and succinct delivery. 5*s.
does not match the story just read. 1 was close, 2 were outright reconciliations and the rest looked to be going g the path of Williams g cuckoldry. Lit needs to adjust their definition of similarity and model their algorithm accordingly.
If he had been more blatant and told her how he REALLY felt, maybe she would not have to wonder how she stood with him!

I have been contemplating writing a letter like this for Literotica myself. This one is so good that I am back to being intimidated to do it. Really good job. Thank you.
Read two storiss today where the husbands are wimps. Clues. Stupid. Etc.
So refreshing to find your stories.
Even though not always BTB they are believable responses and actions.
Thanks.
I like the way this author thinks. And writes. His male characters stand straight up in their cheating wives’ face and tell it like it is, sob story be damned. And when push comes to shove, if need be, they go straight for the jugular. Figuratively speaking, of course. No PC bullshit here. Five Stars.
Read this several years ago and just read it again...and guess what, I still loved it.
I'm not going to write another comment, I'm just going to cut and paste my original comment....It is still so true.
"Short and to the point. He hit all the points out of the cheaters' handbook of excuses.
He did what he had to do and didn't cry about it. She got what she deserved. He didn't buy into the "I Love only you" crap that cheaters always use after they are caught. Well Done and Thank You for writing it. Now I have to go and read all your stories."
She does not have any evidence that "he paid for escourts" ! He can say anything he wants but without any evidence she is out of luck. He can say he just told her "he paid for escourts" to get back at her for cheating. He had pictures as his evidence of her cheating.

Well said.
A marriage vow, or any other witnessed attestation carries the same moral validity as an oath in court. It's sworn in court on a Bible or other religious text after all. But a witness' oath is the only one with an obvious penalty for breaking.
A tremendous shame that society fails to condemn an oathbreaker these days and that the gulf between legal and moral right has never been so wide as it is now.
He never lost the right to file under Adultery and under the law it does matter who acts first. Her actions in the first place resulted in the de facto termination of the marriage contract by violating one or more of the core provisions of said contract thus rendering it null and void in spirit if not fact. Given that, his subsequent actions could be shown as the inevitable consequences of her violations and fall under the headings of mitigating factors or extenuating circumstances through extreme provocation when the violations were discovered. He has nothing to be sorry for as he did nothing wrong. She was the cause and he was the devastating effect of that cause.
He lost his right to file for adultery when he wrote in his letter that he paid for escourts. He was stupid to say that in the letter. In law it doesn't matter who did it first. He had sex outside the marriage. Note that the wife had not signed the divorce papers at the time of the writing of this letter!
I wish Steve godspeed! Great story and please write more!!!!!!!
Absolutely wonderful, from start to finish!
Hat's off to you man!
I relate to the way this guy thinks. While I have never cheated nor been cheated upon, I would like to think that this is the way I would behave, were I to find out that my wife had been cheating for fourteen months. No need for details, no effort expended on revenge (at least not per the limited information provided here), but definitely remove her from my life and spread the truth about her so no one could damn me or try to talk me into staying with her. And spreading the truth would, as it did here, involve informing the other guy's wife. This letter says it all very well and wraps it up in a neat bow: no need for further contact, counseling, or extended arguing through lawyers. IT'S OVER, period! Time to start a new life!
Second or third or maybe even forth time I've read this. I love it every time.
True life account of serial cheating wife
Facebook profile of
WORTH THE VISIT. BELIEVE ME. I DID.
Also took advantage of profile offer for explicit accounts and photos. Married female college instructor in Helena Montana
Forces student to fuck her. Then figuratively fucks him by spreading stories. Lost marriage, job and had reputation destroyed.
Based on info she has had dozen affairs-minimum-during marriage to 3rd husband. Was involved with two other men when she started harassing student. Has self-described need to have multiple affairs at same time. Husband knows. Does nothing!
Must be friend of Matt Moreau andRich Gerald.
Holy shit as I read this I was taken back to when I found out I was being cheated on and if you don't know that type of hurt and betrail then you will never understand this letter. I just can't understand what a person thinks to justify cheating on a spouse..Thanks Steve
I noticed an anonymous comment indicated this is a confession, which in a sense, it is. However, it is an admission that he was faithful to an unscrupulous person until he made the discovery of her abhorrent behavior outside the boundaries of a committed relationship. I gave it a five star rating in consideration of the level of emotions evoked.
Very stupid. There's a word for that piece of paper he just signed. It's called a "confession".
He's just provided all the evidence she needs to take out restraining orders, lawsuits, the whole nine yards. All her lawyer needs to do is show this to the judge as evidence that he is cheating on her with prostitutes (they're still legally married until this is over, remember?), wilfully depleting the assets and doing all manner of malicious things. A very stupid confession to make while the matter is still awaiting trial.
