I have to know. Some friends are saying I'm overreacting. Don't get them wrong, they agree I was shit upon big time and my rage was justified. They point out I've allowed my anger to take total control of me. The person I was no longer exists. If I'd only calm down, lose the anger, rationalise, I could rediscover myself, move forward. Sounds simple, doesn't it.
To move forward, I need to want too. In truth, I have no interest in building a new future.
Why I am like this? What happened is that I lost the love of my life and my dream job in one crushing moment of utter madness.
Beth is apparently devastated I have left her. I refuse to have anything to do with her despite many pleading on her behalf. She no longer exists in my world. Due to those involved in the event which destroyed my world, I left my dream job. My boss says he will keep it open but I know it's not forever.
My friends feel because of the love we had before this, if we even spoke, it could help me, both of us. Some think it may be possible to rebuild my marriage. How the fuck can anyone see that? I don't. I fucking don't! If it's ever mentioned, I lose what little control I have. I've lost quite a few friends because of it. They say when I'm calmer they'll be there for me. They hate who I have become. I've lost my pride in being the best I could be. I'm not the go to guy for help, advice anymore. I'm so negative and angry. They point out how my view of women has changed. As far as I'm concerned every woman is a slut in waiting. That's the sanitised version!
Am I happy? Not a chance! I'm as miserable as I think it is ever possible to be. Death would be a release from this pain, this vast emptiness inside me. I can't forgive, forget or bear to be around her or reminded about her. Anytime I think about what happened, I want to lash out. It stokes the rage within until I explode. There is no light in my world anymore. I exist, nothing more!
It doesn't help that I'm in this position due to the love we had for each other. I'm sure that may confuse you so I'll explain. Maybe you have an answer?
My name is Ben. I'm definitely average. Fair to middling looks, brown hair, all my own teeth. I do a little gym work as I sit most of the day. I did do industrial design for large companies. They have a project and look to the firm I worked for to help design and bring together the teams to construct. It can be very demanding if you are trying not to blow up the rest of the plant while building or deconstructing pieces which may or may not be connected.
I was recruited to the firm by Jim Strachan, the father of the recent temporary CEO, his obnoxious son William. I was twenty-two and just out of university. Jim's firm helped a few students each year with work experience and even jobs over the holidays. I'd worked with them. The whole place was a happy place to work. Jim made sure the staff were put first as they were the important people. He was always interested in you, how your course was going and how could the firm work better for us. Jim offered me a job and I gratefully accepted. The firm has a great reputation for excellence as well as training staff.
I met Beth on a night out with some work colleagues when she came along with a couple of the girls who worked with us. We found ourselves together a couple of times so spoke. She was lovely and very pleasant. Over a few nights out we'd meet and speak together. Our conversations soon made the evening for me. We laughed as we each told the other, we'd been looking for them. I asked her out for a date as I saw the life behind her eyes. She was intelligent, funny and passionate on various subjects like the climate crisis, supporting the local food bank and St Johnstone. I only played football at school as you had to. I have no ability. I did attend matches with her. I learned she had another side. The expletives she knew astounded me.
The more time we spent together the more we discussed a future together. We had similar dreams. We both wanted a family, a good, varied sex life but only with ourselves involved. She showed her passions did extend to our sex life which was by far the best of the admittedly small amount of such encounters I'd ever had. Eighteen months later and we were married.
I don't like to dwell on Beth as it makes me inconsolable, tears flow like rivers. Beth is lovely. At five foot five, blond hair to mid back, blue eyes, a smile which makes you happy when she looks at you. She doesn't like her "36C" cup breasts. I loved them. She thinks her areolas are too large and she hates her nipples expand so much. I'd tell her, it gave me more of her to love and nibble. She has a flat stomach which led to a blond honey pot. She kept her labia lips bare as she loved me to tongue her. I loved to as well. She tasted so divine. Her long legs looked fantastic in stockings which she wasn't adverse to wearing. Oh, how I miss them caress my head as I ate her out! She was well versed in making me erupt when she blew me. Her pussy was tight, hot and could make me cum whether I wanted to or not. We spent so long pleasuring each other we were often tired at work the next day.
Beth is an accountant at an accountancy firm which provides services to multiple small businesses.
We did a lot of practicing for our family. We roleplayed many different scenarios. It was all good fun. One caused a neighbour in our block of flats to have a right good chuckle. Devon has spoken about it a few times but only with us. He's an A & E doctor. One night he came home after a rougher day than usual to find me rescuing Beth, carrying her outside in her sheer nightie. I was dressed as a fireman. Beth hadn't seen him until we were past him as she was facing the other way. She gasped. Devon didn't look back but shouted, "A definite 10!" It had really brightened his day.
She came like an express train as I resuscitated her pussy before fucking her at the back of the block. She was nervous but excited when we headed back upstairs, hugging each other tightly. She wanted to be seen but she didn't! That sheer nightie didn't cover much of anything. From what was slowly running down her thighs, I'd never cum as much! Following that the fireman always had tissues in his pocket.
When I was twenty-six, Jim stepped back from the firm as his wife Moira was ill. He wanted to be there for her through her treatment. William took over, though for the big decisions Jim would come in and give his final approval.
William and I did not get along well from my early days in the firm. I caught a man, old enough to know better, forcing himself on a young girl on the secretarial floor. He wouldn't take no for an answer. She tried to fight his unwanted advances off. As he was hauling her in to kiss her, I grabbed him and pulled him away from her. He was utterly pissed off and tried to punch me but I blocked it before I decked him with one of my best ever punches. I left him in no uncertain terms that if he tried any such behaviour again, I'd break quite a few bones in his body. It was later I was told who I had hit.
Jim heard about it. I expected to have my work experience cancelled. Jim was on my side and we all heard him tearing William a new arsehole. Ever since if he can he likes to try and goad me. He doesn't like some of my replies. It didn't help when Jim promoted me to a middle-ranked role on one of our teams just prior to his taking the time off. William had wanted a friend who would cover for him.
Once he was the boss, he started making it his business to try and fuck with me. He should have known I wouldn't accept that. I was responsible for a part of a large project so when he stepped up in a meeting with the client and proceeded to talk a load of shit. I stood up, apologised to them and said, "He'd obvious been misinformed about the project." I set out what was needed for my part.
Afterwards he went for me calling me every name under the sun. I just smiled. Before I left, I handed in my resignation. My reputation was now such, I could have a new job within hours of the word I was available getting out.
