All Comments on 'Happily Ever After... Interrupted'

Amazing story. I'm writing this through my tears. Both characters were so real so the tragedy of their life and their ending hit home. Congrats Hooked.

This story was so sad, the unrequited love that should have been. Traci ruined Jason and they tried to act as a shadow in the rest of his life.

I cried more for Jason in this story that while he had a busy life, there was really no one there for him in the end. Traci took it away from him and never gave him permission to find it himself.

Great writing and a great story!

If one is lucky in their career or passion they have a defining moment - you have two in your writing. When One Door Closes and this one are a couple of my favorites on this site. Thank you Hooked for your gift to us the readers!

One of the best

Loved this story. Life rarely turns out completely as we have hoped or planned but there are those moments and periods of time.

JASON WAS A CUCK, FIRST CLASS CUCK.

A WEAK WIMP LOSER IS AN EMBARASSMENT TO THE SEALS!

SHE WAS A SLUT

I have read several of your stories and you are one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing your talent.

very sad but beautiful

This was terrible...he couldn't move on from a college slut? Terrible

Well, if that's not live, I don't know what it is. He might deni it and might not say it but this is actually love.

I just think he was too broken inside.

You are a SEAL the best in the world but you can't move on with your life. What a whimp and you give the SEAL a bad reputation.

If she was 72 now, technology would have prevented her from texting in college, cellular phones would have come along later.

One of your best and that is saying something. Your talent is outstanding

Shit that was pretty good.

"She would become 18 or so for hours at a time, back to when her love for Jason was probably at its strongest"

Back when she thought Jason was a manchild and was already planning on getting some strange while away at college... such strength!

Saddest story I have read in a very long time. Maybe forever. But very well written, brought this old retired Army NONCOM to tears several times. Well done.

By the way, military members refer to each other by specific titles: Navy personnel or are Sailors, Marine’s are just that, marines, Air Force are addressed as Airmen, and US Army are “Soldiers”! Only army uses the title Soldier. And SEALS are SEALS. Period!,,

This story made me cry.

Beautifully written and very believable.

Liked the story. The lack of understanding of the military, military ranks, and how members of the military address each other detracted from the story. Just a little research would have solved that problem.

There were mixed feelings through this tale but to me the saddest part was the ridiculous nit picking about minor details. A story is to enjoy, not to dissect like a frog in biology. A very good story like 'When One Door Closes'.

Good story. It’s a fact that some things just cannot be fixed once they’re broken. Jason was a perfect example. I think that’s why I liked the story so much. After Traci destroyed their relationship he made a conscious decision to never love her again and he lived with it. Forgave her but never loved her again. Perfect. I did have to laugh when the Seals were called “soldiers”. Nope, won’t work. Sailors maybe, Seals, yeah. Soldiers? No way.

:-)

Excellent. It might be fiction but has too too many sad parallels in the real world.

Oh FFS this is basically the longest running cuckold story ever

what a foolish story

Honestly, I enjoyed it. But I guess for me, by the end of the story he came off looking more like the bad guy than she did.

She was dishonest when she was 20, shitty thing to do, perfectly justifiable to bail.

He used her for decades to have a family knowing she had feelings for him and it was probably torture.

Which one of those is worse?

I may not have liked some of the things in this story I loved the part where he was able to forgive his child hood sweet heart and take care of her in the end had me using the tissues five

Well done but sad

Soldier???? Not good. You don't call a sailor a soldier.

Superb controlled writing.

That’s a heart breaker.

Loved this

So sad. A 5, but so sad when and what happens when someone becomes a cheater.

What I hate about this type of story is the whole unrequited love bullshit. The premise that there's only one true person for you is so dumb though obviously less romantic than pining away for 60 years waiting for your one true love geezus give me a break!

O, great. More seals. Ort! Ort! Ort! Ort!

Was this a challenge to see how many times can you mention SEAL in one story?

So sad.😢

better than a good story,a little repetitive,but well written just the same. Good Realistic fiction and easy to read because of it. Nothing over the top or outrageous to ruin it. 5 stars....JZK

OMG another tear jerker, fantastic story

Not romance, just another trash story by this cuck writer

Areal 2nd Lieutenant? If you're going to use the military in you stories, at least learn the ranks. For Navy, Lieutenant JG. Lieutenant Junior Grade,

Correction. Ensign is the equivalent to a 2nd Lieutenant in Army, Air Force and Marines. Lieutenant zzjG is equivalent to 1st Lieutebant.

What a sad but beautiful store you are a great writer keep writing

10 *****Star for all you have written and will publish

thanks

Calling SEALS Soldiers???

Excellent story. Shows real emotion and caring. We all have regrets but Traci was able to repair in some small measure and give Jason a semblance of a family.

