Ooooh, great pic! I was wondering how that would work out. It's definitely one that will need some explaining.

“God, I hate you, bitch”

I love that. It takes almost all of deadliness out of the sin even though you can taste it. I need more friends like that.

Mustang Sally said:

Yeah - I am real, I am very boring, and I am completely baffled that someone who is not my husband would even want me for a primarily sexual relationship.

Honestly, you might be a little less envious if you knew alllllll the details. I'm regularly torn between thinking this is amazing and wondering WTF I'm doing. Plus the guilt over lying to and spending time away from my children. But I guess the good outweighs the bad because we've been doing it for two years and counting!

Ah then it must be envy. Just a little clue in your tone of "voice". But trust me sweetheart you have NOTHING to be envious of.

Justadesperatewifeandmom said:

haha. Well there is a big downside to friends like that. If you are the type that wants to cry and complain about wrongs and needs honest to god sympathy. Half the time you will get "oh, suck it up buttercup, there is a lot worse shit out there" or if we are feeling especially nice something like "have a shot" "want a vibrator to anonymously send with a note that says go fuck yourself" "want some glitter to mail them" "want me to stand guard so you can key their car". It will be ok and the world shall be rainbows and glitter coming out of your ass is never muttered.

Of course, just to be a bitch, I point out, you know you are doing the first thing I said most women do when confronted with jealousy. downplay the object of the jealousy. Stop that shit. Enjoy the sin of Pride after all the lack of practice is also the reason behind the first statement.

And, how much time are your really spending away, a couple hours when they are not asleep at most. and the time they are asleep doesn't count. That time makes up for the interrupted bathroom breaks, showers, phone calls, and everything else. in my experience, hell you can hide in the back of a closet, and when they want you, they will find you

Fair - that is why we have lit.

No?

Mustang Sally said:

Oh, that is quite funny, actually. I completely failed to notice that's what I was doing. I think (beyond a lack of pride) that part of the motivation for such behaviour is wanting to reduce any negative feelings (envy) in the other, to make you feel better and diffuse any hint of conflict.

But here, let me try that again: Yes, it is fantastic to be able to have a break from my children and my everyday life to go off and have exciting sex with a charming man.

(Actually, since he lives two hours away, I tend to be gone for 24+ hours. )

Justadesperatewifeandmom said:

haha. Well at least there is a place to be a pervert. And thank you. I don't really write like an author though. It is for sure a different style. My style lacks the finesse of something heavily worked, the prolific use of adjectives to visualize a scene, clean easy to follow structure, often any structure at all, usage of proper grammar and sentence structure, obviously a complete lack of editing etc etc. In some ways. I do think it is easier to read for those who don't read, but likely, way less enjoyable for those who do.

Thanks for the explanation ... and I get it. Even I as a guy have those moments where I think what I might do differently if I had it to do over again. And I too am envious of guys who have the wife that can't get enough of them ... that wasn't me. Thanks for being very real and still SEXY AS HELL!!!

I read across a host of genres and writing styles. I read Clive Cussler and his nautical style of $50 words. I read short story anthologies - Best American Short Stories and Mystery Stories (BASS and BAMS) every year, along with horror and fantasy. Each have no "official style." The written word is enjoyable when it's coherent, and your confessionals are, though different from the majority of my reading, very welcomed and I look forward to them.

Envy is one of the sins I don't really suffer from, so don't have much insight there. I think one of the very powerful lessons I got from my father all those years ago was that, if there is something you want, and want badly, start working and keep going until you get there. LOL - it was a lesson that caused me to work toward things and gather things and once I got there, have the realization that it wasn't really what I wanted. Life is tricky like that.

I'd rather just simply be happy and enjoy the ride.

Envy

Surely the antithesis of envy is contentment, being happy with your lot can take much of the stress out of our lives.

Justadesperatewifeandmom said:

You are welcome. And I will be honest, even if everything was perfect, I'd still have the taste for something new sometimes.



well thank you. Hopefully I don't post too many 1am confessions, those are less than coherent lol.



Well cool, thanks.



I am sure there is, just not me lol



I am big on the instant gratification sins. But yes, I do know the be careful what you wish for lesson.

So Envy. The backstory and my confession

It is kind of a middle of the road sin for me. Here, as a woman in ampics, there are several things one could be envious of. There are many young, beautiful, thin, fit, 20something women just starting their lives with their whole futures ahead of them. Though, really, I am not all that envious. I had my time, I had a lot of fun, had a lot of crap, a lot of interesting, wonderful experiences, and yes it may make me nostalgic, but not really envious, I am not sure I would want to actually have to live the 20 years over again. However, I did think that would get the envy point across, as envy in females is often based on age and attractiveness, so I went with that set up.

Then we have Allia, who I see a lot of parallels between her and I, who seems to always be going off to wonderful places and doing awesome things. For a bit, I am a little envious, but then I think about the actual traveling, probably constant lines, plane, trains, security, regularly missing the comforts of home. Really, I don't think it would be for me. I think it would be too much stress.

Then I am happily reading the lit threads, and check out what Mustang Sally is doing over there. Thank you Sally for letting me use you as my envy inspiration. Anyway, it finally hits me, she is 40 like me, going through a bit of a midlife crisis like me, she is a very real, everyday type woman, and probably even a little bit "boring".... just like me. And....And... SHE is happily heading over to a regular date with her boyfriend while her husband updates that she has left. Oh that is envy. She has what I have been trying and failing to accomplish for a while. And yeah, yeah, I know we see people say that all the time on lit. But how many are real everyday people, have some similarity to me. Hell, how many are real at all. She is.

So the second picture was taken as I looked at her thread and realized I was feeling true, unadulterated envy.

Ok, my girlfriends and I aren't the sweetest most perfect people. Sure, we could get a new hair cut or buy a new outfit and if it looks fine, they will say it is cute and all. Fine, whatever. Now, the most real, honest, sincere compliment we give is "God, I hate you". ok actually, it is "God, I hate you, bitch" but I am trying to pretend we are nice. I am not sure if other women do this, or if other women have that flash where they feel it and instead just say all the pretty and correct things to hide that flash of envy, but with my friends, that is the most sincere compliment you can get. That woman is sitting there, so jealous of you, she can taste it.

Now, I think most women confronted by that kind of jealously either try to downplay the object of that jealousy, or handle it with grace using niceties or platitudes. That is actually not how my friends and I handle that. The correct response to that most honest compliment is along the lines of "I'd totally hate me too, but alas, it is awesome to be me and sucks to be you, haha" And continue to bask in the glory of that wonderful and most sincere compliment of the other's actual envy. Obviously, I have a fairly small circle of female friends lol.

I digress. Miss Sally, if any part of you enjoys knowing there is a woman out there so jealous of you, she can taste it, know there is a woman sitting in Florida feeling just that, and she captured the moment with a picture. haha.

Love this.
Gives me the same pang of envy, you have articulated a desire that pretty much most people have within them. Is it a grass is greener thing?
What makes it all the more resonant is the answer(and subsequent answers) from Sally, it's not perfect and it's not without some sacrifice but it is very rewarding and invigorating. Also it fulfills a need she has
Some seriously deep topics in this stretch of the thread, love your work.
Am also a serious fan of your pics, which is by extension, a fan of you.
