Nice romantic LW story! Well done.

Wonderful story with great and human characters.

Great Job Randi, Loved it

Normally l would write a Sonnet, Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? However l need to yeet my old ass to work. Great story as always....

Cute.

Simply perfect opening scene — perfect for the theme and more, so revealing of what you share of your two main characters and their relationship. As a near hopeless romantic does not get much better.

Not that it had much to do with the actual story but, I'm glad the BBQ sauce on the tiddies got explained 😁

Thanks for sharing such a heartwarming story.

Spectacular story and a wonderful true Loving wife.

Nice touch

Great story and angle, loved it.

A nice little love story where the heart knows what it wants. Very good. 5 stars

That was a sweet romance with a truly loving wife. 5*

Great story! A definite 5!

Really sweet Randi; despite that (ha, ha) It was worth 5* to me. (smile)

Always a pleasure reading one of your stories, no matter how long or short it is.

Wait. An actual loving wives story about, you know, a loving wife? Huh. Go figure. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop the whole time. Nice plot twist. Fun read. :)

A very good love story and a quality ending for certain. 5 stars

Awesome… What a cool way to take the theme and turn it on its head and spin it. Well done.

Almost holding my breath not wanting things to go to shit for them. Everything was going along almost too good and that's when bad things happen in most stories, but not this time. Well done.

This, my dear Randi, sort of shocked me. I wasn't sure where this was headed, but your mastery of a complex issue made this story shine. I guess Deb and I should expect nothing less from your talented mind. Great story!

Brilliant. Made me fall in love with them. Imposter syndrome is a fucking bitch.

Such a pleasure to be in the hands of a master of the craft. The sureness, the clarity, the genuine well-earned emotion, the beauty of the relationships among these well-conceived characters… whew. Thank you!

Loved

Wow! Great story!!

Perfect.

Love blackrandi!

You write so well that the characters become real. Great story, *****

Talk about an opening line! Lol.

Always love your stories, 👍

Not sure how these stories are judged, but having read them all, these are the folks whom I most like as friends and neighbors. Best story in ages!

Wonderful twist on the lie to me motif, so far its been my favorite story out of my favorite writers! I love stories where there's a miscommunication between couples that lead to challenging adversities as opposed to infidelity. I believe a couples can come back from everything except infidelity. 5 stars!

Great story

Different take on a lie. Guess there are some that are worth it. 99.9% are not! 5

Nicely twisted away from what we expected. Well done. Enjoyable and warm. Just nice. Thank you

I really liked this. D

Throughout literary history, several plays and books have become famous for their opening line; "They call me Ishmael," "'He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream," "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," "Now is the winter of our discontent," but none can compare to "There I stood, barbecue sauce on my titties," I predict it will go down in the annals of literary genius. Once again, Blackrandil1958 entertains us with a great story. 5 big stars.

Outstanding Randi! I agree with Laptopwriter, what a great opening line. And now for something completely different.

Yes how can you not read this story after that opening line? Given the tittle I was bracing myself for a heart break that never came. Well done Randi. Thank you for another enjoyable story. Five stars goes with saying. Ooops I said it anyway.....

Huh? A Loving Wives story about a loving wife? Ridiculous. Well done. You carried that one off really well.

Hooked

One of my favorite writers on this site.

Well done with the plot twist there Randi. 5⭐️

I'm envious of Laptopwriter's post. It's perfect, as was this story's opening. 5* from me.

I have to agree with all of the comments I read. BUT, I was impressed with the story's honesty and that it was not run-of-the-mill BS as we see all the time. Great job again Randl!

Great story, Randi! Loved it! Thank You, for all your stories!

Great story, this one feels real and is special because of it.

This story felt real. Your characters felt alive to me and I loved your take on telling lies. The last thing she was going to do was give up on him. This is an uplifting love story and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much Randi, your story as always just rocks!!!

A wonderful love story. Thank you!

5*

Not sure what to think of this one.

Cute with a really good life lesson at the heart of it all - 4.7*

Yeet! I think.

For the most part, I like the story. Maybe it's a byproduct of getting old that I didn't understand some of the younger terminology and phrases. It's difficult when my brain looks at a collection of letters wondering if it's a typo or a word and interrupts the story flow. On another note, where do I sign up to buy a batch of ribs?

