All Comments on 'The Graduation Party'

I loved this story! Thanks for sharing.

Not sure I got it all. She was married and had kids before him, dumped him and took up with Paul, Paul beat her so she left him, now she is back with this guy? He had her then was divorced, had Judy and then a girlfriend and now her?

Man they are busy.

5 though definitely felt like there was another story buried in their with her previous relationship and their divorce, how they came to be fairly amicable even before the reconciliation. And a great reconciliation, the banging started it but was only the start, they went and got counseling. I appreciate that in reconciliation stories, actually showing the work involved rather then "we had sex, we're golden" trope some stories might do.

Ok she was Married before: That does happen. Maybe I should have her ex die or disappear or a divorce I don't think I specified how that marriage ended because it wasn't important to the story. The fact that the girls considered him their dad was the important information for the story.

The two of them were divorced 35 years ago.

Both remarried. That does happen too.

Her new husband abused her and the kids and there was a divorce after about 15 years or so.

He remarried but since it was more a marriage of convince they fell out of "love" and divorced after about 15 years or so.

It both took them close to 15 years to call it quits on the poor marriages, the usual thing of not wanting to give up AGAIN (not mentioned in the story).

Both of their divorces were about 20 years ago.

She had male friends some boyfriends some just dates not mentioned in the story.

He had girlfriends one identified and others just mentioned and (some dates not mentioned in the story).

For the sake of the children and grandchildren they became amiable to each other for the last 20 years. (implied)

The graduation party was the catalyst to awakening passed love and passion.

Just a 'happy ever after' story I hopped.

Thank you for your input, I will try use it in the future.
