Creative and daring, but it missed the emotional tenor after they found him in his new home. Think the Tim stuff was a weird distraction. Fine have him f$ck her once, send the photo and then fade to black once he got released. Tim was a stupid misdirect. As was the whole premise that her f$cking Tim once when she was lonely, hurting and vulnerable was so how the main course. Compared to the rest of the hellish situation and him being cut off at the knees, that was a molehill on a mountain. She had filed, severed him from her and her daughter's life, and she screwed Tim once. Big deal. At least comparatively speaking. But the emotions portrayed the MC are just odd later on the story. He woukd have PTSD from his experiences and his abandonment. I coukd se forgiving the daughter. She is 16 and believed what society and her mother and grandparents were telling her. Thr parents? Screw them. They had 40 some years to know the man he was. As he said they could have said they are under a lot of pressure and can't help much now. But Megan? Sure she comes off as massively contrite and willing to do any penance. And in reality he probably IS better of with her in the end. But getting yo that stage woukd be hellishly rough due to his trauma and the nasty divorce. Understanding what she wrnt through and he went through woukd need to be mediated by a counselor. The emotional pitch should have been 10 times higher to reflect real life imho. I stead it wad just kind of limp and bedraggled. And thr reconciliation by her stalking was just to fast and too simple. Seriously he didn't even communicate with her about his time in jail for 5 months. How he looked over and over to commit suicide but had no recourse. How thr lawyer wad a joke. How they all railroaded him. Claiming he had a weapon - his pliers and wrench. There is now ay they get back together without her clearly communicating what she was told, felt, and why she did what she did. There is a bit of that but it is terse. But there is also no way they reconcile without him fully venting his spleen about the betrayal of trust and the abandonment of their love. One could make the counter argument that they got swept up in the media and social frenzy but their actions were no different than watching a large mob force him to crucify him without lifting thrn lifting a finger. I am not saying (for some people) that reconciliation would not be possible, but not so easy and not without considerable counseling. And he needs major therapy. NOT just watching waves. Karen was a saint. And while Megan was not evil, she did not remotely even try to question him. He was immediately guilty in her eyes and those of the others. Cannot see the relationship with the parents ever be the same. Cannot see any desire to be anywhere with the friends. So the daughter. Sure. Hard but not unreasonable. Megan? Maybe. But only if a lot more emotional fireworks, lengthy time gap, and serious counseling and therapy. Thr parents? Not much probably. Some platitudes but a strained relationship until they die. Maybe some facade for them. For the friends. Nothing.

For me this is four stars, but if the distraction had been removed at an appropriate time and the emotional falllout had been remotely realistic, then even if a reconciliation (not a RAAC, everyone suffered (except Tim)), this would have been a stellar 5 stars. Too bad. A missed opportunity from a talent writer.

The raac loses 3 stars. Look...a well written reconciliation is fine, but not a far fetched raac.

Five stars for the original concept of the story. One star for the unbelievable RAAC at the end. No possible way to EVER get back with his ex-wife or family. They are truly despicable people.

A little difficult to like a story where everybody is a piece of shit. Well, Karen excepted.

Considering how obvious it was that he actually was there as a plumber, it wouldn’t just be lawsuits against the media. He would have a case against the police for wrongful arrest, and against the prosecutors for malicious prosecution. By the time his lawyers were done, the residents of that county would be looking at increased taxes for twenty years to cover the payments.

I would have stayed in the town, and used my money to make everyone’s life HELL!!! Tim would be tortured until he went insane, and then left crippled in front of the hospital. His so called family and friends would be manipulated into losing jobs, homes, and all support. I want them slowly starving under a bridge! The idiot police lose their jobs, and possibly go to prison. Back a candidate to run against the prosecutor in the next election. The pretty news anchor who sneered at him, is now begging to do ANYTHING to keep her job since he bought the local television station.

You decided that I’m evil, so I’m going to be evil to you. Just not the way you falsely accused me.

Yeah, I can't swallow this. If something like this happened to ANYONE I cared about, not to mentioned loved- esp my spouse- I would at the VERY least hear them out completely. Sadly for this MC, the past will taint his future. How can it not?

AnonymousAnonymous2 months ago

Ok, I know the police can be really incompetent and biased against an innocent person but checking his phone logs, the time he received the call for the plumbing Emergency, and the time of the last job that he had been on that day, should have clued in the Police to the accuracy and veracity of his claim that he was just the plumber. That in itself should’ve given him more credibility and the police should’ve done further investigation. He should never have been left rotting in jail for many months.

