I know it must say something about my personality maybe it's the guilt my parents used to keep me in line as a child maybe it was just my nature all I know is that even as a kid there were some nights when I would wake up with the most horrible nightmare that I've committed some terrible crime and it's just a matter of time before they come for me I knew my guilt I knew the evidence was out there and I knew I'd get caught my heart would race and I'd sit bolt upright from a dead
sleep and struggle to get back to sleep the funny thing is I don't have those dreams anymore when I met my wife she was sweet and loving she giggled when I made a joke and she won my mother over the first time they'd met we were married for 12 years and all was well those first few years until about 6 months after our first child a daughter was born that was when she began to change it was gradual at first and it took years we had a second child a son born 2 years later that
seemed to cement her new personality and with every passing year it got worse she grew ill-tempered with me and would take sniping shots at the kids let's just say that motherhood did not agree with my wife I tried to talk with her about it more times than I can remember but those attempts only led to arguments that she would manufacture I eventually gave up any attempt to fix a marriage broken by forces unknown and we lived two parallel lives if you asked me what I did to deserve it I'd be at a loss to answer
she was just an unhappy woman never satisfied with what she had and always wanting more as the children grew she found more reasons to be out of the house these were her distractions and they grew more numerous with the passing years I would get home from work and pass my wife in the hall as she was headed out you need to fix dinner I'm going out big surprise it got so that I viewed those words as a gift the nights she went out were calm in the house it was the night she stayed in that
I resented I fixed most dinners and I did the food shopping I knew what was in the fridge and I planned the week's meals as the children Grew Older they gravitated toward me as I became both mother and father to them both you know that's just not right a father hopes his children will be happy to greet him when he gets home but he knows that their mother is the center of their little lives my kids seem to hide in their rooms until I got home and then would burst forth to play with their dad
I felt I didn't know her anymore her mother had cheated on her father and turned her betrayal into a lifestyle my wife saw what it did to him his wife threatened to take the kids away so he stayed and he suffered until they went off to college and then he left my wife saw the pain that her mother's betrayal caused and swore she would never become her mother that was another vow broken the beginning of the end arrived One Night in late March the kids were in bed and my wife came into the living room
to utter those words that have made the blood of husbands turn cold for Generations David we need to talk she didn't even call me honey like a school teacher instructing a wayward child she explained to me that she would start spending her nights with her lover it came as no news to me and as with her nights out I accepted the news with relief in my wife's case less was definitely more I had long ago taken to sleeping in the guest room and her absence would only make our lives less stressful at first I thought
she took my acceptance as a victory but before she left the room I thought I detected a note of disappointment was she trying to inflict pain did she want me to beg her not to stray to my thinking she was just admitting what I had long known and like her father I was staying for my children until they were raised and out of the house the next few months established the new normal and my children never even asked where their mother was had she told them I doubt it I think they were as relieved as
me Spring came and I began the usual chores that come with warm weather we spent a Saturday my children and I doing the spring cleaning airing out the house dusting and polishing my wife had now begun to spend weekends away which was a decision that I embraced My Two children worked hard that day and I was as proud of them as a parent could be we celebrated our hard work that night with cheeseburgers and root beer floats in the weeks after that I did the things that the children were too young to do I rehung
a shudder that a wind storm had torn from the house with the windows now open in the warm spring air I repainted the living and dining rooms along with the entryway I replaced exterior trim boards that were losing their battle to rot and replaced some weather stripping that was past its prime together we prepared the garden for summer we had become a family of three I do try to maintain the house myself as best I can but there are some tasks I do not do I bring in professionals to clean the furnace every fall and
I have the septic truck drain the septic tank Every Spring that has got to be the worst job on the planet they dig up a bit of sod to uncover the lid and then they lower that big hose into the tank of Filth until they suck it dry even on my worst day on the job I have a better day than that they do a fairly good job of restoring the patch of yard where they dig out the septic lid but you can still see the dirt and mangled sod for a few weeks after it
was the following Friday night I knew knew the kids were with their grandparents for the weekend I had long ago informed my parents of my wife's activities and they felt it their job to give the grandchildren the occasional weekend of fun as their way of making sure the kids felt loved my children adored their grandparents I came home with carry out expecting an empty house and a quiet evening but I was met with something very different in the living room sat my wife and her latest distraction she was flaunting her Affair and he was drinking
my good scotch I didn't give a damn about the affair but the scotch irritated me I stood before them as she giggled and he snickered and then the lecture began he was spending the weekend and they would be sleeping in what had once been our bed she explained that I could watch if I wanted and for some reason she found that to be terribly funny it finally occurred to me as she spoke that it seemed she had a need to systematically escalate her Trail year after year as if she no longer got a thrill from
any existing attempts to belittle me and needed to find new and more exciting ways to destroy me I wondered where this would lead as if the question posed some abstract academic exercise I felt nothing for her and little to no pain from her betrayal but I wondered what I would need to do to protect my children I said nothing I suppose she thought that I was speechless rendered submissive and surprised by the depth of her depravity but the truth is that I was trying to decide whether I gave a damn I had long ago accepted
