All Comments on 'Terrible Taste In Tees'

Love the work, It shows that you are capturing something when you feel for a character in a story you read. With all the BTB stories here it's nice to read one where there is pain and happiness together.

Five stars. I was happy with the reconciliation. You made us feel the love. All the nudity, bi-sex, supermodels, etc kept it from being one of the very best. I'm just a little too traditional for all that. But that's just me.

You earned your fifth star at around page 7.

Actually, I like the reconciliation. It shows the love was real and that pain doesn't have to rule. Great story!

not my cupo tea.

1 star for pages 1 thru 5, far as I could take it

1 star

I had no idea what to score this rather long winded story. Liked it in many ways but also disliked the actual content in many ways, so I thought I would look at the actual score being 3 years old it would reflect what others thought. WAS EXTREMELY surprised to find the average score to be 4.78!!!!! All those cuck hating scorers and still have a score that high. Sorry, but find that very hard to believe and as such I have reduced my score as this is not a 4.78 in any sense. Maybe a high 3 but never over a 4, which makes me very suspicious.

It means she's a lying skank with no respect for monogamous vows. There's no way to sugar coat it.

Anonymous, you asked: "But how do you ever get past the memory of some other guy shoving his dick into the woman you thought of as your wife?"

Maybe it's an obvious question. But deeper than the obvious is "What does it really mean that some other guy stuck his dick into my wife."

With some the question will be "Is it really any different from all the other dicks that were stuck into her before I married her? Were they any different from the dick that was stuck in her after I married her? Or do I have to get past that memory as well?"

For others it will be "Is it really any different from all the vaginas I stuck my dick into."

So many questions.

But how do you ever get past the memory of some other guy shoving his dick into the woman you thought of as your wife? Every time I would get close to her, that's all I could think about so there is no way for reconciliation, no way, no how. I appreciate your efforts to take us along the long path to the RAAC bullshit but I'm sorry, no matter how round about you make it, that big dick was still shoved into her an no amount of time and protestations of "I love you and only you" is going to get that cum and disease out of her.

Remarry this cheating slut for any reason? Hell no. In the real world a bitch like this is only waiting for you to show that she's free to do it again. Once a cheater, always a cheater. I mean think about it, the only reason she had for fucking any dick she could get her hands on was because it was fun and she wanted something to keep from her cuckold husband into the future. She was never going to stop as long as she could get away with it.

No, she's just a heartless whore, best to stay away from this rotten skank.

It's nice when life gives you a second chance and you make it work.

But don't kid yourself. That was a nod FROM a master.

Sorry but it was a bit long and it got boring in places!

But overall Brilliant Imagine A Billionaire T SHIRT MOGUL

Thanks for sharing this Fantastic story with us!

Love you all! GREG.

OH 100 % OF READING ENJOYMENT BYE.

AUSSIE JOKE WHAT DO YOU CALL A CHOOK LOOKING AT LETTUCE

answer! CHICKEN CAESER (sees a) A SALAD

cuckold pussy ass whore apologist .

Love this story for the fourth read. I always comeback to the great ones. Some people mentioned it was too long, I humbly disagree. The characters were interesting and the protagonist was strong and vulnerable at the same time. The nudist thing was a distraction to the flow of the story but in the end it made sense. I'd like to extend my sincerest thanks to the author for the thoughtful and extensive effort in putting this story together. I hope you continue writing as you are one of the best.

I have no problem with reconciliation and I think that you explained it in a great way when she said that she wasn't the young spoiled girl anymore.

I do think you made the story a bit too long for my taste and it became a bit boring at some point. BTW he could have just donated his sperm. I didn't like that either. For a guy who said so many time that a married relationship was forsaking all other and so it doesn't fit the character to impregnate them the old way. There is a character flaw there.

Otherwise a fine reading and a great story.

I have to come back and read this again every few months. One of the best stories on Literotica!

A very long story very well done. Some people don't seem to understand that with time, almost anything can be forgiven. Forgetting is harder, and sometimes not even possible, but when it comes to love, who knows what's possible or not? Great story,

one of my favorites from "Q". Definitely worth 5 Stars.