So, I had an uncle once that was arrested for this kind of crime and pretty much just like the people in this story, including his own parents and children, they more or less disowned him. The difference, I guess, is that he was guilty so no one felt bad about it. However, in this case - I don't know. It's complicated. I'd imagine if I was in Megan's shoes here - she's horrified by what everyone is saying her husband has done, everyone in her community is taunting her and treating her like a criminal, her daughter is being bullied at school, etc. It has to be traumatizing and the natural response would be exactly like the one she had and the one my family had - cut all ties as soon as possible. However, in Megan's case - she finds out later it was all a lie and everyone ELSE gets to go back to their lives as normal, except for her and Curt and their daughter. That's pretty brutal. In this way, I think her feeling of powerlessness at that point would be identical the feeling Curt had in prison. Sure, there are differences in the circumstances, but that feeling of loss would be almost the same. Personally I think this is a good theme and a good story, the only problem I have with it is the same problem I have with a lot of this guys stories - he can't write dialog to save his life. I'm guessing he might be a foreign language speaker or something based on the way he constructs his sentences to convey concise meaning, but without any of the accoutrements that people normally put in their phrasing which give it personality, subtleness, hidden context, etc. Still, a good story 5/5

This author has no idea how to write about suffering and grief. Years and years of incarceration while being innocent isn't just forgotten easily. And no human can ever just forgive and forget that easily. I'm not against reconciliation but this is just plain lazy writing

Well this was a fuckin joke. First why not also sue the state/county for the false arrest? Also he never should have let them in the house. It's perplexing how people keep those in their lives who betray them.

Well it's been stated that this writer is part of Literotica's simp-pack. So I guess that explains the unrealistic and pathetic ending.

Dear author why do your stories all have a wimpy cuck husband? Do you secretly like this type of wimpy MC husband? Seriously, the family disown him without any plausible clause, let's no go into his wife and daughter, the daughter i can understand, but no way in hell he takes back or is still in love with his wife, sigh.. with his character, he deserves to be cucked again and dear author if you're a married man and your behavior is such as portrayed in this wimpy cuck husband, I worry about you.. watch out for your wife

Wow so many commenters who live by Hammurabic law. "Eye for an eye", burn all who hurt me!

Anyways good story. Really felt for the accused. The betrayal was by his family believing him capable of such a thing, but the authorities and the media and the public all jumped to conclusions and bludgeoned them with that over and over. Regardless her sleeping once with the asshole predator "friend" is a minor footnote to a bigger tragedy. Why shouldn't he find happiness again? This is not the usual loving wives / cheating scenario. But whatever, you do you!

I (mostly) agree with Anon/ZK from 6 months ago, burn those who burned him.

Make his parents and wife stand at upper end malls wearing boards with big letters,

I AM A STUPID BITCH DAUGHTER/MOTHER/FATHER WHO FALSELY BELIEVED THIS MAN WAS GUILTY WHEN HE WAS INNOCENT.

They'd have to do that in pairs during Holiday shopping. After they did that penance I'd feel they'd have experienced a fraction of the scorn he'd received, but still without the FEAR of a life of ALONENESS and punishment for something he was innocent of.

The single flaw in the reconciliation with Megan was the fact that she never looked back when she flushed him down the drain. The daughter could be excused because she was a child but Megan had spent more than 17 years with him. The same is true for his parents. I know that the author wanted to bring his family back to him the excuse that society made them do it just do not fly. He was a plumber who took small jobs. When was he going to have time to run a child molesting ring? Even if society expected them to cut ties with him the fact that they never took the time to meet once when him means that they believed that he was the scrum of the Earth.

Sorry, not sorry. Him taking Meghan back or reconciling with those wretched people who utterly abandoned him and believed the worst of him so quickly bogles them mind and stretches credulity to the point that Hans Christian Anderson would be embarrassed to come up with such a fairy tale. Oh wait, Curt still loves her the trope that explains all.... Curt needs to get his head checked. Repeat after me, love does not make you a doormat.

AnonymousAnonymousabout 1 year ago

This is a much better story than its rating. Lot of emotion. This is not a RAAC. Both sides paid a huge cost. A lot of wives would have folded under similar circumstances. It sucks but it is true. The MC got railroaded by the authorities and the media. Also in UK, guilty until proven innocent. The whole mentality about how society views the accused is different than in the US. Moreover, being accused a pedophile is the worst thing possible. Not sure why people are hung up on her having (shitty) sex with Tim one time, after she had filed and was in deep depression. Her betrayal was not standing by her man under the accusations and the pressure from the outside, but also friends and family. She wasn't just remorseful. She was penitent. There is a difference. Forgiveness is the best path here. Whether he remarried or not was his choice. She certainly went out of her way to be available for him and communicate with him and own what she did wrong. Seriously, a lot of women would cave under such circumstances and seek a divorce. Equating this to an affair or a trading up scenario is laughable.

