hello and welcome to Lost Love Chronicles I wish when I got married that there was some sort of manual to tell me when a marriage goes bad my name is Chris and I was always taught that when a man gets married he is expected to do whatever it takes to provide for his family I know nowadays that has changed somewhat as I see many more working couples or the woman as the main bread winner When Stacy and I got married I was the one with a good job and a bright future at the company I work for now my job did require me to work some late nights weekend and even take a few business trips but this was part of my job and Stacy did not seem to have any issues with it she did work those first few years we were married but when our son Jason was born she became a stay-at-home mom we have a nice house and a good neighborhood with good schools and some great Neighbors at that time other than my work schedule everything was perfect I had a great wife a growing family and a job that I enjoyed and that allowed me to support them the trouble began when we had our second child you see we had some some difficulty conceiving Jason and the doctor told me I had a low sperm count we were told we could still have children we just had to try a little harder I had no problem with that as my wife and I had a very healthy and fun sex life well within 3 years of Jason being born Michelle came along it was a bit of an unexpected surprise but a welcomed one after her birth we decided not to have any more children as Stacy said taking care of them was a full-time job in and of itself as time went on we did have our problems and arguments like any couple but we were always able to talk them out and come to some sort of resolution then there was a period of Time When Stacy had some woman issues and went to see a specialist as it turned out it was nothing serious as she put it but we couldn't have sex for a while as much as I had asked her she never told me exactly what the problem was but would only say I didn't need to worry about it now looking back maybe I should have been suspicious then I still work long hours at my job but it's starting to pay off as I've been getting a promotion almost every 3 to 4 years at this rate I'll be director of manufacturing for my company within a year or two and I know my hours will decrease so I'll be able to spend more time with my family Jason has just turned 17 and is less than a year from graduating high school while Michelle is just about to start both of them are natural athletes I like to think they get that from me Jason is a star on his school's baseball team and Michelle loves soccer but also plays softball they're good students and both are very popular each of them has many friends Jason has had a few girlfriends Michelle is just at the point to start dating God help me Stacy had been hinting that she would like to go back to work since Jason will be heading off to college soon and Michelle is old enough to be on her own this didn't sound like a bad idea as my wife did have a point so I said it would be fine as long as it didn't interfere with our family schedule she found a job at the mall working part-time as a salesperson for a major department store this had the added benefit of allowing her to get the employee discount it had been a few months since she had started working so one day I was scheduled for an all day meeting with one of our suppliers but it was canceled at the last minute since my office is a short drive from the mall where my wife works I decided to surprise her by taking a long lunch and pay her a visit I knew she worked in the jewelry department and off I went once there I looked around hoping she would come over to assist me in finding something nice for my wife but there was no sign of her when the young woman behind the counter asked if I needed any help I asked is Stacy working today oh no she is not scheduled to be in until tomorrow she cheerfully replied as soon as possible I need to start making hotel reservations and so on when do you think you can ask her he pulled his cell phone from his pocket I'll call her now since she is still home and doesn't have to be at work until 8:00 a. m. he made the call as I listened to his side of the conversation then hung up she said she can fax over her schedule for the month later this morning how is that he smiled perfect just perfect thanks Sam and thank your lovely wife for me too it was about an hour later I had my wife's work schedule and noticed she has only been working 10 to 12 hours a week she had told me her hours were 18 to 25 per week why was she lying I had a cold shill run through me as I thought of possible reasons I didn't have time to ponder what was going on with my wife as I had meetings to attend throughout the day I had a hard time focusing on my job more than a few times I caught myself staring off into space trying to get a handle on what my wife was up to after the last meeting of the day I went to my office and closed the door I studied my wife's schedule and even created a spreadsheet then downloaded it to my iPhone what was she doing when she was not at work I had to find out so I got online and started to look for a way to track my wife's movements soon I had a list of items that would do the job plus a few other things that might come in handy I didn't want these items showing up on our credit card or bank statements so on the way home I paid for and cash a prepaid debit card the following day I ordered all the items I would need and had them Shi to the office it would take a few days for them to arrive so now I had to come up with a plan and what I would do if I found out the worst so sitting at my computer I created a list of possible explanations as to why my wife was lying to me about her work schedule at the top of the list was infidelity if that was true then our marriage was in serious trouble but I still had a hard time believing she would cheat on me our marriage was good or at least I thought it was the sex had dropped off over time but we still made love two to three times a week okay maybe it was a little boring or predictable but was that any reason for her to cheat by the following week the items I had ordered arrived at work now all I had to do was put them in place I had ordered a tracking device for her car that I could use either with my iPhone or iPad to see where she goes I also received a few voice recorders that are voice activated in several spy cameras that would be placed in our bedroom and a good digital camera camera with a powerful Zoom looking at all these items gave me a sick feeling that our marriage had come to this I was now about to spy on my wife to see if she was cheating God I hoped I was wrong about this but I just had so much doubt that I had to know one way or the other the next morning I was up a little earlier than normal and placed a voice recorder and the tracking device in my wife's car after that was done I went to work and once there I reviewed her work schedule to see when she would be out of the house I saw she wasn't on for today but decided to call her and asked if she was working I picked up my office phone and hit speed dial ion I just got into work but forgot to ask you if you were working today oh um yes I am but I'll be home before you she lied again okay just checking hope you have a good day at work love you I had a hard time getting that last phrase out with the tracking device in her car I'd be able to see where she went I could then head home and set up the spy cameras and the other voice recorders to see if she was bringing this St into our bed the thought made me angrier than at any time that I could remember she had to pay for her betrayal of me and our children during the morning I checked my iPad to see if she had left the house it wasn't until around 10:00 a.
