No one was married until the very end so this wasn't much of a LW story. Depressing as hell that he hits and kills a child. And NO police were involved? Highly unlikely.
That Shelly's valentine bit definitely brought a tear to my eye. Good story for sure
Where is the BTB?
I het helping her feeling guilty for her daughters death

A little dark and dreary at times but we need that every so often.
Wrong category and the ending was horrific.
The cute little girl dies, then the mother turns into a depraved druggy whore... what possessed you to end it in such an ugly way?
Sick. With 3000 COVID deaths a day you had to kill a child. I Have been a member for over 10 years and was a fan of your writing during this time. Now I see you as sad angry and hateful and heartless person. Must be a Trump supporter
Yeah! A romance that ends with a loving wife. Unusual for this genre, but well placed. Thanks for an uplifting story, in a less than uplifting time.
but a bit smug and virtue signalish. Too contrived and cooked, kind of Pretty (stupid) Woman with a dead child piled on for affect.
So supposedly Nora was intelligent and skilled at her work, but became homeless when a MAN sexually harassed her? You forgot to tell us this story takes place in the 1950's. Why wouldn't Nora go to HR, the newspaper, the guys wife? Or, why wouldn't Nora get another job, relying on help from friends and family, contacts through her daughter's school system, whatever. Nora doesn't seem to be so intelligent after all, especially when she becomes a drug crazed whore, to compensate for her daughter's tragic death? Yeah, that's real intelligent.
Then rich guy steps in to play the sacrificing indulgent guardian angel, repeatedly bailing out a woman who has no interest in anything but her slow promiscuous destruction. And this the woman who let her child become homeless rather than sleep with her asshole boss? Wow, if she had just become a whore before her daughter got killed maybe the rich guy would have met her while fucking her, and he could still end up a daddy and the husband of a prostitute. What a miss; too bad.
Not one of your better stories, but thanks for the effort.
Tags were misleading. As the story went on, I was expecting Nora to betray him, then it go too close to the end.

Probably a better fit in Romance.
Should probably be in romance or non erotic. But I do agree with Nora, why still pursue her after what she did? And why didn't he use all his money and connections to get her mental health care before she goes all whore/slut/drugs?
Last thing, where was the BTB?
Very unrealistic and fanciful. Not your best work by any means. There wasn’t enough detail or depth in the story to pull me in,
This story appears to be a slight variation of the 2006 "The Ultimate Gift" movie, at least that is how I see it. I wonder what the baby's name was....

And would invoke proprio motu prosecution??? Therefore, 1 star for inventing a legal universe in which anything goes...
Thank you very much for your story. Push the critics aside, great story! 5 *****

I still haven't stopped the tears. One of the nicest I have seen on Lit.com even with virtually no sex.
Only 2nd 5 I have given in the last 100 or so.
So when did you reverse your vasectomy ,not mentioned. What man even with all that guilt would stay with a broken women who was only self destructive after the death of her child. The way you wrote it made it a fairy tale. Can it happen? One in a 100 million.
It was a nice story and it did seem a bit rushed. A lot happened and good old Walt was always doing exactly what was necessary. I know it was ultimately a Valentine's day story, but I found it a bit over the top.
For letting the little girl die!! And why the hell was this even in Loving Wives???? Use to enjoy your stories but the last couple have not been very good.
Seems to be a better fit in Romance, but whatever.
Sad when Shelly died. Sad, not surprised, Nora went off the deep end.
Thanks for sharing.
@dou1t2
Irreversible vasectomy to having a new baby, hows that work?
It was a REVERSIBLE vasectomy, not irreversible.
@lujon2019
Don't you think losing a daughter is enough of a btb?

I've noticed that you don't a lot of things
... a sex website. Even some experienced writers like this one became boring, dramatic, and forgot what this site is about EROTICA. *
It was sweet, and they where right- no sex. 6 stars, because I can't count. The Bear approves.

Thank you so much for this wonderful story
Lost for words, which is unusual for me. 5*. of course.
Where were they? And there was no warning about it being a tearjerker.
That was a good story.
Thanks for that Skippy47.
But it's in a wrong category,
so no ratings from me.
plot was good but the pace was too fast which made development very shallow and the writing a bit wooden so the emotions were muted.
details I liked were; Nora's assault and making her rely on Walt to build the relationship; Shelly's death, although a bit more character development and relationship building would've been good; Shelly's valentine's card was a great tool.
the details I didn't particularly liked were; how rich Walt is, it needed to be toned down a bit to more 'normal' rich; how forceful Walt was in helping Nora, he was basically throwing money in her face, a bit subtlety would've been good; Nora going wild with sex and drugs at the end, I'll be honest that her sleeping with many men just turned me off. Maybe attempted suicide would've been better pathway and you use the recovery as a development point instead.
Calling 911 would have brought the police as well as rescue...but, it's your universe and anything you say is possible - Saddletramp always starts his stories with something to that effect.
As always,
A good story from Skippy47. Thank you.

Irreversible vasectomy to having a new baby, hows that work?
The story said it was a REVERSIBLE vasectomy, not irreversible.

