very good. make a sequel and name it 10 years.

Lovely. Very well written and I throughly enjoyed reading!

Aww...that chapter was good, although you left me in a little suspense with new husband. The whole story was good. I was on a rollorcaster of emotions and really involved hanging on every word, loving almost every reaction and LOVED every situation that arises from their 5 year long mistake. 5 YEARS! Arnold showed you can be married that long and not abused your wife and still love her. Although you cause me headaches and mirages and to be upset almost every chapter with the ridicuious decisions these two make. I wanted to ban my head against the wall on how painful it was to read some lines. Primarily, the first thing you should do when you get beat up is take pictures to prove as evidence (should have been before with her dad) and then CLEAN UP! Even when Arnold hot hurt the 1st thing she did was wipe his face well her friend did. It irritated me to no end when in at least 3 or 4 chapters after being abuse, went to Arnold, her sister and a hospital and nobody thought to clean her up. She even had sex and walk around nake with blood in her hair. Arnold at the time i think gave her what she wants not needs. I am glad how it turned out though. Glad they paid their dues and hopefully they will stop running away from their problems so much. I would never understand some things though; why didn't Helga reported to the police or got treatment for the abuse from her father and husband? why didn't arnold report or at least try something to help when he realize this is happeninf more frequently when they were teens, why didn't her best friend did anything if she knew or suspected? Why didnt anyone help helga clean up before grandma did, why didn't Marian help her child when she got hit? how in the hell did they keep this up for 5 years? More questions but these were burning though my mind all the way to the end of the story. I can understand it was for the plot and drama but even reasons or excuses could have helped. Almost gave off one of those movies vibes. I still enjoyed the cuteness and romance between the two and the drama it creates so i pressed on. I still like it overall but geesh mirages. Good story.

I'm getting into the swing of this story now.

Life, drama and stupidity. The life of a cheater.

5 years?! There is something called a divorced people! Geesh.

Daaaaang did not expect Arnold to drop that bomb at the end... Holy crap.

Anyways, before that happened, I was about to say that I loved how this confrontation worked out. It was very in character for her family, and I love seeing that Miriam regrets what she missed out on, and that they're all resenting Bob for it. Was literally cheering Helga on the whole time and dying laughing at the things that were said.

That explains so much about why he took so long to break it off with Lila... dang Helga, I couldn't even figure that out! xD But it makes sense.

Yesss she fought back! Loving this story.
Oh, and the way she was talking to Lila earlier was killing me... so nosy (I mean duh she has a right to be but still)

Awww poor thing. that's so sad! anyways, reading on because this is intriguing..

I read your story before. But you seemed to stop writing it around ch 24 and did not continue for a while and unfortunately, I forgot. But I found your story again….and complete.

Usually, this is a type of story I have mixed feelings about. How Helga, or Arnold, or both wait too long to tell the other how much they love each other. It is a very difficult job to make it credible on why A/H wait too long to tell the other how much they love the other. Even I could not and would not want to write such a challenging story.

But you made this storyline believable.

First of all, I liked that you had both A/H, not only care about each other, but believing that the other didn’t care, making both move on and go to the next level. Arnold gets engaged to Lila and Helga marries Jason. But both realize that they made the mistake of finding someone else and knew that they loved each other.

I really like how you had Arnold stall for so many years to break up with Lila. It made sense that when Arnold found out his parents were dead, it changed Arnold a little, in which he did not care about fixing problems, but put the problem away to not be fixed.

Your portrayal of Lila was exactly how I expected her to be in these different emotional states she was into. She was happy, sweet, caring….as well as depressed, jealous, bitter and angry. But I did leave out one emotion that you never portrayed her as being…..evil. Many writers like to make her as being evil, but she is not. These were the feelings Lila had before she found out about A/H and after she found out. Thank you for that portrayal.

You really had every character’s emotion almost to the point of perfection. It really had my emotions too.

The last chapter you almost fooled me, when you only described Helga and not Arnold in the beginning of the chapter. I actually thought Arnold died. You were playing with my emotions when I read about a person coming in the front door to Helga. That was quite a twist and I’m glad it was Arnold.

This was an excellent story. You made an almost impossible storyline believable.

Because I was in public when reading the beginning of this chapter, I had to blink and fight back tears. You pulled that off nicely making the reader believe the worse, but redeeming us at the end. This was a great, poignant story - abuse, affairs, adultery, jealousy, love and caring in the middle of madness. Life's issues. Very well done!

It didn't let me send my review so I had to log out and try this way. Anyway,
You got me on the edge of the seat waiting to be sure the guy who had married her was Arnold! I'm happy he made it and I guess it was okay that they moved.
It's a lovely ending. Thank you for making us enjoy with every chapter of this story. I'm happy you came to finish it. I'm sad it ended, but I hope to read more from you soon. Congratulations.

Ah life is SOOO GOOOOD! YOU SCARED ME! uhhg, happy endings always get to me :,)
