Thank you for a really good story, looking forward to more! 5 stars

Great Story. Well done.

What a wonderful story, it started out so sad for Henry due to what Gina did to him with John, but after he met and fell in love with Taylor the whole story took a positive turn. The end was warm and loving and wow 4 kids what can I say, All is well that ends well. and they lived happily everafter. Well done 5++stars

Pure fantasy. Gina just burns her marriage and family because an old boyfriend is available and NONE of the friends and family outside of her husband and daughter are offended? Oh right they were friends in college. Riigggghttt. The fact they became friends with someone after college and had known him for 20 years is nothing really. They see nothing wrong with a shit bird destroying a marriage? Really? And where was the narcissistic bitch before this? No one just decides that they will spend 20 years loving someone, building a life with them and completely destroys that person with no guilt. This is NOT even remotely a 5 star story. It lacks realism. It was obviously placed in Romance because you would be thrashed in LW. Which you should. I don't mean for the childish comments by the heman loser patrol. At least the rating would be more representative of what is actually here.

I'm not a big fan of BTB stories, but this should have been one. As it stands, it was just a romantic fantasy, and not a very original one at that.

Great Story 5*

I really liked this one. Not all LW stories need to include a BTB.

I especially liked the part where Taylor thought Henry had a teenage girlfriend.

1st- bust gina in the face for suggesting that he share her, 2nd- bust john a really big kick in the balls. This story shows that the degeneration of college elite graduates(aka pervert scum) has been going on a lot longer than since 2020, maybe since 1940s?

Nah. Why help het at all. Be there for you daughter but not the ex.

REAL LIFE WERE THIS FAIR this was a really well told and satisfying story where almost every character ended up in an appopriate place at the end I really enjoyed

reading this story great job, Thank You 5***** how individual characters were treated is not really crucial but it seemed to be a fair distribution of pain and pleasure. I LOVED IT.

I liked the ending, but my loathing of Gina colors my enjoyment of this tale.

Henry acted honorably in spite of her.

Not enough sex to make up for the downer Gina caused.

Well written & well done.

I think I’ve read and rated this story before

I’m sure I gave 5 stars then this time I loved it better

and would rated it higher if possible but I will.salute it with 5 +++

Thanks!

Great story. Really wish Gina wouldn't have gotten any help from the MC. Fuck her and her stupid ass. Wish the funeral for John where the MC could have confronted his previous "friends" and told them to go to hell. I think John's daughter handled it best.

It's bizarre... on the one hand, she asks her husband to share her... but on the other, she thinks this:

I mean, what man would willingly share his wife with another man. Oh I was aware of those sickos that are into that, but I thought of them as more animals than men.

So, if her husband *had* been willing to share her she'd consider him animal-ish...? And if John would have done it, doesn't that mean she traded a man *for* that "more animal"...?

Good thinking on her part.

I've read this story several times and have always enjoyed it. The one question I have is about her new husband. At the beginning of the story he is said to own a couple of car dealerships. Why then was the wife without money after his death? I would assume that she was his heir and didn't need another job.

Gets better every time I read it. Better than the 'Choices' resets I read, too.

Wonderful story, some places had me laughing and close tears in others. Very good writing, anyone have a wife to share?

Right, a person that dumps her 20 year marriage like rotted meat and offers him a humiliating cuckold relationship is such a nice person after all.

As I've found in my 60 years, one is never too old to learn a lesson and even grow up. Age and maturity are not the same thing. Great story

good feel good story, well written. Rather miss the "Wife Share" arrangement, LOL

I like this story more every time I read it. Henry got shunted into the garbage heap by his “loving” wife and came out smelling like a rose. Then marriage-wrecker John drove head first into a solid wall of Karma and became just a bad memory. His partner-in-crime Gina took a pretty good beating when she slammed into the wall of Karma but survived. Maybe she’ll take things like promises a little more seriously. Yeah, probably not. Great story, Big Guy. 5⭐️

Even better the second time around.

Well done.

