I just wanted to tell you how much I've enjoyed your work and I wish I were as prolific. Admitteded I need to say that this was your best piece best it was your best when it was finished. I kinda thought about and I see these stiff characters and the John Wayne ending made me smile alot...I felt it was like a 50"s western shit kicker. just in a different settig. I like the way you paced this story. Done Good

So this story popped up in the Random section of LW and I read it for a second time. Got to the end to find I gave it 5 last time- which if I could vote again I'd give it a 5.

Then I read the anonymous comments that posted recently and got a laugh from those.

Yes, she never admitted she's who cheated but Jack had big shoulders and accepted it, the mark of a big, big man.

Too few stories being written like this lately. Thanks HDK for so many good stories.

Fantastic story, it didn’t take the reader through the roller coaster that most do. Having 3 main characters helped

Great read 👍

Chuck: "I would ask that you don't cheer or applaud when the grim reaper takes me. That would hurt Beth and she doesn't deserve it."

Me: ill dance and cheer at the moment of your death, and follow your wife and son for days forward to taunt them, reminding them over and over that you lived and died as human scum.

Jack: I forgive you, and I'm gonna cuck myself after you die by supporting your wife and son.

Excellent story about the strength of families.

4 Stars on this one . Chuck do not worry about your wife . I will take good care of her after you die .

Worst. Ending. Ever.

Half an hour for sex, shower, shave and back to party after 6 years dry? We know shes a talker from how loud she was with Chad, but no one heard a thing through a single door? Kind of points to another reason she strayed, which is such a let down. This is exactly the bit where the story needed a little fantasy embelishment, but was completely flat.

Great characters and first half, but ultimately plot failed and moved way too quickly through major turning points. Eg. Kansas' forgiveness of Laura. The rumours about her Dad being a lousy husband would have driven her crazy at school, and, since shes not allowed to, I can only see her blaming Laura for not telling everyone the truth. Needed more of an event to turn that around. Maybe, at the tournament when the spectator started screaming at the girl doing linesman duty, rather than Jack saving her, Laura got their first and started laying into the man showing Kansas she really cared about the girls and was prepared to fight off a bear to protect them. The guy doesnt like that much, being the big brute he is and tries to slap some respect into her only to find Jack catch his arm midswing to protect Laura. Maybe an escalation ensues in the parking lot or outside a bar in town later to show-off just how tough Jack really is. This triggers the level of hatred required to drive the guy to report Jack's marital status to the authorities. The main positive from all this being Kansas decides to give Laura a chance to be friends, however Laura starts getting more drepessed as the emotional event has left her realising more than ever how amazing the man she berrayed really is.

All of the resentments from the wider family about Jack running away would be resurfacing. E.g. Laura's parents blaming Jack's for raising a lousy man.

Only Laura could heal their pain, but originally chose not to to protect her own image. Story seemed to be heading towards some sort of climactic confrontation where Laura would need to come clean to protect the man she loves from all that resentment, then everyone would have blamed her, and Jack could have come in and saved her.

This would have been a much more natural progression towards healing and forgiveness. Laura wouldnt have cared if everyone knew the truth about her if she had her man back. She might get strange looks around town but she would have the best man in town holding her every night.

5 stars - looking at some of the comments below, you'd think they were critiquing a 'Nobel Prize' candidate in literature. Relax people, this is just a porn site with a few risqué stories.

Fantastic story!!!! Well done! 5 stars!

This plot didn't survive first contact with the protagonists. Kansas near instant approval of Laura. The deathbed forgiveness BS and the fact that Laura owned up to nothing wrecked what was otherwise a well written story.

Agree with anonymous Worst. Ending. Ever. Ditto on every point made. This could have, should have been a classic had those points been addressed. Opportunity lost. What a pity. The potential was huge

I think you forgot to write that Laura was a slut who got fucked by a number of men in the intervening years before Jack came home. That became obvious to Jack as everywhere he went men kept coming up.to him to let him know what a great fuck and cock-sucker she was. He quickly realised that she would never be anything but a cheap whore so he made sure everybody saw her for the cheat and slut she was. He fucked her sister and then most of the single women in the town at the same time without concern. When Laura's father confronted him he let him have the first shot then proceeded to bitch-slap him until he collapsed pissing his pants and begging him to stop. And so on and on... But the above aside this had the opportunity to be a classic story but you turned the main character into a spineless wimp of a man while Laura simply sailed on unaffected by her treachery allowing everybody to see him as the villain. Not very satisfying for any reader with even a modicum of a sense of justice.

don't pay any mind to anonymous 1 and 2. They are the jerks. It is your story and I loved it. They can write their own but they probably can't.

Kind of went off the rails in the first 14 paragraphs. The mom can't read between the lines when the cheating ex-wife (or she would be an X-wife if there was any justice in the world) react so suddenly to the idea of the husband causing the issue? A mom or any other woman wouldn't figure out that kind of reaction? A guilty conscience plays itself out, and what's down deep bubbles up. "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks."