No matter what others may say, I really loved the story.

A shitty RAAC cuck/wimp/creampie eaters story.

Nothing to see here, move along.

When SHE proposed, she said, "I thought if I wanted it, I should have it." Noting that she'd growth up and, presumably, wasn't that way any longer...

Except of course where she told him he WOULD forgive her...?

I also can't help but wonder how she managed to TWICE completely forget about birth control...? Hmmm... Being nice and giving her the benefit of the doubt I still expect that at least subconsciously she realized she COULD get pregnant and was actually hoping for that...

Also interesting that SHE was too immature to not be selfish and fucked around... But he wasn't... aren't they a similar age...? Don't they always say women mature quicker...?Obviously she's the exception to that rule... Just like every other woman who does the same thing...?

Hey, if it works for them, fine... But I'd have definitely insisted on ANOTHER pre-nup...

You should warn people beforehand about a RAAC story. What a waste of time!

Sad that people live with unforgiveness in their hearts & mind, what terrible life they choose to live, sadly the folks around them suffer With them!

The story was pretty good until in chapter 8 I noticed you were setting them up for reconciliation, then it all went to shit! She's a whore and he should have NEVER slept with the slag without using protection! What a dumbass!

One of the Best I have ever read here in Lit...!!

Excellent plot, development, and climax (pun intended..!!)

Thank you for an Amazing piece of literary art..!!!

Weak, Wimpy, Co-Dependent, Nut less Male.

Ugly waste of time.

Enjoyed this read...will be looking at others of yours!

Sorry but the story was way too long and bounced around all over he place. I finally got bored and didn't care how it ended.

Gee, she entices him to bed twice and accidentally gets pregnant both times. Then he buys the line that she has changed. He's dummer than a stump! She hasn't changed...she's still using her body to get what she wants. Decent story about a weak male. Not my cup of tea.

"As big as I was, six feet and one eighty, M used her large frame and two hundred sixty pounds to toss me around like a toy."

Tell me that is a fucking mistake and M is not 260 pounds !

hell that's almost oprah-size

What's that saying? roll her in flour and look for the wet spot

I gave it 4 stars. Kinda didn't like the main character but just my opinion. It's still a good read.

Second time through; excellent work. I think this is the best of all your tales I've read. Not sure why I didn't score or comment 1st time but so glad to do so this time. On of the best written stories on this site. A very worthy 5 * * * * *

Came back for a reread. Like any great story, it has things you love and things you don't. In the end all you can say is "damn good.".

. . . what a wonderful story, well-written, and a beautiful love story with a touching ending. Thank you very much. 20*

Leave that poor man alone. That was a cry for help if I ever heard one. I can't even make myself come up with something clever to kick him with it. It's like beating a dog that is already whimpering.

Even I'm not that much of an asshole.

So because a sad, angry little anon with a tiny, limp cock couldn't please his wife no one is allowed to enjoy stories ever again.

Got it, makes perfect sense. I can't believe I ever questioned the logic and motives if the btb crowd. This commenter right here really sums it all up perfectly. Lovely, sad, bitter old men who can't pleasure a woman angrily shouting into the void because no one else cares. Loving wives in a nutshell.

Meh, he should have moved on rather than repeating the same mistake, letting things go full circle makes it all feel pointless, it feels like a defeat of sorts.

I think it became too much for my SoD when I read about how he let her crawl into bed with him just because she felt pathetically needy or something, he should have taken that with a grain of salt, and known where it could lead to.

this story also felt pretty long-winded, would probably be a better story if tightened up with some editing, cutting out a few pages.

This was a nice story with a redemptive ending. But, name changes, grammatical errors and time line juxtapositions along with too much overstatement made it slow read. 5 for the story.

Long but worth the read with a nice reward!

way to long,could have done it in five pages

I got to page six and got really bored with this piece. Unusual for one of yours, but there it is.

Great read on a rainy day. Your characterization and dialogue are first-rate, but I would love to see you sharpen the description of setting to make a stronger sense of place and time. Wonderful narrative. Thanks!

