All Comments on 'Coal Miner Pt. 01'

A story with a plot and well written and everything! Something on here I can read and enjoy and not feel like I need to take a shower to get the shit off. Thank you for your effort, I always enjoy your work!

If she was breaking it off, why was she with him until 4 AM?

He did the only right thing. You can stay married but it will eventually eat away at the marriage like a cancer and then ruin everything. She is a serial cheater, she was in college she is here. She only thinks of herself and has no real concept of what happens to her marriage, her husband, and her children. I find it very interesting she leaves the girls with her sister in law and goes out all night. Why didnt the sister in law question her behavior and speak to her brother about it. Push the trash to the curb, always throw out the trash. But I would never have left my children with someone like this. Who knows how many different men she will bring into the home with children, she may be a good mom when she is there, but she works and goes out at night. Not a fit role model for young girls, not a fit one at all. Once a cheater, always a cheater.

Good opening, don't make us wait too long for the next three parts

It's always a good day when I have a DG Hear story to read. I liked the way Rob managed his personal pain. He kept it to himself and did what he felt he had to do with his life with Brenda. As I have said a few times, we need some more variations on LW and we've found we can still count on DG Hear to try some.

Have to agree with CageyTree about the story so

far. I can not agree with the Anon who said to run

DNA on the kids. He lost the love of his life because

of her stupidity, why lose his beloved daughters too?

Nice content, like the flow of the story and the end....phew ..I had tears in my eyes too. please make it a happy everafter ending, I have no more tears left.

Looking forward to chapter #2. Hope to see some revenge on the guy and find out his full involvement. He was married also so his family has a right to know.

I agree with the comments I read here, but still I wonder: he knew what she was like before he married her. Is he being unreasonable to expect a leopard to change its spots?

good story by DG Hear. I don't really like the LW category because of the cheating & revenge that goes with it, but with DGH as the author, I'm always willing to give it a try. I look forward to reading the rest of the story, and some resolution, but IMO I don't think a reconciliation would work. A DNA test would also be good - it would be nice to know for sure, right? Even if the kids don't turn out to be his, fatherhood is not bound by DNA alone. It's the love & care that goes with being a parent, and from the story, both were loving parents. Thanks for sharing your talent!

He sounds undersexed to me. They rarely had sex, so she went looking. If they had both wanted to have sex more often, it would have happened, but the impression he leaves is that their infrequent bouts were OK with him. He knew that she was pretty sexual, so I blame him.

Simply stated - this is a wonderful start to a DG Hear story.

1) Why didn't he switch to the day shift so he could spend more time with wife and daughters before the problems happened. /p

2) You let us know most of the story in the 1st paragraph. In this case telling us what you're going to tell us takes away all suspense.

Good story! Please explain WHY she needed to have one last encounter to end the affair? I think she is hiding more. He did the right thing with the presented info in this first chapter. Awaiting further development.

Had to read this one twice to let it all sink in. Now I am ready for the next chapter. Thanks for a good story.PAPATOAD

As always great story. I do agree with husband if it was just once but months sorry could not forgive that.

Thanks for all the nice comments. The story is finished and has been submitted in 4 parts. Hopefully a part will be submitted each of the next three days. You hear Brenda's story, and hear about Rob's revenge. You get to read about what the mining industry is doing about reclaimations. Of course I'll lead you on a few unsuspected turns. Thanks for reading.

With respect

DG Hear

You reverberate an unpretentious style plus loads of credibility. That brings you respect from those who also feel it in your words.<P>

Don't burn out! As we need the occasional break from the careening contorted youths and others who without talent or credibility must use wildly absurd characters unlike life offers to try to sell their wares. Their only consequence is that unless they wean themselves off the idiotic crude hooks they use instead of developing their talents, disdain is all they earn.<P>

So Author - you offer reality in a flavor that most find palatable and a pattern for those who wish to better their acceptance.<P>

You are looked forward to as you entertain with reality and consequence. Please don't change a thing.<P>

With Very High Regard

You've done it again... another great story. Le5t's have more.

You are one of my favorite authors. I love my retribution and reconciliation stories. When I read your submission earlier. I feared I might not get either. After reading your comment, I am anxiously awaiting the next three chapters. Thank you for writing.

Any time I see a story written by DG Hear I assume I'm gong to get to read a great story.I liked this story but it seemed kind of emotionless if there is such a word. He caught her, he divorced her he left her. It seemed like a mechanical process. Maybe as someone said , we hold you to such a high standard, that anything less than perfection disappoints us. Look forward to chapter 02. 60 year old George

Another fine story in your great style. Have to wonder how many twists and turns are coming in the rest. Keep em coming because I love what your doing.

DG Great as usual. Waiting to read the rest and looking forward for all of your twists and turns. I've learnt to never expect anything in one of your stories.

A great big hello to "PAPATOAD" and cant believe your here. I have't seen anything from you in a very long while (hope your still writting) and looking forward to your next great story.

I'm really enjoying this one. Waiting for the usual good ending. As an aside having nothing to do with the story, I noticed a response by PAPATOAD. If this is the same person who posted many great stories on LIT and then pulled them, I wish he would repost. I didn't have a chance to read all of them, and I only saved a few. He was fast becoming one of my favorite writers and I miss him. Sorry, DG, for digressing. You are one of the best, and this is by no means meant to diminish your stature. Thanks for the soapbox.

