thanks for being here subscribe to cheating stories best so you don't miss new stories is it no big deal or is it cheating today's story with a similar plot enjoy it darling I asked are you already asleep Amy simply shook her head and muttered something indistinct can I ask you a question I took that as consent can you explain to me after so many years of marriage why you suddenly became better at caring for my ego still half asleep Amy grumbled I've always done it for you I watched Amy she relaxed curled up with her
back to me hugging an extra pillow yes you have done it but you did it more out of Duty than desire why such a sudden change Amy rolled over tightly holding the pillow she looked at me with her seductive blue eyes smiled broadly and said in a flirtatious tone I don't remember you complaining I smiled at Amy my longtime friend and lover whom I met over two decades ago at a backyard summer party I'm not complaining I'm just curious why you suddenly changed your attitude Amy got up from the bed placing her hands on her
hips and looked at me we can go back to how things were if you prefer she said angrily no I like your new skills I wanted this I said you're almost as good as some of my old College girlfriends Amy blushed with anger before she could resp respond I added but you still haven't answered my question why did you get better did you read articles or talk to friends or maybe you underwent training what do you even mean Amy exploded I'm not accusing you I'm just trying to understand I replied calmly you've never shown much
enthusiasm for this and suddenly everything changed I'm curious why Amy grabbed a pillow and headed for the door as she left the bedroom she angrily shouted stop bothering yourself about it because I'll never do it again Amy was halfway down the hallway when I said from the doorway it doesn't matter if you tell the truth today I'll find out tomorrow what do you mean Amy asked her jaw dropping it means I said slowly that the private detective I hired almost 6 weeks ago has finished his report I'm meeting with him in the morning I suspect
your new and improved skills will be a significant part of that report as I closed and locked the bedroom door I saw Amy's jaw drop Amy's knocking sobbing and pleading continued for over an hour as I lay in our double bed crying into my pillow Amy and I got up early since I didn't want to talk to her I set the alarm for 3:00 in the morning I got dressed in sports clothes and left the house within 5 minutes my workout that morning lasted 2 hours and I was exhausted I took a shower and got
dressed in the clothes that I had put in my car the day before I settled into a table at my favorite breakfast place just before 6:00 I was two blocks from my office after I ordered my coffee I turned on my phone and was immediately bombarded with text messages and voicemail notifications from my wife I ignored the messages and texted my boss can you meet me at Lucy's before work do not rush 30 minutes later I received of course at 7:30 Stacy flew into Lucy's looked around and noticing me popped down on the bench opposite
she ordered coffee and a bagel to go and then looked at me Stacy's eyes widened and she said you look like crap yes I look like crap and I feel even worse is there anything at work that I need to know about I shook my head and I felt Stacy relaxed before she even finished her question no it's personal I'm convinced is cheating on me she almost confirmed it last night this morning I'm meeting with the private investigator I hired his report is ready and I will find out all the unpleasant details I just want
to warn you that I will be sneaking in and out of the office while I SAR out this mess Stacy sat silently and collected her thoughts finally she asked how can I help if you don't have a w I'm not sure you can do much I will take the next two days off but will remain in constant contact with the office this will help me get through until the weekend I'm going to stay away from Amy for a while I'm meeting with my private investigator this morning and my lawyer tomorrow morning in conclusion I Shrugged
my shoulders don't you think you're getting ahead of yourself unless you're not telling me something have you seen any evidence last night I provoked an argument about intim Amy quickly became heated and ran out of the bedroom I told she didn't need to answer my questions my private investigator would answer them in the morning if you had seen the look on Amy's face you would have been 100% sure of what the report would say you need to talk to her Chris Stacy insisted I know I will do so but not now where did you stop
I asked Stacy I'll rent a room Stacy began rumaging through her suitcase sized purse and finally pulled out a set of keys taking the key off the ring she said here is the key to our Cottage it's only 35 minutes away we won't be using it until the end of the month handing me the key she asked can I give you some advice certainly if everything goes as you expect your life will get worse before it gets better life will be crap for a while and then one day you'll wake up and not feel like
crap at all you'll just be miserable this will be the start of your recovery you seem to be speaking from experience my ex divorced me 12 years ago it was cruel we took a sip of coffee and Stacy continued I don't talk about it much mainly because I'm embarrassed I ruined my life my child's life and Tom's life his family despises me my son's friends hit on me because they know I understand you don't have to tell me things like that Stacy even after two years of weekly therapy sessions I still have more questions about
