I Was Stunned When My CHEATING Wife Returned From Her Lover, Took A Shower, And Announced, "Darling

Unfortunately there are people who do terrible things and think they can get away with it but they don't sooner or later they will be caught my wife had an impeccable Alibi and generally gave no reason for jealousy however as soon as I noticed one strange detail a puzzle formed in my head small details can often indicate problems in a marriage the first sign appeared when I noticed that the hair on The back of her neck was damp I usually didn't pay much attention to this area but when she slipped into bed I wanted to hug

her when I reached for her my hand accidentally touched the moisture and I couldn't help thinking what is this that evening she had been at one of her monthly extended Library board meetings and I stayed up looking forward to her return hoping that we could have a pleasant evening it had been a week since our last intimate moment but that Evening I realized there was clearly something wrong with my wife and she was hiding something my wife went by the name Mona at 28 she wasn't conventionally stunning but her remarkable physique compensated for any lack

of facial attractiveness I adored her she was intelligent had a great sense of humor and I believed I could rely on her implicitly she worked as an environmental biologist for the state's Environmental Protection Department my name is Jim 30 years old a civil engineer employed by a consulting firm together we we earned well and purchased a Charming three-bedroom Bungalow in the suburbs a year ago we met through our professional roles and immediately clicked after dating for 6 months during which we enjoyed a passionate physical relationship we got engaged a few months later we exchanged vows

in a church ceremony pledging Fidelity respect and Trust before God we were both committed to building a family together a week before Mona had stopped taking birth control pills as it was her most fertile period a year ago when we moved into our house Mona became friends with a neighbor named Sally who was actively involved in local events Sally a single divorced woman about the same age as Mona quickly found common ground with her they often went shopping and to the cinema together I didn't mind when My wife went out with our neighbor because I

was sure that everything was fine Sally introduced Mona to the local library board which initially held short monthly meetings however a couple of months ago the meetings suddenly became longer taking place twice a month and Lasting 4 hours each time Mona explained that they were working on implementing a new computer system in the library to make it more interactive and because she was Good with computers she was asked to collaborate with the head librarian after meetings to determine criteria for the system this explanation seemed reasonable to me so I didn't attach much importance to to

it however I noticed that after the first lengthy board meeting Mona was noticeably tense and distracted when I asked she mentioned that it was difficult to work with the head librarian and that he required special treatment but again it didn't Bother me much and now back to her hair why was it a little wet that night judging by the humidity she was either sweating or had taken a shower somewhere why would she sweat or need a shower when she was supposedly a meeting I knew she hadn't showered or washed when she got home because I

was awake and waiting for her sniffing I smelled another soap not the one she usually uses where could she have taken a shower at a Motel my suspicious mood deepened just as she started to pull away not today honey I'm too tired the meeting was long I'm exhausted and tomorrow we both have to go to work she said all right honey get some rest I answered after that she moved to her side of the bed turning away from me and quickly falling asleep it seemed strange to me that she didn't want intimacy because we were

kind of planning and ready to create a full-fledged Family we wanted to have a child however I remembered her habit of avoiding intimacy after Library meetings citing fatigue this reinforced my suspicions maybe she didn't want want me to discover something that could give away her infidelity why did I think that she would cheat on me because I had no other justification for her behavior we had been discussing the idea of starting a family after 5 years of marriage we Decided to postpone Parenthood until we were financially stable enough for my wife to stop working recently

I was promoted and we felt it was the right time to try for a baby so she stopped taking the pill a week ago however I couldn't shake off a nagging concern what if things didn't work out between us and I ended up responsible for child support I needed to carefully consider my options I lay awake for a long time pondering what to do next the first Immediate decision was to postpone intimacy with her but how could I do that without arousing suspicion it was a difficult dilemma presenting her with minimal evidence of infidelity would

most likely lead to denial and I would be in a vulnerable position position I needed to protect myself as much as possible I needed more concrete evidence which meant I had to buy time before we got close again on the other hand if there was a chance that she could get Pregnant by someone else tonight she might insist on intimacy this weekend to hide it it was a difficult situation that required a careful approach after carefully considering all the options I finally settled on a plan of action that seemed promising if she was really intimate

with him tonight then most likely soon after that she would want intimacy with me to ensure the conception period was covered I had to be away for at least a week or more Planning a business trip seemed to me the most appropriate way to assess her reaction although I didn't travel often for work when I did it usually lasted about a week which could fit any scheme I developed now what other information did I require ah yes who was her Paramore how long had their Affair been ongoing where did they rendevu if their encounters coincided

solely with Library board meeting nights It could imply that her lover was a fellow member of the board I had to investigate a few things so I quietly left the bed and went downstairs where I located her purse it was the repository for all her valuable belongings and seemed like a promising place to search for Clues while examining her credit cards I came across one bearing her m name Mona Spencer it belonged to a bank we weren't affiliated with prompting me to wonder why she possessed it I had Assumed she had disposed of all her

pre-marriage cards but evidently she had held on to one delving deeper I discovered a hidden Pocket containing a business card belonging to Derek Matthews the head librarian at our local library crap the head librarian was male she had led me to believe otherwise damn her I examined the call logs on her cell phone and noticed derk's number appearing frequently indicating ongoing communication between Them it seemed to have been happening for some time there were no instant messages suggesting they communicated verbally nonetheless I returned everything to her purse and checked our computer for messages I discovered

