All Comments on 'All These Years!'

Though as always we will probably complain about the lack of details on the affair, how he discovered it, and more important, Why did she do it...

The Anon below was done by yours truly. Somehow I got logged out....

Only a brain-dead fool would attempt to write a story that involves specific laws (alimony and child-support), not bother to research the way such laws function, and then "pass off" any errors his ignorance causes in the story by saying that it "takes place in another universe"!

There is nowhere in the western world, in which a NEW spouse's income is taken into consideration as a factor in the awarding of either alimony OR child-support! The courts regard the new spouse as not being a party to the prior marriage and, as such, his/her income is untouchable.

In the REST of the world (basically the Arab/Muslim/Islamic countries, the cheating spouse and his/her "partner in adultery" would be either taken outside the village/town/city and stoned to death, or else taken to the roof of the highest building available and thrown off the roof. ( I read, once, of an instance in which the tallest building in the village was only two stories tall. They borrowed a helicopter from the military, took the adulterous couple up to 1,000 feet altitude, and threw them out of the chopper.)

I was excited to see your posting but I was a bit disappointed with the story because I thought it should be in non-erotic. No sex.

You've written better ones but this was a nice Monday read

. . . and then sicker! Parents may divorce each other; they never divorce their children if they want to keep that honorable title: Mother - Father.

what is the point of this story?

that adults can be angry 15 years later? Golly.

I never knew that before

In Pennsylvania, total household income of both parents is a factor in the determination of child support payments, and those payments can be reviewed and adjusted annually. Been there. The court is interested in the ability to pay. Otherwise, you could take a lesser job and plead indigence.

But it is fiction!! As dd clearly states in his introduction. No different than an abandonned cement truck crushing the unfaithful wife and her lover in their car. Great fantasy, but a messy reality -- physically and emotionally.

Until now I thought that I hated my 1st wife with unbridled passion beyond normal standards.

I stand corrected, I bow in your presence!

Did you read it before you submitted it. I wasted my time on this one. Good Luck on future stories.

Stupid

Did you really waste your time thinking this up...I hope your stories get better cuz this one stinks on ice.

Not enough of an idea to carry the story. Sort of like a bad country and western song, one refrain and repeated endlessly.

You might better have put this one aside until you write a story that it fits in to, condensing it a bit.

its a flash. use some imagination people. i thought it was effective. a moment. but it pretty much summed up what happened in the last 15 years.

So the rules of grammer and puncuation don't apply either?

I only wish you had thrown in some suffering by the bitch. She got off too easy.

'...as I advanced in your career'. Really? She advanced in his career?

I can understand a lot of compliants if this was longer but it is a 5 minute read. I agree with comment about laws with alimony and child support should have been researched just a little would have made better read; but the over all story was done as the dangerouslydead said he wanted it - revenge on courts and ex wives who have taken ex husbands in similar horror.

Keep writing - not your best but good effort. Appreciate that it was short.

Thank you for the read

Good thought, nice discussion and overall well written. Would have scored higher except the typos and bad grammer really detract. Recommend you get an editor, or at least wait a day to publish and read it to yourself out loud before you hit the send key.

There were some editing goofs that should have been caught but I liked the concept. A true bitch of an ex is being told how she was played for a sap for 15 years. Her ex husband and daughter milked her for money and destroyed her cozy relationship with her lover. It was clever how he kept his income sheltered with his girlfriend so that his wife had to pay alimony. I do have doubts about the alimony being increased based on her new husband's pay. I doubt that would happen. As to contributing to her daughter's car, trip, and tuition; the first two are optional and tuition is a common thing to be responsible for. <br><br>

But in the end the ex wife is shown to still be a real bitch so who cares what happens to her? She deserves it. <br><br>

The only thing that bugs me is anyone hanging on to their hate for 15 years. It starts to define who you are and a person defined by hate and revenge is not a pretty sight. Would you really want your kid to grow up that way or would it be better to get clear of the bitch and move on?