my idiotic Behavior than answers she confessed each of us smiled sadly Stacy continued Tom found out about my infidelity in the worst possible way he tested positive for intimate transmitted diseases I infected my husband and best friend I was at a loss for words so she continued it's only getting worse if that's even possible I panicked and blamed Tom saying that he was the one who infected me we both knew hell everyone knew I was a cheater why did you do that I asked Stacy stared at the tabletop and admitted because I could because I
wanted to feel that feeling again because I wanted to have a nasty secret because I liked illegal Anonymous rough she explained I travel on business just like you once or twice a year I met an interesting man and invited him to my room looking back it seems so stupid the silence continued until Stacy asked have you ever cheated no to be honest I have never given into temptation don't get me wrong I'm not an angel I like to flirt and I like to know that women find me attractive but I never thought about betraying Amy
why do you think this is so it's just how I'm built night with Amy was pretty vanilla she doesn't like to experiment but a regular date with Amy is always better than the kinkiest one night stand in college what made you suspicious Amy and I have always had an active in in life even after 25 years we still get naked two or three times a week over the past few months Amy has become a little more aggressive a little more adventurous a little more I Shrugged again a couple of months later with a growing lump
in my stomach I hired a private detective I'll know the results in a couple of hours I bet Amy will call the office looking for you what should we tell her tell her that I'm taking a short vacation and won't be back at the office until next week Stacy paid our bill along with her Bagel she leaned over hugged me tightly and said hold on let me know if there's anything I can do for you our daughters Julie and Kate were Juniors at the University of Connecticut Julie was exactly 9 month months older than her
sister Kate was allowed to skip fourth grade and ended up graduating from high school in the same class as her older sister Julia followed in my footsteps and majored in electrical engineering Kate majored in chemistry and planned a career in medicine earlier that day I was able to reach Kate on her cell phone telling her that I needed to speak with her and her sister later that afternoon and asking that they not contact their mom until we let's talk dad what the hell is going on Dad mom has called each of us a dozen times
and must know that we dodging her calls Julie exclaimed as I kissed Kate on the cheek hugged Julie and led them to a table in a quiet corner of the UC Student Union you look like crap dad Julie said for the first time in weeks I laughed heartily as I realized those were exactly the words my boss had said earlier in the day yes you're not the first to notice this I replied it was Kate's turn and she said just tell us Dad we worry what's happening I rehearsed in my head how to answer this
question but was at a loss for words when it came time to speak instead the sobs that I had been holding in since I met with my private detective came out in a fountain of Tears both girls jumped out of their chairs and ran into my arms my girls held me tightly until I was able to get my very strong emotions under control sorry that I have to tell you this but I will file for divorce from your mother she has a long ongoing affair with a colleague Julie began but Dad you she couldn't finish
her thought yeah baby I'm sure I have proof I said Julie's jaw dropped and Kate began to cry Julie spoke next dad I want to see the evidence I know you're not lying but I need to see this earlier in the day I took one photo that was horrifying but one of the least offensive and separated it from the rest of the private investigators report I pulled out a photo of their mom and Mike Brooks leaving the house their real estate firm was trying to sell Michael and Amy stood on the porch and kissed the
girls looked at the photo together and Julie began dad honey I interrupted I have photos videos text messages and emails I will never show this to any of you but I saw them they are awful at this moment both girls were crying Kate asked through tears are you really going to divorce your mom girls at the moment I don't see an alternative I know I have never been a perfect husband or father I Shrugged off their protests and continued but I tried to do the right thing most of the time I was successful but sometimes
I was wrong my mistakes were never intentional and I always corrected them immediately I have invested everything I have into my marriage and family I have nothing more to give and it seems like mom needs more the girl stopped crying and listened carefully to my words I still love your mother although not as much as I did 6 weeks ago when I became suspicious but I don't really like her I certainly don't trust her and I can't imagine ever being able to trust her again the worst thing for me is that I have lost your