A bad story from a good author. It leaves the reader with a sense of injustice. Laura proved to be of low character throughout. Jack threw away his principles in order to to reconcile with what? A cheating slut? Why?

The truth never came out at least to the family.......It will eventually hopefully. Still about the only RAAC that I have read that even comes close to being acceptable. One mistake from a teenager is forgivable. They married to young and in college. That alone was stupid as hell.

5 from me! Only thing I wish was different would be the ending. Jack really dug down to forgive Chuck and Laura. Laura owes it to Jack to fess up as to why Jack left in the first place. At least tell her sister and parents. I think her mom and sister figured it out on their own long ago, but Laura’s dad is still clueless. Jack doesn’t deserve her Dad’s attitude and the only way to fix it is for dad to know the truth!

So many clues that Jack wasn't the one at fault for their separation.

Most of them relate to Laura standing up for him, but a big one was this:

"A wife gives her husband all of her love. She belongs to him, only him!"

...

"I agree," managed Laura as tears formed in her eyes.

.

How obtuse would you have to be to not understand what *he* was saying or *her* response?

.

And there's no way he'd have to go through this game about an adoption with Kansas. Brian could have just legally transferred his parental rights to Jack. Bingo bango problem solved.

And as for *Chuck*, I'd have never gone to see him because nothing he had to say would have been anything I'd have believed.

Laura was a coward and still is a coward and lets others suffer for her failings.

My wife and I married in grad school with an arrangement where each supported the other through the necessary term: her DSW, my PhD. When her time came, we had a two year-old who I mostly took care of while teaching to support us while she went to school. And, yes, she cheated with a young prof, which wrecked our marriage for almost five years. We separated and divorced, making a young daughter's life a living hell for that time, and few in both our extended families or colleagues understood the problem. I got most of the opproprium because she didn't confess her transgression until the third year from great shame and embarrassment, where-upon her family approached mine to mitigate the damage to a grandchild, and it eventually led to us patching it up after I forgave. If not for the child as bridge, and the support from now enlightened family, it would never had happened. Her family always maintained friendly relations with me despite the difficulties for some reason. Practically speaking, the responsibilities of joint custody made our professional career development difficult until we reconciled due to joint concern over our young daughter. Although a step or adopted child, the one here was the defacto means of bridging their divide, and the wife's family acceptance of that kid was the key. The only difference was this wife didn't confess to her family like mine ultimately did, but suffered the same conscience. It's when she did it and sought to make restitution that my bitterness was mollified. Kudo to HDK for capturing this dynamic. It's very rare for a couple to find their way back after such a drift away, but does happen if the star align.

Good story Great direction having Jack let everyone blame him for leaving although at the end instead of having Jack talk to Laura he should've walked up to her kiss her pick her up and carry her to the room.. that would've been more dramatic

Really good story. Have no issues with a reconciliation at all. However it felt rushed at the end. It needed a couple more pages and an admission from Laura of her transgression. You cannot solve a problem without acknowledgement that it happened. But overall this was a good story and very well written. BardnotBard

Heartwarming.

Really cool how Laura never took responsibility for her actions with her friends and family and let Jack continue taking the blame. Jack the ludicrously unbelievable nice guy was just happy to shoulder the blame of Laura being a cheating whore, not to mention her reason for being a cheating whore is I just wanted to be a whore and Jack being alright with that as the reasoning is just embarrassing.

But not nearly as embarrassing as:

>"Think how it hurts to know I had it all and I pissed it away. Every time I look at you or Kansas, I'm reminded of how foolish I was. The pain hasn't lessened over time. In fact, it's increased as my love for you and Kansas grows."

or

> I'm here to tell you I'll make certain your wife and son will never go wanting. You'll die knowing the man whose life you ruined is caring for your family.

Were you attempting to make your mc's so unlikable on purpose as a challenge to yourself or something?

This story comes across clunky at some points with sudden awkard transitions, and some of the pacing could have been fleshed out a little better, but overall it's an amazing story, I've read it several times, and I come back to this every so often for the warm fuzzy feel good vibe that it emotes in the reader. 99.99 of loving wives stories spell out in intricate detail of the wives infidelities,

But in this one, her infidelity seems very understated compared to her self disgust, shame and regret. It's those attributes that make the raac work. They say once a cheater always a cheater, but in this rare case, I really felt she would never jeopardize her marriage again.

How is it that they went to the bedroom and did things, showered, and changed clothes all in a half hour. I don't think it is possible not if they made love.

Great read, in spite of your naysayers! Thank you!

A nice read but if Laura had cleared the misconception that Jack was at fault for their sepeation it would have made more realism. She should have been the one to set the record straight. At the big party leaving the new bedroom in 30 minutes after sex, shower and change of clothes means their sex was not much.