m. that I saw she was on the Move now I thought was a good time to place the rest of the items I told my Administrative Assistant that I needed to go home for a few hours and that I'd be back after lunch soon I was placing the devices around our bedroom to get the best view but keep them from being detected with everything in place and tested I decided to see where Stacy was I checked my iPod and saw she was at the mall maybe she did have to go into work today I figured I'd stop by and surprise her again I pulled into the mall parking lot and found her car parked way in the back away from the store she works in I thought that was strange I pulled out the new digital camera and took a few pictures I found a parking space close to the store and went straight to the jewelary department once there I saw the same young woman who waited on me the last time hello I was wondering wondering if Stacy is working today I'm sorry sir but she quit last week she said it was interfering with her family life is there anything I can do for you she smiled uhoh no no thank you I was angry beyond words if Stacy had been anywhere near me at that moment I would have slapped her how could she lie to me so easily now the thought came to me that this has been going on for a while but for how long and with whom I was going to find out and make her and her lover pay I decided not to go back to work I picked spot in the parking lot where I could watch her car but not be seen by her the zoom on my camera allowed me to observe from a safe distance and if necessary record what would take place when she did finally come back to her car it was almost 2: p. m.
when a car pulled up next to hers I watched her get out of the passenger side I saw her lean down say something and smiled that simple Act made my blood boil I took several pictures of her and the car she got out of I did not see the driver's face I did notice the car had dealer plates on it there are only a handful of car dealers in the area and it shouldn't be too hard to track that car down I thought by now she had driven off presumably to go home I sat there thinking of what I just witnessed I decided to drive by a few of those dealerships to see if I could spot the car leaving the parking lot I drove towards some of the car dealerships soon I saw the signs and flags promising big savings or new models it wasn't a new car I was looking for but the lover my wife was spending time with I looked at several car lots but I could not spot the car I saw earlier I wasn't about to get out of my car because that might tip off the screwing my wife then it came to me I still hadn't really seen anything that proved they were lovers I needed to catch them in the ACT but how this problem would have to wait as I Was preparing for a 3-day business trip to a customer the following week and I needed to keep my head on straight I arrived home at my usual time and all appeared normal reminding my wife of the trip I decided to lie again sorry Han but they decided to extend our stay for the whole week I should be back by Saturday afternoon I hope that won't be a problem for you no that should be fine she smiled I just knew she was planning on spending time with her lover I hop that I could catch them in the act and put an end to it once and for all I went to bed and pretended to sleep while my mind tried to solve this problem when I went to work the next morning I pushed that problem to the back of my mind and focused on my work the week went by quickly I was due to fly out on Sunday afternoon my son asked if he could drive me to the airport I could tell something was on his mind as I drove what's up Slugger you seem awfully quiet is something bothering you he cleared his throat I'm dad I don't know how to tell you this but I thought you needed to know Mom is having well she is having he was having difficulty getting the word out so I helped him she is having an affair yes I know is that what you wanted to tell me he looked at me with a mix of surprise and sadness are you going to divorce her I don't know yet how did you find out she was seeing someone else a few weeks ago my baseball practice was cancelled due to rain and I came home a few hours early it was coming down pretty hard so when I got home they didn't hear me come in the house but I heard them I went up to your bedroom and saw the two of them I was so shocked I didn't know what to do so I went to a friend's house and came back a few hours later he was gone and it looked like Mom had taken a shower I saw the tears in his eyes as he told me God I wanted to kill her at that moment does Michelle know he shook his head no I don't think so and I'm sure as hell not going to tell her you know her and her temper good because I'm hoping I can save our marriage and our family just try and act normal around your mother and sister and if you need to talk just call me okay we got to the airport and I hugged my son be strong okay and look after Michelle call me if you feel the need to talk with that I found my co-workers we checked in and soon boarded our flight the trip was productive as we closed a huge deal with a new customer it took us several days of meetings and negotiations to get the deal signed but it worked out well for both parties the last