mother's respect she humiliated me in the worst ways possible and she didn't care the brief silence was broken by Julie's cell phone ringing we looked at the phone screen and saw mom looking at Julie I said don't before I could say anything else Julie grabbed her phone and angrily replied sorry Mom but Kate and I don't have time for you we console our grief stricken father if you need someone to talk to too just call your intimate buddy we could all hear Amy screaming hysterically as Jay hung up when the phone rang again Julie immediately
turned it off and Katie followed suit I'm s you find yourself in the middle of this terrible mess your mom okay she's still your mom she loves you and you know it I expect things to be Rocky between you and Mom at least for a while but I also expect you to treat her with the respect she deserves when the girl started protesting I raised my hand I'm not asking you to accept her infidelity or the irreparable damage it has caused to our wonderful family but we will all have to learn to live with it
I looked from one of my girls to the other and continued she is your mother and you need to accept and love her warts and all just like you need to accept me in the same way after leaving the UC campus I stopped at a burger joint for a bite and a well-deserved craft beer then headed to my parents house I rarely visit my parents unannounced and as I was sitting in their driveway Gathering my thoughts I saw their front door swing open dad went out onto the porch and Mom followed on his heels they
watched me together while I sat in my car I gathered my courage and got out of the car and as I started to walk up the path in front of the house dad walked towards me Dad and I met halfway and he wrapped me in a big bare hug the strength that I tried to muster left me and I unashamedly burst into tears into my father's shoulder my mother's shoulder your mom and I don't know what's going on but Amy's frantic phone calls alerted us to the fact that there was a problem we expected you
to show up this evening after I told my parents about Amy's affair with her co-worker my mother asked do you think counseling could help you deal with this problem my mother was always an optimist and in truth she considered Amy her daughter tears streamed down her cheeks as I shook my head and said I have no desire to see a therapist I'm not perfect but I treated Amy and the girls like Queens I didn't do anything wrong and I don't deserve the cruel disgusting treatment that Amy showed me but you spent so many wonderful years
together she said sighing I I admitted you're right mom we had a wonderful life together until Amy and only Amy ruined this perfect life in family this wasn't a one night stand It's A Love Affair between two selfish married people who don't care about anyone but themselves I could tell the wheels in Mom's brain were turning madly as she tried to think of a different approach I think I stunned my mother when I asked why do you want me to be miserable living with a lying cheating like I said I'm not perfect but I hope
we can all agree that I deserve better than to live with a cheating please Chris my mother begged don't call Amy such dirty names at least not in front of me I was trying to get my point across mom Amy has happily accepted everything I can give but it's not enough she took much more and in the process humiliated and disrespected me I'll ask again don't I deserve better Dad interrupted her and said give Mom a break we trying to make sense of what is still a shock you know that your mom and I will
support you in any decision you make Dad waited a few seconds before continuing and you must understand if this is possible we would like to continue our relationship with Amy and her family it certainly won't be as strong as what we have now but I pray Amy's activities don't stop that from happening when Dad finished Mom's cell phone rang mom looked at the screen and said this is Amy after thinking for a second mom looked me in the eye and said I won't avoid Amy's calls and I won't lie to her I will never ask
you for this Dad Dad and I sat in silence while mom answered the call hello Amy he arrived here 10 minutes ago and told us about your behavior I suppose he'll stay here for the night now sorry Chris Amy is on her way don't worry about it Mom I'm going to go I'll call you in the morning Mom asked where are you going Stacy has a family Cottage on Lake Cooper she allows me to use it for a short time eventually you'll have to talk to her dad said I'll talk but I'm going to do
it on my time not hers I'm just not ready what should we tell Amy when she arrives mom wanted to know I would call her and tell her that she's going in vain tell her I'm not ready to talk to her I know you won't lie but I expect you not to tell her where I'm staying mom started crying I walked around the table and hugged her tightly dad joined us and the Harrington family consoled each other my mom and dad silently gave me all the emotional support I needed after officially starting the divorce process
with a visit to a highly recommended divorce lawyer I headed to my mother-in-law's house Amy's car wasn't in the driveway so I parked and headed to the front door this is really bad isn't it these these were the first words of greeting when Frank Wilson opened the front door it can't get any worse Frank stood in the middle of the doorway blocking my entrance and asked who cheated she did it do you have evidence Frank wanted to know when I nodded Frank yelled damn and turned leaving the door open and went into the kitchen Eileen
