Title: Calm After the Storm...

Jay continues to be the king of dumbasses. Did that fool just try to justify why he cheated. Screw him. Tess has a lot of faults but this weak ass man cheated on her with the one woman who he knew would hurt her. Had he handled his business and nipped things in the bud with that tramp Toni in the first place none of this would be happening but he wanted his "ego stroked" and apparently his dick too. He's incredibly weak and Tess deserves a real man to hold her down. So what if he tells her she's perfect all the time, words are meaningless, actions speak loud and clear and his action show him to be a trifling son of a bitch. Maybe there will be hope for him when he can stop making excuses for what he did. A real man would have asserted how he felt when things were going wrong but instead he cheats not only phycially but emotionally. An affair isn't just sex, he emotionally cheated on her with Toni. That is the ultimate betrayal.  

I'm hoping Tess does to him what he did to her and not talk to him for six months and let him sit and wallow in his misery before or if she decides to take him back. I wouldn't mind seeing a new man enter the mix. A good man. A real man. One who is sure of himself. One who will treat like she deserves. I bet if weak ass Jay see him, maybe it will inspire him to grow a pair. However it ends, I just want Tess to be happy. I'm still rooting for her. I hope she can have another baby and carry it to term.

As for that damn Eric. Tears won't help now when people find out he was part of that set up with that trick Toni. He needs to have a special kind of ass beating. He and Toni deserve to have their entire lives destroyed. They set out to deliberately destroy a marriage. They are sociopaths and deserve to rot in the fiery pits of the hottest hell. 

 

Great update. Please Please Please don't leave us hanging. This story is so good.

Jay opening up about his part in the damage to their marriage is a GOOD THING, and admitting the issue is a stet, but he does need to talk tio his parents, especally is father, b/c seeing him with that other woman messed him up, like I said before his and Tess being apart for a while will make them STRONGER.. I still have hope for this couple.

Eric amazed me by admitting that he was part of their problem, I still say he has something to do with Toni sending that pic to Tess, its just too "Neat" that she was at the same hotel that Eric was in.

OK I know Tess is angry, but don't put all the blame on Jay, you had alot to do with the damage to your marriage, keeping secrets, not telling Jay that you were not only pregnant TWICE, but miscarried BOTH TIMES, and that you were made to have an ABORTION... IMHO she still never got over how Eric treated her, and put those feelings onto Jay, in a way YOU became just like ERIC, and I hope you get stronger, and give Jay and your MARRIAGE and REAL CHANCE.

Still rooting for an HEA.

Go Tess get strong and clean all them men out your life. She needs serious counseling before she can move forward or into another relationship. Jay and his weak ass does too and he can bring trifling Eric with him. Maybe they can get a group discount. Jay should also invest some of his money in knee pad for all the grove king he needs to do.

Tess you have every right to pissed at Jay but you never truly openned up to Jay. You can't ne married to someone and not honest with who you are with the one that you love. They each need to seek therapy Tess needs to keep going to hers and Jay needs to find a therapist period.   What else happened in Jay's life to make him so insecure?   He knew that having contact with Honi would torpedo his marriage so why allow it?  Jay I can't be on your anymore as you are stuck on stupid!! I don't hate you that position is reserved for Eric even though he saved her life.  Why did Jay risk it all only to gain a conscious as she put her lips on his thang? Why is so stupid where Honi and s concerned?  This whole situation is a hot mess between two equally stupid people, who deserve each other! Great update. The old Tess would have filed immediately for a divorce,  this new has matured threw her stupidity. Jay is feeling guilty as he should for creating the circumstances that lead to Tess' s brain damaged reaction to his infidelity. Still not a great fan of Tess but I sort of empathize. Wish Eric would drop dead aleady!! Jay I am so disappointed in you and I have lost all respect for you!!

Tess have some serious issues about love. Yes Jay was stupid and it was a setup by Eric but she need to get the stick out of her ass. Mad at Jasmine and malik they need to stay in their marriage and they should have called Jay when they found her and not a week later.

As of now, I don't have much sympathy for Tess. I mean yea she was pushed to her limit, but she did have a hand in putting herself in that situation. When in a marriage, you're suppose to share everything and be strong for one another. She doesn't get the concept at all. I'm not saying she should be weak, but she should be understanding and compassionate about her husband. The fact that he kept putting emphasis on how he thought she was perfect should've shown how much he loved and adored her, but instead she pushed him away. Yea Jay fucked up and there's no excuse for getting himself in those situations, but Tess can't keep playing the victim if she keeps intentionally hurting and pushing him away. Overall I'm loving the story so far. I've obviously became attached to the characters.