she had an encrypted email folder but I possessed enough knowledge to bypass her security measures and uncovered a substantial collection of messages exchanged between them dating back to when she began Attending late meetings with him these messages revealed that they had been rending at the Red Roof in near the interstate Junction some of their exchanges were explicit indicating they had engaged in activities she had never participated in with me I grew increasingly angry in one email they disparaged both me and his wife although they claimed to love us the more I read the angrier I

became I copied all their emails to my own folder with the Intention of printing them later then proceeded upstairs to one of the spare bedrooms where my clothes were stored in the closet this left the walk-in closet in the master bedroom for her belongings I retrieved my suitcase and garment bag and began packing for an apparent business trip at 5:30 a.m. I prepared for my journey and entered our bedroom Mona still groggy set up why are you awake so early Jim and why are you dressed I have a flight to catch darling I didn't have

a chance to tell you last night but I need to leave around 7 work called me last night they need someone to quickly survey some of our out-of-date projects I'll grab something to eat at the airport so don't worry about breakfast she gazed at me trying to comprehend what I had just said all right sweetheart how can I reach you if I need to she asked y just call me on my cell phone goodbye Darling I gave her a peck on the cheek and hurried downstairs with my bags suddenly there was a thud behind me

followed by the sound of hurried footsteps she appeared at the top of the stairs and called out Jim Jim what about starting a family we plan to discuss it this weekend we'll have to postpone it until next month darling I'll give you a call once I reach my first destination as I opened the garage door and got into my car I heard a loud SOB From behind me I was already driving down the street before she could say anything more after ensuring my cell phone was switched off I headed towards the interstate 2 hours later

I reached my father's retirement home situated by a lake in the remote Countryside dad a widower who lived alone wasn't expecting me but he promptly began preparing breakfast for us while sipping his strong warning coffee I shared the troubling news about Mona dad who had always longed for a daughter and saw Mona as feeling that role was deeply saddened by her betrayal and couldn't fathom her actions son I'm at a loss for words your mother and I had a strong relationship and to my knowledge she never strayed you'll have to navigate this situation carefully without

rushing into any decisions he advised I understand dad tomorrow I'll return to the city to consult with my lawyer Ed wiltz I need To understand my legal options I replied Ed is trustworthy we've relied on him for years dad reassured me all right Dad your coffee is as great as ever and your omelets are unbeatable I complimented well if you ever find yourself cooking your own meals you'll have the chance to perfect your skills he joked got it I Chuck in response around 9:00 in the morning I phoned my office and spoke to my boss

we Agreed that if Mona called looking for me he would simply say that I was on the road and they reached me on my cell phone he even instructed the receptionist to provide the same story to anyone who called I also requested a week's vacation which he approved when I checked my messages I saw that Mona had tried to call me for times asking me to call her back as soon as as possible I decided to let her wait a bit so I waited until around noon to call her at Work she seemed a bit

stressed when she asked about my whereabouts where are you honey is it possible for me to fly out and spend the weekend with you I'm sorry sweetheart I'm leaving tomorrow and I'm not sure when I'll have a place to stay for a while let's make plans for sure next month got to go now the guys are calling for me after hearing her say I love you I ended the call my dad who had overheard simply shook his head the Following day I phoned and scheduled an appointment with Ed wils the next day I drove back

to town for my appointment it's great to see you Jim so what brings you in today Ed asked my wife is cheated on me with another man and I need to understand my legal recourse for the next 30 minutes we deliberated on the most feasible courses of action and he suggested that if I desired a divorce the easiest route would be to file on the grounds of Irreconcilable differences pursuing a divorce based on adultery would entail the burden of proof falling on me and obtaining evidence that would hold up in court would be very costly

with no children in the picture and considering that my wife was a well-compensated professional the financial aspect of the divorce would likely result in a straightforward 50-50 division of assets I inquired about the possibility of her being pregnant by the Other man and was relieved to learn that I wouldn't be liable for child support I expressed gratitude for his guidance and assured him I would inform him of my decision in a few days after meeting with Ed I went to the main library and wandered until I spotted an office door labeled head librarian grabbing a

magazine I settled where I could discreetly observe the door after about 30 minutes a man around my age emerged Ed he was unremarkable in Appearance blending into a crowd effortlessly I pondered why she would jeopardize our marriage for an affair with him having glimpsed the Rival I departed and made my way to a nearby electronic store purchasing a pricey voice activated recording device next I checked into the Red Roof in where they had been meeting securing a room for the night with time to kill I slipped back home to check our PC their recent emails

hinted at her anxiety over A possible pregnancy from their last encounter as we hadn't been intimate to cover her betrayal they feared he could be implicated for any resulting child it was satisfying to see their concern I copied the messages to my records and left after dinner I went back to my motel room and watched TV for a while in the end I turned it off and lay down on the bed absorbed in thinking about why she did this to our marriage as far as I knew we had a war War relationship and We were

planning a wonderful future together including children and retirement however she decided to give it all up Although our sex life was satisfactory it did not have the spark that it had in the first years of our life together her reaction to my business trip suggested that she was pregnant by her lover her decision to give him preference as the potential father of her child made me question whether she had deep feelings for him or Whether there was a darker more complex aspect of her personality akin to Jackal and Hyde thinking about our life together I