Good story, however the second last paragraph it states that he got the snip and Taylor had her tubes tied. Now I realize Taylor is at least six years younger than Henry but if he had the snip why would she have her tubes tied unless she was worried about getting pregnant and obviously not from her husband.

Yes, Natalie, I want your pussy shaved smooth. I hate getting public hair between my teeth, lol!

Another nice story with a crazy woman in it!

Would have liked it more by

Guess I'm a sucker for a revenge story

Screw the ex wife she is deranged

what was I ? a girl w/ cooties? no, worse, a faithless, traitorous, whoring slut. dont fell either wife or "friend" suffered enuf for breaking up a "decent"? marriage over 20 yr old memories.

"I want I want" Says it all.

It was just a marriage. It wasn't any worse or better. Stupid woman.

I do think that she would have been happier if he has done along with the sharing plan, because OMG! Two men want me. Classic narcissism.

4 stars - it just didn't flow well, kind of low key, like a 'Bodice Ripper' romance novel.

But at least the MC divorced the skanky slut.

A very enjoyable read. It's nice that not all LW stories are BTB, RAAC or a cuck/wimpy husband story. I agree with the author's storyline in the beginning, MC knew marriage was over by her simply asking to be shared. It would be devastating to realized that after all those years, there was someone else that had your spouse's love more than you did. Author did a really good job bringing it all around to the final act of forgiveness.

Nicely written story. Good flow in most sections. Nice that writer didn't go the cliche' route and have Henry catch the cheaters. Now to Henry, it takes courage, intelligence, maturity and above all self-confidence/awareness to move on. If you notice Henry's only consideration was to move 30 miles away. That was healthy and necessary to heal. The cheater was, in my opinion of low moral character and intelligence. Gina's "I want my cake and eat it too, was action that made the reader disgusted. John and she were selfish, and KARMA paid them back. Having Henry help Gina could be viewed as him taking the burden of a disgusting mother off Nat. Even Savanna saw how selfish and terribly disrespectful John's action were. Pollyanna ending was OK but only because of Henry's character...a gracious winner's character. BTRH...

Just one little problem… if John owned a few car dealerships around town; why would Gina be under hardships after his death? Wouldn’t she be entitled to inherit them. The money and the problems too?!?! Otherwise, a very enjoyable story. Thank-you

You tell a great story. The characters are easy to relate to, easy to like or hate or not. You control that with a level of mastery that is rare. Thank you for sharing your work!

Jj1

Out of heartache.... A beautiful believable story. Beautifully written. 5 stars -- Bob

what a fucking scuzz bucket of a woman Gina was ! EW! lol

The vasectomy was a bit late. The MC will be eligible for Social Security when the youngest of his 5 children enters college. Ouch...

NEED A PROOF READER. STORY WAS REALLY GOOD.

Excellent tale, I've just read it for the second time. Says it all.

Great story with a very good writer

Frog 308

Wonderful story well told

Awesome Romance. Gives all struggling good guys hope.

In the end forgiveness is the best answer, bitterness only corrodes the soul.

I like the ending of the child bearing, they weren't taking any chances, both got fixed.

I can see doing the paperwork at the hospital to hep the kids but no way would I talk to her or hep her get a job. I would not be mean or angry but I would be so over it that the indifference would be there. Help the kid and then just walk away.

Well, after Gina made her stupid proposal to share her, I couldn’t help but think that if I were Henry, Gina and John would PAY! It was nice to read a story where Karma really stepped up and took care of business. Thanks, BigGuy, for a very good, and emotionally satisfying story. Any story that lets the good guys have a happy ending and see a little bit of payback is definitely worthy of Five⭐️Stars.

jesus christ

4 pregnancy after 35 yo, its kinda dangerous

woman dumps guy defecates all over him and he makes good. She makes out fine so does everyone else. Vanilla life moves on. The end.

Just read for the third time - I really like a happy ending - in this case for everybody ! Thanks Big Guy !