Once again you have yanked my heartstrings to a fare-thee-well. I shed more than a few tears over this one, some of joy, some not, but all heartfelt.

I had a job as a photographers assistant once, many decades ago. I got to load and unload the cameras. I saw some awesome models of both genders, and got to be a little more than friends with several. Our lives were certainly unlike this story, which makes this even more poignant.

I'm very glad that you used this structure on which to hang a tale that shows the stress and strain, and the necessity of growing up. Thanks for understating the change in Bree's morals. Yeah, she was out of control and didn't understand that some of us couldn't accept what she considered normal, but eventually both of them became adults. The journey was not a simple one and had many twists and turns, and throughout it you maintained an admirable focus on your main story line.

I know how difficult it is to keep control of the writing when the devil rides your shoulder, yelling out what needs to be next. Several times I've inadvertently written several pages where a single paragraph was needed. It's always hard to cut the excess back into a manageable structure. Sometimes you have to just walk away from it until your mind cools off and you can write rationally again. (Assuming you ever could write rationally...)

Thank you for providing such a wonderful story.

The problem is that you don't really explore the issues the characters would have with the cheating or the reconcilliation, you just gloss over them. In a reconcilliation story it is important, at least to me, that all the psychological issues of the characters be explored. This glossing over the issues is something I have seen happen in a lot of your stories.

Well Done. Since I have been reading the many genres on Lit since I joined, I can honestly say that your stories continue to ones of the best quality containing a variety of emotions. These feelings range from empathy to anger as the characters progress through their scenarios.

Brilliant more stories please

No one so cold and conniving deserves to be with such a good dude, I don't believe a person can change that much, I wanted to two it but you write too darn well. OldBearSwitch

This is an interesting story from someone who usually writes well. It took a while and aa bit of extra reading, and although a bit too long, it belongs with one of your masterpieces. Nice going!

Tiny Tim

rich boy renamed chuck then EVERYBODY became whores to justify the story???

A VERY well, tasteful story.

Some people will probably say it's unrealistic but unless they've ever been in a Cheating wife situation, where the husband still loves the ex, even though she cheated, then they need to keep their mouths shut.

It's been 10 years for me now, and I still love my ex, ... though there is no way in hell I'd ever get back with her. My ex tore out my heart after 32 years of marriage. And in many ways like Bree, she didn't know what she had. Now she's alone. The love-of-her-life (her boyfriend) decided he was going to make up with 'his' wife so my ex is alone, has no boyfriend, doesn't date, and I've moved over 2000 miles away. I'm still single but I date when I feel like it. But unlike this story, there is no way I'd ever get back with my ex. Without trust and fidelity there can be no marriage.

It is an entertaing read. However, it is a very unrealistic fantasy from start to finish.

You all know dear annony hates it so it must be really good. Merry Christmas asshole annony

"My lawyer thought it was unfair” – If HIS business is excluded, why is it unfair to exclude HER business?

“And I have a letter to Sherry here. None of this is her fault, she tried to get her to stop” – That may be, but she didn’t tell YOU! She knows that the wife of a major client is cheating on him, and doesn’t tell him? At a MINIMUM, she should have told Bree that if she didn’t stop IMMEDIATELY she would no longer use her, even if she was the best her agency had.

“we've seen couples that have come to unusual solutions to overcome their differences, including 'open' marriages.” – Yes, with MUTUAL agreement! NOT with one party deciding unilaterally to open up THEIR side of the marriage!

“Sometimes, if she caught a girl wavering, she'd tell her her story.” – Big deal! Her story isn’t exactly a morality tale!

well written but got to say the part where those 2 women were worshipping him lessend my interresed and when it became appent he would take the slut wife back i completly lost interest so i stopped reading it i know its just a story but i do like it when its atleast remotely possible and this is just to far fetched that i would call it sience fiction

...and fair play as it is up to author to decide the storyline and ending. Too many people express their 'opinions' whilst taking this as a real thing. ( I for one would never take back a cheating spouse, but that's in real world).

