I decided I could arrive by 9:00 p.
m. and still be a good husband I was sure that this would make her happy after I picked up the car the GPS instructed me how to get to the reception hall it was just after 9: when I arrived at the reception and the celebration was in full swing the music was loud everyone was dancing and the champagne was flowing there were many drunk people enjoying themselves and celebrating it was truly a joyous occasion and I was happy to be there although I really wanted to be with my wife at the reception there were more than 200 people and I couldn't see Vera when I entered I approached the open bar and ordered a double bourbon stepped aside and looked around the crowd for my wife I was reflecting on our past and how we ended up here Vera was 5 years older than me and had recently divorced when we met her ex-husband DrDrClayton Adams was a resident at Mercy Hospital when they divorced DrClayton as he liked to be called was caught cheating with one of the nurses at the hospital when Vera found out about this she kicked him out devastated by his betrayal she wanted children and a happy life but this jerk destroyed her dreams she divorced him and after the divorce she was in depression and without money in her pocket because the locals earned very little money and the divorce simp divided their property she became a waitress and barely made ends meet thanks to this episode in her life she knew firsthand what Carol felt when I met Vera it was love at first sight I fell head over heels for this woman perhaps she was broken and suppressed but I knew she was an unpolished Diamond I saw her obvious Beauty but I fell in love with her heart and her caring character I saved her from herself turned her life upside down and gave her 19 wonderful years filled with the love of our twin daughters Vera liked my serious approach to relationships we constantly discussed Fidelity and commitment and this made her feel safe I made it clear to her that I was a loyal partner and would never under any circumstances tolerate infidelity and I praised her for leaving her cheating husband no matter how hard it was I explained that many people would put up with it to save their marriage or maintain Financial Security and I admired her ability to move on this was the foundation of our marriage trust loyalty and determination before this damn wedding I was living a wonderful life completely satisfied and in love Vera looked amazing for her 44 years but I was 5 years younger and in excellent shape in fact at the age of 39 I was in the prime of my strength thanks to my regular training in the gym and 5 km runs I was at the peak of my productivity she had an amazing body and we were magnificent in bed our age difference wasn't a problem and we rarely discussed it over the years we raised two wonderful twin daughters Mara and Carrie who are now in college Just 4 hours away from home they were happy in enjoying Student Life preparing for their future we had a great family in a stable marriage at least I thought so and until I saw my wife sitting alone with Clayton her ex-husband I knew Clayton was another of Carol's friends but I didn't expect him to be at the wedding not to mention being here alone without his wife tired from the journey and intrigued by what I had seen I stood and observed them sitting alone together I was struck by how friendly they seemed as they talked about their history I decided to watch for a few more minutes to fully understand what they were doing it didn't take long for my world to shatter I was already about to approach them and interrupt their celebration of love but before I could make my move she stood up took his hand and led him to the dance floor she looked stunning in that form-fitting ivory dress and my heart rushed toward her praying that this was nothing more than just a dance her brazenness shocked me as they danced a several slow songs I sipped my drink and waited to see what would happen next I could tell that was drunk by the way she flirted which wasn't unusual after a few shots she always got excited and flirted with me which was fine what wasn't fine was that she was kissing another man who wasn't me and doing it openly in front of her friends everyone knew she was married to me and that made me even more Furious I felt humiliated and angry watching my wife waste her love still frozen in shock my blood was now boiling as I watched him openly grab her by the ass and kiss her and she responded in kind my anger grew and just as I was about to approach them and break them up they went back to the table and