Original and well written. Talking to each other would have saved a lot of grief - but it wouldn't have made much of a story.

5 Stars. Nicely done...oh how just tiny seeds of doubt can rapidly become the trigger for disaster. Luck played a big part there....if the wife hadn't wised up and gone to cunselling who knows where the game would have ended.
Just another story about a man who sacrifices his happiness for an ungrateful wife and family
I can’t say enough about this series , it grabbed me by the balls in chapter 1 , squeezed them almost painfully in chapter 2 and let them and my prostrate do what comes naturally in chapter 3 . I wouldn’t have been dissatisfied if I had paid for this story . You have a great talent at storytelling! This is worth all the stars in the heavens ! Thank you .
I like reconciliation stories where there is no cheating involved but just neglect. I can identify with the man getting together with the wife again so much more if the man doesn't have to forgive cheating.
3 stars for a marginal RAAC kind of story.
There were way too many places that this story could go off the rails, ending in divorce.
You keep playing with fire eventually, you will get burned.
Lol how was this a RAAC, let alone a "marginal" one. There were suspicions, misunderstandings, hurt feelings, insecurities, and poor communication. But a RAAC? Just lolz.
Brilliant insight into our legal system and the disaster it has become for relationships. But not for the marriage counsel industry I guess. Pretty invasive, most of the counselors are that way, they think they're smarter than everybody else, an Institutional or personal arrogance that creeps in, which allows them to intervene where they shouldn't and direct things that become damaging. The other part you leave out is they usually want to keep you coming back for more and more and more. Follow the money.
Interesting. You've put that's been wife back, albeit with very weak sexual connection only. The rest of the Wife and Kids' damage to the husband's mental state has not changed. The damage from the lost job may not be repairable, but the so called counselor didn't do anything about that. So the kids are still in their selfish La La Land, even if Mom has come out of part of hers. And unfortunately that will probably follow them in their patterns will be established for the rest of their lives by the damage the mom has exhibited and influenced into them.
Yeah the wife definitely cheated and the counselor is kinda of doing her job and kinda of not she knows the wife cheated and not telling the husband that part is doing her job her lying to the husband and telling him something that's bullshit is not means she is part of the wife cheating on him she basically admitted that to the husband but he is too much of a cuck bitch to see the truth sorry but no wife that always stands against her husband the way this wife did is going to stay true to him cause the husband showed he is not a man so she's fucking other men trying to find a real man but a real man won't help a woman cheat on her husband another proof he was no man is that he lets his own kids walk all over him he needs to grow a pair of balls and leave his slut of a wife cause she is fucking around on him and his kids know she is but his kids don't respect him as a man cause they know he isn't a man so they are on the sluts side
To nixrox this story had a cuck bitch for a husband you know not a man it would never end up in a divorce cause cuck bitches has no balls everyone with common sense knows the wife is really cheating on him trying to find a man but the problem there she will never find a man like that cause a man wont help a woman cheat on her husband
Some of the negative comments here are absolutely insane. This is a story about two people who are not communicating and who almost lost their relationship because of it, that's it. Both of them clearly love each other, both of them clearly remained faithful to each other and both of them clearly want to have a better marriage. The insults thrown at either the female or male lead for their behavior here leads me to believe that a substantial contingent of readers here are either woefully inexperienced, or inadequate when it comes to personal and romantic relationships. It's scary.
That being said, I thought the story was cute. It tackled several serious issues with a lot of humor and creativity and was practically so wholesome that it took me a second to remember that a central plot point was an erotic blow job. Overall, I say well done to the author. 5/5
His family are "takers". With everything that the wife and children have done (mainly) the wife. I would have planned an exit strategy and executed it with the children graduating high school.
After thoroughly reading this story, I still can't figure how the Bozos commenting say she is cheating, or the husbands thinking his kids would not have been affected had he taken his "dream" job at a time when his kids are in their last couple of years of high school! Realistically my patents did that to me in my senior year of high school. I resented my father for years afterwards and went thru several rebellious years hating my dad for not letting me graduate with my friends. I was in my late 20's before we reconciled. Yes, the husband relented, but sulked about it, blaming his wife so she in turn responded accordingly. Everybody have a good hissy fit now!
I can't believe some of the things people are reading into this one. Sometimes a story is just a story; a well written, enjoyable story.
Said before I will say it again he's a pussy and like the fake counselor who helped turn him into a cuck bitch don't know the law worth a damn his wife most definitely cheated on him the counselor set it up and to protect them came up with hypnotizing her as fall back plan and so to add on that he is cuck bitch with no balls he's a stupid cuck bitch that part however don't surprise me all cuck bitches are stupid he couldn't clearly see the disrespect all throughout his marriage and so on hell even his kids disrespected him cause he's nothing but a cuck bitch nobody respects a cuck cause they're not a man
Well done. I liked this a lot it captured the issues lots of relationships have i.e. the need to “turn toward” and not “turn away” from your partner when it comes to communicating. I thought it well written with some light moments that helped carry it along. Nobody did anything terrible, no vows were broken so no need for the negative comments that have been made. Thanks for the good work.
I feel like this story is more true for most marriages in trouble than any of the cheating ones in the LW category. This one renews my hope in relationships and I especially like that none of them have ever cheated (even though the wife thought he might have and wasted 6 grand investigating).
