No better teacher than Ms. French. If EMU ever finances an endowed chair in Human Sexuality, she's got it locked. And you can always trust Pauline to be Pauline. Super story.

He was an ass to have married her in the first place. One can equate him being an ass to him being quite stupid.

miket0422miket042210 months ago

Pretty standard JPB fare.

Her wanting to date others in highschool is completely understandable and probably smart. At least she was up front about it. So, taking her back the first time makes sense.

When she started lying in college to date others it should have been completely over. Letting her have a 3rd chance was stupidity at it's finest.

But, since it is a standard JPB story it was expected.

Yeah, agree about it being formula JPB.

No surprises anywhere with the story.

Tx77TumbleweedTx77Tumbleweed10 months ago

This was your standard fare without anything to distinguish it from most of your other “high school romance” stories. The main character is Bill Murray in Groundhog Day without finally getting it right. 4 stars

Two morons as main characters. Very derivative.

Good story about a very foolish young man, but would his STD prove infidelity? Can he prove he didn't get it from someone else?

SwordWielderSwordWielder10 months ago

Good story. Seems like she is unwilling to be faithful, and she will regret it for the rest of her life.

Sorry to say Iove jpb stories , but this one reads like something JPB AI would write.

demanderdemander10 months ago

No idea why he would stay with her, and even be tempted to do so after she cheated after the marriage. Using the 'love' word as an explanation doesn't seem right. Most guys would have hated her. I do. D

AnonymousAnonymous10 months ago

Sheesh, man, I've read this same story from you 85 times or more. Only the names change. Not sure if it reflects poorly on your lack of variety or my lack of discernment. (I was kinda hopin' for a Pauline French story.) Anyway, it was a good 'un. Five stars.

deependerdeepender10 months ago

This story is extremely familiar. Feels like a posting composed of two or three others.

AnonymousAnonymous10 months ago

At least he divorced her. Knowing what he knew about her from the past probably should have stopped him from marrying her in the first place. But then you wouldn't have a story. Nicely done. Fun to see Pauline French and the rest of the gang.

Same old, same old. Been done a hundred times before and quite often by this author. Are all his protagonist’s that stupid?

JPB, you have been around quite some time. I wonder, when are you growing out of the highschool/college days?

Great until the ending like the previous story I read by another writer the ending lacked

AnonymousAnonymous10 months ago

I enjoy your stories a lot but this one left me pretty cold. I think I lost interest in the MC when he got married to her despite her having shown she could not be faithful.

AnonymousAnonymous10 months ago

She was clearly a slut from day one. To insist that she wanted to know if there were any differences between him and other guys is BS. He was even a bigger fool for forgiving and trying to trust her again and again.

A simple but effective story done the JPB way. They are hard to beat,

Scores 5/5 well done!!!!

EZ8ltEZ8lt10 months ago

Every time I read a story where the main character gets back with a serial cheater just as easily like here I know the ending already so it's an automatic 1 star rating.

AnonymousAnonymous10 months ago

Good story until you introduced the eleven inch cock. That piece of nonsense spoiled it for me and cost you a reduction from five stars to three.

offkilter123offkilter12310 months ago

I don’t think it’s a repost. Bob just keeps re-writing the same story over and over.

AnonymousAnonymous10 months ago

Trust was broken, sure. But she was downright NASTY when caught. That speaks volumes to how little she's capable of love. I'm sure she enjoys BEING LOVED. Most people, even shitty people, really enjoy that feeling. But she's angry about being exposed at work? She's not sobbing and pleading? Her first emotions aren't ones of love, but completely selfish behavior. No trust, zero respect, zero honest communication, and that translates into zero love. He's a warm fuzzy feeling she gets. He's a slave in her eyes, a thing to be used for emotional comfort.

This isn't a story about, 'love not being enough'. She has no concept of love. That would usually fall under an actual mistake that seriously hurts the relationship....like the cliche' 'getting drunk and cheating'. Like...you KNOW respect, love, and trust are all there...but the pain is too much. This is just a rebound chick that gambled and lost....no concept of love.

AnonymousAnonymous10 months ago

No clue why anyone would stay with her after her second self-absorbed slutting around in college. On the one hand I feel sorry for the MC. On the other hand, he was a complete idiot to ever get back with the skank whore. Single is infinitely better than betrayed.

PBD2022PBD202210 months ago

Why did you willingly jump into a relationship who has low morality. She made a fool out of you not only once but twice. You deserve all the heartache you get. At least you'll know not to think with your stick

The MC knew what she was...

and still he went through married her.

I mean this MC is one big loser.

All women he can get were certified sluts.

Serves him right.

Decent story, but he should have known better. Once a cheater always a cheater.

JPB is an institution on this site. I greatly appreciate his incredible industry, and commendable wriring.

However, he has written this story too many times.

skruff101skruff10110 months ago

Just another one of JPB’s college morons stories, they go something like this.

Boy and girl meet (usually in kindergarten) they are inseparable until the last couple of years in high school, then little miss ‘butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth’ dumps her true love for the fun of finding better, he naturally gets a case of the shits and wants nothing to do with her.

Then comes college where he avoids her until he doesn’t, they give it another go but a leopard doesn’t change its spots and life turns to shit again.

After a brief interlude and for some unfathomable reason they get back together and would you believe the insanity, get married, which lasts six years when those leopard spots rear their head once more.

After all that we can take for granted two things; No1 the guy got what he deserved after assuming she was going to treat him any different.

No2 JPB has a very low opinion of American teenagers.