Amy's mother sat restlessly at the kitchen table when I entered she raised her head and pointing to the C coffee maker on the counter said the coffee is fresh while I silently poured a cup Frank pulled out a bottle of Jack from the kitchen cabinet we sat down and Frank added a couple shots of bourbon to his coffee and slid the bottle across the table towards me as I poured some courage into my cup Frank asked can I see the evidence staring at the kitchen table I told him I'll let you see the written report
but I won't show you any photographs or videos I looked up when he swore again and looked looking him in the eyes continued but Frank I beg you don't ask to see the photographs no father should ever see his daughter do what is shown in the photographs it was sad to see but Frank collapsed in front of Eileen and me Eileen intervened and asked is there any hope that your marriage will survive I met with the lawyer earlier this morning he will complete the paperwork early next week and file the papers in court on Wednesday
the lawyer has Amy cell number and will'll call her she will have the opportunity to pick up the documents in his office or we can serve her officially I said I can't believe you're ruining your marriage with such disregard Eileen had a flash of anger I'm not destroying anything Eileen it's Amy's fault she left me but it was only once I screamed I took three deep breaths to calm myself and momentarily regretted the bourbon I'd put in my coffee this happened more than once this didn't happen twice only Amy and her kinky intim buddy know
exactly how many times they've dated but their romance has been going on for months we were all silent for a few moments before I continued this is the second marriage for each of you you both ended your first marriage is due to infidelity Frank quickly replied but our marriages were new yours has been going on for 25 years surely that must mean something love trust and respect Frank you've said these words to me hundreds of times over the years a marriage should have equal parts love trust and respect I don't trust Amy and she sure
as hell doesn't respect me I said will you be fair to Amy in the divorce according to divorce laws I have no choice but you know me I'm not going to make this any more difficult for Amy and her family than it needs to be what about the girls Frank wanted to know yesterday afternoon I was on on campus and we talked the girls know that I'm filing for divorce and they know the reason they're not happy with Amy but I don't think anyone is happy with her it may take a little time but they
will come to their senses I promise I have no right to ask I interrupted Eileen and said you can ask me anything I'm divorcing Amy I have no intention of divorcing you and Frank and I hope that we can continue our friendship and relationship tears flowed from M's eyes as she asked please talk to Amy I will do so I promise but I'm not going to talk to her today and probably not for the next few days but I will talk to her Mary Beth Johnston was Amy's close friend for many years their relationship could
have been closer but I've been wary of Mary Beth and her husband Phil since we met Mary Beth and Phil had an open marriage although they did not actively involve singles and couples in their chosen lifestyle they were not secret of either they often told R-rated stories about their activities there were a few occasions over the years when Amy's interest in swingers parties and Friends with Benefits relationships made the hair stand up on the back of my neck but in the end I trusted my wife completely I can't believe you treat Amy like that yes
she made a huge mistake but she's sorry you need to put on your big boy pants and get over it go and have night with some chick if you want but don't do anything stupid that was Mary Beth's opening Salvo as she popped down on the chair across from me in the restaurant I'm not going to do anything stupid I promise Mary Beth looked at me doubtfully and said Amy was under the impression that you were seeking a divorce I'm seeking a divorce the documents will be submitted on Wednesday filing for divorce is not stupid
this is what normal people do when they want to get rid of their lying cheating wife before Mary Beth could continue I asked you've known me almost as long as Amy has known me I knew all this time about your open marriage when did I give any indication that I would accept an open marriage or an Unfaithful wife Mary Beth was stunned and said not addressing anyone this is such a nightmare my immediate response was this is a nightmare this is a nightmare for Amy for me our children family and friends Mary Beth this is
about to become a nightmare for you and Phil too coming to her senses Mary Beth snapped of course this is a nightmare for Phil and me we have all been friends for many years I simply smirked at Mary Beth as my threat went over her head what she asked what followed was excitement I asked I had a private detective who was investigating Amy's suspicious Behavior continuing to advance Mary Beth replied yes so what he caught her cheating the private investigators report listen the contents of all text messages between you and Amy over the past 6
