Wasn't Kate the Hot Wife in your first stories? I hated those! Some of us have good memories.
Why don't you tell us about that, how your marriage and your love survived (and be honest).
Lovely. Heartwarming.
Thanks for giving us this Valentine's nugget.

Beautiful life story, I wish all the happiness for the next 25 years and more!
Wish we all could make the right decision when getting that type of smile. The biggest issue is knowing yourself and making sure its love not lust (and knowing the difference is the tricky algorithm). I'm on #2 and both are mistakes - in retrospect I should have never married. I was raised by faux love parents so I never knew what real love is to look and find it. All I knew was the end of a belt that I vowed to never do to my kids, and didn't but they did learn the world 'no'.

5.5* Hooyah, Salutes...
Only twenty years? (per the intro)
Newlyweds, that's what you are, newlyweds ;^) ;^) ;^)
"I'm certain, like me, she's had many opportunities to stray. It's hard to be a modern businessman or woman, on the road at a conference or whatever, without some siren or stud trying to get in your bed. I know I've resisted the temptations and I'm 99.99% certain my lovely bride has as well." Uh huh. Trust, but verify, dude. You want to believe that, but do you really know?
Hitting pretty close to home for me. Wife and I had our 50th yesterday!!! Feb 12. Thanks for the good feelings
To answer anonymous below. We removed the Hotwife Kate stories because they were fiction but people read them and mistakenly thought they were real. The stories were written as fantasies, Kate hated them and I removed them after numerous comments calling Kate a whore and me a cuck. Our Smile tale is a fantasy based on mostly true events, with names and places changed. One thing is true, Kate and I have kept our vows, no playing with others and happy we have been monogamous all the decades of our marriage. Happy Valentines Day.
That’s what love looks like. Well done BK, I think I’ll arrange a nice evening out with my bride of 35 years. She’s more than I deserve and I think it’s time, once again, to let her know how much I appreciate her.
Five stars!
42 years for us loved the tale. Happy Valentine's day to you. Have enjoyed your stories
I once told a group of mixed company that my wife and I were celebrating our
twenty fifth year of a great marriage. Her only response was "18."
I also enjoy your writing and love the fact you are a couple in the regular sense. My wife and I made 48 1/2 years I hope you make 50. Although one things certain I shan't be sitting here reading you then. Meanwhile 5 🌟
Congrats to both of you. I'm pleased to say that I'm on a similar trajectory... *****
Fantastic
Well written and gave me a smile 😃
Please do keep writing and I will keep reading
Nice !
34 years here on February the 14th. I instantly knew she was the one, yet there were many twists and turns on that 33 years road.
Hey ProfesseurX - the twists and turns are what make the road interesting (writing as someone who has owned multiple Triumph automobiles and Ducati Sportbikes).
Glad so many readers commented on their great relationships - congratulations to you all.
What more can be said, than others have;
The story was great, so well done.
Just want to add one little note;
I want to read more for a real lift.

Loved the story, thank you, 5*. I just have one request. I’d love to know what happened ‘that weekend’. I’m sure, like you, Kate never did anything inappropriate but I am also pretty sure the guy tried it on. Would really like to know how she dealt with it. Could even be a story in its own right. Any chance?

Glad you enjoyed the story, but sorry, what happened that weekend will always be a mystery. As in the story, when Kate and I first started dating and before we were exclusive, she was invited to CA by a wealthy, successful man she met through work. Kate returned and swore nothing romantic happened and we became exclusive shortly thereafter. Since I've never caught her in a lie in all our years together, I'm 99.99% certain she told me the truth and I've never asked about that weekend since the day she returned. Trust is part of a successful marriage and leaving well enough alone is part of that trust.
The high quality I've come to expect of a BillandKate story.
Sweet without being saccharine.
Well written romance story that had a great storyline, always enjoy the high-quality stories that BillandKate write. 5/5
Wonderful story. I myself was incredibly lucky to meet thr love of my life also under unlikely circumstances. In my case literally a one in million or less chance. And being her being so beautiful definitely meant any number of guys hitting on her over thr years. For example she got propositioned for a fling while taking a morning walk by a tourist in Paris who was 15 years younger than her while she and I were on 25th anniversary and I was still recovering in bed from a long night of love making, not she is a morning person. There are many such stories and all I can say is except for the first time while dating for a month when I misunderstood and got jealous for no reason, I never let it bother me and never had anything to worry about. Trust but verify is crap for a marriage. One comment on the story. So I guess Kate saying she didn't want to renege meant that she wasn't sure of Bill when the Taylor guy asked her to attend the special party as a date. But that meant after 3-4 weeks dating she was unsure of where she stood with Bill? I know not exclusive but that seems to be putting some undue stress on a burgeoning relationship. Especially since Taylor was rich and successful. Took real courage to hear her out and meet with her. Some would let that eat at their soul. Glad it didn't for you. I guess the date with her and Frankie sealed things in her mind that you were the one and she felt bad about having already promised but then felt really bad when she saw your heartbreak. Good of her to take the initiative in taking the relationship to the next level. The only thing I would have liked to see is that BEFORE she went down on that date that she not only said the "no sex" but also that there would ne no more dates with anyone else but say it BEFORE she went down there. Saying it after the fact is nice but much less powerful and would have substantiated that the date was just a commitment she didn't want to back out of. That would have been a lot less trying for the MC. But still glad it all worked out in the end. Blessings to you and your family!!
You’re a better man than I am Bill, I don’t think that I could have got past that weekend that she spent with another man.