A very good tale, one of my favorites for years! Thank you HDK, 5 STARS

Конец крайне разочаровал!! Почему мрази, что причиняли боль, я и про Чака и про Лори, в результате получили приз? Чак получил прощение и заботу о семье, а Лори идеального мужа и дочь?? Что за бред? Джек единственный кто потерял всё, а потом ещё и простил всех, получив обратно изменяющую проститутку. Причем Лори умышленно сделал Джека подонком для всего города! Она даже своей семье не рассказала правду. Это не хороший конец, а гимн победы ублюдков над честным и верным человеком, который стал куколдом. И каждый раз он будет знать, что Лори сравнивает его с Чеком. Сначала рассказ был потрясающий, но конец просто упал на дно!

I assume many of you do not speak or read Russian so I will translate the previous comment for those of you wondering what the Russki was telling me. As an apple pie eating American, I am pleased to say this pinko does not include me on his favorites list. I guess we can determine who the real Americans are by reading that list. His translated comment follows:

"Holy shit, HDK! That was one fucking brilliant story. You Americans are so clever. That was better than War and Peace and far more believable than our fearless leader's battle plan for crushing Ukraine. Luckily, I live in a one story building so I will not be falling off any balconies, unless my comrades drag my red commie ass up several flights of stairs. Power to the people, Comrade!"

@harddaysknight: Greetings from retirement in the Caribbean!

I LOVE your Russian translation! It’s very positive and uplifting. Of course, you know we only have to highlight the text and right-click on some systems to translate it. I’m so glad your Russian is better than Google Translates 😁 Sadly, the actual comment is reflective of the negative comments on here and the YouTube channel(s) where your story has been appropriated. If with your permission, great! If not, then they’re getting paid for your hard work.

Anyway, I have marked the story as one of my favorites and given it 5 stars. Yes, Laura messed up big time when she was young, dumb and full of another man’s cum. Jack, less mature then than he is now, left rather than humiliate his wife. Notice I said humiliate his wife and not himself. Being the truly selfless, loving and caring man he is, he’d rather spare his wife and leave her to find her own happiness. Even if it means tearing his heart out and suffering the disdain and hatred of the town.

His relationship with Brian and Kansas provided the lifeline he needed to heal and grow as a man and father. This prepared him for the eventual reconciliation with Laura.

As I’ve said before, when I used to provide pastoral counseling, for healing and reconciliation to occur the couple needed: deep, abiding love for each other and true remorse on the cheater’s part. The way you wrote your main characters shows they both loved each other enough to forgive and heal the relationship. Yes, it took a while, as it should have. Healing, forgiveness and rebuilding the marriage is not a fast process. You captured that truth very well.

It’s too bad your detractors cannot see how beautiful this story is. The world is not black and white, as many believe. It has varying shades of grey and it is there that relationships exist.

Well done!

Former Christian, thanks again for being such a huge fan. You read and comment on all of my stories. That's all I want. Thanks again!

As far as my Russian translation is concerned, I simply stated what the guy actually intended more than what he actually wrote. Thank you to all readers. I appreciate it greatly.

Jack finally became a man again. A man doesn't run away and hide.

No lesson in it for her. Not a great story. It reads as if written by a woman or a very effeminate man.

I liked the story. liked where it went, just thought the finish didn't flow as well as I thought it could have. The conversations with Chuck....something about the flow of that conversation. Maybe if Jack had a conversation with Chucks wife. she told him what Chuck had been like in the past and how he had been since they got together....maybe that would have worked better. not sure, but overall well done.

Dear FukuPhotoG.. thank you for your inane sycophantic ramblings. Good to know that you think that Jack grew as a man and a father which prepared him for the reconciliation with the lying cheating whore. Are you on the same planet as the rest of is mere mortals or have you already ascended into godhood?

I loved this story with one exception. I think Laura should have admitted what she did. She owed that to Jack. Even if it was only to her family and his it was unfair everyone blamed him.

A fine story for the most part but spoiled somewhat by the MC going all caveman and dragging his wife off to the bedroom for sex while their adopted daughter and a house full of party guests waited in the next room for them to finish. Highly improbable and grossly tacky to say the least.

Love this story every time I read it! Just to make certain I've 5-starred at least once, I am rating it a 5 this for sure.

Interesting idea that started well but fell flat in the end That should have been foreseen condidering the HDK BR58 hook-up. Turning all the men in their stories into wimps. Misandry abounds.

Crap story from a feminised author who should save his ramblings for the gay section and lo and behold. Loser Nixrox likes it. What a cunt.

Love the story, every time I read it. Thanks HDK, 5 stars

Meh. She continues to disrespect him by not taking responsibility for her actions which included not letting others think it was his fault. She was selfish then and still selfish now. And whining about how much pain she was jn? Good grief.