Great story, but he was a sailor, not a soldier.

I wanted a forevermore marriage to Tiffany, my childhood friend and love. However, I was wounded during Grenada and lost my leg. Out of the Army, out of the Rangers, and she divorced me while I was in Walter Reed. I was kept dumb the whole time. She was awarded everything, and I returned to no one to pick me up, and nothing to return to. I lived on several couches belonging to bikers who literally picked me up because I was in uniform. They helped me rebuild me life. She cost me my sons, both died, Afghanistan got one and Iraq got the other. I got her older sister Angel, and her five daughters.

Great story, Enough said.

Blasphemy! SEALs are sailors.Basic research 101.

Semper Fi....

romance? bitch never gave a fuck about him and he was just pathetic. wtf...

When you are that young…..start of story…..one can only hope that each one can realize the impermanent nature of ‘love’…….actually at that age limmerance and lust are mixed in in large amounts with…..even if there is any real love at all. One has to take things far less seriously at age 18 or 20…….actually into the late 20’s one must not take matters of the heart with such great seriousness. Young people are all over the place and can’t really understand themself or their partner. A partner really can’t be fully responsible until they reach into their late 20’s. Parents need to explain these things early on. Youngsters will end upon kissing a lot of frogs early on……but need to go on and only really start focusing on a partner only when reaching about 25 or a bit more nowadays. Both sexes in todays world need to see what is out there but still act responsibly and not cheapen themselves in the process. Today young people need about 5-6 more years of seasoning before they pick a life partner. These two …..he was more old fashioned and was more mature earlier but his woman needed even more than 5-6 extra years to mature. Understanding all the elements of sex takes even longer and it takes a while before a youngster can realize all the elements that seem to elevate sex …..most are newness and the outside factors that flavor the experience rather than objective factors. One example….size? Some women swear by it yet lesbians wring fainting orgasms from their partners using only the pushing of one sex on another…..no 10 inch cock will do as well for them. The illicit nature of the affair vs sex on a weekday where both married partners must be up in 5 hours. Takes a lot of maturity to understand these factors and avoid throwing away and ruining lives and relationships. The homecoming queen seldom is able to live happily ever after with the star quarterback in real life…….but if they had waited 4-5 years after college they would have a chance to do so. R. H.

Fooled me … thought he was going to end up with Katie.

Thanks @Hooked1957 for another enjoyable read.

Why is this in Romance?

Loved the story. Really sad. Jason ranks make no sense. There is no second lieutenant in the navy. There is a lieutenant junior grade which an officer would reach in under 2 years and he would be pushed out if he was still that rank after 20 years.

This a perfect example of "young and dumb". The rather lengthy comment below is accurate so won't regurgitate them same. I would have put this in mature category but in the end no harm done. Overall a good read but sad.

So sad he in many ways 1aated his life at least on a personal level . Too bad he did not see get back wirh her earlier.

This story brought a tear to my eye and that doesn’t happen often. Great story.

We together, as we hold each other tight, are sooooo misty! Relishing our forever love for each other To The Moon And Back as we enter our sunset lives - together thru life and together we will be as one of us waits with our heartfelt loss to join our other in ashes to ashes and finally dust to dust ❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing your soul with us with this story of life long love - even if there was never final I Do’s.

That was a crushing end even if maybe expected. Sad to us even so.

I don't know who was more stupid. I also don't much like the trope of the guy leaving everything and joining the military after being dumped by a chick. Fuck that bs.

Loved this story. As with all your stories, very well written.

Just WOW, great story, told so well.

At 85, A well penned story can still break ones heart and bring the tears.

Thomas Connell, Class 59-03N

Lots of real life in there. Living that stories ending right now with my wife of 42 years. Please keep writing.

Wow. Just a heart-wrenching tale. Decently realistic, but devastating. A true story of “what could have been.” I think you have a knack for fine writing and hope you’ll continue to post.

Loved it. I won't rag you on your mistakes about promotion schedules and if you aren't advancing you are likely on your way to being pushed out. That's the way with all the services. The beauty of the story was the love that was lost, and even though he couldn't admit it found again. 5-stars.

Great story, made this old man cry

Wow

This author is gifted.

Great story, sad, but realistic. You do write well.

Another fantastic story by Hooked.

Great story, but one small issue. USI wasn't officially USI until 1985. The timeline for that university with that name and with the ages of these folks cannot work.

Best of the show.

good lord that was a difficult read... very touching emotional story of two sad and tragic lives shattered and paths diverted by cheating.

I gave it 5 stars but I didn't love it. I would have craved a happier life for them or an abbreviated BTB story so I didn't get so many "feels."

