I was sitting on the toilet when I overheard Ben Mortimer bragging to his friend about how he's...

welcome to the cheating Secrets Channel Elvis died in the bathroom everyone knows that Judy Garland did too bless her but not many know that King George II also died in the bathroom more precisely on the toilet I'm a historian so it seems fitting that my life would end in the same way of course I might not die it seems I've had a stroke in the bathroom of my favorite Pub by the harbor my head hurts a lot right now there are probably worse Ways to Die I just had a great meal and a pine of

my favorite ale many men would be happy to meet their maker after that it's a shame though that I had to overhear Ben Mortimer talking about how amazing the sex with my loving wife MIM is how she has a fantastic chest and is incredibly responsive how great she is at kissing and how she gives quite spectacular pleasure after 32 years of marriage of course I knew all that but I would have preferred to die without knowing that someone else knew it too what I didn't know however was how great sex is from behind she refused

to do that with me since the early years of our marriage she said it was degrading and that her knees hurt apparently she could overcome the pain if she was doing it with a 19-year-old Boy the boy I once taught of course I might not die I might survive if I do I'll teach bin Mortimer a lesson he'll never forget the little bastard I don't often go to the pub alone usually I go with friends or with MIM at that time she was staying overnight with her parents so to avoid cooking for myself I decided

to have dinner at the pub steak and potatoes if anyone's curious I'm a history teacher at the local high school in North Yorkshire I've been working there for over 30 years I often end up teaching the children of those I once taught I haven't taught their grandchildren yet but that's probably not far off I noticed Ben Mortimer and his friend Kieran Yates leaning against the bar I quickly did the math and realized that it had been about 3 years since I last taught them they're over 18 now so they're allowed to drink after my meal

I approach them to catch up and see what they're up to these days it turns out both of them work at the same cookie factory as MIM they're in the production line and she works as the secretary to the managing director Kieran snickered into his beer when I asked if they knew her B said he'd seen her a few times when he had to report to the boss she's a pleasant woman he said we laughed and I treated them both to a drink during our conversation I said my goodbyes and decided to pop into the

bathroom on the way out I had just settled down on the toilet when I heard two guys walk in I don't know how you can be so calm about this Ben Mr Moore is such a nice guy he just treated us both to a pint of beer he was the best teacher I've ever had I couldn't stand history until he came along how can you talk to him so normally when you're sleeping with with his M because I think he's a great guy too that's why I don't do anything to hurt him I really like

him honestly I just like fonding Mrs Moore's big old chest even more of course Kieran snickered but it's still wrong listen I'm doing him a favor mate it's not my fault he can't get it up anymore right I'm kind of like his stunt double I give her what he can't and trust me if it weren't me it' be someone else I'm not threatening their marriage am I a 53-year-old woman isn't going to run off with me and I'm not running off with her better me than some older guy who could be a real threat I'm

doing them both a favor and I still think he's a good guy want to check out his artifact collection he's got some really cool stuff in his home office you'll love it suddenly Ben and Co got all excited about my toys like the kids they still were and were thrilled by both my toys and my wife the thing with Mrs Moore is just sex pure and simple fantastic sex but nothing more after talking a bit more about the wonders of my wife's body they left the tingling was getting stronger thankfully shortly after that someone came

in and I managed to get their attention I think I told them to call an ambulance that's how it sounded in my head but not in reality thankfully they realized I wasn't just some drunk and called the ambulance and now I'm in the hospital I leaned back on the pillow and and thought about MIM and me we've been married for 32 years we got married on mim's 21st birthday we don't have children that was disappointing for me but not for MIM she didn't want kids I did but I wanted MIM more end of story she

was enough for me always enough I thought I was enough for her too I thought that until I stopped not having kids meant we could travel and do whatever we wanted whenever we wanted it gave us a sense of freedom that other couples our age with children to support didn't have it also gave us some extra income to play with though we're not wealthy we easily managed the mortgage and paid it off many years ago we have a nice home not huge but we don't need that much space for Just the Two of Us in