Heartwarming. Excellent as usual from this author.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In retrospect the theme is common and, was announced at the beginning of the story. But, was masterfully revealed. Well done miss Randy.

I have definite standards for giving a 5. This story didn't quite make one of them. I give a 5 anyway. I can't help it.

That was a very good story which took an unexpected and delightful turn. 5* tale.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great story and lesson.

Great twist on the "lie" word, and a delightful story. 5*.

Such a sweet story! Thanks Randi

Strange story... difficult to read, at least for me... sorry... :-(

Very sweet, and beautifully written. How does a guy named Sheldon get that lucky? Or is karma making it up to him for being named Sheldon? The way you tell the story, it's more than worth it!

Thanks, ohio

Cute, she was there to give her man the confidence boost he needed, like a perfect spouse. It's a two-way street, of course, and a good lesson for all of us. Thanks, BR58

I expected no less...and really enjoyed it!

It's a "5", of course !

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a BlackRandi tale that wasn't.

Gotta love the love in this story between the two main characters...

...the kids were a plus with their love.

Great story...no lie !

It is by Blackrandi. What can it be but a 5!

SURPRISE SURPRISE! A loving wife that actually loves her husband. And here i didn't think they existed in this genre. Well written and paced. 5 stars

Lovely romance story, done in your inimitable style. A slice of human life, the sort of story you excel in writing and excel in bringing your along in the journey.

Well done, 5/5, all the way

"Tiddies?" Do you mean tits?

Lots of authors write stories, some quite good, but Randi is one of the few that make me feel as though I’m a fly on the wall watching people’s lives unfold. They are certainly people I don’t know, but they do seem so real. That’s a rare talent!

I love this story. Give awesome stars for a job well accomplished. Not a traitorous spouse in sight, either. Big thanks!

JPB

Wow loved that and that’s the sort of wife we could only wish we had. Envious of Sheldon here.

And some very valid points made too

Fantastic!!!! All 5stars

Wow, what an awesome LW story! Thanks so much for this story! 5/5

I’m not nearly as eloquent as LTW, but I enjoyed your real Loving Wife story just as much. After four stories read, this looks like one of your best invitationals yet.

Very nice

Honestly….I kept waiting for her to comment to herself that as much as she loved hubby, that hard body intern at her work was necessary to take her places Hubby couldn’t 😎

.

But instead, she was a true loving wife. Apparently 😎

.

Look, I know I’m one of those unwashed anons and everything, but may I take a moment to express my extreme gratitude for EVERYTHING you seem to do to provide, promote, encourage, and facilitate quality writing at this site? This latest writers’ invitational is a perfect example of that — a small bevy of quality stories today that entertained, and eve at times educated a bit. Thank you!

5 *****

Fabulous. Simply Fabulous

Wow Randi. Just wow. What this old man would do for a love like that. Absolutely amazing 👏

Beautiful story and thanks for sponsoring this event, it's been awesome!

You can write true love with the best of them, you surpass them because you mean it.

Pointless

Wow. That was wonderful. Thank you.

This was a nice slice of life. I think many of us has been in a similar position as no man/person is an island on to themself. We all need that safe harbor where we can let our guard down and be vulnerable for a little bit.

Wow, this one's a treasure. So well done. Thank you. Easy 5*

Aw, Randi, we heard nothing but the truth from you for the last, say 6 years!

Well done, with bells, whistles and lights going bonkers.

You win BR. Best story here. By far...

Good, really good. 5☆

You marry a woman who is almost a decade younger than you and is totally out of your league. Then she turns around and tells you how lucky she is to be your wife, friend and lover - that's when you know that it can't get any better than this.

Great romantic tale. Easy 5 stars.

That right there is a real love story. Thanks for the lighthearted read.

Yep a really easy 5 star. Thank you for this refreshing, good feeling story. A great and easy read.

Another Great story! Thanks! DerMtMan

Really enjoy a nice noncheating happy story thank you so much.

Thank you for a slice of life and a life affirming philosophy; fierce and loving

Delightful. Thank you!

Great job, Randi, with excellent misdirection and a very good outcome as a result. Sheldon’s confidence was an issue but I love her response and the last line. Thanks for hosting another excellent event.

Exceptionally nice twist on the challenge. Enjoyed it immensely.

Great story, thoroughly enjoyed it.