Where is the emotion? I will tell you, its not here. Where is the outrage? He just walks out and breaks the dudes car like a passive aggressive pussy. Where is the screaming at the wife? She robbed him of his youth with a woman who truly loved him because she didn't. She settled and that's treachery. All you nimrods who say this is wonderful are only looking at the end. You aren't seeing the lack of realism. This is not a well told story. It's cheap emotionless nonsense.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Another well written story that is realistic as it can get. Easy to read and get absorbed into it. It's fiction that does not seem fictional which in itself makes it a success and enjoyable.Yes there are a few holes in it but the good writing and realism skirts right by them. The ending is almost fairy tale,but again your writing allows you to get away with it...5 stars...JZK

I have to laugh at BigGuy33 if your so big how come all your protagonists are such Big Pussies I mean FFS everyone of them runs away hides in a corner and literally cries there eyes out?! Maybe I'm biased but fucking GUYS dont do that we scream we about we stew we scheme we retaliate that's what REAL MEN DO!!!!

Then after all the smoke clears we say Ok maybe I shouldn't have done that?

skim, skim, skim, QUIT.

2 stars

Hallmark Friggin' Movie-worthy!!

And they all lived happily ever after?

Well constructed and actually logical as written...except for Taylor's and John's oh so quick conclusion that there love was fated--written in the stars. Ummm, given both their histories a little more skepticism would have been in order.

Liked Gina's proposal for the "sharing" arrangement with her being the beneficiary of two hot guys fucking her in consequtive weeks (or every other night--whatever worked). For her, what's not to like with that? Pretty soon she'd have pussy whipped them into taking turns every night, reveling in the creampies they filled her with. What must THAT have done for her ego! (Hmmm, maybe you can write that tale later on...).

Enjoyed it. Kudos and thanks for the entertainment.

What a nice love story. The hero is an absolute gentleman. There are tragic figures that seem to be OK with life's lessons. Well-written, original, and fun to read. Thanks for the tale.

Very good story

Decent Karmic reward and punishment, He was free to find True Love, she lost both of the guys in turn.😈🔥🤣

I have read other stories about the wife wanting her husband to share her with another man. The way she did it and who it was was I think even more hurtful than wanting to do it with someone he didn't know.

It was basically my college boyfriend is free now, I want him, I couldn't have him until he was free of his wife.

Yeah, finding out after year's of marriage that she probably wouldn't have married you if he didn't get married.

That would have burned.

I also agree with Savannah.

What stands out to me about this story is the cowardly, slimy way Gina and John moved here. They both try to make it out to be this star-crossed thing they couldn't help, but they both knew EXACTLY what they were doing. See, look:

GINA: "But the fact was there had always been a piece of me that was missing. When John and I had been together we just fit. We talked about hopes and dreams and our lives together. Back then I could hardly wait for that time to come. But all of that was lost the moment he ejaculated into Marcie's pussy. I had been heartbroken to see him marrying someone else, and it had taken me a long time to get over it. In fact, I wasn't sure I was even now..."

JOHN: "But she was hopeful that Henry would be willing, especially if it became a choice between that or losing her entirely. The implication there, obviously, was that she had me as a fall back plan, and I was surprisingly okay with that. I was going to get her at least part-time either way, and if Henry reacted as I probably would if I were in his position, I'd probably get her fully..."

He literally watched his divorce happen, right there in the lawnchair at that party. They knew from that point forward, they were gonna be together one way or another and Henry be damned, but rather than just being honest with their desires they tried to phase him out and phase John in like the slimeballs they were...

Too bad the skank Gina and John did not get burned!!

Wow. You have some off the wall interesting ideas but a lot of the dialog is just stilted or super direct or predictable. The internal monologue has character going from 0 to 60 on the romance gauge in a heart beat with a simple first or second encounter. John was a total asshole. Gina was a twit. I think she was quite remorseful that she settled for a marriage that was not as good as what she had with Henry and nowhere near the fantasy she built. This wife sharing stuff while hilarious to write about is simply unbelievable.