I see that you have a hard time getting a lot of things.
Wrong category, wrong tags, poor structure and storyline, messed up pace, and another white knight story.
Stick to BTB.
Marry her? HELL NO!!!!! Who knows what kind of diseases have been shot into that cunt. Probably hurt for the rest of my life but would not want to hang around with a blatant reminder of the source of that pain and what could have been.
For trump, at least the Q-anon conspiracy's & storming the capitol would've kept shelly alive. She reminds me of the personification of Ashli Babbit.
The worst thing about this story are some of the miserable trolls with their comments. I feel sorry for a few wives! I loved your story, could only give it 5*.

Rather than Qanons following you there appear to be a bunch of DFanons (dumb fuck). Great story, if only.......
I agree, turn the page
I honestly don’t know what to do with this story. I always knew that I and many do not read stories about wimps and weaklings. We want to know and experience people that are more beautiful, intelligent or smarter than us. This story went on and on about this proud woman and her hardship. It took twists and turns that honestly did not make sense before she actually accepted her fate that he was ultimately responsible for. Even the conclusion … it was as if you could not decide how to end it for this man and woman – HOW to end her misery! But anyway … your story – your decision! I have enjoyed some of your other stories – Skippy47 I KNOW you’re a good writer this however was not one of your best efforts!
People are referencing Qanon in LW. Guess I can confidently take it as a sign the apocalypse is upon us. Shortly Kamala will be president and we will be Venezuela.
Good story, but his money was really a footnote. The title could have been more creative. The writer should feel good about the work, when the reader only comments on the title.
A brilliant tale and a very good ending! It's always great when things work out eventually for the odd couple. I liked it very much A quant little ditty about the good that still lurks in people although you sometimes have to dig deep. Thank for sharing! Full Marks - 5-Stars!
My score is only because I would have preferred a happy ending. Love your work.
A very moving 5. Skippy47, like moreandmore, tries to do something original each time out. And being more prolific, Skip has both hits and misses. This one is way above his usual. And in answer to 6227, the MC does state in the second paragraph that he "had a REVERSIBLE vasectomy" (capital letters mine).
I don't think the child had to die so everything did not work out alright in the end. Apart from that a very good story and well written.
a half hour in a hospital means over an hour in real time.
Aint that the truth.
Your best one yet!
You write some good and some bad stories...some you have left holes in but they are readable and most hold your attention. I liked this one,but you did lose track a bit..you forgot he had been sniped so he would not get any playmates pregnant. So do we have to believe in immaculate conception. just yanking your chain,you did write reversible,you just forgot to enter in the story that he did.
For destroying a good story. Congrats. It was bad enough you killed the kid off but then turned the mother into a drug fueled whore??? And then basically glossed over it like it was nothing.
I will never understand why decent writers need to do the Literotica Shock and Awe by jumping the Shark.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🤔 I liked this story overall. But, there are serious problems here. You introduce the MC as a rich, entitled, smug, pompous ass. This showed up under the BTB heading. When Nora is introduced, the expectation is that they will get together, and eventually she will get burned. It proceeds into a love story. Then, you kill off Shelly and turn her mother into a drug-addicted whore. Remember, this is supposed to be a BTB story. Surely, they will marry, she'll fuck up and get burned. Nope! Straight romance. And, the MC turns out to be a good guy. Even as a romance story, I dislike it for the reasons previously mentioned. But, it's NOT a BTB at all!
Skippy47 I don't care what anyone say's this is a wonderful story and I loved it. You should write more like it. Some of the comments were absolutely asinine. Beautitul story. So the mother couldn't deal with her daughters death for a while and went off the deap end, that is life. It happens. That man was tuff enogh and in love enough to weather the storm. He found purpose and love. She found happiness after tragedy. A short True love story of antifquity style.
What is it w you?!? One minute we get a crap ending, the next a hugely beautiful story - 🥺
@alvinjfrazier...
Just because literotica mis-categorized it, doesn't mean the story is any less valid.
It's not the author's fault. He wrote the story as is, posted it, and you get to read it for free.
He wasn't a cuck, wasn't a wimp, and she deserved the outcome too.
There are plenty of BTB stories, this isn't one of them. Get over yourself.
From an avid reader of BTB stories.
Why would a man want such a stupid woman with no sense at all? Whores at least are honest, get paid for a business transaction. This woman described was.... Just trash. Why would any man want trash like this? No person worth loving could ever be this much of a waste... Seriously.
Why woukd any of the commenters want this to be a btb story? I felt real pity for Nora. Thought the three time through rehab was over the top but her daughter died and she lost the last precious thing, killing off her dreams to be with Walt. And yet rhe guy was a patient saint and in the end they found each other. They both deserved some measure of happiness.
I thought he said he had an irreversible vasectomy! How'd they make their child?
Uh... RaynmanX... Learn to read and re-read before you comment. It said specifically "reversible."
The thing about being a KISA and saving the damsel in distress, is now you have a distressed damsel on your hands. 3*
The inane woman mma bit loses 2 stars. Just stupid, feminized, detached from reality writing.
I looked it. Ending made me sad that she went bat shit crazy but I get it I guess.
I don't understand the substitute though.... Didn't see any revenge in the story. And if course would have been better in romance. Nice though overall.
I was fully vested in the story until Shelby died. I don't understand how that added anything to the story.
Belongs in romance. Definitely wouldn't have married her after her "going bat shit crazy." At that point, I'd of just been a helpful friend. Twice. The third time, I'd of just let her destroy herself.
Wonderful story, 10 stars! Shelly did get her daddy, mommy, after being stupid for a while, got a loving husband and a new baby girl...
