I don’t know… Love makes you do crazy things, but the bridge home had too much damage for me to ever return… Jus’ sayin’… but a nice read!! Thank you
Very nicely done. I appreciated the thoughtful approach to the disrespect, the consideration of feelings and alternatives, and to working to a resolution.
One part I failed to grasp is why the evil friend gave up on the wife when the wife was served divorce papers. That was the friend's goal. If it was because the husband said he was financially strapped, why did she go out with the wife that night. The divorce papers were the evil friend's desired outcome, but she bailed after they were served.
I apologize for being a wuss about my own divorce from from a selfish cheating wife. I'm just a disillusioned old mechanic.
5 stars. Not sure I wanted the reconciliation with just the sheer level of disrespect the wife had shown but hey, it still worked well enough. I'd honestly love a story from the wife's perspective to see how she fell so hard under Diedre's spell, maybe a bit of revenge visited on the gold digging "best friend" for catharsis.
4. stars, would have been 4.55 if he insisted on post-nup. I generally hate reconciliations, but this one was sold reasonably well. That, or divorce but stay together, so he no longer has any problem walking away, and she always feels pressured to treasure him.

I'm with @Harddaysknight, I'm a bit surprised the evil bitch abandoned her idea after divorce was served; she could have just leeched off of her unfairly judicially stolen gains from divorce easily. The story would have worked better if the useless selfich "wife" dumped her friend on her own decision. That accounted for second deducted half-star.
Eh mostly been covered hard got the question I had. Idk care about the cat mostly but I don't like ur definition of romance lol. At least it wasn't the boring predicted romance but still not romance In my opinion. A women groveling for a cheating husband is not romance. Its just sad. Actually surprised there wasnt more comments about that part no excuse for cheating
I do love it when the good guy wins, a Bitch is burned, and a martiage savef and/or reborn... ...and in this case, the burnef bitch wasn't throwing, it was the female predator, using the wife for everything she could glom off of her !

"Ding-dong, the Deirdre's dead..."
LOL !

This one got 5 stars from here.
I can see why you put it in romance. I totally agree. You gave us rough then sweet. Well done. 5stars
Mixed feelings:
1. She disses him, marriage is 100% her preferences.
2. He's had enough, has her served.
3. He spends a week shagging the girl server.
4. She's broken, marriage now 100% his preferences.
ׄ
She dissed him and lost.
He cheated on her and won.
Not LW, not romantic.
But quite well written.

There is no doubt that money (or lack of it) brings out both the good and evil in humans. If having it (or not having it) makes a difference in whether or not you can have a loving relationship, it wasn’t love anyway. I enjoyed this story and have seen some similar things happen in real life. I wasn’t crazy about him choose to screw the process server, but I can see how his wife’s friend relationship was a form of infidelity.
Around my neck of the woods calling a guy 'dude' earns a knuckle sandwich.Check a dictionary, actually a few,as not all are thorough..One of the explanations is"a growth on a horse's penises"So educated author,choose your words better. Just pointing out what is not common knowledge but good to know.
How can there be any scope for reconciliation after she let another man feel her up, tonguefuck her and dryhump her? Even after she was warned?
Enjoyable read. I’m a sucker for a good romance story, even ones with the pitfalls depicted in this. Good character development, nice pace, good dialogue and a clean well defined plot line.
Overall, this was a well written piece with one major hole towards the end when the snake bailed. If separation and divorce was actually her real objective, why bail?
Was into it right up until you turned him into a petulant child. He seemed like he had a good head on his shoulders and then just randomly fucks the server? You lost a lot of potential by avoiding confrontation and discussion and instead went the power fantasy route with sunny. That also firmly robbed it from being an actual romance story. The set up was there to tell a reconciliation into romance but it came off firmly as loving wives and a revenge fic.
I really enjoyed this story from start to finish. The only gap was after the "advice" from his son, Derek, the kids disappeared from the entire storyline. One way or the other, they would have played a part in this drama. 4.5*
Liked it a lot. 5 stars from Xluckylee. I don't think you need to hear why readers like your stories, we either like or not . You are a good writer, thank you for sharing your stories.
It got to one minute to midnight! Touch and go if they were able to pull back from the edge of the precipice.
Will they be able rebuild trust? That is the hardest bit of recovering from a badly damaged relationship.
Nice story. Kept me entertained, and isn’t that the whole point?
.
However (it’s always something, isn’t it?) — 2 things about the tale bothered me:
.
First: it was just too difficult to accept that Hailey was THAT stupid! Especially after he confrionted her several times about the bitch friend. Just holy shit….she goes out trolling that last Friday night with the bitch? Just incomprehensible.
.
Second: it demeaned his integrity and character to fuck Sunny….and especially to do so repeatedly. OK. OK. People are flawed…he was boiling mad….the little tramp threw herself at him….yada yada. But I would have preferred if he refused…at least until the divorce was done deal.
.
Final quibble….where were the kids all this time? After playing a role in getting Robbie to find his balls….they just disappeared from the story.

good that they made up and stayed married. But, I liked the first 2 pages better
All very strange, I guess it's just based on common tropes and didn't care to flesh the characters out. So we have this 'new friend' twists the mind of the 'loving wife', but no real explanation as to how they became such great friends or anything beyond the bland she's evil and hates the MC as to why. Likewise, the MC is such a great guy that we can't possibly understand why any LW would act as Hailey did.
The MC is also a business owner, of some success, but the wife has no real idea about it all, to the extent that he can fob her off with ideas of pay cuts etc.
Honestly it all seems like he's a boring twat that has long taken his marriage for granted and has always thought that money and things buys an easy life and a faithful wife.
As for this guy magically boning 20 year old when he can't even satisfy his 40+ wife, yeah I don't think so.
Well written and entertaining but I don't think the Sunny episodes helped to identify with the MC. Also for a character so pivotal to the story the poisonous friend was almost invisible as far as details were concerned. But overall a good story thanks. BardnotBard