I had been heartbroken to see him marrying someone else, and it had taken me a long time to get over it. In fact, I wasn't sure I was even now

But she doesn't have a problem doing this to someone who was faithful to her for 20 years? And to trade that good man for someone who couldn't remain faithful to her thus the reason they didn't get married the first time around what a whore!!!!!!!!

As much as I almost stoped reading this I finished crazy f---ing lady she needed a big dose of real life on lifes terms she got part of it but not all I felt she deserved . all in all good story 5

The changing of perspectives was done well, quite refreshing

Not quite a Hallmark Movie of the Week...but close.

Well done. 5 out of 5. Kudos and more please.

2nd read through and just a great story!

I was hooked during the first page. Very nice story.

Obviously He Was Correct

That he was the outsider, they never really were his friends.

"But John and I did our best to focus on ourselves. The barbecues were the same: fun and with no tension. None of the other couples had expressed any sort of negative reaction to what we had done."

/

I can understand going to the hospital to help the girls but going in to see Gina and helping her get a job? He's a better man than me. Signed: BTW

Nicely diversified plot and chrachter evolution. Tihjtly knit. Sensitive, human and fun. On a scale of 5, you get💥💥💥💥💥💥✌👏👏

not a romance

[13.09.22]

Great character development.

Well written!

Love the two dialogs between Taylor and her mom - very funny!

11/10 Parasites!!!!!

It's ironic the clarity that comes with losing all sense of reality? The wife had been fantasising about 'John' for 20 years and the moment he's available she's in like Flynn. Like just WOW now that's some super duper narcissistic behaviours right there fuck her husband fuck her daughter fuck her entire family it's all about Fantasy Island.

Gina tells her husband that John wants her, she wants to be shared with him. Her husband finds out they dated+ before marrying Henry. After being married for 20 years, she actually believes hubby'll share her? Oh fuck no! At that point, when he's leaving the house to cool off, no explanation from her should be forthcoming. He should just say that he's going out for a while & she's a choice to be made - him & their marriage, or John. No sharing. If she can't/ won't decide, he does it for her, packs his bags after calling a hotel for a room, & leaves.

--> Any explanation that Gina would give is just not welcomed. Henry's feeling that he's an outsider, despite the "friend's" denials, is also garbage. They decided to withhold that information from him, of the prior relationship between Gina & John, as well as did Gina. Yes, in the end, he IS at least somewhat of an outsider.

---> After the accident killing John & putting Gina into a hospital, IF he went to see her, one of 1st questions: how could John become drunk then drive? How could Gina even consider going into the car with him? Personally, I wouldn't have gone into her room - or I don't think so. Helping the girls with the paperwork's one thing. But Henry later found Gina a job. WTF?!? She destroys their marriage & he's helping her with anything? Better man than me.

---> All in all, I wish the story was shorter in length but admit I enjoyed reading.it. Well written, planned out, & executed. Liked that Henry was able to cut down Taylor's defenses vs. men, starting with working on her car. The various points of view in the story was interesting. 4 stars. Bob

Glad it worked out for Henry and Taylor!!

Even the skank Gina had it good

Well written & enjoyable, if troubling, story. Gina, married to Henry for 20yrs or so, decides she wants to be shared with John after his wife died. What a fucking bitch! The fact that she feels something for the man she thought she'd marry before meeting her present hubby doesn't excuse her in the least. John did marry somebody else, having cheated on Gina with the woman who'll be his wife. 20 fuckin' years!! Gina married Henry, been happy with him all that time-- that's all that's needed to be said.

When the bitch said she'd have to chose when asked by her husband what'll happen if he said no, said it all. Compounded with, as he's packing & bringing some of his things out of the house, she just stayed sitting at the kitchen table instead of trying to talk him out of it. Gina's only response to the question should've been to tell John that she can't do it.