months Mary Beth was trying to process the information when I said I know Mike was a member of your swingers group before he got married I know you told Amy he has a big man tool when you found out he was working with Amy you told her to have intim with him I know Amy has been keeping you posted on their weekly dates I know every nasty detail you pathetic Mary Beth jumped up and said listen Chris before she could continue I said every action has a consequence the consequence of Amy's infidelity is divorce the
consequences for you and Phil won't be as bad but I'm going to do everything I can to ruin your life how the hell are you going to do that smiling for the first time I said I'm glad you asked I reached into my back pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper I pointedly unfolded it and said I'm going to send this email to several people you would and Phil know Mary Beth reached across the table and snatched the paper from my hands she read topic Mary Beth and Phil Johnston ruined my marriage friends
my name is Chris Harrington I have been married to Amy Harrington for almost 25 years except for the last few months my marriage has been perfect at least for me due to the direct impact of Mary Beth and Phil Johnston's open marriage my wife cheated on me and I am filing for divorce a 25-year marriage was flushed down the toilet I am writing this letter as a warning so that other marriages will not be ruined by Mary Beth and Phil's Cavalier attitude towards marital Fidelity my wife cheated with a swinger friend of Phil and Mary
Beth Mary Beth encouraged the relationship and told my wife Amy that she would never forget it Mary Beth is right my wife will never forget her affair because it led to the breakdown of our marriage and the destruction of our family whether you have a personal business or social relationship with the Constance Please be aware of their complete disregard for marriage vowe and their willingness to sabotage your marriage perhaps if I had chosen our friends more carefully Amy and I would not have gotten divorced sincerely Chris Harrington Mary Beth his you idiot we will sue
you if you send us to anyone I chuckled and replied my lawyer reviewed the email and text messages from the private investigators report he concluded that everything in the email was true who the hell are you sending this to I have an email list of every teacher and administrator in your school district as well as members of the Board of Education I have 38 names and email addresses of employees at Phil's company of course there are over 300 people working there but I suspect the email will be passed around members of your country club and
church will receive a copy there are several other organizations that you or Phil are involved with they will also receive copies Mary Beth sat with her mouth open I told her you can keep this copy for yourself so Phil can see exactly what is being sent have a nice life you disgusting piece of as part of the private investigators report I was informed that Lucy Brooks the wife of Michael Brooks took her children to play at Willowbrook Park every Saturday morning at the park she and her children met with the usual group of mothers and
babies recognizing me in my greeting Lucy said Chris I haven't seen you since the office holiday party what a pleasant surprise good to see you Lucy seven mothers stared at me as I continued I admit that our meeting was not accidental I hope we can talk privately for a few minutes Lucy nodded happily and said of course certainly but after a moment she noticed that my behavior did not correspond to her cheerful mood she asked Chris this is all she stopped and stared at me as the first glimmer of understanding appeared on her face Lucy
ped noticeably her friend's friendly faces showing either concern for Lucy or anger that I had somehow obset their friend are you okay asked the plump blonde sitting next to her Lucy did not immediately answer her friend and came out of a short trance only when the second mother sharply asked what's going on I'm fine I'm fine I said to her I guess we need a little privacy that would be best there is a high probability that this will not happen a slender and very attractive red-haired girl jumped to her feet her angry gaze darting back
and forth between Lucy and me Chris this is my overprotective older cousin Aggie Aggie meet Chris Harrington Chris's wife and Mike work together I suspect Chris wants to talk to me about the female intuition issues you think I'm imagining ladies agie asked how about Lucy and I sit at the picnic table under the tree I pointed to a place 15 M away from us this should give us the Privacy we need without being too far away Lucy stared blankly at the ground for several moments silent tears streaming down her cheeks as she began to rise
to her feet agie ran up to her cousin and hugged her tightly and both women began to sob together when they parted Aggie's angry look turned to sadness when she saw my wet eyes I told Aggie I didn't just bring bad news I'm stuck in the middle of this mess with your cousin with Lucy by my side we set off after walking just a few steps Lucy stopped turned around and said Aggie will you take the children home with you she replied of course Lucy if necessary can they stay for the weekend Aggie smiled sadly
and nodded Lucy and I were sitting across from each other at the picnic table and I asked how long have you known sighing Lucy said unfortunately this is not my first rodeo we got married a little later than most and had children almost immediately after our second child Mike had a vasectomy his first romance began 6 months later the second began a year after our first Skirmish this is the third strike I suspected things had gone wrong within a month I'm struggling with the thought of divorcing Amy I know this will be the end result