Really liked the concept & plot [even with the errors]. Would rather read a 100 of these types of stories as compared to the garbage the wimp authors [Matt M & wantswhiteboys] regurgitate over & over. Hats off to this author!

the errors hurt the read. I must admit, I make them too. I changed the name of the main character just a few paragraphs before the end of a story. Your concept was good. Keep writing.

I'm not among those who would suggest that this is a good story that needs a little fixing up. It needs a LOT - starting with the crappy stilted dialogue. It really wasn't worth the time spent to read it.

Please fulfill that final request! LOL

Lovely little story.

I know many ex-husbands that wish they could make that request of their ex's.

I can focus on the flow and story without being tied down to the nitpicky little things. Kind of like cleaning the house without putting on your glasses (if you don't know that joke google it and go out and live!)

I had a hard time following who was who in this dialogue.

A change for the bitter one to be the ex wife, and gotten hit financially. All those things she thought were not the case. A bitch has a reason to genuinely bitch about. Sometimes it works out. :)

Nice for the 'Biter to be Bit'...

Payback is SUCH a bitch - HAHAHAHA

...so many men have to suffer that,good to see a woman having to suffer...

he took that bitch for every dime he could, BRAV..FUCKING O

This "story" should have been in Science Fiction. But I guess it makes misery feel better, so dream on ... :)

As for the "story", I am having a hard time calling it that, sounds more like a short prayer to a mythical god!

and getting even worser". TK U MLJ LV NV

I love it when a cheating wife has to pay child support and alimony to the husband. You want to plat you have to pay,

HA

Good!

What a concept! If only there were such things.

Such an awesome concept where a woman has to pay the alimony due to her cheating. 5 stars is all i could give because they did not allow me to give more.!

That seems to be one pissed off daughter. Nice little story with a good twist.

DD forgot to put a paper-bag full of shit on Ex-Sweetie's stoop, then lit the bag and rang the door-bell. Hard-ass payback kinda guy! Good for him!

Good flasher!

a child who learns of the cheating in today's world is not some wimp you read in these stories they get cold hard and will wait to tell off the cheater parent, there was a guy who was getting married and to his cheating dad he got no invitation, and he forbid his wife to be to invite him, so his mom did he wasn't a bad father just a bad husband(haha) . The day of the wedding he saw him come in hide in back, he found out his fiance new about it all, so the forgive crap woman touchy feely shit that does have a time and place , but this was not it, so he stoped the wedding cold and walked out, it tuns out dad used him to lie to his mom about being out, he never forgave him because he never asked for it by confessing what he used his son for making him feel cheap.no wedding but 5 guys in Vegas for 7 days.

You have my vote for the author that has the most anger and writes the nastiest BTB stories on this site. You are unrelenting in roasting the woman in your stories. Congratulations on another long term burning. Although a good therapist might help you.

All cheating wifes deserve to be treated as such by their estranged kids. Nice revenge.

I liked the idea of this story.

Apparently the daughter hates her mother a LOT! Although I'm not too sure on the legal parts about contributing to the car, trips to Europe and College. Unless specified in the divorce she wouldn't have been on the hook for those expenses. But it sure makes for a good BTB story. Nice one. Although one of the commentators might have it right. Someone might benefit from some psycho therapy.

BUT I did -

It works beautifully in the world you built -

That world is a nice - world I thin -

I - like this father - would prefer the child cherishes her mother - we all only really get one - BUT I also accept it goes the way it rolls for many kids these days - harsh but good.

I love it when a cheating bitch burns !

A galaxy of stars !

When a parent cheats, they cheat on the kids as much as on the spouse. Their selfishness threatens and damages the child's security. I have seen many children of cheaters grow up with no respect for their cheater parent, and sometimes hate for them. Sadly, these children of cheaters frequently have serious problems with their own future relationships. Ironically, daughters of cheating fathers often expect their husbands to cheat, so they cheat first in a sort of 1st strike option. Yuck, what a mess.

I wish the world this tale is set in really existed. At least in terms of a worthless cheating cunt. With any luck she'll honor her daughters wish.

HA

A damned excellent super BTB story 5***** and the Author is from India!

and last for as long as possible, no double standards involved. TK U MLJ LV NV

Love this story

A really outstanding short story.