That Henry told Natalie, after her explosion, that his wife's still her mother, as with other men wanting their kid(s) to be kind of their mother, left me open mouthed. The fact that Gina did/ wanting what she asked for, he shouldn't say anything. Why men almost defend their wives to the children after they cheat/ leave/ etc., is beyond me. When he's told of the accident & John's passing, him going to the hospital to help his & John's daughter with paperwork, etc., is good. But WHY would he want to go & visit the woman who caused him so much pain? Moreso, why the fuck did he get her a job? Her actions led to their divorce; on one hand, correctly, he's telling Natalie that Gina's not his problem, then turns around & helps her all he can.

..... I'm all for being nice & stuff, but to those - even after divorce - that deserve it. What Gina did in wanting to be shared... no, just no. Henry doing this showed him to either being a better man than I am... or being somewhat wimpish. All through her marriage, Gina yearned for John. Henry might be correct, as holding her until John became available, tho through tragic means.

Lastly, 2 thoughts. One: punctuation. Especially commas, which are either put in wrongly or moreso, not at all. And the placement of this story as a romance? No, not with all the hurt & eventually betrayal done. This's a LW story through & through. If John met Gina & rekindled what they had & both single, OK. But that wasn't the story. However, all in all, on the overall strength of the story, I give it 4 stars.

This yarn started well with an interesting scenario, but after the hero met Taylor and they ‘fell in love’ it became too sickly sweet and predictable for me so I skim read the rest. Why are the husband’s in these yarns so angelic? In real life men are often complete bastards. Combining a flawed husband with a cheating wife would make the yarn so much more interesting. Just my opinion. 4 stars and thanks for sharing.

Awful ending.

I know the friends of Gina thought that by keeping Gina's college love life secret from Henry, for all 20yrs, it became the preverbal secret thing that broke the camel's back when then the friends became part of the act that killed Henry and Gina's marriage in the end. That Gina had been planning along with John and her so called friends to give Henry a choice either be part of a sharing arrangement so she could have her cake and eat it too, it was never going to happen as Henry did the right thing to say so I guess I'll have to divorce you. Which I think should have floored her to the bone. I think it surprised her. I think she saw that she had hurt him and destroyed whatever love he had toward her.

I know if it was me and my wife had replaced me with someone else, I know I would have killed John or hurt him physically and possibly injured her. Henry thought about it, but he reasoned it out that he was an outsider and had been for all 20yrs, and it was her lie that she withheld from Him. He realized that for twenty years he's love was for not, but the only thing he got out of his marriage to her, was Nataley the daughter. Henry, and he quickley got the divorce done and moved away as far away as he felt he could from Gina and so he could to be able to forget her if at all possible after running into them at a club that they used to visit when they went out. He bought a new home 30 miles away. He was able to let his old wife's friends know when they invited him to a barbeque, that now he felt that he was an outsider and had been for 20yrs and that he would never again darken their parties

because they all knew about Gina and John's plans and didn't warn him. Henry after he moved into his new house, he made new friends and eventually met a new lady, who was Taylor. and her mom and dad. Then he knew that he was falling for her, but it was going to be a little work to get into her heart and fall in love again. Henry married her and they had some kids. Gina and John got into an accident and John was killed, but Gina was injured. Gina finally said that she was sorry for everything that happened to their marriage, and she realized that she had made a mistake as her life with John was not as good as she had thought with John and was better with Henry. Gina now realized that she would have to go to work to support herself. Henry helped her with that, and she ended up marring her new boss. The old saying that the grass on the other side of the fence is greener, but after getting to the other side it was not as green as she thought, but it was too late to go back, because the old world had changed and there was nothing left to go back to, as everyone had moved on to better things and a new life.

A woman who loves her husband of 20 years with kids leaves him for a past boyfriend who's wife recently died. And guess what their new marriage was no better, probably worse than her original. Doesn't seem plausible. Only viable alternative is that she never really loved her husband and was infatuated with thr ex boyfriend. Ugh. Mentally healthy women are not like this.

Loved it, thank you

Excellently written. Good job.

