All Comments on 'But I had a Hall Pass'

A very damaged woman with many issues wrapped up in a shell of self-centred goodness. How the hell did he not notice this sooner? Or maybe she just snapped at some point. That's too convenient though.

Two things:

1. It is hard to imagine this man having married and lived with this woman for a long period of time. People just don't change that much-he'd have to have seen it before.

2. The court room scenes didn't work at all. We all grew up on movies and tv where the court scenes made little if any sense, so perhaps this is to be expected, but:

Firstly, the "rebuttal" evidence wasn't rebuttal evidence. Her adultery was an essential part of the case he had to make in relying on the prenup. He'd called some evidence on it. He can't split his case and call more just because she took the stand and denied what he had claimed in his direct evidence.

Secondly, the recordings would have to be put to the witnesses on the stand.

Thirdly, the examination for discovery process would have revealed to the wife that the husband had those recordings, so the witnesses couldn't have been surprised on the stand.

Excellent story. I had a friend who's wife took a hall pass, he did the same as revenge, the marriage was over in less than a year.

Fair.

Nice fantasy. If only...

nice hero fantasy you have, to bad life is nowhere near that way.

Guessing that she also lost her job at the school once she was convicted

The thing that leaves me puzzled is the hall pass. Did she really think she had one and if so, what gave her that idea. Or maybe she was trying to gaslight her husband into believing that he'd granted her one but why do that when she could have just gone off with the guy without saying anything and no one would have been any the wiser? The fact that she went incommunicado for two days suggests either that she thought she was doing no wrong or that she intended to hit hubby with a fait accompli and seek forgiveness after the event rather than seek prior permission but again it's not clear which of those is the case.

Other than that it was a jolly little romp.

1st time ever on LW that a judge gives husband sole custody cuz a cheating wife lies/lied;;;;;;;;;

;;;;;;;;;;;;The Judge lectured Amy that even if there hadn't been a pre-nup he would have awarded me custody of the kids. On the record he found Amy to be an unfit mother for her extensive attempts at deception.;;;;;;;;;;;;

what an absolute cunt. rk

"jflinders' is making some common but erroneous assumptions in his list of issues w/ the courtroom; 1- that all attys are competent and professional, 2- that all attys are honest, honorable ,have ethics and morals, 3- that all attys give a shit abt clients welfare vs their fees,. this shyster[ as feckless as his client] took wifes word of innocence and prolly never asked MC or his atty abt proof of cheating. You know attys; all egos, infallibility, arrogance and of course, corruption.

Finally, MC evidence was kinda "rebuttaly" as they were rebutting the slut and friends claim that there had been no cheating. it almost seems as if MC was the defendant here? as he wasnt asked nor expected to have proof of the cheating. Much more surprising was judge 1- awarding sole custody to MC and 2- judges reasoning for his de3cision. repeating never have read of a judge on LW giiving custody to dad cuz of mendacity or any other worse malfeasance from the cheater. rk

Great story!!! Well done!

Three stars for an Average story with loads of plot holes. I see many have already been pointed out below. Not a great piece of writing.