Glad I got my rant out and I feel a bit better.  Now it would be great if Eric called Tess and that ringtone is the same one she got at the hotel with the video or if Jay sees Toni and goes off on her sending the video and pushing Tess to the edge.  I would love for Toni to confess everything, but she's a hard slut...i mean nut to crack.  

This couple still needs time apart to decide if they want to continue.  I agree with another reviewer:  keep everybody out of your damn business and talk to one another. 

Tess needs to stop being so mean and angry--I think Jay is afraid of her.  If he don't stand up now, he will forever wear the panties in the relationship.

Good--things can only go up for Tess now, bc it seems as though she only cares about her job, and maybe Eric.  Jay needs to stop begging, crying, and apologizing.   

This chick is too much drama and I am not feeling her love for Jay at this point. She even wakes up pissed off.

Eric didn't tell anyone she was in the hospital for a week, even though she flatlined? Apparently, he called Malik, after several days had past--why not her mom or Jas or even Jay? 

I am tired of Jay letting everyone dog him...come on man and put your big boy's pants on and call a lawyer.

Title: Calm After the Storm...

I keep checking the website like an addict looking for updates to this story.  Neither one will improve until both understand their role in their marriage being the way it is.  Yes, Jay broke his marriage vows d/t selfishness and insecurities.  Tess wasn't a good partner by also displaying selfish actions and her insecurities.  Until that is acknowledged and addressed they will not be able to move forward.  Everytime a struggle will come up and we all know life will surely hand them more struggles they will not seek support from each other but other things:  so far alcohol and drugs for Tess and other women for Jay.   Should Jay feel like shit, Yes.  Should Tess feel like shit, Yes.  They both have to stop talking to other people ( malik, brothers, jasmine ) etc and start talking to each other.  I think there is hope and I truly do hope they can come back from this if they start opening up.  They need individual counseling and couple counseling and probably a separation for like 6 mos and just date again and realize why they chose each other for marriage, again, while keeping everybody out of their business.  Others may try to be helpful with advice but can ultimately be hurtful.  Sometimes you have to let your friends, family make those decisions and mistakes on their own to learn.   I will probably cry if they do get a HEA, just because of all the BS they have gone through.

Guess Eric is the hero right now, but he don't really want Tess--he just didn't want to lose.  I don't think Eric thought that Tess was try to kill herself.  Why didn't she call Jas or even Malik?

Can't get over Jas doing what she did.  She shouldn't have waited a week to contact Tess and then to blab their business to Tess's mom--she sure didn't tell all the stuff Tess had did. 

Jay should have moved out to give Tess space, but been inher face everyday begging forgiveness.  Now when Tess finds out her 'friend' Eric helped caused the downfall of her marriage will she knee him in the balls?  As for Toni, well Toni was Toni.  Tess needs to heal away from everybody, and I mean everybody and Jay needs to get a catch a break and find out what is really going on.

Jay STILL doesn't realize what he did.  He is still just thinking about himself.  And Toni is a piece of work, sending that video to Tess.  I am usually a peaceful person, but at this point, she has GOT to go...PERMANENTLY.  And Tess,....she needs to take some time out for herself and when she can get up,...she needs to be strong. Maybe Jay will eventually figure out how much he hurt her, but...I don't know.  Regardless, she has to be strong for herself. Looking forward to reading more.

Wow she went ballistic but that's what he get although I am proud of him for telling her. He shouldn't known that skank was up to. Something instead he let his bruised ego make him do the one most crucial thing that he knew would hurt his wife with the one person who would hurt her the most. He didn't care until to late. She needed space to think & clear her head then that skank sent that video Now THAT threw me I was like oh no, so it shows she had a devious plan all along. Tess taking all those pills yo numb herself I kinda got but her calling Eric of all people after realizing what she did don't like think she should have called Jay or Jaz. So now she's been gone a week find out she's in the hospital what's going on.

Getting better & better update soon

No matter how this story turns out the biggest notice is that Toni and Eric wins, Tess don't need no make up with Jay because Toni will always be there and Eric will always bask in the knowledge that he saw Jay no amount of happy endings with Jay can erase that ever, let Tess be her own powerhouse, having a happy ending with just her and her cats lol, but Tess only needs her friend Jasmine.

Title: And Everything Went Dark....