couldn't help feeling sad and regretful about the 5 years we spent together which now seemed to have been wasted although we had moments of Happiness the pain of our current situation overshadowed it all I think I've come to understand that even if she hadn't gotten pregnant by him I couldn't forgive her divorce seemed like the only Option but I knew I'd have to confront her first and I wasn't looking forward to it around 2:00 I called home on my cell phone and spoke to her she sounded like she had been crying so I asked her

what was wrong you don't sound well sweetheart are you sick oh Jim I just want you home well I'll try to wrap things up quickly hang in there why don't you go talk to Sally I'm sure she can cheer you up I had a feeling that Sally might be involved in My wife's infidelity so I had nothing to lose if they spent time together now okay honey come home soon I love you I will sweetheart bye I hope she noticed that I didn't say I love you when I hung up that night at 11:00 I

went to the motel office and encountered a young man working alone I was relieved it was him on duty as a female clerk might have been unwilling to assist me after some casual conversation I broached the topic And and offered him $100 for assistance recognizing his likely modest pay I hoped the offer would motivate him to provide me with a record of the times my wife and Derek had met at the motel he agreed to look into the motel records and I provided him with my wife's maiden name and the suspected start date of their

meetings I surmised they might be using the credit card under her maiden name which I found in her purse to avoid detection he assured me he would work on It overnight and have the list Ready for Me by morning I went to bed feeling low and had a Restless night's sleep I arrived at the office early and my contact already had my list prepared confirming my expectations they checked in after the library meetings when I showed him a photo of my wife he recalled her because she had registered using her credit card he mentioned that

they typically only occupied the room for about an hour Before departing in separate cars he noted that this was typical of the numerous nous Unfaithful spouses he had encountered after breakfast I returned to my father's house the remainder of the week was spent fishing and on Thursday I founded Ed woltz to request the initiation of the divorce proceedings he assured me that he would have the papers ready in a few days each evening I continued to fa home pretending to be in a different city Thus giving Mona the impression I was away she seemed increasingly

desponded with each call evoking a sense of pity within me yet I remained Resolute in my determination not to release her from accountability my desire for Revenge was palpable though tinged with a sense of bitterness I returned home Friday afternoon while she was still at work based on their recent emails it seemed the affair was winding down the fear of her pregnancy had greatly affected their Relationship it appeared I wouldn't require the tape recorder anymore so I could return it and reclaim my money I had evidence of her infidelity regardless I started printing two copies

of their email exchanges I felt Derrick's wife deserved to see the documentation of their Affair my next choice would be whether to confront Mona immediately or wait until she confirmed she was pregnant when Mona returned from work she hugged me tightly Tears streaming down her face oh Jim I've missed you so much she said my God darling what happened is the sink clogged up again I replied jokingly no I realized how much I love you and miss you when you left after we eat I want to get you into bed and do what we've been

planning for so long if that's what you want maybe I should leave more often no no I don't want you to leave me again all right honey let's have dinner together and then go to our Bedroom to indulge in mutual intimacy it sounds like a plan she said smiling through her tears God I felt like such a fool I suggested we go somewhere so we went to the nearest restaurant had a quick snack and went home when we went upstairs to our bedroom she was running there at the speed of light when I joined her

she was already lying on the bed hurry up dear I'm already completely ready I couldn't help but think I'm sure you're ready While leisurely folding my clothes looking at her I realized that I would miss her but I wasn't going to let anyone else have her she had always been exclusively mine and I thought that she remained like that until now unfortunately this was no longer the case I knew that time was running out and soon she would no longer legally belong to me almost reverently I bent down and kissed her lightly on the lips

then she took the initiative and what She began to do was well described in her emails with her lover she obviously wanted to appease me I decided to stop her and do probably the most terrible thing I wanted to bring it to a climax and interrupt everything a couple of seconds before the end yes I know I'm not the most original person but I thought it was funny and appropriate for the moment oh dear you're great at this no one can compare to you she said when I first started I couldn't help but Wonder how

many other people she was comparing me to her compliments did not give me any pleasure I couldn't get it out of my head that she had been cheating on me for months and I was in the dark I understood that she wanted us to have a baby that night but I knew that this would not happen in the end whether she was pregnant or not didn't seem to matter anymore it was over so I could have told her that I sat on the edge of the bed and interrupted her at The very last moment hey

what are you doing what happened she howled Mona we need to talk the reason I stopped all this is because I can't stop imagining you with Derek I heard her take a sharp breath and when I turned to face her she looked at me with an expression of horror on her face it's over Mona I'm going to file for divorce she suddenly jumped up and rushed into the bathroom throwing up I heard it all very well when the world Around her collapsed eventually she stopped and tears began to flow from her eyes I got up

and looked into the bathroom she was lying next to the toilet with her head in her hands I left her there and went to another bathroom down the hall where I took a shower and then went to the guest room to get dressed downstairs I poured myself a drink and waited for her to join me most likely she would try to save something from the Ruins of our marriage perhaps even Tred to dissuade me from divorcing her but I was sure that everything was over seated in the dimly lit room illuminated only by the glow

emanating from the kitchen I sipped my drink and contemplated the direction of my life despite my youth and the potential to build the family I yearned for and despite the upward trajectory of my career a sense of despondency lingered the sensation of sobbing from the bathroom signaled her Transition into denial and I anticipated her eventual descent downstairs sometime later I heard her coming down the stairs and saw her enter the living room dressed in a bathrobe she sat down opposite me I reached out and turned on the light are you ready to discuss this now