Story should have ended with Jason telling her he loved her at some point... say when they privately talked after her Alzheimer's prognosis was delivered, when he said he was going to take care of her in front of the kids or when they found the burial plots.

in real life, there'd be some healing of hearts over the weeks-months-years and growth in affection and love. I'll cling to that to get over the sadness of this story.

This story was great. Once again you have brought me, the reader into the heart and soul of the story. I love the way you tell a tale that solicits pure emotions on a visceral level Also, it was also ironic to read about a selfish lover who finally got back to teenage love: though somewhat unrequited. I often wonder what a story would read like where the self absorbed woman was given a glimpse of her future before she strayed? Not some time travel but instead an object lesson by experiencing vicariously, cheating ramifications and pitfalls somehow... Finally, although Jason seemed well adjusted, he also seems to be punished in not having a family of his own? TFS

💥💥💥💥💥 if I could do 5 or 500,000 more I would. My sons are dead, both were Rangers. My mind is going, I did my service in 80 to 86, I too was a Ranger.

Absolutely one of the best stories ever on this site. I experienced something of this sort earlier in my life.

Story ended just right. Sometimes the chances are rare and bad decisions are made when they come.

The ending always gets to me.😢

I was very moved by this story. I was only in my early thirty's when my wife and mother of my three children had a major mental health crisis and our marriage broke down. If it wasn't for the children I might well have killed myself.

I have had other relationships,one of which lasted 40 years only ending when she died aged 85.

Much to my surprise 5 years later

I didnt intend to post my unfinished comment.

5 years later much to my surprise I met a woman on a dating site and we quickly became very attracted to each other. It is now 3 years later and I am experiencing the most wonderful love mixed with sadness as i am 83 and will probably leave her within the next 10 years.

So I wept as i read the ending of your story.

I have just re-read this this beautiful bitter-sweet tale. I cried again.

Sometimes when we are young we make bad choices that affect the rest of our lives, I know I did.

However, as I said earlier sometimes we get an unexpected gift.

Wow ... what an ending.

He loved her.

Best tragedy I’ve read on this platform in a long time. The guy’s response to the attachment injury he experienced was so layered it rang out with truth. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The story was certainly great, evoking emotions intending from a good story teller. However, my deep involvement was shattered when the author revealed he knew so little about the US military. As the Navy / military is a binding thread in the story he should have at minimum done an internet search for Navy ranks and designations. There are no 2nd Lieutenants in the Navy. Entry level officers are called Ensigns. Seals are not soldiers, they are sailors regardless of duty assignment. If you don't know don't write about it. Story started as a 5, but like Jason's betrayal I could never reconcile authors very basic error. As a retired military person, it irks me when people prattle on about a life they don't know, and don't ask.

Great read as usual but I wish Jason could’ve gotten over his pain and had children of his own. At least a son to carry on his legacy . 5 stars

This very poignant and sad story about what might have been, but never was, is easily a five star ⭐️ story. Hooked is one of few writers in the LW genre capable of evoking deep emotions! Thank you for this story!

BTW, Navy SEALS are sailors, not soldiers.

Usually I rate your stories higher, but...also a retired soldier so the mistake really grated on my nerve. Plus...skipped right over the EXTREMELY rare happenstance of how he came to be commissioned from the enlisted ranks.

A great read, but a painful read. 5+

This story shows how betrayal can alter a person and their life. He was never able to find another to love and could never find the deep love he had for her again. He forgave her but never could forget.

Nicely written, with just the right touch of love lost and life. Well done!

So far this is my favorite Hooked story.

5/5

Your best.

Write more like this.

You write very well but some stories are formulaic & show the male MC as a Wimp.

This was a perfect story.

Lot of angst and pathos. So much left unfulfilled.

Superb

A wonderful story, probably one of the best that I have read on Literotica.

I hope you write more of these kind of stories.

Well now I’m depressed

I guess you could say I'm "hooked..!"😉

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (...second time I've read this- it was a 5 star back then as well.)

This was heartbreaking!

Excellent; more would be superfluous. Five Stars from me!

The MC could’ve had a set of nards and taken her back at the bar before her marriage. But none of this writers men have much in the gonad department.

Beautiful story. But one note: SEALs are sailors, not soldiers.

Such a good tale, thank you for sharing Hooked! My second stroll through. 5 stars

somewhere east of Omaha

How do you join the Navy, later become a Second Looie, when the Navy nomenclature is "Ensign", then a LCDR (seem to skip the steps in between, like LTJG, LT and such) then a CDR?

Odd.

Not sure how this is happily ever after.

Not sure about the Navy rankings, but the storyline works well, otherwise. Thank you.

Other than the ranks for Navy personnel, Jason should have had a full military honors funeral, as well. This is also a story that I read outlook to my wife - great time together.