Now the story itself is great, well written , did good job on developing characters. I enjoyed reading it, even if the outcome might have caused some conflicting emotions, I know how to distinguish reality from fiction.

let's call him chuck, but wait there's more....wimp

Actually, I think you could sell at least a million reads of this on Amazon or in a romance novel in paperback.

This old BTB must be getting old.

Thanks, it was a feel good one .

Damn I love this story. Third time is still a charm.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing.

Brujay

Maybe I'm reading too much between the lines, but I've come to the conclusion that as you get to know them some characters you just like too much for a HEA not to happen, like those in this story . So as they lived their lives in your head, Q, there just had to be a feelgood ending. Good, Very Good! You are a great writer and I hope to enjoy many more of your musings.

I'm no writer, but I am an avid reader. I hope this doesn't offend you, but I do not think this story belongs on Literotica. The sex scenes were short, and way to far between. I don't think I even got a half of a woody while reading this.

That being said, this was one of the most engrossing stories I've ever read. I could not stop reading. It brought me from laughing out loud (literally) to tears in several instances. I found myself caring about the characters, truly the epitome of any storyteller, and completely unable to stop reading. Congratulations on spinning a fine tale that commands the reader's complete attention.

This is my first time commenting on a story, and I've been an active member for many years. Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you for a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon read. Engaging characters, twisty plot, and syntax in good order. What more can a reader ask? Oh, yeah ...free!

He divorced her. Good. He never got over her, and she never got over him. She grew up and wised up, and he wasn't going anywhere without her. So the wiser and more experienced couple got back together and lived happily ever after, we are told. And its where you end up that counts, right? Because of his undying love and desire for her, he cannot punish her without punishing himself. And since she has now born the loss, wised up, and is actually a good woman for someone, why not be a good woman for him? In marriage, all's well that ends well. If you finish in heaven, why hold on to the memory of the hell you went through to get there? Be happy they made it.

“he loves me to much not to forgive me” – And of COURSE, she loves HIM too (not ‘TO’) much not to forgive HIM if he cheated on HER, right? Right?

“I'll miss you, probably wear out a vibrator reminiscing, but you'll never see me again.” – The fact that she would be wearing out vibrators “reminiscing” doesn’t speak well of her.

“To actually see it, see how she really was. Boy, that plan backfired." – Well, he was warned not to watch it, so why did he, if he even had a passing thought to forgive her?

“Accused me of sleeping with you." – As Les said, she has a lot of nerve accusing HIM of cheating!

“Said it didn't matter, if she could just talk to you she could straighten it all out.” – I know I’ve said this many times before, but if HE was the one who cheated, would there be ANY amount of “talking” that could “straighten it all out”?

"How could you? I never loved anyone like I love you. I thought you loved me too." – How could HE?! How could SHE! She has a funny way of showing her love, and he DID love her too, that’s why HE didn’t sleep with other women when she was out of town!

"It was going to stop, honey.” – Big FUCKING deal! It should never have STARTED!

“But there's some history that you're not aware of, something that may have a bearing on your feelings.” – If she has some history that might somehow explain/excuse her cheating, maybe she should have disclosed it to him BEFORE they got married? And why weren't WE ever told this history?

“It wasn't cheating, Chris.” – The fact that she STILL doesn’t consider it cheating, doesn’t bode well if he DID take her back!

"How could you? We'll never get back together if you're fucking those sluts." – LOL, she just DOESN’T get it!

With all his money, why is being able to stay at the resort for free such a big deal?

“The woman who cheated on her husband with multiple partners without a libido." – Actually, a bit of poetic justice!

Bree getting pregnant by him, HOPEFULLY not on purpose, but in any case not letting him know is unforgivable! And then doing it AGAIN, this time ADMITTEDLY on purpose? He should co-sign the loan, then say that she should have Amy bring the kids over or their visits.

I don't know, the first time I read this I accepted him taking her back, but on re-reading, the undisclosed pregnancies, and the DEMAND that he take her back, well, it may have hurt him, but I think he should have just turned his back and walked away, leaving her crying on her knees!

but, i loved the end too.

the arrogance of youth, hope we all can oneday come to terms with our mistakes in the past.