are you ready to explain why you did this yes she murmured to be honest I do not know why the first time we did this I swore I wouldn't do it again we started meeting For a drink after our Gatherings and you know what happens to me after a few drinks it seemed so tempting and sophisticated and it got easier every time I think hearing Sally describe what it's like to cheat on your ex-husband made me curious to try it I should have realized that sooner or later this would happen to me since she had

been divorced for a long time and I like a naive fool did not stop why did you do it the first time was there anything in our previous Conversations where we discussed Mutual loyalty trust and respect before we got married that you didn't understand or was there something in our wedding vows in which we prom proed to leave everyone else that you couldn't understand or didn't agree with if you couldn't understand or disagreed with something why didn't you tell me about it I've invested 5 years of my life in you and now I have to

look for another spouse I hope I can find someone who understands The importance of marital Fidelity oh Jim can't we find a way to overcome this I love you I don't want you to leave me I want to have children with you please honey let's get one thing straight you no longer have the privilege to address me with tenderness you lost this privilege the moment you found yourself in the same bed with him do you understand I was becoming increasingly frustrated with her demeanor despite the impending Divorce she remained in denial but I made a

conscious effort to maintain my composure and take the moral High Ground regarding children when do you anticipate finding out if you're pregnant it was the the second instance that night where her complexion drained and she stared at me in disbelief as if she couldn't comprehend what she had just heard oh my God you know she exclaimed yes I'm aware Mona you might wonder why I fabricated that business Trip it was to make you feel some pain that's the main reason I'm pursuing a divorce you intentionally sought to conceive a child with your lover you were

hoping that I would go to bed with you after a day had passed since you got pregnant by him and then you wanted me to take responsibility for your Lover's child well that's not going to happen What You attempted is one of the most disloyal acts a wife can commit against her husband it showed a complete lack of Respect for me I can never forgive you for that no matter what even if you hadn't done that I might have considered forgiveness if it had been a one-time occurrence but you persisted you became addicted to infidelity

and no no amount of therapy even over 20 years can restore my trust in you now do you have anything to say to justify your actions no she replied tears streaming down her face I'm so sorry that's all settled then I've started the process With Ed wiltz to prepare divorce papers they should be ready by Monday we'll divide our assets evenly 50/50 and there won't be any alimony even if you're pregnant I won't be providing child support it won't be my child are you okay with this agreement it seems acceptable I'll consult with a lawyer

before I agree but it seems acceptable she said tearfully very well I'll sleep in the spare room until we formally separate in The meantime I'll search for an apartment you can stay here and see your lovers once I'm gone it's over between Derek and me I gathered that from your emails it's a shame you didn't end things sooner oh God you've read our emails yes and I've replicated those messages to bring to your Lover's wife tomorrow along with dates and times of your meetings at the Red Roof in I believe she'll have some words for

Derek Once she's reviewed them according to the motel records you met their 13 times you also used a credit card under your maiden name it seems you help on to it from before our marriage perhaps in anticipation of betraying me someday it makes me wonder how many others there were before Derek his wife deserves to know he could potentially face child support payments if you're pregnant it will be your decision whether you pursue that I suppose you couldn't keep him out Of this he has children I don't think he should Escape consequences just because he

has children I may still consider filing an alienation of affection lawsuit against him please don't do that she had come to terms with the divorce now her tears had ceased and she was starting to think logically we'll see is that all no tomorrow I'll go over and explain everything to your parents and your brother I don't want you feeding them Some fabricated story that blames me for everything they deserve to know the truth about their daughter and if you're pregnant I'll find a way to inform your colleagues and our friends about what you've done to

me oh God she burst into tears once more I stood up and went upstairs to bed the following morning I woke up early and left the house before she woke up taking a copy of the emails and motel dat with me she had been crying most of the night and must be Exhausted now I grabbed breakfast at IHOP since I anticipated dining out more often from now on I figured I might as well start getting used to it leisurely sipping my coffee I waited until 7:30 and then made my way to Mona's parents place knowing

they were early risers I didn't think arriving early would inconvenience them as I knocked on the kitchen door I saw they were having breakfast and Mona's dad waved me in upon recognizing me stepping inside they Gestured to an empty chair at the table while Mona's mother poured me a cup of coffee why are you here so early Jim would you like some some breakfast no no breakfast I've already eaten an IHOP and I have some difficult news that I thought you should hear directly from me difficult news I'm going to divorce Mona Mona's mother let

out a loud crash as she dropped the coffee cup she was holding onto the tile floor shattering It divorce Mona exclaimed stunned Jim are you serious we were planning to start a family I've discovered she's been having an affair for the past few months and she might already be pregnant by her lover I explained solemnly Simon Mona's younger brother entered the kitchen startled by the noise of the coffee cup hitting the floor just in time to catch my Revelation oh damn Simon exclaimed Joining the shock stairs directed at me as if I had just announced

the end of the world questions flew from all sides are you certain this can't be happening where is she can't you work through this who is the other man I did my best to answer their barage of inquiries yes I'm certain I possess emails and motel records to corroborate it and she confessed to it to the best of my knowledge she's currently at home unless she sought Solace at her friend Sally's place I don't see any way around this I'm convinced she attempted to conceive a child with him and pass it off his mine that's

