Loved the story, loved the song. Always a great read from you DG, which we have come to expect. Keep them coming pleae.
A fan always
Dg, it's nice to see an author who might have cheating wives but also not be afraid to end his stories with happily ever after. Great read as always,
Danielle
You have a voice and point of view that is rare and unexpected. But, your other fans are right, we are coming to expect it more often. Please keep up the great work. It's tremendous on so many levels.
Really enjoyed this one. Keep up the good work and keep trying new stuff.
Another title to describe your strong and so appreciated efforts.
Thanks Author - With High Regard
The stry certainly sounds like the love, life and tribulations during high school. You would prefer one girl but you're with another and you DON'T know her. She could well have been like Shiela. Except I never found out.
The marriage was dissolved with little problems and no hate, just disappointment.
This a a great story and well written.
The happy ending is great even though a marriage had to be broken to gain it. Fortunately it would appear that everyone came away happier.
Very ery good story, loved the ending. This was one that left a smile on my face
It was a great story to read, not only a wonderful ending but had alot of truth on how life can be. Thanks for writing it
A really good storyline that rings true. Good craftsmanship and excellent character development. They came alive in the reader's mind. The only thing I disagreed with was that I like one of Eddy Arnold's versions of the song better than the Ray Charles rendition.
:)
Seriously, Kudos, DG. Keep up the good work.
This is another in a long line of great stories from you. You always have the kind of plots that draw me in and hold me until the end. Thanks.
Except I like Willie nelson's version.
You have really matured as a writer!
So true to how life can be. It made me a little sad for the children, one losing
a man she thought of as dad and another who has missed time in her young life with her father.
Thanks for a good story.
Nicely done, DG. Realistic and heartwarming. I was really happy to see that things worked out well for Jerry. Thanks for a good read.
It feels great reading a heart-warming story like this. Thanks and looking forward for another good read from one of the respected authors in this site.
thanks again.

I love a happy ending (where everyone came away happier) in a 'cheating wife' tale. I was, however, more than a little sad for Ellie. The characters came alive in this truly heartwarming story. Hats off to you for the wonderful ending! To me, a story written by a master!
I have read several of your stories and you write as if it were real life happenings. I love them. Keep up the good work.

Finally a male character who wears boxers! YAY!
I think this is the first one of youre ive ever read with boxers in it hehe!
Quite possibly your finest work. And please pay no attention to the previous music critics, Ray Charles' version is clearly the definitive recording.
The only thing I would have liked to have seen in this was a little revenge against her parents for facilitating the affair.
I have liked all your stories that I have read so far. You are great at coming up with various angles for stories.
I have never commented on your other stories but there one thing that bugs me on this one. I can understand why Kelly married Jerry for revenge for Tom and being scared about the pregancy. The thing that bugs me is why she persisted in staying married to Jerry. Maybe I am dense and just do not see it. But Kelly had more to gain by leaving Jerry and going with Tom. I saw her loosing virtually nothing by doing so. Kelly was clearly displeased with Jerry's type of life based on the disparaging comments she made about her parents buying her clothes, etc..
Well I am about to run out of reading here -
I may have to put in full work days if you do not fix that??
this was a simple formula WINNER - a couple of neat twists but very predictable - still a lot of tun to read though -
And that's saying a lot!
I always start at the top of your list and work down, and you've written so many stories that I never got down to the bottom. This time I started down there, and found this eight year old jewel. It's a real gem!
The only thing that would have made it better for me is if he could have somehow gotten custody of Ellie. Hard to give up a child that you love. And how can you not love a child? Thanks for the story.
like all pig ignorant men he thinks with his dick and not his brain...and to go off and marry that slut and let a loving girl down...what an asshole...eventually the truth came out and he got the girl and daughter who had loved him since school...but like many jerks...he was too blind to see...at least she waited for him to realise his monumental mistake by marrying that cheating whore...
i don't waste keystrokes on capitals, unless they´ve been already put there by whatever wp i ́m using. here goes...
interesting story, very easy reading, somewhat corny, however,...
horrible spelling, too many to list. this was edited?
ignorance of basic female anatomy. he writes vagina when he means vulva, which he probably never heard of. either pussy or cunt would have been fine, as they are both vulgar synonyms for vulva.
author´s question marks. he doesn't know difference between a question and a statement. I asked her if she still loved me. a statement. does she love me? a question.
how important it was to me to own my own business. everyone owns their own stuff. the second own is redundant, and sounds stupid.
All the patrons were staring at me. congrats for the correct spelling of the previously ubiquitous starring.
As we walked hand in and with Jeri in the middle. can´t be a typo, since a and h use different keyboard hands (unless you´re a one finger typist).
editor(s) appear incompetent, and sometimes you get what you pay for.
still readable though, great imagination! thanks.

No revenge against Tom and Kelly.At the least he should have got back maintenance off Tom and let their affair be known in the town.
Nice story but it takes awfully long for it to become sweet; the foggy blinders had to first fall off of Jerry's eyes and he even needed the help of a past friend. How blind can you be?
Kelly is the typical slut; she has so little love for her husband! The only important person is her! Jerry acts like a wimp and thinks with his little head until he wakes up.
I would have hoped to see a more severe revenge on Tom: like Tom paying child support to Jerry for all the months that Jerry paid for Ellie's up-keep.
I wonder what Tom's father thought about the impact of his son's life style, actions and reputation on the financial well-being of his bank?
