Click hereI had heard the shower running for quite a while, and then silence. Finally, Edie's footsteps sounded as she slowly came down the stairs and into the kitchen. She avoided my eyes as she circled the table, finally sitting down in the chair across from me.
I watched her, saying nothing, keeping my face neutral—I think.
Without raising her eyes from the table she said, "I'm so sorry, baby."
I waited, figuring there would be more, but she kept silent for a long long time. Then, finally, "aren't you going to say anything?"
"What do you want me to say, Edie? 'Guess the surprise didn't work out all that well'?"
She started to cry. "Why don't you shout at me? Why don't you curse, and throw things, and tell me what a cheating cunt I am and how badly I've hurt you? Why don't you throw me on the table and spank my cheating ass until it's bright red?"
"What would be the point?" I asked. "Would that make it hurt any less? Would that take away the sight of you on the bed, our marital bed, with two cocks shoved up you? Would it make me less of a cuckold, or you less of a whore?"
She shook her head, and just cried harder. I wanted to make sure this was the one and only time we went through this, so I just waited.
It took nearly twenty minutes before her weeping dried up; by then I had finished my beer and begun another.
"This wasn't the first time," she finally said.
"I could see that."
"I don't know why I started. I've never been as happy with anyone, or as in love with anyone, as I am with you. You're the only man who has ever made me feel totally understood, totally loved and totally safe.
"And it certainly wasn't because our sex-life isn't good enough. I love the way you make love to me, and it's just gotten better and better over the years.
"It's just...I don't know. I went out to a club with Bonnie once, when you were away..."
"Stop, Edie. Just stop. I don't want to hear how it began, or when, or with whom. It doesn't matter.
"But I would like to know why you kept doing it—why you felt it was all right, to fuck other men behind our back, to do gang-bangs with two guys at once, to screw them in the bed where you and I sleep together..."
"STOP, Jerry," she cried at me. "I don't know, I don't know! I never thought it was all right! I knew it was terrible, it was disgusting, and half the time I loathed myself. But I loved doing it.
"The sex was never as good as what you and I had. But the secrecy and the cheating—and the dirtiness of doing it with strangers—made me incredibly hot.
"I could lie to you, and tell you that I thought it would be okay as long as you never found out, that what you didn't know would never hurt you. But I knew that was bullshit. I knew that it was wrong—and I knew that I would have felt totally destroyed if I found out you had cheated on me.
"I just couldn't stop, OK?" By now she was sobbing again. "I hated doing it, but I loved doing it too, and I couldn't stop."
She cried for a while again, while I finished the second beer. I was hurting too, but it felt cold and empty now. Distant. I was ready to be gone.
When there was silence in the room I said, "I'm going to divorce you, Edie. I'm keeping the house—I want you out by tomorrow."
She looked at me imploringly. "Baby, is there...is there any chance you...."
"None. None, none, none. Not any. Zero."
I stood up. "I'm going to spend a couple of days in a hotel. I'd like you and all your stuff out of here by Friday."
I walked out of the room without looking back.
***************
That night in the hotel room I wrote Edie a letter, telling her how long I'd known about her whoring around, how I'd gotten revenge on Marvin, Joe, and Harry, and how I'd set her up. I figured I'd send it to her after the divorce, so she'd know that I played her for a fool just like she played me for one.
In the end, though, I never sent it. The divorce took five months, and I didn't see her or speak to her again, though she called several times asking me to get together.
Once the divorce was done I thought, what's the point? She lost the man she most loved in the world, and she did it through her own stupidity. She's in plenty of pain.
And by then I was dating Shelley, and I was a lot happier. It just didn't seem to matter so much anymore.

Ehy stop her from explaining after saying he wanted to hear how this happened? More names to gather and karma to dish out
"I reacted pretty much like any other red-blooded heterosexual man would do."
Uhh, no he did not.