unforgivable for any husband her Paramore is Derek Matthews the head librarian he's married as well and I've heard he has children Mona's mother sprang up and dashed to the phone I'm dialing her right away I can't believe that my daughter could behave so terribly I hope you do I replied she's Going to need both support and reproach because I don't think she comprehends the gravity of her actions she's not just shattered our marriage but likely his as well Mona must have still been at home because I heard her mother begin to question her as I

got up Mona's father took my hand tears streaming down his face and apologized profusely I had a great fondness for her parents and brother and it pained me to burden them with this news but there was No way to soften the blow I departed feeling saddened by the devastation this would cause so many people I had learned where Derek Matthews lived and proceeded to his residence parking on the street in front of their modest Bungalow I approached the front door with a packet of data and rang the bell Derek answered the door tears evident on

his cheeks as he looked at me may I assist you I wish to speak with your wife and give her something Mr Matthews I'm sorry my wife isn't available please give it to me and I'll make sure she receives it Mr Matthews I'm aware that Mona has informed you of my arrival there's no way you can prevent me from delivering this information to your wife or speaking with her I advise you to allow her to come to the door or I'll proceed with legal action against you for alienation of affection after a moment of hesitation

he turned away and called out Marge there's someone here to see you then addressing me he said you scoundrel no Mr Matthews you're the one at fault for having an affair with my wife and attempting to impregnate her you've shattered my marriage and I aim to do the same to yours with a sigh he turned away from the door as his wife approached yes she inquired clearly puzzled by her husband's distressed State and my evident agitation Mrs Matthews I have some Unfortunate news to share with you your husband has been involved in a relationship with

my wife for the past few months and I'm in the process of divorcing her I have evidence of their Affair including copies of emails exchanged between them as well as a list detailing the dates and times they met at the motel as I delivered the news I witnessed a sudden expression of shock wash over her face as she tried to comprehend my words oh my God are you Certain you can ask your husband Mrs Matthews he's right behind you she turned to face him and he immediately broke down in tears I'm sorry Marge I'm so

sorry her complexion turned pale as she turned back to me and I couldn't help but express my own regret I'm sorry too Mrs Matthews that we ended up marrying such disappointing Partners I'm also sorry for you and your children you should be aware that my wife might be pregnant with your husband's child I Suppose we won't address that until it becomes a reality passing her the parcel I informed her she was free to do as she pleased with it before departing the sight of her looking dazed and sorrowful nearly broke my heart I longed for

a means to protect her from such anguish having accomplished my task I made my way home upon arrival I noticed Mona's absence but I didn't bother about her whereabouts not long ago I couldn't shake the feeling of incompleteness Without her presence or Assurance of her safety now I felt indifferent I changed into different attire and began mowing the lawn Mona despite the objections of her family decided to terminate the pregnancy which led to her significant estrangement from them my divorce has been finalized according to my initial suggestion leaving me single and in search of a

new spouse having been betrayed by someone I once trusted implicitly I'm grappling With determining the new criteria for selecting a partner I've started therapy and delved into research on psychological ethics unsure if it will provide any guidance but remaining hopeful as I continue my search I had another opportunity to seek retribution against Mona's 2 years post our divorce I learned of her engagement and discovered the identity of her fiance after sharing with him my experiences during our marriage he Withdrew from the engagement it was a minor Triumph and I have mutual acquaintances who will inform

me if she attempts another engagement although the Matthews remained married I've heard she exerts tight control over him I suppose the presence of children can outweigh the desire to dissolve a family I'm relieved to have learned about Mona before we began our own family story two our usual group of four couples was having the Normal once a month party it started as a laid-back afternoon and we normally partied well into the evening we were having a good time having a few drinks and telling all kinds of wild stories it was my wife Judy and me

Ray stebler my sister Pat and her husband Bruce Vince Nancy and Jim saver and Jill and Wayne bissler Pat Nancy and Jill all worked with my wife at Conor construction a well-known Regional construction firm specializing in public buildings schools And churches Pat had introduced me to Judy for years ago and after a short courtship we became a couple 3 years ago we had gotten married I thought we had a very good marriage and I loved her with all my heart feeling she reciprocated as I said the stories were flying hot and heavy and the drinks

were being poured strong and often it wasn't too long before a couple of us were feeling no pain at all Jill was pretty drunk by This time and was going on and on about how she had gone on a date with a guy named Jamie and got caught by her boyfriend Phillip Phillip was pissed so of course that ended that relationship but she continued to date James sometime later she met and dated Wayne and eventually married him my wife Judy piped up wow Jill that had to be really awkward I never had any experiences like

that getting caught doing something I shouldn't have been Doing Jill in her drunken State responded are you kidding me Judy you almost got caught with Carl's baby in your belly after you ducked him for that whole week two years ago while Ray was gone everyone in the room was shocked by that comment and I heard Judy gasp and then Wayne said Jill why don't you just shut up I was clearly in shock at that comment and jumped up saying what the heck the next thing I knew I was laying on the floor I apparently had