InfosaugerInfosauger10 months ago

Is this a reposting? I think I already read this story - or at least a very similar one.

nixroxnixrox10 months ago

3 stars - just one more of the standard JPB 'dump the stupid slut' stories to add to the 857 other 'NO EMOTIONAL' 'stupid dump the slut' stories.

JPB's stories are so similar - they are boring - just the facts - no anger, no yelling, no angst, no real caring and that is just so sad.

AnonymousAnonymous10 months ago

The very epitome of an “average” LW trope. Entertaining, but ultimately not very satisfying.

afanoffanlitafanoffanlit10 months ago

Love is also a choice…this idea that he can never get over a cheating bitch over and over just means he’s a masochist. How do you love someone who cheats on you after you took them back once? The logic eludes me…but I maintain that loving someone who hurts you is a sign of a mental health issue.

10 Big Blazing Stars for JPB, What a Great Story, Great Writing, Great Tricky premise, Such a True Story about some folks. I have known Serial Liars that just couldn't help themselves. She was Not Only a serial Liar but a serial Cheater. She can never stop cheating or lying. Similar to my last wife Dee Dee. Every time she left the house she would come back with at least one guys phone number. Everytime left the house, she would call on of them to come over for at least a quickie! It took me so long to get suspicious, then once I was and started watching more carefully, it was a disaster, constant broken hearts for me. LOL She was so similar to this young lady Kathy. Thks for the effort. Buster2U

4, good story, the MC felt human but darn was that a rushed ending.

inka2222inka222210 months ago

2.5 stars. Would have been 1 star if he trusted her fully. As it is, -1 stars for him being an idiot and agreeing to marry a lying cheating ho, even with prenup (if she didn't have a blonde moment and ASKED him about fucking the guy, and instead did it on the sly, he would have never found out). And -1.5 stars for keeping loving the lying skank. No reason to love her. AT ALL. I think this is ridiculous, and super lazy unrealistic writing, no man with sane working brain would love a cheater like that.

Avalon101Avalon10110 months ago

This was supposed to be a story about a lie. There were many lies in this story not just one. JPB is really a bad author exact same story every time. Every time.

AnonymousAnonymous10 months ago

Sex seemed to be a recreational activity for both of the main characters, so cheating after marriage was almost expected. Not much tension to the story.

3*. Would have given it more, but the MC was just a moron.

It would have been good to understand why Kathy acted as she did, particularly in view of the pre-nup. Also married for years and nothing about children?

You refreshed one of your old stories, but it’s always fun to hear about Pauline. 3.8*

AnonymousAnonymous10 months ago

The dipshit deserved it. He knew from very early on that she was a cheating slut and still married her.

AnonymousAnonymous10 months ago

You have written 858 stories and, as far as I can tell from my sampling of them, the are all the same. Guy meets girl when young. He loves her. She's a slut. They break up. He winds up with her anyway and is then surprised that she is a slut. And your MC always says something like this when they break up in school: "It means I've learned you can't be trusted so I don't need to waste any more time on you."

AnonymousAnonymous10 months ago

Do you realize you type (can't really call it writing) the same story over and over?

.

They meet when young and seem destined to be together for the rest of their lives. He finds out she's seeing other guys. She can't understand his problem. They break up. He dates others, and it's fun but there's no future for them. She comes back, promising to be faithful. Cut to the chase, a few months later they are married. The first years are great, but then she cheats again. She promises she won't do it again, but they divorce.

.

How many of your stories follow the same cliched outline?

Why would he give her a THIRD chance? He kind of asked for it, making it really hard to feel sorry for him....

sbrooks103xsbrooks103x10 months ago

I don't think he was a fool, since he got and enforced a pre-nup. SHE was actually the fool, cheating when there was a pre-nup.

\

Having said that, after the second offense, the most he should have given her was a FWB.

I know Pauline French is am often used character for this author but I can't shake the feeling this story is a recycled entry.

Since I have not read all 800 plus stories this author may of written the story I going make a suggestion that may have already been written. Let Pauline French end up with the MC at least once. I think she deserves to win at least once.

He knew exactly what he was marrying, but took a chance on her. They both lost. Good one Bob.

AnonymousAnonymous10 months ago

Good story, about a man held hostage by his own emotions, when he knew better. The conflict is not with Kathy, it is within himself, the hardest with which to deal. The deal is not "How stupid is he?" it's "Wow, he really loves and wants her..."

Upon her latest attempt to return to him.... "When we first met I knew that you were the one I was meant for, but I needed to make sure. I mean I was young so what did I really know about anything? I've dated dozens of guys..."

Easy response to the campus bicycle...

"Pass"

I enjoy your work

AnonymousAnonymous10 months ago

What did he expect? She lied to him and cheated on him repeatedly for almost the entire time he knew her. He got what he married so he got what he deserved. So a woman who has that little respect, ethics, morals, and holds her husband as some kind of fall back sucker, he found that kind of woman to be a loving loyal friend and partner? What the fuck did they talk about, what deep soul searching conversations did they have. How could he not foresee what a cheating deceitful guiltless whore she was? Guess he knows now. He should send Mr. Big Dick a Thank You card that he discovered what a worthless piece of shit she was before they had children. And then he'd also have to wonder who their father was.

AnonymousAnonymous10 months ago

Great writer with many pelts on the wall.

I stopped reading in less than 1 page. Same set up I have seen dozens of times from the writer. Maybe this road leads elsewhere, maybe it doesn't. A journey abandoned.

No rating.

AnonymousAnonymous10 months ago

A so-so story about an idiot and a slut, neither of which have the brains God gave a tree stump. I half expect you'll be posting a chapter 2 about them getting remarried so she can cheat on him again...