I agree with he below remark!

Smelling Blackrandl crap in this heap.

Pretty bad melodrama no matter where you stand, RAAC or BTB.

I think this proves that HDK is a dickless wimp... it's about time that he drops out of literotica but before he does it would be best if he could apologise and admit to his misandrist agenda then take the rest of his bitches like Blackrandl etc with.

@Anonymus "Meh. She continues to disrespect him by not taking responsibility..." Well said, I completely agree with your comment. And the disrespect seems to rub off on the adopted daughter pretty fast, as she begins to entage in conspiracies to nudge him into fulfilling her dream of being part of a family again.

So on one hand Laura is never held responsible for her behaviour, like a baby or a toddler, while on the other hand she, her sister Kate and Kansas decieve/mislead our 'knight in shining armour'.

Jack's persona is like the wet dream of the delusional, brainwashed Western woman. He is physically strong, defends and protects women, even those who wronged him, takes the responsibility for the woman's wrongdoing in the eye of the public and forgives the unforgivable. He ruins his own reputation within a small town to protect the person who utterly betrayed him. Let's not forget, he even witnessed the act, he had to listen to the dirty talk and the noises of passion and satisfaction his wife made while fucking the campus Don Juan. Just imagine that! There is no coming back from that, no way!

Anonymous seems to have a bug up his ass. He wants me to apologize to the readers for being a dickless wimp. I do apologize for not deleting insulting comments by anonymous assholes. My policy is to delete as few comments as I can. I have been insulted by the best. Anonymous is never among the best and is usually among the worst. Thanks to everyone who reads, votes and comments. I appreciate it.

Anonymous, this story is not worth getting upset about. Don't take it so literal or so personal. You have to approach these stories with different expectations, and with your pants on. It was a relationship drama based on infidelity, recovery and, in this case, reconciliation.

I thought it was well written but I wish there were some tweaks to it to make a stronger case for the happy ending and maybe extend the ending out a little to include Chuck's death, how he's helping his family and how his marriage and family are resurrected. If the party at the end was for family only, it would have been great for Laura demonstrate her love/remorse/retribution by admitting to the affair in front of everyone as the true reason for their estrangement.

Regardless, I did enjoy reading it as it was provided to us, free of charge. Thanks HDK. Quality writing, good stuff!

HDK, you have not yet been insulted by the best. I’m too big of a fan to ever post an insult. A very rare “ I didn’t rally care for that story” is the worst I’ve ever given you. This is a great story to read again, and it’s a *5 because that’s the highest allowed.

I’m a little biased when it comes to this author because I really enjoy his work. There are parts of this story that I really found intriguing, the confrontation that Jack and Laura had toward the end of the story was one. That part that I found the most intriguing was the confrontation between Jack and Chuck. If I could make a request from the author, I would love if you would have expanded on that.

I loved it, gave it 5 stars and thought it was a good story. I've read it a few times, and enjoy it each time. Now I just skip over the hospital scene (didn't care for it), as it seems like it was just tossed in to garner some tears,and add misery. Don't get me wrong, Chuck did get Jack to thinking about who was actually being punished. That said, I liked the soccer tornyment coverage, as I'd only heard of it in this story, but it wouldn't surprise if it happened in other states too. Thanks for sharing it with us HDK.

Love this story

was a bit jarring in places, as you jumped, quickly, unexpected between locations, scenes, and characters, and you can only figure it out by backup up a bit, and figuring out what happened.. a few extra line breaks, maybe a simple '* * *' between scenes, would make this a lot easier to read straight through, without losing immersion in the story.

somewhere around the middle of the 2nd page, I got lost trying to count all the changes from married, not married, divorced, not divorced, maybe married, maybe not... confusing as all hell.. and not even the husband and wife seem to actually know, in words and action, if they're still married or not. REALLY confusing.

new names and a soccer distraction, doesn't really hide that this is really a different take on the February Sucks model, where some jock hits a stupid woman with a martian slut ray, and she likes it, right up to the nanosecond when she gets caught. corny dialogue, people that have no idea what their legal status is, and a bunch of lame 1960s sitcom sleeping arrangements don't fix that, even if you want to THINK it's a happy ending. She's still the same cum dumpster and he's the same cuck.

"... dig two graves."

HDK writes an interesting story. Don't think I would ever let a cheater paint me as the bad guy though. I thought he might end up with the bully cheaters wife and kid.

Thanks for a great story. I wondered where it was going, and I enjoyed where it ended!! DerMtMan

That story was nauseating. The mc was all holy of holy. The cheater turned nun pretty much. The asshole is a family man seeking forgiveness. The daughter has no issues even though both parents are dead. Your characters where to over the top, it makes it hard to connect with them. Give them real people problems with real people emotions.

Another great story. Thank you.