been Unconscious for a couple of minutes and was just starting to come out of it I found out later what had happened to me I had what is called a vasovagal response having to do with the Vagas nerve it comes about as a result of stress sudden onset of extreme emotions and standing up too quickly there are other Tri triggers as well and one of the most recognizable is witnessing medical procedures that is what causes soldiers To pass out while standing in lying waiting to receive their shots in that circumstance even watching another man pass

out can cause one to pass out anyway I was stressed had an extreme emotional event and stood up too quickly and there I was lying on the floor they were taking care of me and as I slowly started to come out of it I overheard some of them talking Jill why did you have to say that I just don't know Judy I had too much to drink and I am so Sorry I never wanted to do anything to hurt you and Ray I am so sorry I decided to play at cool for a couple of

minutes to see what else I might learn my sister Pat said well the cat is out of the bag now and we just have to pass this off as drunken Babble on your part all of the others agreed and said we don't even know if you will remember what was said so just play it cool and let's see if we can get past this if he does remember we will just say Jill was drunk and stupid Agreed I was finally feeling better and set up I knew I needed to relax for a few minutes so

I just sat there and didn't say a word I spent that time thinking about what Jill had said and figuring out what had gone on when I was pretty sure I was going to be okay I slowly got to my feet and straightened myself out everyone was looking at me with questioning looks I just played it cool for a minute while gradually working my Way toward the door Judy asked me baby are you all right I looked at her and then glanced at everyone else in the room no Judy I am not all right I

just found out that my wife is a cheating I just found out that she slept with Carl Jackson for a whole week probably while I was away at Air National Guard training two years ago I just found out that you were pregnant with his baby I know now that you didn't have a miscarriage like you told me so No I am not all right I could see the tears streaming down Judy's face but at the moment I had not a speck of sympathy for her what's more I just found out that all of you including

my own loving sister knew about it and no one bothered to tell me no I am not all right I am getting out of here don't any of you follow me don't talk to me and don't call me all of you just stay away from me I had to get away so I got into my truck and drove I knew that I had to be Alone for a while and think this all through my truck was a bright red Ford F-150 with a ton of chrome so I knew if I continued to use it I

couldn't stay hidden from their prying eyes for long my friend Jack lived on a farm about 20 mi out of town and he had a large Machine Shed that I could put my truck in I knew knew he would be there for me so I drove out there I let him know that I was having some problems with Judy and he agreed to help me out we parked my Truck in the shed and Jack gave me a ride back into town and dropped me off at the hers rental facility next to the airport I rented

a nondescript Chevrolet in paa for a couple of weeks I figured by then I would have made decisions for the rest of my life and wouldn't need to be gone anymore I checked into a decent hotel the Courtyard by Marriott on the skirts of town with a lounge and restaurant I had enough to drink earlier and I didn't want to be any more Impaired than I already was I sat around thinking about what had happened and some things gradually became clearer to me it took a while but soon I think I knew exactly what had

happened two years ago at Judy's Christmas party Tanya Jackson had come on to me she settled up to me and said Ray you are one hot guy how would you feel about giving me a go I was shocked but truthfully flattered too Tanya is a very hot woman with beautiful auburn hair and a body that Would inflame desire in any man if I was willing to have an affair I could see she would be a lot of woman to handle I kind of figured she was pretty drunk and really didn't mean it but I was

flattered nonetheless I told her however Tanya you certainly are beautiful and sexy as can be but I am not a free agent sorry I just won't do that to Judy she smiled at me and said oh well I tried when you are ready for me just Give me a call I was a little confused by that comment but just let it slide and got back into the party I must confess it made my night though and didn't hurt Judy's night too much either when I was extra attentive in bed later in a repeat at this

past Year's Christmas party Tanya came to me again are you a free agent yet Ray baby I sure would like have shouted you I let my ego get stroke for a minute but I told her you know Tanya this is Getting old I told you I wouldn't do that to Judy and I would appreciate it if you didn't do this again Tanya said well that is too bad Ry because I think you and I would have a great time together I won't bother you again but when you are ready just call now I realized that

Tanya knew all along that Carl had slept with Judy and she was trying to get even with him I decided to call her to talk after I had thought things through I looked up Carl Jackson's phone number and made the call fortunately Tanya answered the phone and not Carl Tanya this is Ray stebler I am ready to talk if you can get away I would like to meet in the lounge at the Marriot Hotel she told me that she would be there in 30 minutes great I will be waiting there for you right on time

Tanya walked into the lounge and every eye in the place place was on her she was as beautiful as I remembered from the Christmas party she had on a modest But very attractive dress and her long auburn hair hung down her back I think everyone in the lounge turned to look at her as she walked up to me at the bar I gave her a gentle hug and we took a booth in the back of the room because I wanted a bit of privacy with what I wanted to talk to her about Tanya I called

you to talk and I'm pretty sure you know the reason just tell me straight out did you or did you not know about Carl sleeping with my wife Judy She got a mischievous smile on her face and said Ray of course I knew about it why do you think I wanted to play around a bit with you I wanted to have fun with you and I still want to do that well I just became aware of that little dance today Tanya and I am not certain you and I playing around as you call it would

be in our best interest at this time but I really do want to know everything you know about the situation I know that they did have sex because I Actually caught them in my house I was supposed to be spending some time with my mother but decided to come home early I caught them playing in my bed Ray they didn't know that I saw them because I left and went to stay with a friend of mine for the night I didn't want to confront them together until I had time to think things through I figured