This is probably the third time I have read this story. I still love reading it. Thank you

I enjoyed the tale. I've liked your LW work since the beginning. Only saw one boo boo in this story. You called Rorschach a male on page nine. Despite being a BTB person, I still think your work was good. Cheers!

who doesn't benefit from an editor who edits and tightens their copy. To imply that such cuts and refinements reduce stories to Cliff Notes or Reader's Digest Condensed Books seems pretty arrogant to me.

Of course you may be a titan in the field with a name that would blow us all away from your fame and prowess but right now you just seem condescending.

q, Lots of Love and Lots of Hate covered in this story. And the comments are a reflection of the familial turmoil portrayed.

q, I agree with you about not deleting negative comments. Personally I love the hate mail and death threats I get. The dopes are revealing to me that I am absolutely correct in my expression of my creativity.

The story is as long as it is as long as the writer decided to write it. If you lack the endurance to read more than Cliff Notes, try the Readers Digest condensed stories.

And as always, it is so damn hilarious at all the haters spewing their venom at fictional characters, in fictional situations, with fictional outcomes. Yet these paragoons of prepubertal pudeurish pomposity continue to return to wallow in the stories they propound to hate?

But well worth the time. I had a feeling it might head the direction it did just by the way he didn't find someone. Didn't see the entire route though. I enjoyed it.

I just loved it,please keep writing

5 of the most easiest stars 5*****

I loved your story, couldnt stop reading it . I always like happy endings and this was perfect. Thank you and please ........Never stop Writing.

With love: A happy fan

I'm a sucker for a happy ending. I also enjoy the LW tales that end with reconciliation, something that happens more rarely than I'd like. Thank you.

As to not deleting negative comments..only proves that you are truly an author far above the majority of authors who post here. Broad shoulders!

Excellent writing.

Anger at the wife at first, then sorrow for her, and him.

You had us rooting for them both at the end.

Very good work. thanks for sharing

To heck with nay-Sayers, should they have separated and stayed apart for as long as they had, you bet. Healing time, even without Tina getting into the mix, the way this story was heading, the two were destine to be back together. :) Keep your stories coming, by the way if you have any books out there I'm interested.

Good read, very entertaining. Sweet ending although the inclusion of M and Les was over-done, including the portions of Chris fathering their kids. I don't much care for bi and other fruity stuff though, but that's just me.

qhml1 is one of the better writers I've run across on Literotica, and I try to check out all of his stuff. Highly recommended.

My late wife and I divorced and got back together again 3 years later, A very nice story, Bought back a lot of fond memories for me as the one year anniversary looms (02/02/2014) of my wife's dying. Thank you

An awesome read. There's always something about the reconciliation after years apart that seems so realistic. 5*

I agree and disagree. I am a little confused as to timeline that said though as one had said the heart wants what the heart wants. She screwed up royally. He left her for years. Was he a wimp? I personally don't think so. That said though. He went off and tried the sport fucking. But what a great many people seemed to have missed was that his all encompassing desire was children. He wanted that more than anything, More than all of king midas' s gold. He held on to he can't trust her even as much as he loved her. He called a spade a spade in councelling. He should have asked his therapists if. They wanted to swap. That would have gone over like a fart in church on sunday. I still can't believe that the therapists offered an open marriage.

That said it took many many years to even talk with her. The fact that he slept with her after all those years wasn't meant as reconciliation. It was just sex. But when she had the child she didn't trust him enough. He manned up and took action and did the right thing. He kept denying himself the truth that he loved her more than life itself. She was a little spoiled bitch who had to grow up in a hurry. Her worst betrayel was the child. He almost destroyed himself in that. But once again he manned up and did the right thing. She finally learned her lesson. When she came back to him she finally realized what she needed and how ro put him first.