Not finished reading, abt 3/4+ of the way through, but I've got to note a couple of things . One is punctuation. It makes a difference insofar as readability's concerned. Another in Gina's not only keeping a secret from Henry, but her longing for John when he reappeared after his wife's tragic death, How he had the balls to suggest that, short of being with her full time, he'd settle for Gina being with him part time. And how fucking Gina even consider the option after 20+yrs marriage.

----> What's worse, after being told that Henry wouldn't accept it, she said she'll have to decide. Which told him she'll go with John & he's just a fill-in, even tho Henry couldn't know the events that would take place. For the friend's involvement, they told him that he's one of them, but afterwards, they don't invite him anywhere where John & Gina's not going to be. It might be hard, but there's always the 1 on 1, so to speak. Saying he would've done the same thing is a crock - or I hope so.

---> To Henry & Taylor: she knows him for a short while, meaning only a date or so.. How she flops into bed with him, or he asks her to move in with him -- at that time -- makes her not only more desperate, but also makes her more of a slut. I'm not sure that's the author's intent on this otherwise very good story. The story moved too fast, without any wording to the contrary.

----> In spite of my comments, looking into what (I hope's) the authors intent, esp. with Henry & Taylor, I'm retaining my earlier 4 stars. Bob

Like the story hated the ending not the accident or dude dying but any form of race is beyound me

Sweet story

This does not happen. Maybe after 3 years but not 20 years unless their marriage was actually bad or failing to begin with. Gina is delusional. This is a well written but preposterous plot. This would not even be a viable plot as is on a day time soap. Quite a trainwreck. Gina has mental issues. That her friends just all accept it is also nuts. John is a first rate asshole. Karma came back on him. Gina and John were only married for a brief time. And she traded in for a marriage that was just normal and no better than what she had, and probably a little worse because of how she built up a fantasy in her mind that at first rose color tinted everything. And definitely short. What a headcase.

Unlike a lot of commenters below, I don't mind that he forgave Gina. As he said what reason does he have to still be angry? He has his new wife, a baby on the way, a lovely daughter, a good job, his own set of new friends, and karma took care of the real asshole John. Gina is clearly mentally challenged. She traded for a fantasy that ended up in a normal, weaker marriage (at least poorer sex). She lost her daughter to some degree and burned Henry and John died a couple of years after the divorce. She remarried later but I doubt it was all that special given she tried to resist going down the aisle again. She was broken emotionally and physically, with no financial means and just lost John (the asshole) who she stupidly loved and worshipped since college and who did not live up to her billing. No need for payback. Karma cleaned up the mess and she regretted what she did and wished she had never left Henry. Good for him to get over the pain and get closure.

I think my biggest issue with the story was the passive way the Husband handled the whole marriage break up. I mean FFS he's defending his fucking wife to his daughter their friends and anyone else like it means anything to for him to act so self effacing and noble.

And then when his wife divorces him he hooks up with another harradin who dominates him exactly the same way his old wife did. Maybe this author just likes Simps but watching men act like compete pussies in the name of I don't know chivalry is just BULLSHIT 😂😂😂

Second time round, still a great story, still 5/5

You took 7 pages to write a two page story.

Second reading and still enjoyed it. Especially the last two or three pages. Really well done.

The daughter Natalie is more of a man than the MC when she tells him to stop defending his future ex.

"I got Gina a job as the personal assistant to one of our competitors." Why? Why the fuck?

Might be BigGuy33's best story tbh

As for Henry forgiving Gina, he'd won. No coincidence his magnanimity came after John bit the dust and he'd knocked Taylor up. Victory goes a long way towards being able to forgive.

5 stars well earned.

Real life then a fairytale

Surprising serendipity storytelling.

Karmic parable? (Initially painful, ending 'Gift of the magi'?....oh henry!)

x.........j (from a month ago) BULLSHIT is what followed your 'name' in this moronic comment. This story is very good, the third time through - thanks!

Just another heartless Cunt and a sissy loser husband pile of shit. Gina is the definition of selfish CUNT! And Henrietta is a loser. Fuck he even stays friends with her after the lies and bullshit. What crap.