AnonymousAnonymousabout 1 year ago

Not sure why peoppe are hung up with Megan sleeping with Tim. Yes it was a bit shitty of her as she had just filed. But it wasn't a betrayal. Thr betrayal was not standing by her husband through such horrific times. But honestly that shit happens. It sucks, but there is a powerful herd mentality that can really feed thr nightmare narrative. He went through hell. No doubt. She and her family suffered but to a much lesser extent. But she then had to deal with her immense guilt for severing all contact and torching him in the divorce. The betrayal is she believed her husband really was a child molester. She let the authorities and media and and the ensuing circus and society sway her to that conclusion. Once a person believes that then her actions while hurtful are entirely rational. The problem is she, just like her whole family, was completely wrong. She certainly was remorseful and penitent and did everything imaginable to make up for it, including moving to his town, uprooting their daughter, and making herself available. That is hard to reject if you are still in love with them. In this way she expected her guilt and he was able to heal. The crap with Tim was surreal. That was like a separate story. The wife felt alone and miserable after filing for divorce and in a moment of vulnerability she slept with Tim, crappy sex to boot, and regretted afterwards but especially when she learned Tim sent a photo yo her ex husband. But she did NOT cheat in terms of adultery. She had filed and he was in jail and the separation was already started. Was it shitty given the timing? Yeah? More so because he was falsely charged with a hideous crime and all alone in jail. He'll yeah. But she didn't create the circumstances that landed him in jail.and be railroaded by the authorities and media. She was simply to weak to stand up for her man. That was her betrayal. But given the circumstances, while disconcerting and sad, she wasn't some evil monster or bitch. She made an honest mistake and caved to mounting pressures from multiple sources, letting the herd convince of her husband's guilt. His story is tragic but he survived it and with her coming back and wanting any sort of relationship in his life, she healed him. So yeah who cares about her one time roll in the bed with Tim? It is insignificant. And not even technical adultery. She feels and about it because of what happened and how she let her husband down, but that is the crux of the story, not fruitcake Tim. Glad to see they reconciled. Unique plot. Creative.

I'm not against reconciliation but not with a woman like Megan who not only had misunderstood but abandoned the man who really needed her the most. Along with this, she'd had slept with someone else, too. She even divorced him.

I didn't understand why Curt had allowed the bitch and dumped a woman like Karen. Probably, he was a pussy and person like him always deserve a slut like Megan.

TOU EFFIN OWE ME MY 10 MINUTES BACK!!

NonSequitourNonSequitourover 1 year ago

I've read lots of SciFi; but I don't read mainstream fantasy, which I define as Swords, Sorcerers, and Dragons. I don't read them because they are populated by fantasy characters with magic. Magic doesn't exist, so real people don't act like those characters.

I've rear hundreds of stories by dozens of authors with relatable, believable characters. I've read a handful of this author's stories, and they are difficult to read because none of the characters think, talk, or act like any real people I have known or can imagine.

Put yourself in Curt's shoes. I'll bet 90% of readers, after the 10.5 mil check cleared; would pay someone shady to have put Tim in a wheelchair for life, if not underground.

Family and friends ditched him without listening to ONE WORD. After he is released they try to call but never come to his door for a year. Like his dad says, "Please remember me as the father I've been for you. Not as the weak bastard I've been during this terrible time." Tell them all "Fine. I'll remember the good times. Now GTFO!"

The arrest and detention are ludicrous. He's wearing work clothes. He's got plumber's tools, one in his dirty hand. There's a plumber's truck outside. His phone will show a call received from someone there. The Keystone Cops could figure this out in 5 minutes.

Like the fourth comment previous said, not a lot of grey cells here.

A good story about abandonment & reconciliation. Thank-you for this story. Not sure I could reconcile after such betrayal. Forgive, yes, but to trust them again? Doubtful.

-

I had a thought. Curt, the MC, sued the media as he should, but, he should have filed a complaint against the judge who presided over his divorce. Curt was treated as if he was already convicted. His complaint would be his Constitutional Rights were violated. What happened to him being "innocent until proven guilty"?