that the woman I'd married was dead she stood dropped her dress in front of me to reveal her naked form and then walked laughingly up the stairs to her bedroom he walked alongside her and snatched my dinner from my hand I suppose at that moment I was a wimp but I had come to find both her and her companions to be so far beyond contempt that they were not worth the effort of confronting them at least I would have ignored them had he not done one more thing that was too much for me to ignore
he struck me as he walked by he laughed and a switch inside me was thrown I've looked back on that moment many times and wondered why I let that one act change everything I didn't care if he had an affair with my wife she was nothing to me she was already someone I no longer respected he could even take my dinner I'd go out instead and spend the weekend with my children but the slap was the last straw I sat in a chair and I planned I listened to their first round and I'm sure they
were deliberate in their groans and screams it was all for my benefit and presumed humiliation I continued to plan as the sun went down I had a bat by the door for it would be Swift and quiet they started in on round two unsatisfied by my lack of response they were even louder I refined my plans I had plastic sheets from the garage that I used for painting clothes and old cloth sheets that I used to absorb the small splatters of paint I knew I could be almost guaranteed secrecy tonight the moon was down and
the sky was overcast without Starlight and if I kept the house lights off I could work in the dark with a shovel from the garage and the lovers suitably distracted I removed the sod taking care to keep it as intact as possible then I dug through the Earth and opened the septic tank round three started well after midnight with the sound of their exaggerated passions masking my efforts I got the bat by the door and tested my overhead swing so as not to strike the ceiling when I was ready I made my way up the
stairs and down the hall to her bedroom without warning I struck him in the back of the head slamming his head into hers he was out and she was moaning a very different tune from just seconds ago a second overhead swing and she was quiet I was lucky I had not cracked their skulls but had just knocked them unconscious I bound their hands and feet with zip ties although they never regained Consciousness as I worked quickly to complete my task I was committed now one at a at a time I carried them outside I took
him first with his head hanging over the open tank I ended his life and slipped him into the filth with more of a thud than a splash she was second and for a moment I hesitated my mind was a wash with memories of the woman I fell in love with of dating and the night I proposed I remembered standing together before God and family as we took our vows and then I ended her life and cast her into the darkness with her love last I dropped the knife into the tank rather than risk not being
able to clean the blood from the hinge or the blade I closed the tank shoveled the dirt over the lid and placed the sod with care until the ground appeared as it had before I didn't trust my shirt to be clean of blood so I burned it in the fire pit out back I showered washed my clothes and dressed with the dirty business behind me I took a flashlight and began to examine every inch of the bed hallway and stairs weeks later I would remember that shovel and the messy business of ending their lives you
always forget something I found Blood on the handle so I burned the wood and washed the steel in Bleach before I threw it in the dump I had one more task to perform before the sun came up I got his keys and drove his car to the worst part of town and I left it there I walked back and threw the keys into the sewer one at a time time starting about a mile from where I left the car it was a long walk on a dark night but I went unnoticed I was after all
just another man on a street of Faceless Men when the sun came up I went over the house again I was lucky I was very lucky if I had cracked their skulls I would probably never have gotten the house clean again as it was I never used the plastic sheets my parents brought the kids home Sunday evening in time for me to prepare dinner for 5 what was it why it was cheeseburgers and root beer floats of course my mother commented on my good mood and I simply said I had a free weekend and now
my sweethearts are home my mother asked when is she getting home hell if I know hell if I care that was all I said and all that she needed on Monday I called in sick and took boxes of her clothes to Goodwill shops in several neighboring towns I tossed her Cosmetics at the public dump inside a bag of kitchen trash and her jewelry inside another bag that last bit was hard to do but I figured that is where I could slip up besides I'd stopped giving her jewelry a long time ago and what I tossed
was just more evidence of her many betrayals I figured it would be a few days before her employer called to ask about her absence it was 2 I told them that I hadn't heard from her then I took the one gift she'd left me which was the truth and I went to the police station to fill out a missing person's report when they questioned me about why I waited so long I told them the sad story of my wife's long-standing betrayal and how I figured she was just off with her latest distraction I told them
that I hadn't been alarmed until her employer called me they asked me the name of her current boyfriend and I just stared at them I projected my best version of you must be a lot dumber and finally said do you really think that I want to know his name I decided a long time ago that she had her life and I have mine and I will divorce the Unfaithful woman when my children are grown I guess they accepted my answer two weeks later they came to my door and told me that the best they could
figure she ran off with her latest fling I just nodded said good riddance and ended our brief discussion with if you do find her could you warn me they seemed to appreciate the joke and I never saw them again that was 5 years ago and they've been five of the best years of my life I waited a year and got a divorce claiming abandonment the kids asked a few times about their mother but they seemed content that she was gone and never cried a tear yes I will admit that every time I have the tank
sucked I worry a little but I guess the flesh rots and the bones stay on the bottom I do say a little prayer of thanks that they were naked when I disposed of them the last thing I need is to have a shirt or a pair of pants come up and clog that truck's pump I'd have a hard time explaining that unless of course the truck's owner is divorced now if you will excuse me I need to use the toilet never have I enjoyed the bathroom as much as I do now and when I flush
the toilet I picture my gift flowing down the pipe and into the final resting place of my cheating wife and her last distraction and that's the end of today's story if you enjoyed it please give this video a thumbs up and drop a comment below your support helps the algorithm push my content further if you're new to the channel don't forget to hit that subscribe button it really helps me keep creating more stories for you thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one