And I thought that the sub genre of “everyone else knows better what’s best for the ex” had been put to rest. Obviously I was wrong. On one hand I can see the longing for 'they lived happily ever after'. I don’t mind that, especially if the plot builds on circumstances which make it easier rather than harder to believe. Apparently for some the opposite applies, the harder the departure from plausibility: the more satisfying is the happy ending. It would have helped to accept any ending If the plot itself was not taking ‘the road most traveled’, namely - following the common path of an injury/ illness, which brings at least one reluctant ex together with his/her other ex for the purpose of ‘being taken care of’. <P>

Parenthetically, while I was reading in awe mixed with total confusion how one reader in England would not allow poor Rob to even have a flirt with another woman while he is divorced and available, or risk that reader’s sympathetic read, I could appreciate the pressure on that type of “happily ever after” endings <P>

I could almost skip full paragraphs as the story progressed as if on script: first the accident then another injury then the big corrective experience and the big opportunity for Brenda to “re- do” the past. All of the above felt like Brenda was riding into the now diminished character of Rob like a train into the station. Examples: “Cheryl spoke up.”Dad! Mom, Sue and I know what's best for you. We have everything planned out.” Or Rob’s reflecting on the good character of his daughters: “Of course, Brenda was the main influence”; talk about going overboard and reconstructing the past… Two months of an affair plus nine years of divorce flip with no questions into a happy end.

<P> Despite all, DG could not help himself, he would always write as only few can!

I placed it by mistake here and not at the end of chapter 4. DG, feel free to erase both this and my mistakenly placed posting below. I appologize to all, but first to the author for my mistake!

in one section you kept mixing up "Rob" and "Brian's" names. Took me out of it.

everything set in motion was on her. TK U MLJ LV NV

the pain of betrayal is a killer, but the lost of trust can't ever be replaced.

category due to supercucks like cuckdogg2 - goddamn cuckolds running off all the good authors, all because they don't have the gonads to satisfy a woman they cry like bitches here and good authors bail leaving with illiterate drivel or cuck tales.

It seems like wives just don't know how to tell the truth and keep their legs together after 10 or 15 years of marriage. When I caught mine I threw her lying ass out.

And how can he trust anything Joyce says? She apparently knew about the affair and never told him.

What kind of sister helps her own brother's wife cheat, and then covers for her? And when it all came crashing down, she sided with the cheating slut, instead of her brother, and tried to convinve him to take her back as if nothing happened! She is just as worthless as the slut wife, and her whole family should ostracize her.

Joyce is Brenda's friend not robs sister. Other than that tiny mistake your right on

One comment said that he didn't want sex as much as she did. That's not true - they couldn't have sex as much as either wanted due to their schedules.

Repeated lies - first nothing was going on; then it "just happened" that one night; then it was a 4-month long affair.

Then "she was breaking it off". You don't need to fuck your lover to end things. You CERTAINLY don't need to stay out all night! It's a common theme here, where the cheating wife just HAS to see the other guy to end it, she can't just call or Email!

As for "deleting" the phone logs. This is another common theme. What the writers are apparently unaware of is that many providers, maybe all, have online access where you can check your usage.

both are dirty, one physical the other mental. TK U MLJ LV NV

a very good start. Five stars.

You're right. Joyce is not his sister. I must have assumed she was, when he spoke to Mitch, and called himself 'Uncle' Rob.

the miners are well aware of this, TK U MLJ LV NV

No revenge, no punishment. Much more likely to happen in real life than the scorched earth scenarios. Looking forward to part 02.

Every woman is a lying, cheating slut when they think they can get away with it

I don't know how a marriage could recover from the cheating and lying. I hope further chapters will have him kicking Cooter's ass. With coal mines and guys named Cooter, this has to be set in Kentucky.

If he could swop to the day shift,why didn't he do it when the girls were growing up?.

This guy was working his butt off the only way he could. Of course he was working the night shift, because it paid a lot better. He was earning every dollar he could so his Wife and Daughters could have a good life. That's why he didn't just settle for the basic wage. He did it for his family.

People who know nothing about mining gotta understand that the pay is lousy when you got a family to feed. So he was earning every last dollar he could, that meant sacrifices. Maybe what happened with his Wife was Inevitable, but what else could he do?

I feel she could have told him about her troubles, being lonely whatever, and maybe they both could have made more of an effort. She could have changed her schedule a bit, whatever it took to have time to be with him. Their Girls were old enough to understand, even if it meant a little less money.

But nope...there he was working his butt off to pay for those kids to finish their school, maybe go to College. F*ck him right? He was only being a Man and a good Husband and Father. I hate wives who make up BS excuses.

Need to tell Joyce’s husband. If a woman will cover up cheating, then she will cheat herself.

ZK

Just like you can't make a whore into a housewife, you can't make a slut into a housewife.

Also, the previous Anon is right about Joyce and Rob should tell Brian's wife as well. Drag the adulterers into the light.

If he can transfer to the day shift,just like that,how come he didn't do it earlier?.

Nice build-up, well done. Just the right amount of erotica, the length of this chapter was on the spot. 5*

Brenda's punishment will never be enough! What a nitwit!!! Rob has all my sympathy.

Again, who are those who will suffer the most? The kids! If Brenda had been smart, she would have known. She is NOT worthy of the love from her daughters. Minus 5* for the story line and 4* for the weaving of the story.

BJ

Weak.

According to his shift times,he worked an average of sixty six hours a week,get real.If he could move to the day shift,why didn't he do it earlier in the marriage to spend more time with his family?.

Given his shift pattern he worked an average of sixty six hours a week,get real.Also,if he could transfer on to the day shift,why didn't he do it earlier in order to spend more time with his family?.

The only miner that hasn't been cheated on is the one with an ugly wife and even then it's a close call.