Most reconciliations fail due to a lack of loce. He had to truly get beyond his pain. If his friends wouldn't have been there for him and taken care of him he may never have gotten over it. In a small sense he didn't. But, try as he might he still loved her. Loved her enough to walk away. When they fot nack together YEARS later he saw through her actions that she could finally be the woman he deserved. A child can show that woman how to finally be true to her man. Anyway what is right for him may not be right for everyone but they made it work. I believe that without Leslie and Mary they would have been doomed to failure.

love the whole story. it showed the emotions of each character in every aspect of the story. one of the stories that is hard to put down cuz it traps you so much. keep writing as I love how your stories twist and turns all the way through

Great character development. Very well written story. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Since discovering literotica I have looked forward to reading your new offerings.

This is a charming story well told. Keep up the good work. Please don't pay attention to the narrow minded bigots of the world.

until the gay, inter racial, choco turds bull crap.

The heart wants, what the heart wants. 'nuff said.

Dear Mr/s qhml1

I am not sure if you read your comments but I would like to say that I really enjoyed your work. I was really impressed by the people your characters became and how you made them come alive. I especially liked how you took the time to cover your characters with flesh and blood. I was also impressed at how strong you made your male character, giving him the courage to move through the horrible experiences of his past and succeed in building a new future with the women he loved. I am glad that you didn't allow his hurt and bitterness to turn this story into slash and burn fest.

To quote Shakespeare "The quality of mercy is not strain'd,It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:It blesseth him that gives and him that takes." Mercy cannot be bought or sold It must be given freely with a open heart for it to mean anything.

Thank you for a tale where the quality of mercy had a chance to save two lives and influence several more.

Yours,

SUSAN

Damn! Once again clicked one of your stories. Meant to read part of it then read the rest some other time. Nope. One sitting even though I did not have the time. Ouch. You remain the master of syntax and style. Your words flow and the story moves smoothly. This story had the first jar in flow of any and it was such a small thing. The old editor in my would have red lined it but it was more that you are so good with words it stopped me momentarily. In one of your sentences you were writing about Bree using a pronoun. Later in the same sentence you switch to Tina and changing her I think using an objective pronoun. A small thing but a writer of your quality might want to know even if it does not hinder the story at all in plot or character development. I await anything by you with great glee. Thank you.

I downloaded this months ago and forgot about it, but picked it up the other day.

I read nearly all the comments too, and I have to say you got a lot of good, I mean helpful remarks.

I thought it was all pretty much 'over the top', but I enjoyed it just the same. To be sure I might have been more critical had I read it when you first put it out, but the recent supply of halfway good stories is so slim now this tale was what I needed.

Owing to the length there were the expected ebbs and flows. For me the moment of truth came when Chris had separated from Bree and met 'M'. At that juncture I thought this would be a long reconciliation or he'd go for the woman who was Bree's absolute opposite. I wanted the reconciliation and skipped to the very end to check. Once I discovered he and Bree would reunite I went back and enjoyed the rest of the story.

Not a lot of tension as with some tales, a little overmuch on the careers, and too much travel for me, but easily still a five. One last thing; goatees just don't work for me. I see a guy with a goatee and I want to pull down my fly and tell him to get on his knees. I hope Bree put a razor to that.

Unlike most stories on this site, I have eagerly devoured every word. This just could not get any better ! Thank you qhml.

'annie' the dreaded anon.

Why does the cheating cunt get a happy ending? Getting knocked up? Pay support but keep the cunt away.

A divorce, with years of separation, is hardly the kind of forgiveness she was talking about.

In any case, while I'm usually not a fan of reconciliation in the face of blatant cheating, in SOME cases, especially following a LONG separation, is it really that much different than hooking up with someone who cheated on a prior spouse?

So she cheats on him repeatedly from the beginning of their relationship, keeps his daughter from him for a year and he still takes her back?!!!!!!!! I guess she was right after all.... he would forgive her as long as she cried and apologized long enough.

And well told. Dragged out a little but I never lost the characters or the plot. Didn't vote 'cause I didn't really like the way it panned out. Not a btb guy, more sort of zero tolerence.

Norm

I once worked as a photographer`s assistant for a short time after college. I quickly learned that there is nobody more self-obsessed on the planet than models! Single, married, boyfriends or girlfriends, it didn`t matter! Anything goes, as long as it feeds their egos! You might think that seeing perfect bodied babes in skimpy clothes would be a great job, but it`s soul-crushing. Nobody stays in the industry for too long, unless they have no conscience or soul. I lasted 2 months before I was homicidal.