a night with my friend would let me clear my mind if you need to verify that I will give you her name and telephone Number anyway when I came home the next day I confronted Carl about having an affair at the time I didn't know the woman's name and Carl tried to lie his way out of the whole thing but I told him I actually saw him and no matter how many lies he told me they weren't going to get him out of it this time I asked what do you mean this time I suspected

that he had had other Affairs but had been able to lie his way out of them in the past I never had proof before but Now I did I was confused but asked if you caught him with my wife and suspected him in other Affairs why are you still with him I can't help it Ry I love him we sat down and I told him I was going to divorce him unless he confessed everything to me unless he promised me that he would never cheat on me again unless he promised me he would agree to

let me get my revenge with you without a word we went to a lawyer and he wrote it All up for us and Carl signed it if he goes back on his word I get everything in a divorce he confessed everything about his numerous Affairs every little detail who when where and how many times he was pretty detailed Ray so I think I know it all he did promise to never cheat on me again if I would stay with him and he did promise that I could get my revenge without any comments or repercussions I

smiled at her and told her truthfully I am not ready to be your Ducking Revenge man just yet Tanya not until you tell tell me every gory detail you know I want to know everything over the next 2 hours Tanya filled me in on everything I wanted to know about Judy and Carl's Affair it started with flirting and downright Pursuit on Carl's part and eventually with Judy's curiosity about a man and me being at Air National Guard camp for a full week she gave into his advances and spent hours with him every day while I

was Gone as far as Tanya knew Judy never knew that she and Carl had been caught dead to by her she told me what she knew of the other Affairs and when she had finished with that subject I think I knew as much about Carl's Affairs as he did by the time we were done I had made some decisions about what I was going to do about Judy and what I wanted to do about Tanya I asked her Tanya I am going to get away from here for a few days will your revenge allow you

to accompany Me she actually grinned at me as far as I am concerned yes but I will have to tell Carl and I'm am not sure he would agree it seems to me from what you have said that he can't say no but tell him this either he agrees to let you go away with me on a little trip for let's say a week or sometime in the near future I am going to kick out of him and fix him so he never Ducks you or another wife of some other poor ever again that ought

to motivate his decision I would think Laughingly she replied I would think come up to my room for a few minutes then while I make the arrangement with that we walked out of the lounge and took the elevator up to my floor and walked down the hall to my room once inside I took Tanya's hand and led her over to the sofa before I let her sit down I pulled her close to me and kissed her I said if we are going to be flying off to Vegas for a week I should at least have

a sample of what I hope to be Getting there she squealed Vegas you are going to take a little trip to Las Vegas with me I don't care what Carl says I am going with you I have never been to Las Vegas and I have always wanted to go okay then let me make a couple of calls and then I will send you home to inform Carl and do a bit of like packing I turned on my cell phone and saw several messages from Judy which I deleted without listening to them and I saw one

message from my sister Pat I decided to Return that one immediately so I hit the redial number for that call when she answered I didn't give her a chance to talk when I simply said Pat I thought I made myself perfectly clear when I said no one and that includes my traitor's sister should call me I said no calls believe me when I tell you one last time all of you leave me alone then I hung up I went to my contact list and dialed up Vince Amato his real name is Vincenzo but he had

pretty much Americanized it To make it simpler for himself he and I were best friends in high school and college and we still got together a couple of times a year I think our friendship will last a lifetime when he answered I said venzo if you say yes I will think you are the best casino host in Las Vegas but if you say no I will keep on thinking you were the biggest horse's ass do you have a room available for me starting tomorrow night can you make that happen which is It going to be

yes or no response was as usual assuming this is the biggest former friend of mine who should consider himself lucky if I ever even talk to him again would I ever give you a room I might put you up in a broom closet however the bagio hotel and casino would be delighted to give you a room for a few days are you coming out alone or will you have that adorable wife of yours With You Vince My adorable wife isn't so adorable to me anymore so She isn't coming with me but I will not be

alone home I think it might be best if you can arrange for a room with two beds just to be on the safe side we are both married to the two who cheated together and we may or may not get to use her terms Revenge at any rate two beds would be nice I am sorry to hear about you and Judy but I will arrange everything and text you with the reservation information and so forth is there anything else you need Ray as a Matter of fact Vince do you have any flights from here that

you could get us s he laughed you know you really are an ass Ray but I can make that happen too I will text you with details see you tomorrow Tanya just sat there with her mouth hanging open totally confused with what just took place I suppose I should fill you in Vince is a longtime friend of mine who happens to be a casino host at the bagio I was the best man at his wedding To Felicia and I have known them both for years I try to get there a couple of times a year

and whenever I do go I can usually count on a room I don't mind that Vince gives me a room just enjoy the ride Tanya because it will be a fun and wild one we spent four nights in Vegas I always try to figure out how much the trip cost me and this time it was only about $750 with all food and drinks Tanya enjoyed herself at the shows we saw in The casino gambling with me and by herself and in the bedroom where we used one bed the sex was fantastic and I really enjoyed

being with her too I think we got along fantastically on the last morning when we were done packing for the trip home Tanya told me she wanted to talk Ry after you confront your wife you need to decide if you are going to stay with her or divorce her either way I think I would like to be with you again and I Hope you would like to be with me too when you have made your decision will will you give me a call depending on what you decide I might have a proposal for you okay