fact we didn't even need the two spare bedrooms one of them was used by MIM as a walk-in closet she had beautiful clothes and loved looking good the other spare room was my home office I've always been passionate about history and I kept my collection of military Maps memorabilia and other artifacts and collections there it's not as bad as it sounds I swear everything was once used in lessons at school tools of my trade if you will MIM was just glad that everything was stored there and that all my junk didn't encroach on the rest

of the house I was proud of being a good teacher I knew that my love for history wasn't shared by many to the same extent those who don't have that passion tend to find it a dry subject my mission was to make it as engaging and relevant as possible for the kids in my classes I think to some extent I succeeded I tried to make it fun and interesting I don't want to brag but my popularity with a kid sometimes sparked a bit of professional jealousy but I handled it if the kids sometimes like me

more than my subject I didn't mind they were still learning I'm of average build I keep myself in shape but MIM was always beautiful to me she was an ordinary young woman but aged very well she always had a large chest when we first met she complimented me saying I always looked her in the eyes most guys just stared at her chest I didn't want to admit that I simply timed my glances at her perfectly whenever she looked away every time her chest had fascinated me since the moment we first met 34 years ago I

adored her and the fact that in the pub bathroom they were mocking her as having a big old chest made me angrier than I could express I should probably take a few deep breaths they help keep my blood pressure in check MIM and I never had anyone else well at least I didn't when we met I was a virgin we always had a very good sex life unlike most couples we maintain the same Pace when we hit our 30s and even into our 40s we both had strong sexual drives and without the distraction of children

we continued to live just like we had in the early years of our marriage we were never bored we experimented and added new excitement some role playing here and a lot of other kinds of sex there that was the case until MIM turned 40 and went through menopause it was a really hard blow she didn't handle it well at all at that point our love life came to a complete stop I wasn't even allowed to touch her if I tried to cuddle it meant I only wanted one thing and if I suggested making love I

was a heartless bastard didn't I have any sense of how she felt well no I didn't but as a loving husband I did my best to support her so we went from a very active sex life to a dead bedroom there was no sex for 2 years I suggested putting a bed in my office to give her some space honestly I thought she would be happy about it she could set the temperature in the bedroom to whatever she needed and not worry that I might jump on her at any moment in a selfish sense it

was hard for me to be in the same room with her it wasn't just the visual arousal when I saw her getting dressed or undressed but also her scent when I lay next to her it was torture for me on top of that I was freezing because she kept the window open in the dead of winter since she was always hot when I suggested moving out temporarily I became the embodiment of evil I was rejecting her I didn't care I was cruel let's just say I never moved out of our bedroom no I stayed freezing

frustrated but satisfied that in my otherwise useless life I was a husband who supported her then suddenly like a spring flower blooming at 52 everything fell back into place for MIM the menopause fairy flew off to find her next victim she left Miriam with a few extra curves which suited her very well unlike some women the menopause fairy also left MIM with a renewed sex drive unfort fortunately over those years I seemed to have lost my ability to perform though not the desire at first I thought it was just from a lack of use but

no it turned out to be a rectal dysfunction my doctor at the time was young and completely unsympathetic he didn't reassure me or help ease my situation in any way he clearly thought that this old man shouldn't be worried about such things he explained that it was a side effect of my blood pressure medication and that I would have to live with it he was very matter of fact I was devastated I felt embarrassed and humiliated it had been hard enough just to ask for help I decided to approach it from a strategic point of

view I could either give up on making love entirely or Embrace a new way of being intimate with my wife my pleasure would come from her pleasure I still had other parts of my body didn't I I had been missing closeness and intimacy with him for so long and I wasn't going to lose it again we continued making love love but in a different way don't they say the brain is the biggest sexual organ we made love two or three times a week she continued to experience a lot of pleasure but it wasn't just about

her I regained my confidence and pride in the fact that I could still give her such joy as for regular sex I was more than happy to use toys to satisfy that need the only bit of male pride I held on to was that the toys I used on her could only be used when she was with me I know it's silly but I needed to feel like they were an extension of me she had other toys she could use on her own if she felt the need so we were happy or so I thought