but I constantly doubt myself can you tell me why you stayed with Mike after his first two affairs mainly because of the children oh this is entirely because of the children I grew up raised by a divorced angry mom and a dad who came over once a week I didn't want this for my children I still don't want to but this is their future luckily I have a strong family in the area and will get a lot of help I guessed what Lucy's answer would be and nodded in understanding I asked do you know why
Mike cheats it was Lucy's turn to nod he t pleasure in turning good girls into bad ones I wasn't a virgin when we got married but I was very naive when it came to intimate Mike was my lover and teacher he had high expectations of me and rewarded me mostly with Incredible climaxes when I lived up to his expectations I love being his but I want it to be in a loving and faithful marriage Lucy continued do you have proof I pulled out a thick envelope and handed it to her I would like to suggest
that you give the evidence to your lawyer and not not look at it Mike and Amy are not very nice to us during most of their meetings there's nothing there but a broken heart what made you suspect Amy I chuckled and said obviously Mike had the same hopes for Amy like a good dog she enjoyed the tricks she learned and shared them with me while we were sitting here I decided to stay at Aggie's house for the weekend I know it's a lot to ask but could you take me home so I can pack my
things for a few days before I could agree Lucy said I have to warn you Mike will be home no offense but I'm not worried about your husband I'm glad to take you home having agreed with Aggie Lucy returned to me and we headed to my car the drive to her house was mostly silent when we pulled out onto her street she pointed to an SUV parked on the side of the road and said pull next to that truck I did as I was told and watched as Lucy waved to the driver she looked at
me pointed ahead and said this is a white Colonial five houses down and to the left as I pulled into the driveway the SUV pulled up behind me Mike was in the middle of the front lawn pushing the lawn mower everything happened quickly Mike waved to Lucy as she got out of my car the two women quickly got out of the SUV they squeezed Lucy between them and led her to the front door a very large man walked behind the women after they entered the house the man stood in front of the entrance protecting them
an older man got out of the SUV at the same time I was getting out of my car he walked up with his hand out stretched and said I'm Larry Green Lucy is my daughter I stood in the open front door of my car with my hands on the hood and looked across the car as Mike walked towards me Chris Chris Harrington what is Lucy doing to you Mike was visibly shaking and pale I met her in the park this morning I had a package a very large package from my private investigator that I wanted
to share with her before Mike could answer Larry said you're a piece of work Mike you were born a piece of crap and you will die a piece of crap you just lost the only useful and worthwhile part of your worthless life this is all Mike yelled he turned ran to the front door and shouted stay out of my way Georgie I guessed that Georgie was the giant who was now sitting on the top step of the landing by the front door the man didn't move a muscle until Mike was ready to walk past him
and then with the grace of a cat the man jumped to his feet and placed both hands on Mike's chest a second later Mike was lying flat on his back the wind knocked out of him Larry looked at me questioningly I told him it looks like Mike slipped Larry nodded and said yes that's what it was like for me eventually Mike staggered to his feet he turned and shouted it's all your wife's fault she came for me everyone knows she's just a I can't argue with you Mike Amy is a and she's not my problem
anymore I laughed sadly at Mike and was afraid that my emotions were about to fail me I didn't want that to see how hurt I was at that very moment Larry put his hand on my shoulder he squeezed and a stream of energy flowed into me you'll make a great couple Mike Amy knows you're a cheater and you know the same about her what do you think will come of this I don't want this I laughed again and replied I think she's lucky she already has enough problems to be saddled with a like you I
reached out and shook Larry and told him this is not worth my time or energy I'm leaving take good care of Lucy she seems like a wonderful woman two weeks later Amy was charged and her lawyer contacted mine life has returned to a new and Mis able normal when I checked my voicemail at lunch I found a voicemail from my mother-in-law hello Chris this is Eileen I'm calling to remind you of your promise to arrange a conversation with Amy I'd consider it a personal favor if you called her thank you I love you I gritted
my teeth and dialed my home number with a sigh knowing Amy would be at work I left the following message Amy this is Chris I stayed at Stacy's family home on the lake if you want to come over for lunch on Saturday I'll make sandwiches can we talk meet me at the picnic table in the backyard at noon thanks for meeting with me Chris lunch looks delicious thank you Amy and I sat across from each other at a picnic table by the lake although she didn't have that glow that I've seen every day for the