AnonymousAnonymousover 1 year ago

This just proves to get the facts by listening. All too often innocent persons are sent to prison and guilty ones are not convicted. Even if he was found guilty, he would have been innocent except his life would have been hell. How many persons are driven to take a plea bargain as it's a lesser sentence and admit guilt. I would not out of principle. It this story what was not checked is when the plumbing job was booked. That would have been some proof as to when he got to the house. As it was raided quickly, he could show them his phone when the call came in. I feel somewhat sorry for Karen, I feel she deserved more

AnonymousAnonymousover 1 year ago

I know he's a millionaire, but I'd still sue for half their assets, just on general principles.

\

Even without Tim, what they all did was simply unforgivable. That he was able to say the words is admirable, but that doesn't mean that he should have anything to do with them.

\

"most of all I felt just so very alone." - Think how alone Curt was! She wouldn't have been so a.one if she stood by her husband.

\

"Shit. I didn't want to argue." - No, he's exactly right.

\

"But the crime you were accused of was just so horrible." - Yes, with NO evidence, and she HAD to know it was a mistake.

\

As others have said, how could they have already been under such pressure to dump him when he had just been arrested, and as for how horrible the crime was, that's the true test: It's easy to stand by someone when they're accused of a minor crime. if you really love someone you'll stand by them no matter what, at LEAST until they're convicted, sometimes even after!

AnonymousAnonymousover 1 year ago

Not really sure why all the vitriol. Yes the wife and daughter and family shunned him and cut him off. But the media made it all look damning. The MC got railroaded with a subpar attorney and Tim helping to set things up. Yes the wife "cheated" on him with Tim. She was lonely, sad, miserable, lost her husband, and filed for a divorce knowing he would be in prison. She was utterly devoted to him after finding him again. She despised Tim, who was a vile serpent and probably helped stoke the rhetoric surrounding the MC's arrest. The media and Tim and a zealous justice system manipulated this family into their worst selves. And the hangup on the one time sex with Tim post divorce filing is not the crux. It was the abandonment when he really needed it. As Karen said it was destined for reconciliation when she saw the wife look at the MC.

dcvngtn3dcvngtn3almost 2 years ago

I can get forgiving the people who betrayed you the most, after years of having time to consider it. I cannot get allowing them back in your life for any reason. They were devastated by the news and presumed guilt, sure, but they still betrayed their son/husband/father/friend in the worst way imaginable.

Oh, the father is in bad health? Too bad, so sad. Perhaps if he had talked to his son during the whole thing then it wouldn't have been as detrimental to his health.

Oh, the daughter really does love her daddy and wants him back? Where was that attitude when he was locked up?

Oh the wife was miserable and "alone". She should have known her husband better than anyone, and yet she wasn't alone for her one little mishap. She abandoned the man she claimed to love without even a chance.

What did these people do to actually earn forgiveness and a place in his life? They showed up at his door with a "We're Sorry" sign? Nah, doesn't cut it.

Letting go of the anger and hatred over this betrayal is one thing, it certainly does take a lot of time and effort. But allowing them back into your life with just a few contrite words? Nope.

Aside from the absolute horrible ending, there was a good plot here to make a great story. Unfortunately, we didn't get a great story at all.

I almost gave you 5 stars but for him to take any of those people back into his life was highly improbable. If there is a true friend ship and true love and trust being part of those emotions then none of those people would have believed what was being said about him. There is no forgiveness for what they did no mater what kind of pressure's they were under from the news, neighbors, friends and relatives. You either believe in somebody or you don't. I could see him forgiving them but never having any kind of close relationship again. Be civil and polite but that's it was a good story up until he let them back into his life. How could you ever trust them again?

Men come in all shapes and sizes (emotionally as well as physically) and some men (in common with the hero of the story) hardly have a vindictive bone in their body, find forgiveness easy and recognise that accepting a repentant's love will make them far happier than giving in to pride and revenge.

I'm not sure I'd be as forgiving as Carl but that doesn't stop me from recognising this as a rather charming and accomplished tale of love overcoming betrayal and winning in the end.

Wrong out come,he should have sent Megan and all packing when they turned up.

I seem to be in a large majority who really enjoyed the story right up until Megan re-appeared, fluttered her overly made-up eyelids and they dive straight into bed. I wish I had stopped reading at that point.

I understand the concept of forgiveness and reconciliation but the wounding parties here (ex-wife, ex-daughter, ex-parents) really got off absurdly lightly despite having completely abandoned Curt when he needed them most.

There is no way he would be charging $50 for a plumbing service call. Especially an after hours emergency service call. Looking at $150 or more.

This was just terrible, completely stupid. One of the best wimp male characters seen yet. Garbage.

Poorly crafted after a decent start; the writing just deteriorated with each passing paragraph. Throw in a completely unrealistic outcome and you have what is to be expected. Nothing.