I was still satisfying her as for me I rediscovered the joy of being hugged caressed and kissed I was cherished and MIM was still desired I thought that was enough I was wrong at the hospital they soon discovered that my stroke was es schic so a combination of medications was quickly prescribed timing was crucial to prevent further damage and another stroke fortunately I regained my voice though finding the right words was initially a challenge a kind nurse named Louise told me they had contacted MIM though she was still a few hours away I managed to

tell her that under no circumstances did I want to see her I think Louise assumed this was part of my condition until she saw my blood pressure spiked dramatically I asked her to call my sister to come instead she was local and and I knew she would arrive much faster than MIM anyway my older sister would help me our Margaret is a big girl 6 ft tall and stockings size n Shoes by the way when we were kids she protected me and I knew she would be there for me now it seemed like only a

few minutes had passed from the time they called her and she was already there Nurse Louise asked if she had flown in only on a motorcycle darling it's a Kawasaki and when I need it it flies with that she hugged me tightly and wiped a tear from her cheek you big stupid bastard you made me cry you scared me so much don't you ever do that to me again if you die on me I'll kill you myself we all laughed at that even nurse Louise I told our Margaret what had happened what I had overheard

I didn't mind if Louise heard it too I'll make sure she doesn't get in to see you I need to make sure we keep you as calm as possible you might want to list your sister as your next of kin on the hospital forms it's not actually a legal requirement you can name anyone you like Louise said well I am his closest blood relative Margaret said we're all each other has now later I was told that MIM was upset when she was informed that I didn't want to see her of course she didn't know why

and caused quite a scene I don't blame her I had no doubt that she was genuinely worried about me but deep down I ALS also knew that she still loved me her concern for me was the beginning of her punishment I know I need to talk to her I'm aware of that I wasn't planning to end a 32-year marriage without a conversation but I was certain the marriage was over she may have made me a cockled but I was damn sure I wouldn't be a willing or knowing one eventually MIM ran into our Margaret she

was waiting for her in the hospital parking lot I told Margaret to say as much as needed but no more when MIM finished crying and was reassured that I wasn't in immediate danger she asked why I didn't want to see her Margaret simply said you almost killed my brother with your antics you're a filthy creature I don't want to talk to you anymore with that she lowered the viser on her helmet and roared off into the night when I was discharged from the hospital I went to Margaret's she still lives in Mom's Bungalow she bought

out my share after mom passed away I was discharged with a list of abilitation instructions fortunately I had recovered enough to be home but further Improvement required various therapies and support I stayed with Margaret for just one day before asking her to invite MIM over I needed to have the conversation I had been avoiding I needed to hear what she had to say I'd like to say that some part of me might be able to forgive her I had loved her for so long and I still loved her or at least the woman I thought

she was but I also knew that I am a stubborn unforgiving yorkman combined with my male pride and ego I didn't think I was capable of forgiving her even if I wanted to I needed to be able to look at myself in the mirror with some sense of Pride at that moment I couldn't do that I asked Margaret to keep out of sight she disappeared on her bike in full gear leaving the door on the latch so MIM could come in she looked worse than I did her eyes were swollen from crying and she didn't

look like she had slept Trevor I don't know whether to kiss you or slap you do you have any idea how worried I've been about you if you thought you were sparing me emotional Pain by not letting me see you you were wrong I can't eat I can't sleep so it's all about how this affects you MIM no but I just don't understand why you're being so cruel you know why MIM think about it I know you've been thinking about what Margaret said to you what could you have done that upset me so much I

ended up in the hospital and that made Margaret refuse to talk to you want a hint Ben Mortimer she had enough decency to Flinch when I said his name she quickly gathered her thoughts what about him he's just a silly boy from work a silly boy you're sleeping with how did you find out I was so careful well unfortunately not careful enough to sleep with someone mature enough to be discreet I overheard him telling his buddy Kieran what an amazing lover you you are how he loves faing your big old chest the look of horror