Really not a good story. It doesn't go anywhere. Way overrated.

YUK The only thing that this Story does for me is that it gives me the Shits ★☆☆

so nice to read stories where the cheater pays for their actions

whoa that really hit the nail on the head

Child support would stop at 18, regardless of whether he remarried or not.

Alimony would stop at remarriage, regardless of how old Annie was.

Child support depends on what state you live in. In my state up to 21 if the child is in college.

Your stories are just too good. I have read your entire collection in about the time it would take to read one JPB story. They don't leave me confused either.

Only one question what was he actor music star or?

I've read this story 3 or 4 times, and have enjoyed it each time. Well done!

They weren't married long enough for her to pay a lot of alimony. It's all a formula. Every State has a formula for child support and alimony. Her getting married would NOT have increased her alimony to her ex-husband nor would it have increased her child support. And every time Annie went to her for more money? She would have been within her legal rights to say "no". Simple as that. Besides, in what world did he get custody? Again, she was the major breadwinner, she would have gotten custody. Then, since she had a recorder on her, she went back to Court with her ex-husbands confessions and was awarded ALL her money back. He narrowly avoided jail time for perjury. Just another spin on your fantasy.

1 star

Everyone is all worked up about the realism in alimony and child support. I just enjoyed the revenge on the bitch cheating wife.

finally one that a real BTB

Perfect last request. Another great story from this author.

No wimpy cuckolds here

Great story. The last line is the perfect way to end it.

If she remarries, the alimony stops. If she shacks up with some guy, the alimony stops. So if she has a boyfriend, he has to live elsewhere. My sister is still pissed that her husband has to send her a check every month, but my BIL is not much longer for this world, and I’m pretty sure my sister will think, “At least the old bag is cut off from alimony now.”

Great story with a great end

Awesome daughter..

A different take, very ingenious. Well done.

I love this story. Do you still write?

John

A writer with a sense of humor toward the evil ex. This is funny. Well done.

...stream-of-consciousness storytelling style is difficult to read.

Again. That last line let’s her mother know just what she really thinks about her. She does not even matter.

We can't choose our parents!

One of the few short stories that actually good

BOOM! Nice story. Quick, fun read.

If it was already his daughter's collage why did he have to pay for it? After all, how much could a collage cost?

you gotta love a daddies girl

5 stars - I really like this story

As the father of two modern girls I think their requests would have been " Eat shit and die."

Short, sweet & to the point. 5 Stars

"as I advanced in your career." - MY career!

\

Editing, editing, editing. For such a short story to be so poorly edited is an insult to readers.

Gotta love the last line.

Just to much hate.

Good lord what a mess

Wow i dont recall when i read this but i originally gave it 3 stars. Now in re-reading i found the hilarity while at the same time the dread of carrying such a dislike for someone that one would go so far out of their way and for so long as to make there life as hard and terrible as possible. Still i gave it a 5 then change it to a 4 because while I can relate to being inflexible to those who have crossed me and take a keen pleasure in replaying a slight back in turn with compound interest. I found the hilarity of how the system was worked to the man's favor, because there is nothing worse than the state sponsored garnishment of child support/ my support. Many men have been sent to the poor house or an early grave trying to pay unreasonable child support demands set down by the court system, while at the same time being a twice a month part time dad.

Fun and short

Too many pronouns, with perhaps a mis-usage here or there

More than good enough to look at your other work!

only a few paragraphs yet still lose count of all the mistakes. Really weak effort.

Yet another delightfully pleasant BTB from this author. Yeah, it's a fantasy, legality wise. So flipping what? This is LE, where I come to enjoy works of fiction, not Harvard Law Journal.

I wonder if dangerouslydead really thinks it is spelled "collage"? I've now cuckled over that in two of their stories 😂

Brilliant. Thank you for some justice there...

I loved the story!

Anon wonders if DD really thinks it's spelled 'collage'. I wonder if anon really thinks it's spelled 'cuckled'.

JR

Hope the daughters last request is granted.