Worse yet, a lot of jurisdictions criminalise prostitution. He might just have signed the confession which will put him in jail. Nice going.
The original inevitably will go to the lawyer and the courts. Dozens of copies of his stupid little confession will be mailed to his boss, his parents, his clients, basically every counterparty which comes to mind - and, if she puts his contact info in the return address on all those envelopes, they all will presume he was the one sending this. Maybe he should consider changing his name and leaving town?
As far as this type of story goes, you nailed my response. I don't see the problem with this letter, I know that some of the annonies had a problem with it, and you, but that's not something to worry about. Hell, it might be the same annony sending every negative response. Wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened I bet. Well written and well played. Happy Trails indeed.
Speaking of idiots/aka/assholes.... (Anonymous 02/05/16 The story of a poor idiot.) This is aimed specifically at you.
Anonymous 03/10/16 had you right in the cross hairs. It’s YOU who’s the idiot and a first class asshole. The cheating cunt was repeatedly sending him emails... coming after HIM to reconcile and he finally opened the bomb=bay doors on her with logic that’s clearly beyond your ability to comprehend for why he’ll never respect her, believe her, trust her or have a fucking thing to do with her in this lifetime. In good faith, he gave her a lifetime free ride ONCE and, when it was nearing time to reap the benefits, he found out that she’d been shitting on him and their marriage as an expression of her now professed “love” and thanks.
We know you fucking Liberals intentionally bury your heads deep in your assholes in order to avoid having to see or hear reality and truth but don’t expect to get away with spewing your Liberal PC bullshit at those of us who are NOT BRAIN DEAD or VISUALLY IMPAIRED. All you PC nitwits can keep your bullshit and EAT it.
Don't beat around the bush. Make sure there is no ambiguity in your letter that may lead to false hope. Oh, you already did! Good for you! Gave it the five it deserves.
Thanks for the offering, loved it.....
But then again, with today's speech recognition software, maybe all he had to do was rant into the microphone and let the computer do the work.
You are the "poor idiot" if you can't read and enjoy a simple story as written by the author. DUH!
More than one read for me and I have enjoyed it every time! Should be a form letter for every husband cheated on. Just change the names.
I love the clarity of your thinking and writing. No self pity, no heart broken moaning, just decisive thinking and action. It is a breath of fresh air.
GREAT to see an EX-husband who doesn't wimp out and shoves it up her figuritive ass! What a twat!
Exactly to the point. The only thing I wonder about in all these stories is why the cheating wife wants to get back together? For the most part, the cheating women I have heard about are ready to jump ship when the cheat. In fact, cheating is part of the process of getting out of the marriage. They want to do something so bad, that their husband can't forgive them and stay married. They want out. Often, it is because they do not want to do the work of being a wife, mother, whatever anymore. They are quitting. Great piece!
I understand completely that you don't want to hear her excuses, but there are always reasons for actions. Not good reasons, but reasons.
Also your prologues take away from your stories.
Very good otherwise
“Unhappy” and “scared” – Isn’t that what SPOUSES are for? LOL, I just saw HE said the same thing!
Kinda like Selina28's "Letter to my husband Mark" and then Finishthedamnstory's "Letter to my ex-wife, Selina. With the same flaws. Never, ever put your crimes down on paper for the opposition to use. In this case, taking the money, locking her out of the house and then stating he will refuse counseling were all mistakes. His lawyer straightened him up on the money, although paying the bills with her half would not have worked. Locking her out of the house? Don't make me laugh. She would have walked into the back yard and broken the first window she came to that gave her access. And she wouldn't have been breaking the law in doing so. Refusing Court ordered counseling gets you sent to jail by the Judge. The Judge sends you to counseling then you go to counseling. No choice. No option. Just go. And in the end, he may have embarrassed her but did you give any thought to the fact that she could have claimed both physical and mental cruelty and made him the bad guy without much effort? So while this was an entertaining rant by a cuckold husband it simply didn't ring true. So I have COMPLETELY ignored your opening statement, schooled you about the law, pointed out the flaws in the plot, and generally trashed your story telling. That said, it was kinda funny. But after all those years married to a woman, I felt sad that he ended up with nothing and no one. Maybe your next story can be a comedy?
When everything needed to be said has been. Great letter!
Steve, where the hell were you 30 years ago? I could have used your letter, with only a couple of name changes. Wonderful letter, I gave it one of the few 5* ratings.
I will finish my day with a smile on my homely face.
I enjoyed this story for the total clarity this guy has in his horrible situation. Instead of caving into emotional turmoil, he has held it together and is doing the right thing. In both the short run and definitely in the long run he will be better off.
35 years ago wrote a similar letter to my first wife. This story is just as enjoyable as that one was. Out standing.
And she deserved it. How do people say they love someone that lied to and disrespected?