on her face was quite something I'm so sorry you had to hear that it must have been terrible for you well it was bad enough to land me in the hospital darling you shouldn't have let it upset you it's nothing he means nothing nothing to me nothing to us I have no feelings for him except for lust he's just like another sex toy you were still still satisfying me in your own way very satisfyingly there was just something missing when I had the chance to have a real toy made of Flesh and Blood not just

a hard piece of plastic I couldn't resist couldn't or wouldn't you left me without sex for 2 years 2 years I could have gone and found myself a rayol lover made of Flesh and Blood couldn't I that wasn't my fault it was the menopause at that moment I truly lost control and it wasn't my fault it was because I was sick in sickness and in health remember that forsaking all others does that ring a bell it's okay for me to be unsatisfied but not for you is that it my God your selfishness is unbelievable the

real difference is that you left me without affection without hugs without kisses without anything for 2 years I still loved you I was still by your side you abandoned me for 2 years and completely rejected me you discarded me MIM and now you've done it again she turned away unable to look at me just imagine how it felt to hear a couple of guys laughing about my wife talking about her like some Street adulteress discussing my most personal medical condition laughing because I can't get it up doing things with him that you haven't done with

me in years in my own home you even let that little bastard into my personal office what did I ever do to you besides love you what did I do to deserve such disrespect it wasn't like that you're twisting Everything I Wasn't disrespecting you I was just using him it didn't affect my love for you it was separate it was just sex that's all just sex so no tenderness no real intimacy yes exactly just a physical act I waited until I was sure she was looking me in the eyes MIM you're mistaken no real intimacy

I think letting someone else enter your body is probably the most intimate thing you can do what about kissing what about kissing you care about kissing she scoffed you know historically adulteresses didn't kiss their clients because it was considered too intimate are you saying I'm an adulteress in my entire life I've only slept with two men you and him is that supposed to make me feel better I'm not calling you an adulteress MIM at this moment I have more respect for sex workers than I do for you I could see her anger Rising enough of

this you're behaving absolutely horribly you're starting to really piss me off Trevor Moore go pack your things you're coming home with me we need to forget all this nonsense and get back to our normal life what do you consider normal MIM is it normal for you to sleep with teenagers in our bed or is it normal for me to have a faithful devoted wife I can't quite understand how out of touch you are if you think the latter is normal you're being absolutely ridiculous right now you're coming home with me I want to know I

need to take care of you I can't stand it when you need me I'm not going home MIM and I definitely don't need you I love you I can't help that I wish I didn't but I don't need you and I certainly don't want you you can't be ser ious yes it seems you don't realize what you've done to me to our marriage or to our love the fact that you don't seem to take your actions seriously tells me everything I need to know our values and needs are too far apart I'm shocked that you

haven't even asked for forgiveness let me be honest with you you deserve that after all these years even if you had thrown yourself at my mercy and begged for forgiveness I doubt it would have changed anything but we'll never know will we the truth is you don't feel you did anything wrong you're sorry I found out but you're not sorry you did it that's why our marriage is over and that's why I'm divorcing you you took something very valuable to me and shattered it without any respect I just can't give you what you need anymore

so I'm freeing you so you can have all the Flesh and Blood toys you want I'm also freeing myself because being married to you is clearly dangerous to my health that could have been the end of the conversation but of course real life isn't that simple MIM wasn't finished yet you're talking nonsense there will be no divorce you're coming home with me right now I love you and I need you you can't just throw away 32 years of marriage because of this I can't believe you're being so selfish it was nothing nothing that's the problem

