Something that all women say one time or another, "How do you like me now?"
Later in their marriage, had they not shared the commonality of them both being cheating spouses who were sexually attracted to young, firm flesh, Jay didn't think that his marriage would have survived. With Ruth turning her head from his cheating on her in the way Jay turned his head from her cheating on him, and with one not sexually wanting the other anyway, they both got what they needed from others. They both not only sexually satisfied their horniness but also quelled their jealousy and possessiveness by having sex with strangers. Everything was fine as long as Ruth drank herself drunk, didn't flaunt her extramarital affairs to their neighbors and friends, and/or rub her young boyfriends in his face.
Especially in the beginning when they first met as young, college students, certainly there was much more to Ruth than becoming a cougar addicted to sex and a drunk addicted to alcohol as defined by Jay later in life. Certainly, if she showed those traits then, he never would have even dated her, never mind marrying her. Only, Ruth knew how to play the sexy game of teasing, enticing, and sexual seduction. Giving men what they wanted, what they wanted was sex, she knew how to play men to get what she needed, what she wanted was booze.
With Jay her submissive cuckold of a boyfriend, it was an easy transition to transform him to be her submissive cuckold of a husband. With sex being the prize that she always gave her young lovers, she obviously knew that she wouldn't have to give her husband sex for him to continue supporting her. Obviously, she knew the way to keep him around supporting her was to abuse him and to belittle him. He showed her early on that he liked that. In the way she controlled all of her young lovers as if she was their mother, she did the same with her husband. Only, even though neither one of them were into bondage, sadism, and masochism, she more played the role of his dominatrix than she did his mother.
What happened to her to make her that way, a whore and a drunk? Was she born addicted to cock in the way she was addicted to alcohol? Was it simply because her father was a drunk, she inherited the gene to give her the need for an excessive amount of alcohol too? In the way of the chicken and the egg, was she a whore because she was a drunk or a drunk because she was a whore. What did it matter?
After being married to her all these years and with her cheating on her husband all of these years, did it make a difference now if she was a whore because she was a drunk or a drunk because she was a whore? Who cares? The bottom line is that Ruth is a drunken whore. Too difficult for Jay or for anyone to unravel, Ruth's problems were issues he'd never know the answer to unless she agreed to see a psychiatrist, which she'd never agree to see. If she did see a therapist and if he was a man instead of woman, with her very persuasive in her powers of sexual seduction, she'd probably end up having sex with him.
Yet, Jay, a brilliant man, was a scientist with a Ph.D. in physical chemistry, the study of macroscopic, atomic, subatomic, and the particulate phenomena in chemical systems in terms of the laws and concepts of physics. A trained researcher, he was accustomed to seeing things that others couldn't and didn't. He had a talent for seeing through the smoke, the mirrors, and the bullshit while stating the obvious articulately, simply, concisely, and truthfully and without holding back any punches. Yet seemingly, while hoping for sex, he enjoyed being submissive to his wife's whimsy. Much in the way of how a dog adapts with learned behavior, their sexual peccadilloes that they did in the early stages of their marriage had morphed to become routine and difficult to break habits now.
Certainly, even though he was evidently controlled by Ruth, he was strong enough not to be controlled by her if he didn't want to be controlled by her. Tired of having the same arguments without anything changing to improve their marriage, it was sometimes just easier to go with the flow. Giving into her for the sake of having peace in his life, it was sometimes just easier to relinquish his control to her. Yet, after a while of allowing her to control him, she grew stronger and he grew weaker.
Unfortunately, especially when it came to falling in total lust with Ruth as a 20-year-old man, he hadn't yet developed that skill-set talent of seeing through people and stating the obvious, especially with women, until later in life. As a horny, young man, he had always been a sucker for a shapely, pretty woman. With him addicted to sex early on, a typical guy, he had always been a sucker for big tits, a round ass, a tight pussy, and shapely legs. He had always been a sucker for getting laid and receiving blowjobs.
Instead, of thinking with his big brain, he thought more with his penis. With her such a sexy, conniving, devious bitch and already knowing how to play the sex card to get all that she wanted and needed from him, he was taken in by Ruth's feminine charms. In the way he was sexually abused by his mother, he was sexually abused by his wife too. In the way that he thought his mother was the love of his life, he thought his wife was the love of his life too. With him still blaming himself for the death of his mother after her last act was to have sex with him, it took him 25 years to realize that he didn't need his wife treating him less than he was. With Ruth unable to support herself, unless he gave her a big divorce settlement, she needed him more than he needed her.
Jay knew that his sexual attraction to Ruth and in allowing her to mistreat him had something to do with his mother. He wondered had his mother survived if he could have unraveled his mother's psychological hold on him to explain his wife's psychological hold on him too. Yet, his mother was much nicer than Ruth. His mother wasn't the selfish, drunken, whore of a bitch that Ruth was. His mother would never mistreat him and take advantage of him in the way that Ruth had done and was still doing now. Even if his mother killed herself because they had sex, he cherished the memory of having sex with his mother in the same way that he cherished the memory of having sex with Ruth before they were married.
Ruth was not the same woman he married. As if she was a witch who cast an evil, sexual spell on him, with him nothing more than a toad, he was her helpless frog. As if she was a poisonous spider weaving her web of trickery and deceit, he was her dumb, trapped fly, a fly that she never sucked dry in the way she sucked Christopher dry and all of other, young lovers dry. Instead, with him having sex with other, young women and her having sex with other young men, neither one was willing to rock the boat by filing for a divorce. He was seldom home anyway. Just as what she didn't know he sexually did with woman couldn't be used against him in divorce court, what he didn't know she sexually did with men wouldn't hurt him.
Even though he knew she was a drunk, as long as she wasn't falling down drunk in front of him, their daughter, and/or their neighbors and friends, he didn't care that she drank. Even though he knew she was cheating on him in the way he was cheating on her, unless she rubbed her young lovers in his face, he didn't care about that either. In the way that she closed her eyes to his sexual affairs, he closed his eyes to her sexual affairs too.
With her having no reason to rock the boat, she allowed Jay to live, prosper, and continue to support her while he traveled the country and the world having sex with young women and she had sex with young men. The end result, just as he was no match for her then, he was no match for her now. Had he had the time and the desire, he would have put her in her place but it was easier for him to ignore her and to shun her as if she wasn't even there than to continue to argue with her.
Unfortunately, even brilliant, unsuspecting men can be taken advantage of by wily and insincere women who use sex to tease, entice, and to seduce them for their own personal agendas, financial security, and monetary gain. His fatal flaw, something that goes back to the incestuous, sexual relationship that he enjoyed with his mother, in the way his mother controlled him with the promise of sex, he enjoyed her controlling him with the promise of sex too. If he didn't enjoy being so controlled and wasn't still sexually attracted to her, he would have divorced his wife years ago.