sat off to the side they started kissing like a couple on their honeymoon and I could clearly see his hands on her chest while her hand was under the table just before I was about to confront them I realized that my marriage was over I remembered my father's words respectable men do not tolerate disrespect and I decided to to act but without resorting to violence I could have caused a scene ruined the perfect wedding ceremony stopped them and prevented the events from unfolding any further but why I thought if she wants him she can have him she is no longer mine with strange calmness I took out my phone zoomed in and took several close-up pictures a short video and then sent her a text message great news darling the meeting has been post poned and I'm back but it looks like today you're in good hands I'm going home and I guess you'll be spending the night with DrClayton now I understand why you didn't answer my calls or text messages well have fun and enjoy the demise of our marriage tomorrow when you come home I won't be there anymore I pressed send and calmly watched wondering if she would pick up her phone and read the text while I was watching I saw a notification for an incoming message light up on her phone she saw it light up on the table and picked it up then she began pressing some buttons obviously searching for the message Vera seemed to sober up quickly as I saw her expression turn serious as soon as I saw her reaction I headed from the reception desk to my car Vera must have panicked when she saw me leaving but I ran outside before she could reach me as I was opening the door of my car I heard her scream Tony please wait I gave her a cold look simply shook my head got into my car and drove out of the parking lot before she could reach me my phone immediately began ringing but I was not in a position to answer the call let alone talk to her if she wanted to be with her ex then between us it was over hell after what I had just seen it was already over between us 22 years after divorcing at cheating she was throwing herself back into his arms at the first opportunity well she will have to explain everything to the family and the kids because this is all on her conscience dozens of crazy text messages started coming to my phone Tony please come back let me explain I love you please come back God damn it Tony it wasn't what it seemed I love you but after 2 days of 10 hour flights 2 days without returned calls and messages her cold attitude and watching her with Clayton I was in no mood to listen to her apologies in fact I was angrier than ever and wanted nothing to do with her or her nonsense after 20 phone calls and messages I stopped and sent her one response the text I sent said go to hell my work was going great my kids were studying at College which was already funded and nothing was holding me back I was still young enough to start over halfway back to Nashville I stopped at a diner to grab a bite and take a short nap in my car before continuing on the way home while eating scrambled eggs with bacon I decided to let the world know how I felt between bites I changed my status on social media from happily married to single then I posted two photos I had taken showing Vera and Clayton passionately kissing at the wedding in the second photo it was clear to everyone that his hand was on her chest below the photo I explained that Vera was bargaining and going back to her ex-husband and that I was back on the market yes it was immature but in my opinion it was the truth I was moving on without her the funniest thing is that Clayton her ex-husband was almost 50 years old he was going bald overweight and without trying to seem he was no upgrade in any sense of the word what the hell was she thinking leaving us for some old worn out guy who had already cheated on her maybe she wanted to be with a doctor instead of an accountant in fact it really hurt in that moment I felt more pain than I could ever remember I was sad and angry but it also made me laugh at the ridiculous situation she was destroying her 19-year marriage for some old man who had cheated on her over 20 years ago her and him he can have her and they deserve each other I wasn't the kind of guy who would put up with such disrespect I'm sure there are many guys who would say it was just a kiss and a few touches and that there's no reason to leave her sorry but in my world either my woman is loyal to me or she's free to be with someone else we all live with our choices after a late breakfast and a 2-hour nap in the car I hit the road again and pulled into my driveway at 7 a. m.
