What a warm and passionate story. To see such happiness for two divorced people really felt good. This tale was so well written and had such great characters.

Absolutely wonderful story. We all die but sometimes it breaks my heart to read about it.

I woke up at 1:30 this morning and, after using the bathroom, checked the computer to see if the new stories had been posted. As soon as I saw your name, I opened the story and started reading. It was two hours well spent.

You've done again.

You only got 5 stars because that was all they allowed.

Damn good story. Thank you for writing it.

GumpershnickalGumpershnickalover 2 years ago

I like the story, but it was a rambling mess at times, you would go off on these tangents that ended up having no relation to the story, which would be fine if it didnt happen in the middle of something happening

I need to add

I am so happy to see an LW story that is not written about or by a cuckhold

Loved the first 4 or 5 chapters BUT then you got carried away and got all somewhat off the track Maybe it is just me (jaybee186)

Boring. Uninteresting characters and overblown settings. Stilted dialog. And no real point or tension to the story. Not your best work.

AnonymousAnonymousover 2 years ago

You are the best Q. Thanks

It's always a great day when Q posts a new story! He's Lit's 'Man of The Year' five years running! No one else tells a story as well as qhml1.

AnonymousAnonymousover 2 years ago

Pros: Well-written, moments of humor. Had a nice, easy pace to the building romance.

Cons: Predictable plot, not much tension. And what's with all the slapping? It's a cliched, oversused mechanic in these scenes.

Not one of your best but still pretty solid.

AnonymousAnonymousover 2 years ago

So why isnt this in romance? Awesome romance story. I kept waiting for angie to cheat as it was put in LW.

servant111servant111over 2 years ago

Simply the very bestest love story EVER! Dammit qhml1 you keep doing this to me and my favorites list will basically read right off your story list. I am about 8 months shy of my 70th birthday and our 50th wedding anniversary myself. I guess that’s why your understated style in this monumental love story resonated so strongly with me. This one is simply a pearl of great price resounding with life truths which resonate through your framing deep and real life characterizations and choices made with consequences. There is no great soliloquy stating tortuous “great” truths; nope it’s small verbal gestures filled with hidden meaning awaiting rereading and quite contemplation.

This one goes to my secret bookshelf. It will reside there quietly gaining further value with age. Then on special occasions I will silently descend down the stairs, find and remove it from its honored place, decant it like a spectacular vintage, sit in my old and comfortable chair, and again savor a tale filled with unvarnished life truth and the regal trappings of a family of true unconditional love.

Thank you for an exceptional work. 5 stars of course.

So was stating the story was edited by blackrandi supposed to do something special for the reader? It was just another mediocre story. Don't pat yourself on the back too hard.

AnonymousAnonymousover 2 years ago

The Best , What more can I say.

AnonymousAnonymousover 2 years ago

When I see Qhml1 I know it's going to be a good story. When I see Blackrandl1958, I know it's going to be a well polished story. I wasn't disappointed. Top marks.

What can I say. In "Loving Wives" you present a story covering generations. Even has a happy ending without being too "Mills and Boonish". Thank you. Cheers.

As usual top shelf. 5's... enuff said.

amygdalaamygdalaover 2 years ago

Damm that was an amazing read, The author knocked this one out of the park. There are so many great qualities to this story that if I started writing I would run out of space. But one thing I love was the commitment to family through the ups and downs, and enjoying the journey each step of the way with the ones you love.

steeltiger01steeltiger01over 2 years ago

Still the master at giving us a heart-wrenching love story. Plain folks, living good lives & taking care to lend a hand when needed. Christ, the world could use more people like this.

Marvellous! Wonderful story. My congratulations Mr. Artist. You have a lot of storytelling talent.

It is really heartening to read such a story in LW which has become a place of mud and other garbage.

Thanks for sharing your talent.

Good story. Thanks for posting.

