Looking for two stories, one a wife asks permission for a date and it goes further than expected, and one about a wife consoling a bereaved man

[sjmbsrf]

First story I am looking for is where a LW falls for a young man (possibly a coworker, not sure) who has moved into the area. She asks permission to go on a date, husband not keen and spies on her as she has a "nightcap" with the BF. Husband hears his wife enjoying sex with the young man. I'm hazy on the next part but i think she asks/goes for further dates. Eventually hubby has enough and punches the BF, I think that happens at a neighbourhood party or BBQ. I think I recall that the couplle reconcile in the end, but I may be mistaken about that.

Second story is about a LW who cheats and she is not at all sorry, maintaining that she is consoling a man whose wife (and possibly daughter, but I'm not 100% sure) were killed in a crash recently. Rather than being apologetic she sees the husband's disapproval as uncharitable. She is resolutely unrepentant and goes to the man's house regularly to help out as well as have sex. Eventually husband leaves and I think he finds out the wife's boyfriend is a fraud, but again I'm not absolutely positive about this last point.

Any help finding either or both of these stories would be very much appreciated, thank you

I think the second story is "Something to Talk About" by nici. It looks like it has been removed. There are many sequels written that are still published here. That set the pace for "February Sucks" for writing sequels

Miranda, A Lost Wife by Cagivagurl is the first one​

Thank you so much to both Guenthar and Miranda for replying and pointing me in the right direction on both stories, I am really appreciative and thankful for their time and effort in replying to me.

Miranda pointed me to the story I had read and lost, and Guenthar directed me to the root of the many stories generated by the great story by Nici, "Something to Talk About." While i had seemingly read an extrapolation or alternative ending to this powerful story, the original with its provocative premise and potentially underdeveloped ending seems to have generated a variety of continuations.

I have searched and found several "alternative endings" but none that match my recollection; I'd be very grateful if anyone could suggest alternative endings or derivatives that they have read or come across.

Many thanks again and sincere appreciation to both Miranda and Guenthar, I am so in awe of this forum and the willingness of authors and readers to help each other out

Nici’s story is still around. It’s called “Something We Have to Talk About” and has two official sequels and multiple unofficial ones. https://www.literotica.com/s/something-we-have-to-talk-about

Searching for that specific title in the search box should help. I also wrote an essay about it (and done other stuff) called “We Need to Talk… About Plagiarism” that has several search strings that I used to find them while researching it.

Thank you very much NTH, really appreciate your help again. I will search as you suggest and I'm sure I will find the one I am looking for. I read your article on plagiarism, it is fascinating as well as informative. I can see where a lot of problems can arise, especially on a site such as Literotica which is open to a wide range of authors and commentators, with greater or lesser experience and perspective. I'm sorry that you and so many other authors experience abuse, I think it is great that you all put in great efforts and creativity to entertain us all, thank you

I’m sure I have read the second one you are looking for but can’t find it. I did find a similar one which you might want to read whilst the search goes on!

I love these stories.

I remembered another similar story about helping a friend who is dying

It’s also by Cagivagurl

Thank you so much leofric35, this is definitely one of the stories that I had read and could not rediscover. This tension between a man and his traditional expectations for fidelity and a spouse who somehow feels the exceptional circumstances trump tradition, is exactly the thread that I was interested in and which got my passions inflamed due to the seemingly flagrant and disrespectful lack of appreciation of the MC and his love and self-esteem. Great story, and I am also looking forward to reading the other story you suggested https://www.literotica.com/s/consequences-of-chrissies-new-love as it sounds like it also deals with the same issues. Many thanks again
