i love your story.

Oooh gee. Can't type enough to tell you how much this meant to me. I needed this. So beautifully written.. Perfectmy imperfect story about imperfect humans. I loved every single word. Thanks so much 3

The feels...

Achy breaky heart

Great chapter

I get Bella... She's hurt. She wants Edward to have the life they dreamed about, except without her.. Breaks my heart. Unfortunately it happens so frequent.. Xo

Omg no!

Didn’t take Edward long to move on start sleeping with someone else even worse that someone else was Bella’s friend . Bella was right when she said Chelsea wanted Edward . Yes Bella was wrong for leaving but she just found out she had cancer she was angry and all over the place he just went and fell into her friends bed in a couple months while Bella was having surgery and suffering .

I'm so glad you included both of their point of views, otherwise I don't think any of us would have seen any redeemable qualities in either of them worth fighting for.

Want more...sequence please?

The angst. It was painfully beautiful.

I tried but it became too sexist for me.
Xoxo

God, how I wish Edward ended up with Chelsea. I was honestly praying he was going to move on. I’ve never been in his position - or felt the love he has felt - so I guess I would never truly understand why he chose to go back to someone who has stomped on his heart. Great story, nonetheless! One of the few stories that has made me feel so invested in the characters.

I can respect his decision. He's right that's Chelsea
deserves to have someone love her with abandon.
I think part of me reacted so strongly toward Bella
and her decisions, because I struggle with
unexplained infertility. They used to think I have
PCOS, but the two specialists I went to said no. We
know that my husband also has problems. We create
empty ovums between us. My body responds like I'm
pregnant for about two weeks, and then is flushes
the firmly attached, empty egg. It kills me a bit
inside every time.
In SEVENTEEN YEARS of struggle with this, and
eithteen years of marriage as of this month, I never
entertained the thought of leaving him...not over
this. We both 'deserve(d)' children, but obviously,
it wasn't part of the plan for us.
I cannot fathom pushing my husband away because
I can't give him what we both want. It would only
crush us both. That said, I know everyone be reacts
to stress and pain differently.
I do thank you, however, for the exhortation to go
get checked. In my disappointment and anguish, I
have neglected (okay, outright refused) to be seen
for the last seven years. I know it is so far beyond
time.
I'm so glad you shared your story, and that you
have been blessed with the gift of your family. I'm
glad to know that HEAs actually happen for some!
*huggles*

Mike makes some good points, I grant you.
Doesn't mean I don't still think Chelsea is
the wiser bet!

I think she should wind up with a Jacob.
She did so much more damage in her
leaving Edward than New Moon Edward
ever did to Bella. Her lies began instantly
when she did t tell him she was having
health issues, to begin with! The leaving
was simply the final nail in what should be
the coffin of their relationship.