when I turned on my phone it started buzzing with dozens of notifications there were so many that I didn't think they would ever stop there must have been over a hundred messages from her her parents her sister and Friends 5 minutes after turning on the phone it started ringing and I noticed it was Vera I wondered if she had gotten any sleep last night or spent it with Clayton it didn't matter I just ignored her calls because all of that was in the past now and I focused only on taking what I needed from the house and moving on that I got along well with her family and when they called me that morning I answered their call and explained to her father what had happened James I had no idea she was unhappy in our marriage but the Betrayal was a fatal blow to our happy life the disrespect she showed in front of people we know is something I can't accept no it was clear she still had feelings for that Bast Ed and now she can be with him I'm determined to find a woman who will appreciate what I can offer and remain faithful James I have no other choice I'm moving out today and will immediately put the house up for sale tomorrow morning I'll contact a lawyer to file for divorce she can stay here until the house is sold and I will treat her fairly during the divorce call me old-fashioned but I won't live with a woman who wants to be with someone else she made her choice but I don't believe she made a wise one this time James arrived an hour later and begged me to wait and talk to her before crossing the line after he asked me to give her a chance to explain I told him once again to look at that photo and see how they openly caressed each other at the wedding I would never accept that and doing it with her ex was just another slap in the face to me her father was disappointed by her actions and my decision to act so quickly and decisively when I entered our home I felt like I was going to cry realizing that our happy home was no longer a home but just the shell of our marriage the last 5 years were spent turning our house into the perfect Sanctuary at the time mortgage rates were below 2. 99% and the value of our home had doubled as the account holder I decided to refinance the house for its full value and withdrew almost $500,000 in equity I immediately set up a $200,000 trust fund for each girl's college and a little extra to give them a good start in life we used the remaining $100,000 to upgrade the house turning it into a showcase that we both loved and were proud of thanks to the lower interest rate the monthly payment was only $1,700 higher than before we tapped into the equity it wasn't difficult and Vera went back to work as a secretary to help offset the extra monthly payment I had a good salary nothing crazy but as the newly appointed CFO I was supposed to receive stock options next year which would become our retirement fund Vera was never involved in our finances and didn't care about them as long as she got what she wanted trusting my financial knowledge and living a comfortable life I tried a few times to explain what stock options were but I could see her eyes glaze over and she never really understood since it didn't matter I just laughed to myself at her lack of Interest it was fine I was looking forward to our future this merger which seemed to coincide with the end of my marriage was supposed to bring me a bonus in the form of stock options ranging from 40,000 shares in the event of success of course I would have to wait a few years to exercise the options but the expectation that the stock price would reach $100 per share gave me confidence about the future since the merger was delayed La the stock options would not be part of the divorce settlement I was going to file for irreconcilable differences and simply divide our assets this amounted to about $50,000 in our savings account we would have split the sale of the house but the full use of the mortgage meant that there would be nothing left to divide at 44 years old Vera would leave with her car in $225,000 if she had remained faithful she would have lived a happy life with a secure future her world was about to be shaken because my anger and humiliation had overshadowed all the love and memories that had been buried deep in my soul all I wanted now was revenge and for her to understand what she had given up there is Nightmare I hadn't seen Clayton for 20 years and it brought back so many memories both good and bad he had been a good husband until he cheated on me and ended our marriage that we always had chemistry and great sex but it didn't compare to Tony my husband was much more handsome a great lover and I love him fondly but why am I sitting here with Clayton and letting him touch me and kiss me I know it was wrong but I kept flirting I definitely drank too much but Tony should have been here God I should have been smarter and stopped this but it feels so good for some reason he still felt like a kindred spirit and a little flirting wouldn't hurt anyone besides Clayton is divorced now and Tony didn't bother to change his trip to be here with me where he belongs he knew how important this wedding was to me so I guess I owe it to myself to have a little fun after another kiss I felt warmth inside I remembered those kisses and the way I felt as he held me while we danced it was a secluded spot and everyone was a little tipsy so I was fairly sure no one would see us just a few more kisses and touches nothing more I'd make things right with Tony when he got back my phone buzzed with a text message all my friends were here maybe it was Tony checking in oh God Tony says he's here I don't see him wait is he leaving now damn I need to get to him did he just see me kissing Clayton damn this is bad turning to the embarrassed Clayton I said sorry I need to use the lady's room desperately running out of the reception area I saw the exit door in the hallway close and I ran as fast as I could in my high heels oh God it's Tony and he saw me with Clayton Tony wait please no answer and he just got in his car I tried to run after him but he drove off now he's not answering my calls how many texts have I sent him and he's not responding he's angry angry and I don't blame him after a few more calls and dozens of messages my heart broke when I finally got his only reply go to O hell two of my friends found me kneeling on the street in the freezing cold and asked what happened when I explained it to them they were shocked by my actions and concerned that I had been caught they know that Tony is stubborn and if he had seen us together trouble would have followed Tony 10:00 a. m.