AnonymousAnonymousover 2 years ago

Dialogue? A lot of it was wooden, for example: "We were beside the Uber. "I think, sweet Angie, that you sell yourself short. I have a feeling you would be like a volcano, ready to erupt any minute and lay waste to those in front of you. I think it would be a good way to die. Goodnight, Angela, it was a pleasure to meet a woman of your quality." A far more annoying issue, though, is the casual vulgarity. Is it a regional thing? Where would anyone have the kind of conversation about a date that the MC had at the company party with strangers? What is it with the repetitive "head out of you ass" refrain? The author makes the MC sound like the the near minimum wage, tatted up, low IQ, low information element of my gym. Then there's the oozing sentimentality toward the end...just wonderful, oddly vulgar swaddled in treacly sentiment. This author has done better.

dragonmann72dragonmann72over 2 years ago

A very well written story.

I have to ask though, when did Ben become Hue just to go back to being Ben?

"Hello Ben. Let me introduce my date. This is Reggie Wilkes. Reggie, my ex-husband, Ben."

"Hue was a good man when we got together. As we got more successful, he got more arrogant, thinking his success should justify anything.

Ben Sr. came to see me one day, apparently to threaten me. "Stay away from my grandchildren! They're not yours."

AnonymousAnonymousover 2 years ago

What can I say, you write stories that people love and love to read. I can think of no higher praise than that for a wordsmith. You and Randi make a great team. Together you two make up over half of my top 20 story list. Thanks Q, 5 STARS.

Enjoyed this immensely. Great author that has never disappointed me. Kudos, keep up the great work…

AnonymousAnonymousover 2 years ago

I've read and enjoyed several of your stories but this was in the wrong category. Sure, you wrote about spouses cheating and leaving the ones they vowed to love and cherish forever but this was way past that mindset. This had to be one of the best Romance stories on the site.

For those who haven't learned from experience the worst thing that can happen to an older person is to suffer a fall the requires surgery. The anesthesia can become overwhelming to the older patient and what was once simple becomes risky and to often deadly.

TiredOldMan502TiredOldMan502over 2 years ago

I don't hand out five stars too often but this tale was so well written, I had no other choice. Two nits to pick. First, I think this story probably should have been in the Romance category, as that is what it is at its core. Second, I was hoping for more of a redemption story for Benny Jr. but I understood why his story ends as it does, as it propels the plot towards the finale. Well done, and I look forward to your next submission.

What a tear jerker!

Thanks for writing it!

AnonymousAnonymousover 2 years ago

Thank you for this wonderful story. It was rich with relationships, love in so many ways and how people should be treated. Reggie and Angie were the perfect power couple who were loving, caring and sensitive to family and friends. How they met was perfect. How they grew in their relationship was the way it should be for second timers. I've enjoyed many of your earlier pieces of writing. Again, thank you for this gift of writing. K

Dittybopper6989Dittybopper6989over 2 years ago

Well, I finished and I'm exhausted. There were parts that seemed to drag on, but for the most it was fluid. The Benny Jr. part didn't quite fit with the rest of the story, I guess it was his lack of love for Heather, that was out of the story theme.

Demosthenes384bcDemosthenes384bcover 2 years ago

Damn - left me in tears at the end. Thank you for a beautiful story that was entertaining, soulful, and took me out of my world and into yours for a bit. Your ability to interleave different plot lines into a cohesive story never ceases to amaze me. Only crumb left on the plate is what ever happened to the flaming red head Angie walked into the bar that night? Maybe that's another story... Well done! 5*

Fantastic

Yet another fantastic story from you . To be honest I love to say thank you for sharing your stories with me and the rest of the loving wife category readers who also love your stories. Please don’t ever even think about stopping writing these fantastic stories because without writers like you and a few others this site would be worthless. So a big thank you for writing these stories ok

It seems unreasonable that a fictional story, about fictional people, can make me cry. I guess that's my old age showing thru the cracks. Fine story told by one of the very best on this site. Grats!

Can you believe that soon I will have been writing here for ten years? I never imagined I'd last that long. I figured I would run out of story ideas long before now. Instead I've filed over a hundred story ideas yet to be written. I'm retiring in a few weeks. I'm going to us...