Tanya I definitely will call you in a few days I have to say I had a wonderful time with you and enjoyed making love to you you are an amazing woman thank you too for all of the information you gave me about Carl's Affairs it will come in very handy in the near future when we got back into Our hometown I called Judy and said I want to come home and talk but won't do it unless the entire group gets back together so I can talk to all of you at one time Judy said Ray

can't just the two of us talk no I want to talk to all of you at the same time and if you don't arrange that I will not come home at all she agreed and we set a time and Judy said she would have all of them there Tanya and I took an Uber to her house and I had the driver wait for me while I Walked her to her door I pulled her into me in a tight hug and gave her a long and passionate kiss I don't know if Carl was there or if

he could see Tanya but I certainly hoped he could the Uber guy took me to Jacks and I picked up my truck I called Judy again to make sure that everyone was there and they were when everyone was assembled in the living room I confronted Judy about the affair I accused her of deceiving me and lying to me for 2 years Judy you cheated On me and got yourself pregnant so you had an abortion you knew I would find out you had a medical issue so you lied to me and told me that you had

had a miscarriage you said that the mcar somehow caused damage to you so that you could never have children I felt so bad for both of us but I loved you so much and told you that it didn't matter I treated you like a queen because you seemed so sad and I wanted to comfort you and let you know how much I loved You and how special you were to me you didn't deserve any of that though your abortion was the cause of your not being able to have children in the future not a miscarriage

every day we have been together since then we have been living Al lie Judy here's the bottom line I forgive you for your affair with Carl I forgive you for lying to me about the abortion claiming it was a miscarriage I forgive you for all the Deception over the last 2 years the room had been quiet during all of my statements but when I said I forgave her there was a collective sigh and some guarded conversation I just sat there for a bit putting my thoughts in order I said let me continue over the past

week I have been with Tanya Jackson she filled me in on everything about your Affair it seems she saw the two of you and confronted Carl and yes in case you were wondering We did have sex and it was amazing Tanya is beautiful we've become very close in fact one of the things Tanya told me is that Carl is infertile this means my dear wife that if you didn't sleep with other guys during that same time you weren't pregnant by Carl as Jill eloquently put it you were pregnant with my child I will never forgive

you for that ever tears are running down Judy's face and she can barely stay upright in her chair The look on her face was total upset at what she had done but I had no sympathy not for her and not for any of the others who had looks of dis belief on their faces too I had been standing up this whole time so when I was about to leave the room in my house I turned back to the group and said by the way Tanya told me that Carl confessed to affairs with several blonde women

in addition to Judy oh wait I suppose I should mention that the list included Jill and Nancy And Pat too so guys it appears that all four of our wives wanted to try other men but at least I had the decency to tell you none of you had the decency to tell me so I don't have a lot of sympathy for you now good luck with your marriages it was a few days later that I called Judy and said I am filing for divorce and you will be served soon I think it would be wise

of you to not fight me on this or everyone including your family will hear about your sorted Tale I promise to be fair to you even if your actions were not fair to me just sign the papers when you are served the lease on this house is up in 2 months and I will pay the rent and until then but if you want to stay there you will have to sign the lease on your own there will be some spousal support I suppose but you don't earn that much less than I do so don't expect

it to be a huge amount or to last too long just take the deal that is offered and sign the papers Judy was served 2 days later and signed the papers after the requisite time the divorce was Final Judy had cried herself to sleep every night after I left and was almost comos the day the divorce was Final she and I never talked again she knew she had ruined her marriage and just couldn't forgive herself for what she had done eventually she started dating again but never had a serious relationship she just couldn't be happy

with someone else the other couples from Our group were all still together even though they went through some tough times our first family gathering was pretty tense our parents wanted Pat and me to kiss and makeup but I wasn't prepared to do that yet I guess she wasn't either because I got scolded quite a bit I really didn't care what she thought her husband Bruce did come up to me though and apologized to me he said I'm sorry R I know now that I should have told you but Pat didn't want The subject to come

up for obvious reasons she knew if we spilled the beans with you that all the other Affairs would come out too I really am sorry though I told him thanks thanks Bruce I wish you would have told me too it would have kept me from wasting two years of my life I did call Tanya as soon as the divorce was Final she said well I expected you to call sooner ray but I am glad you did now you know Carl was not happy that you and I spent the week in Vegas but he knew he

had to accept it when I got home I told him that I was going to ask you for a favor re I want children and and Carl will never be able to give them to me I would love for you to be the father of my children we he it off in Vegas and I am sure you would have to agree that we are very compatible during my fertile time I would come and stay with you for a few days and we can make love hopefully impregnating me Carl is not happy about This either but

I told him it was the only way I would stay with him so he agreed I was somewhat shocked by this but not totally Tanya you know I like you a lot and we had a fantastic time in Las Vegas making love with you was everything a man could want I have to tell you though a long-term Affair and impregnating you isn't something I would want to do I think that Carl deserved the week we had together but it isn't in my nature to do that to someone long Term plus if I impregnate you I

would want to be in a relationship with you and be there to raise my children I am sorry but I just can't do it the way you asked if you decide to divorce Carl you and I can get to know each other and if we click we could get married and have children that is my offer to you regardless I think that you and I can be friends I do know that we click that much in the short time we were together call me if you want to do lunch Sometime good luck Tanya you are

a wonderful woman