Wow! I was gutted when Jay met Tony at the coffee shop and he actually entertained her company. I was astounded when he actually met her for lunch and then just flabbergasted when he went back to the hotel with her. I nearly lost my mind when he allowed her to put his lips on his d*ck.

This does not excuse Miss Tess' behaviour. I'm not sure what to say about her. However, sometimes enough is enough.

I'm not sure what the deal is with Eric but I think he's just, as we say in the UK, a nasty piece of work. Pure unadulterated evil. Toni's loco with a side helping of crazy. And if they're working together let them be found out. As for Tess reaching the end of her tether seeing the video if this is an Slick Erick move then he needs to be found out and punished.

 

Ultimately I'd just like you to please give everyone a break, that is Jay, Tess, Jasmine and Malik. The four of them need a break from all of the drama. Especially Jasmine and Malik, as they're  bystanders.

While I do want to know what happens with Tess and Jay and I'd really like them to have their HEA, if it doesn't work out then I'm fine with that too. I now don't care either way. I want there to be a dream sequence where Jay and Tess can see the same thing, which is Mary J Blige singing "No More Drama" to them. Then they'll realise that they're better off without each other kind of like in "The Way We Were"  and break up. Because sometimes lead characters aren't meant to be together.

They have not grown together after two (?) years of marriage. They have not seemed to learn from past mistakes. They are not able to communicate effectively. And most importantly, they do not seem to  actively enjoy being with each other much less love each other. Seriously though after the last three chapters I say put them both out of their misery, Tess and Jay should break up for ever because they're just killing/hurting each other and it's painful to watch.

OK. I'm MAD and SAD at the sametime, Sad that Tess thought that suicide was the answer to her problems, and Sad for the state of Jay and Tess's marriage, but I know that they can mend this and have a REAL MARRIAGE.

OK now for the MAD part... mad a little at Tess b/c Eric is the the one that you call, what about Jasmine, that part thru me big time.

Second, I'm mad at Jasmine, her attitued is making my teeth itch, Malik was so right, there were too many people in Tess and Jay's marriage, and she is #1, all along she should have told Tess to TALK to her husband instead of jumping the gun and taking Tess's side in everything, and I thought Jay was you friend as well, he's also hurting, but I guess she doesn't care at all/

Lastly Toni needs to DISAPPEAR, I knew that HIEFFER was up to something, offering Jay sex with no strings GMAB. she ploted that from the day Tess beat her like she stole something, as for getting Tess's number, I know that SLEAZE Eric had something to do with it.

Maybe this time apart for Tess and Jay will get them on the right track and make them STRONGER.

Honestly, I don't like Tess. I understand Eric was wrong, but what's one suppose to do one the person you love won't love back. He wants to share his life with his wife, but she can't give him an ounce of hers. Yes I would've left if he was with another woman, but it definitely could've been prevented if she would've tried.

Jay your dumb ass, however I give him props for coming clean. He knew that Tess was going to live him but the pity party needs to stop. Jay get some therapy, talk about catching your father cheating on your mom and your guilt at keeping the secret from her. These are two are perfect for each other as they are both stupid!!

Oh Tess, please live. You deserve to know your worth and you deserve to be loved by someone who won't make excuses for their bad behavior. And I take back what I said about Jay being a collosal piece of shit. He is The King pile of shit. I hate this guy so much right now. He claims he loves her but instead of trying to figure her where about he's sitting at home feeling sorry for himself. He needs to pull a Kobe Bryant and start begging. He'd at least show a little concern that she just up an disappeared. I just can't with him. I'm still rooting for Tess to have her happy ending because I swear that woman has been through so much that it just seems all that she went through would have no meaning if she doesn't find some measure of happiness whether it be with someone new or with Jay after he has atoned that is.

As for the video someone sent her, I think Hoe-ni and Eric are in cahoots. It just seems way too convenient that Eric shows up when he does. I beg you on my hands and knees to please let those two get what they deserve. I think Tess should make good on her threat and have that trick blackballed all over the state. As for Eric, he needs an ass whupping so bad. 

This chapter almost broke me. I don't know if I can take any more bad news, it's really causing me anxiety. But it's so good I can't stop reading. Please don't keep  us waiting too long for the next update.

That's what I get for skimming the first half of the chapter with Jay and Toni.  Yes, Jay very much DID break his vows. That's the only correction I wanted to make to a prior review I gave.  This is way too much, lol! But, I trust you know what you are doing.

Wow, I am stunned.
