Unique and really fucking awesome story.

5 starssss⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting.

Ouch

enjoyable the first time and just as much the second.

Totally unbelievable even though it fits together so well. That's why I gave it 5-stars again.

How did the a\'author' get this reposted to Literotica ? It has been on here a few years ago.

A wonderful story 5 stars from Xluckylee

Good story. Unique premise for an LW plot. Lydia was definitely a head case. What she did was vile, but in the end Hope ended up in a better place. Weber was an asshole. Not sure why commenters are so keen on understanding why Lydia cheated. She is a plot device to move the story forward along its arc. Who cares? Although I will admit that their confrontation before she signed the divorce papers was quite unemotional. 5 stars for originality.

Not my cup of tea

The word "literally" is a speaking word. We use it in conversations much as we do "uhhh," and "you know," and "totally," etc. You shouldn't use it in writing. In the readers' minds, we "see" something confusing. It's an induced cognitive dissonance, especially for people with his reading comprehension. That's because something is either "literal" or "imagined." Or "metaphorical." Also, in many readers it evokes a confusion between literal and virtual. When he "literally" dropped to the couch, that is opposed to what, "imagining" it? Thinking about it? Contemplating it? When editing, I perform a word search for several words and phrases like this. I know you're trying to write a first-person commentary, but don't write a "literal" one. That's a valid use of the word, by the way. CELTA flags these words as part of the teaching of writing and of teaching English in general. Other misused/abused words/phrases are "bit," "undo," and "head out." All three of these have better, more robust, and descriptive replacements. English has more commonly used words than any language in history. As writers, we need to use them liberally and with purpose. "But don't use a nail when a screw will do."

Story-wise, the quintessential, butt-hurt, angry, and passive-aggressive male is an LW trope that's as pervasive and annoying as the cuckold doormat male. Neither is an endearing lifeform, and both are totally predictable and as alike as anything else cast from a mold. Their anger, actions, planning, and reactions are as preordained as the life cycle of a drop of rain. What would an LW story look like without either the runaway, angry, perfect husband or the doormat cuckold hubby? I don't know, because I'm still waiting. I've read this story before, and the anger, rage, planning, execution, and confrontation were so over-written that I couldn't finish it. I didn't rate it, either.

I am glad you're finding your lost work, but I'd love to see you focus your considerable talent on something new and different.

@AngelRider,

And I wonder how many families have been broken up by said wick dipping.

Good story, second read.

The ending isn't what I expected, seemed to come up short. Can't really say it was bad, just different.

High rating anyway.

"I moved some other boxes and put that box among them trying to make it look like I hadn't seen it." - Why? Isn't he going to confront her?- He probably didn't want to until he had time to think about it.

\

"How do I even bring it up?" - Um, show her what he found? - Capt. Obvious strikes again.

\

What was she planning on doing if he was home for the birth? - Didn't say as I recall.

"Command and General Staff College (C&GS)" - If you use the full name, there's no need to tell us the initials. In the opposite case, if you use the initials, you might want to tell us the full name. - Is this some actual rule or just a preference you expect everyone heed too?

wonderful - very pleased with this story

From a 7 year military Man, long long ago.

I don't know if that's why it was deleted but this is a weak attempt by an author who can do better. It's like the characters barely have any emotions. They just narrate. The only one who briefly shows a glimpse of that, is the slut. You can tell she is a selfish entitled bitch. But the MC barely reacts to that. He makes grand statements like deciding if he wants to kill her but they are empty. He had no reason to help them reconnect. Since he was put on the spot by new wife, he could just let her do it. This trope to force some kind of reconnection to wrap up those stories is both tired and predictable. It's ok to refuse help to people who have harmed you, no righteous fire will come down from the sky for exhibiting even the slightest "pettiness". It's called being a human with emotions.

CINCO ESTRELLAS!

I very much enjoyed the story, thank you for sharing it with us. Having read stories in LW for more years than I care to admit, I have concluded that endings must be the most difficult parts to write. I feel like you absolutely nailed this one.

I have read this story many years ago. I don't remember the author, but I liked the story than and stil like it now.

A tearjerker

4/5

Great writing but it was strangely dispassionate, considering the story line. Lydia apparently did love her husband more than her love child daughter. However, Fred, rightfully, could not tolerate her betrayal and divorced her. Glad that the bastard sperm donor ended up missing, or worse, in some third world shithole. Four stars ⭐️ for this one.

Very good story. It kept me interested from the beginning to the end.

Average as only a couple of sentences to tell how she got together with plumber.

And a few other minor details covered in other comments

Really enjoyed the read, it is a great story. The outcome is a tear jerker. Thanks for your writing.

Very well done. Enjoyed the tale and as a vet makes too much sense

I can't get past this author writing "Jungle Fever." He's trying to write stories to please, but we know what he thinks.