day and we were out having a late lunch celebrating when I got a frantic call from Jason D you need to come home now there was panic in his voice what's wrong what happened now I was in a panic it's Michelle she found out about Mom's Affair and well it wasn't pretty you better get home is she hurt what happened he would tell me just get home soon please I excused myself and said I had a family emergency and checked out of the hotel once at the airport I got the next available flight home it was only a 2-hour flight but it felt like a lifetime as soon as I was on the ground Jason was there to meet me okay what the hell happened how did Michelle find out about your mom's Affair Jason looked at me pretty much the same way I did but she took matters into her own hands her softball practice had been cancelled and she went home early she found the two of them together in bed de like I did the only difference is she took a baseball bat to his sorry ass I looked at Jason in shock but he had a big ass grin on his face he won't be walking for a while and I doubt very much he'll ever have sex again she what I said in disbelief it seems from what Michelle told me before the police took her into custody that they were in the heat of passionate love making when she walked in on them she was as shocked as I was but also mad as hell about it so she went back to her room grabbed her softball bat and began beating the crap out of this guy once she was satisfied with the damage she'd inflicted she dialed 911 and said she caught a criminal attacking her mother and that they should send the cops and paramedics I had just gotten home by then and I could hear the poor bastard crying in pain upstairs once the cops arrived they questioned mom Michelle and this guy Kevin Michelle stuck to her story that since it wasn't her father screwing her mom it had to be forced so she took what she thought to be appropriate measures to stop him Jason couldn't stop smiling smiling this isn't funny then I started to laugh when we got home I found Stacy sitting on the couch looking like I went over to her and took her in my arms it's okay baby it's okay we'll get through this I know this has been very traumatic but I'm sure with some consoling you'll be fine I was playing up the assault theme so she wouldn't suspect I knew the truth she shuttered oh God then she began to cry I turned to Jason where is Michelle now she is still at the police station I wasn't sure what to do I got up pulled out my phone and called our family lawyer I told him what happened I asked if he could recommend a good lawyer for this situation he said they had one in their firm and that he would meet me at the police station within the hour then I took Jason aside to talk with him so Stacy couldn't hear us I don't want your mother to know that we know about her Affair as far as we're concerned Michelle was going after a criminal okay he smiled got it you need to stay here and comfort her I'm going to get Michelle and bring her home I was at the police station taking with the desk officer and waiting for the lawyer Sunni showed up looking all lawyerly in his suit and tie we proceeded to get Michelle released from what I was told Kevin wanted to press charges against Michelle for assault I asked if my wife was pressing charges against Kevin for assault I was told no I knew I had her between a rock and a hard place if she didn't press charges then she would have to admit the affair and Michelle might go to jail if she did press charges Kevin most certainly would say they were having an affair and Michelle might very well go to jail anyway I felt a mix of Pride and sadness for Michelle I was proud that she was trying to protect her mother from an alleged assault and sad that she had to find out this way about the affair I knew right then and there our marriage was over it took several hours but Michelle was released to me with the promise to appear in court within the next few days I hugged my daughter hard as she cried I'm sorry Daddy but I had to stop him she sobbed it's okay baby you did the right thing and I'm so proud proud of you I was crying now can we go home now you bet sweetie you bet as soon as we were home Jason gave Michelle a big hug when she came in the door how are you doing she sniffed better now that I'm home I looked around the living room where is your mother she went to lie down that Michelle spat when you divorce her sorry ask can I live with you both Jason and I looked at Michelle on honey who said I was going to divorce your mother well I just figured since she has been cheating on you for over a year you'd want to get a divorce both Jason and I looked at her what I heard them talking before I took batting practice on him oh and I don't think HEK be having sex anytime soon if ever again she smiled I just had to laugh I need to talk with your mother first so hold off on the divorce talk why don't you guys get to bed it's been a busy day for all of us I went upstairs and found Stacy lying face down on our bed fast asleep I grabbed some clothes and went to sleep in the spare bedroom it was late and I didn't see any point in waking her to hear her side of the story sleep didn't come easy but it did come the next morning I woke up at about 10:00 a. m.