MIM for me it was something the level of disrespect you showed me in my own home for God sake unbelievable I'm the selfish one now get out of here before you hurt me even more shortly after she left I heard Margaret returning on her bike she rode straight into the garage but didn't come into the house I went into the garage myself to tell her what had happened she was just tightening a screw on the rear license plate don't ask she smiled I was just preparing a little gift for my favorite brother just for your

brother well you'll still be my favorite so what did my former sister-in-law have to say in her defense offer a heartfelt apology not quite no I didn't think so she was always a smug brat though you could never see it come on kid onward and upward I'll make us a cup of tea a few days passed when I read in the local newspaper that Ben Mortimer 19 years old had fallen down a set of stairs in the old town the stairs were were very dark and narrow squeezed between rows of Georgian Terraces they LED down

to the Waterfront and were a popular route for drunkards making their way home he wre of urine poor bin broken leg collar bone several ribs and covered in urine what a shame there was a picture of him he looked awful Isn't it lucky that this happened when I was with MIM isn't it lucky that the police still haven't found any witnesses to the accident a tall guy in motor Cycle Gear thanks for the gift I said handing the newspaper to Margaret no idea what you're talking about she smirked here's a real gift from me I

opened the box she handed me and found a small collection of World War I medals I thought you might like them I found them in a shop in the old town MIM and I of course divorced she resisted a bit it seemed she never fully got over the shock that I couldn't simply accept her infidelity after selling the house we both bought apartments on opposite sides of town our paths crossed surprisingly rarely I went back to work I admit that first Christmas was tough for me I put on a bit of a show at work

drowning my sorrows I suppose one of the younger guys Darren drove me home and I told him my story his reaction and the support he gave me reassured me that any man in my position would have done the exact same thing I retired still on my own Margaret and I spent a lot of time together until she packed up and moved to gree for her retirement I still saw her during the holidays for a while life got a bit dull though I was still occupied with my history at 65 I got a new neighbor Brenda

we became good friends Companions and eventually more than that we fell in love the closeness between us grew until we were sharing a bed and making love in our own way one night quite early in this new phase of our relationship ship something happened literally and we certainly didn't waste any time after that I rushed to the doctor as soon as possible to find out if this was a one-time occurrence there was an elderly Doctor Who was shocked to learn how little support I had received in the past he was also saddened to hear that

my ereal dysfunction had played a significant role in the breakdown of my first marriage with his help and a slight adjustment to my medication getting and maintaining performance was no longer a problem every everything was sorted by the time we went on our honeymoon that was 10 years ago now we're both 75 and we still love each other very much as far as I know MIM never remarried she moved away after I got married again the last time I saw her she was very bitter there was a hardness and resentment in her that wasn't there

before it happened right after Brenda and I got engaged we were sitting in our favorite Cafe having coffee when MIM showed up I introduced them and MIM said something so venomous that it took my breath away well I hope you can live without proper sex because he hasn't been able to get it up for years I think dear he might have just needed the right woman this morning before breakfast he certainly gave me something very solid Brenda said with a smirk MIM looked at me really yes really MIM turns out all I needed was to

be with someone loving and selfless who actually cared about me with those words MIM walked away jealousy is a terrible thing if anyone knows it's me I once felt it very intensely let's hope she found what she was looking for I found in the end a loving and faithful wife strangely enough Ben Mortimer is now our mailman he's nearly 40 he was horrified when I opened the door to our apartment that first time he apologized for what had happened saying he was just a foolish sex obsessed boy back back than who didn't know any better

now he's happily married and he's even more ashamed of what he did especially because you were always my favorite teacher I'm so ashamed of what I did I'll always regret it I told my wife everything when we were dating and she was so disgusted when I told her it took me a while to convince her to marry me because she said she couldn't be with someone who didn't respect marriage vows in the end I convinced her that I had learned from my mistakes I hope in time I can't convince you of the same there's no

need for that Ben it was 20 years ago ancient history I appreciate your apology it's more than I ever got from MIM anyway we've all moved on how about we go back to being just an old teacher and a former student and I did something I never thought I'd be able to do I shook his hand I also managed to slip into the conversation that my medical issues were resolved long ago I think I embarrassed him people really don't like thinking about seniors having sex now when I see him we laugh and joke I always

tell him as he leaves to be careful on the stairs thank you for listening Until the End see you in the next episode of cheating Secrets take care of yourself and your loved ones goodbye