Good story, but disappointing to. She loved her husband enough to give up the child she loved. He then dumps her without any attempt to understand, reconcile, or soften the blow. What a jerk.

Wonderful story!!!!

The place for this is wattapad not literotica😌

The best thing about this story is that you don't quite know what Fred is going to do next. It isn't a whodunnit, but a whatshegunna.

4 Stars on a story I liked . The only thing worse then a guy who cheats with a Serviceman's wife is a Rapist . Everyone knows how Rapist fare in prison .

Mixed emotions to the max. 5.

Loved this story. It brought out all of my emotions thank you.

Huh. Why are commentrs ragging on the MC? She was impregnated but another man while married. She cheated and it led to her delivering a baby. Yeah she gave up the kid. How does that equate to "all good now, let's reconcile". Huh?

Lol, some simps are saying she loved her husband enough to give up her baby. So, he shouldn’t have kicked her out.

SHE FUCKING CHEATED ON HIM AND GOT PREGNANT. AND HID ALL OF THIS FROM HIM.

Lots of soap, well-written

More better sex please

Fred did the right thing, dumping her. Had he stayed married... in time there would be another man. For Lydia 18 years of the unknown and longing was justly deserved.

At least Fred wasn't tormented by her for the rest of his life... as this reader is, in the real world... damn.

He should have killed that stupid hoe

Beautifully written story that came full circle! You’ve dotted the ‘I’s’ and crossed the ‘T’s’! Full Marks 5 – Stars!

Wonderful human interest story worth every one of those five stars. Thank you for sharing these emotions and detective work with me.

He should tell her parents that she gave away their granddaughter.

Great story. I’ve read it previously, but as with all your stories, I enjoyed reading it again. Just a wonderful story all the way through, but made even better by the ending of Weber. Love all these Ephesus military stories.

Great story but weak ending....as usual! still a *5*

Excellent story, well told with twists and turns all the way. I agree the ending seemed rushed. Notwithstanding this comment this is still an excellent story. Well done, keep up the excellent writing.

Well and sensitively written! A totally believable and enjoyable read. Thank you. Well done!

Now this is my kind of cheating spouse reconciliation story; one that doesn't involve anyone bending over backwards and throwing away their morality in the name of "family". Everyone walks away heartbroken but with their dignity intact but then manage to reconcile once the emotions have had time to settle. Maybe its because it reminds of what happened wiyh my own parents and siblings, and having to grow up with a gamily torn in two, but reading a story where everyone gets a happy ending, Fred with Joannie, Lydia with Roland and Sarah with Dwight and Sammir, but with the added benefit of a potential happy reconciliation (minus Kurt) makes me happy in ways i cant even begin to describe.

Oh I could be a male chauvinist pig and say this was a bit of a soppy story, but it's well thought out, has a lot of underlying thoughts running through it.

So good one.

Good, interesting, but lacks something for me to enjoy it.

Another long time favorite tale - thank you Ephesus14 for the repost.

somewhere east of Omaha

Adoption agencies are required to make a reasonable attempt to find the birth father, as he does have rights. We brought my daughter home at 3 days old but it took almost a year to finalize.

I really disliked Fred’s reaction to Sarah/Hope.

It was OK, but not engaging.

First failure was not demanding an explanation from the wife when he found the box.

After that the story was not believable.

Top Shelf!

11/10 Binkies!!!!!

It is strange that Lynda stands for protecting her lover but not her family and husband!

Some interesting concepts, and parts of it are really well written. However, it feels unfinished. This is the second of your stories that you just stopped without resolution. It detracts severely from the story. It also feels like nothing Lydia did made any sense. 3*

Good story, not sure how I feel about the ending. First thing I did was look to see if there was a second part.

I served for 15 years. Had I discovered something like that, there would not have been any happy reunions.

An interesting, if convoluted story.

To those of you who might be thinking how improbable this is, as a psychotherapist I have heard even more improbable tales from clients.

Good story if a bit complicated and as was said in the story astronomical odds of the situation happening like that. I hated that she protected her lover and prioritised his life and relationship over her husbands. For me that was the most unforgivable part. She was very lucky that he agreed to let her reconnect with her daughter so easily but that was just to help the daughter and not her but he really was a very good man and she wasn't a good wife. I would have liked a follow up or an expanded story to deal with what happened next. BardnotBard

Your arrogance is breathtaking! Are you God, to decide what is best for others? Sadler isn’t responsible for the breakdown of Weber’s family. Weber is. Sadler had a moral duty to inform Weber’s wife. He did so. He didn’t hold a gun to her head, and force her to divorce. She had the choice to stay married. Even so, she’s not responsible either.

The only person accountable for children losing their father, is that father, due to his own actions. To place blame on anyone else is morally reprehensible!
