Dear Readers,
This is an experimental attempt to write a story in the Loving Wives category. I know it doesn't teem with originality but I think there are interesting twists in it. I wanted to portray a husband who isn't a whining wimp when he discovers his wife's infidelity. He is sure of himself and acts accordingly. Please let me know what you think about it. Any suggestion is highly welcomed. I'm ready to write a sequel but it depends on a fair amount of demanding comments or mails. Sorry, no sex so far in this story.
This part was kindly edited by Eric. Great job. Thank you.

Gary Young was somehow disgusted with himself for the lack of hurt or consternation after he had found out by accident that his wife of fifteen years had started an affair with a twenty year old college student a week ago. Had he already accepted that his marriage was dead beyond repair? Why should he mourn a life with his wife who obviously had no second thought to throw him to the sharks?
However, there were their children, an eleven year old boy and a thirteen year old daughter, to take into consideration. He believed he still loved his wife, but he was a thirty-eight-year old strong business owner who analyzed every dangerous situation carefully. Gary discovered that he had the ability to put the love for his wife in the background of his mind where it didn't bother him much.
His stupid wife had probably never thought this out. He was sure she had taken him for granted. What a terribly wrong guess because he was undoubtedly not the man to make a martyr out of himself to save a sexless marriage. Furthermore, he had already found compensation for what his unfaithful wife was doing to him.
Since he started his own business three years ago he had worked his ass off to make it a success. Now one week ago his thriving business was able to hire two new employees who would enable him to reduce his workload considerably. He was never given any indication that something was wrong at the home front. His wife had never complained he was working so hard. He had to find out the hard way that his assessment was wrong.
Gary had to admit he was often tired when he came home from work, but he always made it a point to make love to his wife once during the week and often twice on weekends. He bought her small presents and often flowers. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to hinder her to hook up with a young, energetic college guy.
As their affair already lasted three months with no end on the horizon he confronted his wife one Friday evening after their two kids were in bed. While watching a show on the tube Gary nonchalantly asked Linda, his wife of the same age as he, "Honey, I would really like to know how you intend for the future to harmonize your affair with Brendan Foster with your married life. Another strange question I have is whether you have really not registered that we stopped having sex after you started your fling? I for sure never asked for it again, and obviously you weren't worried about it. God only knows which STDs those promiscuous college guys carry around."
To say that Linda was shocked was an understatement because she was on the way to pass out. Like most cheating women she had never contemplated her husband would find out. She tried to get her wits in order as she defensively croaked out, "Gary, it doesn't...," but he immediately stopped her in his calm voice.
"Linda, don't bullshit me. I don't want to hear it meant nothing to you and it was only sex. I know how much you enjoyed your sex sessions; how many times he made you cum. Don't try to pull my leg that it meant nothing to you. I have audio and video which clearly show how much you liked to be with him. By the way, it's not a nice remark to designate your husband as a mediocre lover. Furthermore, my informant had briefed me that each session lasted for at least three hours so the term quickie wasn't appropriate as well.
"I have been informed you visited him 24 times so far during the last three months. My God, he must be really good. Furthermore, I learned you have no intention to end it anytime soon. The only thing that works in your advantage is the fact that you were already at home when the kids came back after soccer practice.
"Yes, soccer practice for boys and girls each Tuesday and Thursday worked in your favor because they wouldn't come home before 5 pm. I know the two times they had to call your cell that soccer practice was cancelled. You magically managed to be at home before they arrived with the schoolbus. I bet you had to stuff something in your panties to prevent his cum from leaking out of your pussy. It must have been frightening not being able to shower before going home or before the kids arrived. I don't know how you hid the sex smell of your adultery from the children.
"I have only one DVD of your third meeting, and I watched it only for ten minutes to see why you choose to betray me. I expected to see a pornstar sized dick of your lover. I was dreadfully disappointed he was even a little smaller built than me. I had to omit one of the common reasons to have an affair. C'mon, reveal to me the reason why you did it. You know I can endure a lot. You can't destroy my ego because I found a way to keep it working."
Linda thought to take it easy on Gary and told him how they met at a bookstore, how he charmed her out of her defense. His good looks and great young body had carried her away. They ended fucking in his dorm room.
"Linda, I know all of that, but I don't know why you continued fucking him. Could you explain this to me more precisely?"
She was now in a quandary, but she knew she couldn't get out of it without telling him something. "Gary, I think the reason why I succumbed to him was that our sex life wasn't that good lately."