This is a plausible ending, but it misses one important point from the original story:
"She [Evie] hung up the phone, got off the bed and headed for the closet [where Jerry was hiding], but at the last second she turned and went into the bathroom."
This is at least a strong indication that Evie knows Jerry watched her have sex for two hours and did nothing to stop her. She should use this.
How on earth could he have continued to have sex with her knowing the strong possibility of an STD. otherwise 5+
the surprise birthday party for all the family was good, novel. rest was sort of standard story.
Personally, I think revenge of the sort he exacted and the time involved required too much effort on his part. If he really wanted revenge, he could have set her up with the IRS and the three major credit rating agencies. Total time required about 30 minutes to an hour.
I would not remotely have his patience. No need to burn them all. Get a divorce and move on. She is a deranged slut.
Ick. Divorce her. Take video and send it to everyone you and she knows. But why all the waiting and the felonies. Why the setup?
Stupid ending to what was a pathetic story to start with. Why bother? He was going to confess to how many felonies he committed? Brilliant!
Do what I did send pictures to her Whole family . Her Dad who I hated asked if i couldn't take her back .. I just started laughing at that statement . I then asked if He would put up with his wife being the town pump and everyone laughing behind his back . He said No and I said tell her to quit fighting the Divorce or I will have the Video on a porn site .
One of the better BTB stories. Not vindictive enough for the hardcore mysoginists but all the better for being touched with a little honesty and restraint.
LA
Edie could use his letter against him by giving it to the police. He was an idiot!
OK ending to a dumb story by JPB. But more revenge is necessary . He should be keeping at least generally aware of any new relationships she starts to have and then contacting and warning every single one of the new men of what she has done and will undoubtedly continue to do. It's the right thing to do, lol.
P.S. I don't believe that there are many, if any, women who are as big a sluts as "Edie"
Always in cash and NEVER in WRITING!
I cannot fathom being so calculating as to wait several months.
The jerkin off while watching was disgusting.
Last, most previous commenter: Why do you keep reading his stories?
Great BTB ending to "Just Plain Bob's" story What to do about Edie. Very creative. 5 stars
You Know
Maybe the cunt should have died in the end. This is fiction, isn't it? That would have made a great final to do. I hate cheating cunts.
He would have been crazy to send the letter since those 3 guys would have been working out some ways to get revenge on him.
Nice but I thought you would throw this back in her face: and what kind of woman who loved her husband would hop in bed with another man behind his back?"
It was powerfully good. And that's some original and creative revenge.
Nice finish to a great story - liked you both before, together you compliment each other. Thank you for your story!
Better than the original, but still not much revenge. He should have at least told the realtors 's wife.
I can't give you a reason to hate this Story?...So I'll just say I like it..5 Stars ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
It has been way over 6 months, its been over 6 years, its been over 13 years, and still no stories from you here at lit.
I was looking forward to a story from a REAL author. lol
Excellent alternate ending. Well written with plausible plot elements regarding the revenge elements.
"Who the fuck is Shelley?"
His new girlfriend - don't you read for comprehension?
Never confess to crimes in writing. Seriously not a good idea.
Elaborate revenge is sometimes entertaining, but not in this case. Hubbies reaction to Edie's poolside and bedroom performance called for personal confrontation between husband and wife, not schemes and dreams.
That final nail in the coffin was missed and took away a star.
4/5
You had a 5* right up until the end! You couldn’t stick the landing. Lol. Still a 100 times better than the original.
Ohio,
I really enjoyed the way your character got revenge on the cheating males. I think a little more pain (mental or physical) is called for for Edie!!! Great job. BTB!!!
Someone tries to do a sequel or continue someone else's story it just doesn't measure up. You gave it the old college try but this one is a fail.
Any guy that would do what you say if he did it should’ve been shot. This was the most cuckolded way of getting out of any marriage. Revenge is only revenge if the person knows you were getting revenge on them
This Edie confession doesn't feel like the one from the original story.