All the characters in this were too egotistical and narcissistic to be likeable. With all the swapping and orgies going on, I`m surprised that he was so upset about Bree`s whoring.

Speaking of Bree, What a piece if work that one is! She fucks around with men, women and dogs for the entire time they knew each other, and saw nothing wrong with it! She also knew that his fondest wish was to have kids, but denied him because she wanted to stay a whore, and when she finally did have his child, she kept it a secret from him! What a bitch. Funny thing though, all she had to do to get him to forgive all was to tell him he was a daddy. "It`s all fixed now that I`m a daddy, so where will we be swinging this weekend?"

Swinging, swapping, orgies and nudists. Meh, no thanks. And the worst degenerates of all-fucking ARTISTS! Get a real job, and stop pretending you're special!

Also, Rorschach is not a good name for a dog, unless he is a ruthless maniac that will smash your face in! Good boy!

Actually, five stars because you did an excellent job of turning this reader from wanting a BTB story to hoping for reconciliation. You had the ex making a great argument at the end. She was a different person. She had matured. He was right in divorcing her. She was right in letting him go. And by pure luck, they were brought back together again after the passage of significant time. Either could have just as easily found someone else and would have probably moved on rather well. But fate pulled some strings and I was happy to see them start over. Loved it.

smoking fat cocks... what a fucking weirdo....

I suspect that this was cut from something a bit larger.

Most of my women friends who are notably attractive have been compromised at some point in their past. The pressure attractive women are under is intense.

The section:

"I'm certain she still loves loves you. I saw some of the film, read the report. I'm sure it was brutal for you. But there's some history that you're not aware of, something that may have a bearing on your feelings. We'll explore it in our joint sessions. But if you could look at her situation without getting emotional, it might change your mind."

seems to allude to that.

However, it was not developed, with the slanging on marriage counselors taking precedence.

I agree that the actual character development was done by the female lead, whereas the male lead seemed rather static.

At one point I think Alice James, ace attorney was swapped into Anne.

I admit to being pulled into the emotional thrill of a revenge done well - but there seemed to be so much more that could have been done with the concept.

Still, much better than most.

Green-something

Well written but I was seriously pissed I invested the time to read 10 pages for a reconciliation story. It started out so well and by the time I realized where the story was going I was too far in to quit reading.

Q, I gotta say that I really enjoyed this story. I won't bother with my usual multitude of comments as there are already enough to spare. Especially from the usual suspects in both the crapulous lynchmob and the polylovers camp. Terrific assortment of responses for the complex ideas you imagineered this story around.

My only quibble is the character of J. The attorney, an honest attorney, a socially conscious attorney, an attorney who does not screw over his own clients for a quick buck, a fair-minded, publicly responsible attorney, hahahahahahahahahah!

Sorry, I just couldn't keep a straight face any longer. The character of J impels this story beyond fiction to surreal fantasy.

Catholics can have honest confessions and do penance and be forgiven...

Why should a man not be able to eventually forgive someone they love after the person does some honest penance...?

What she did was wrong, yes, no doubt... and while you can't really make up for something like that (stupidity) she clearly was a different person from when she was younger...

Not too long to read and enjoy.

I agree this ended up being more about Bree growing into a better person and how long it took for her to "get it", but that works - Chris had a cross to bear and held onto it very tightly heh. Chris had issues as well and he took a while to get past them. He clearly would not be happy without Bree and once Tina was in the picture it was a dine deal - he is too much of a control freak to not be there for his child. He also needed to resolve the anger - which he started the night Tina was conceived even if he did not realize it them - he should have by the way.

Since this is all fiction none of it needs to "work in RL" but the way you built it well - it does. The business parts are bit too perfect - so what it could happen. The relationships all seem reasonable if extreme and coincidental involving the same guy - but that is what makes a story worth reading - all the neat stuff in it. If the coincidences did not happen it would not be worth telling the story heh.

Thanks for sharing