past two decades Amy still looked good good to see you Amy thank you for coming Amy looked around and replied it's so calm here I agree when I was thinking about new living conditions my first thought was to move to an apartment in the city center next to my office I think I've changed my mind and have my on Lake for a property in the area I didn't want my comment to hurt Amy but I could tell she was immediately devastated Amy I Amy interrupted me with a wave of her hand her eyes filled with
tears as she said you don't need to apologize I'm too sensitive she looked up from the table and continued I'm so scared her statement hung in the air and I watched her carefully as she collected her thoughts I've been scared before many times new challenges at work often paralyzed me the challenges of raising two smart athletic and beautiful girls scared The Living Daylights out of me but you were always there for me I had my team and I knew that together we could conquer anything smiling I remarked we did a good job isn't it we
smiled contentedly for a few minutes and ate our lunch I filled Amy's half empty glass and poured myself a second round of craft beer I went to a psychoanalyst Amy sigh and continued this is an incorrect description Dr poer is amazing and she is helping me come to terms with the end of our marriage and move forward as a team I'm happy for you Amy I hope you get the answers you need I promised myself over and over again that I wouldn't ask you about reconciliation everyone told me it was impossible but I have to
I have to ask is there a chance that you can forgive me and we can be together again I took a deep breath and took a couple sips of beer these are two different questions Amy I've been thinking about the Forgiveness half of the questions since we agreed to meet today I promised myself that I would try to forgive you after thinking I continued it will take some time and I don't know if it's possible but I'm going to try I will be honest and tell you that if I forgive you it will be for
the sake of the girls our family and myself rather than for your sake after draining half the remaining beer I finished we will see each other often enough that I don't want to feel angry but Amy I'm not going to stop the divorce and we're never going to get back together Amy sniffled and nodded in understanding she asked if I need help if I need to talk can I call you I wanted to shout no you're hey instead I reached into the refrigerator grabbed more beer and filled my glass having regained my composure I suggested
are you satisfied with the compromise Amy nodded hesitantly I said except in emergency cases let's work through our lawyers until the divorce becomes final after that I will answer your calls our divorce was finalized 7 months later I was sitting on the back porch of my new Lakeside home on my first night as a free man I was trying to decide whether I wanted the buzz of two high alcohol drinks the craft beer in the refrigerator next to my chair or getting punched in the face by the bottle of bourbon on the table in front
of me when my cell phone rang I smiled when I saw who was calling and answered hello Amy I'm really sad and I need to talk to someone too Stacy was right one day 5 years later I woke up the sky was a little Bluer and the birds were chirping a little louder life was getting better Stacy has relocated to our corporate headquarters in Dallas and is currently the Executive Vice President of sales and marketing she remained unmarried her children have grown up after drinking a glass or two of wine she admits that she still
sometimes experiences the thrill of a steamy one night stand Julie graduated with honors from college and currently works as an engineer for a West Coast defense contractor she is in a semi serious relationship and is studying for her master's degree in the evenings Julie has a great relationship with Amy and me and communicates with each of us weekly we call K mole because she has no privacy after graduating from high school she worked for a pharmaceutical company for two years and was then accepted into John's Hopkins school of medicine she's engaged to another mole in
a medical school student and they spend their days and nights studying and taking classes I talked to Kate weekly but I initiate all calls Kate rarely talks to her mother my mom and dad are in surprisingly good health considering they're getting older they still live in the Hartford Connecticut area but due to the cold Winters they also have a tiny one-bedroom Studio condo and Clear Water Florida they spend the cold months in Florida mom has a monthly Saturday lunch with Amy but Dad rarely goes Frank and Eileen are also doing well although they each have
several serious health problems Frank and Eileen take turns dating mom and dad and inviting each other to weekly dinners Mary Beth and Phil moved to the Midwest about a year after our divorce Mike followed them out of town 6 months later good riddance every single one of them Lucy and her children are doing well it took a while before she started dating but once she jumped into the dating world she became very popular among eligible bachelors Lucy set very high standards for for her gentleman and eventually found Mr Wright they just celebrated their first anniversary
