Reading Instructions
1) This is a very long story. It's longer even than Chapter 1. If you don't like long stories, please don't read it.
2) I would suggest reading Chapter 1 first.
3) This is a story about unfaithful wives. If you don't like reading stories about unfaithful wives -- I do totally understand -- please - just don't read it.
4) Nobody punishes the wives for being unfaithful. If you don't like reading stories about wives who don't get punished -- please -- just don't read it. Don't let this get you angry. It's not worth it.
5) Both Victoria and Mary-anne and Angela are real people. The story is basically true, but from my point of view.
6) I'm happy to hear your comments, good or bad. I'll do my best to respond.
From an outsider's point of view, one can look at marriage as the beginning of the end. Routines become set. The relationship and its trappings become one big, stifling security blanket. Maybe that's not true for every marriage. But it sure seems like it.
I'm sure we've all seen the good-looking man who after getting married starts putting on the weight. I know I've seen women simply lose their spark after marriage. The clothing they wore when dating gets discarded or put at the back of the closet. The styles become more conservative.
I think this happens to a lot of people and they often don't realize it. For most, they will never realize it. It's like they've stopped breathing; or stopped living. They let their daily routines take over their lives in an act of subliminal surrender. The rest of their lives is about passing time.
I have fought, all my life, against such a slide into irrelevance. I know I'm not immortal. But I will fight. It's just in my nature.
Victoria presented me with an opportunity. It so very clearly wasn't just about emptying my balls into her (or onto her). The mechanics of sex, at this point in my life, are mundane. I'm still very capable of masturbating. And so, the act of ejaculation in itself isn't enormously important to me. It' getting all the details right that matters.
Victoria, like so many other people, had built a solid routine for life. If things didn't change, she'd have stuck in that routine for the rest of her life.
She worked. She worked out. She spent time with her very nice husband. She saw her family. She saw her friends. She took a summer trip every year to see other members of her family. She stopped exploring - or -- to put it better, she stopped exploring, in particular, herself. Every person I've ever known is their own undiscovered country.
The pandemic brought Victoria to life. There was nothing in that routine of hers that could handle the financial pressures the pandemic was suddenly placing on her. It took people to a place outside the box. Her husband wasn't responding to the crisis. But let's not blame him -- he simply couldn't figure out a response, and like an ostrich, stuck his head in the sand. That's a part of human nature.
The pandemic meant Victoria had to make a decision -- a decision to leave that routine that otherwise would have gone on, for her, indefinitely. It put her on a path of self-discovery.
Before I knew she was even on this path, it was clear she was putting thought into it. That internal decision process must have gone something like this: What are my options that will allow me to preserve as much of my built-up routine as possible? It was very much about self-preservation. The instincts in your DNA kick in.
Victoria wanted to go back to work full-time. It just wasn't yet an option. And so, she had to figure out a way to survive until such a time as it was an option. She wanted to continue to work out at her gym for as long as it remained open to the public. She wanted to keep going home to her husband. She wanted to continue to see her family and friends. She wanted to maintain her lifestyle.
To keep what she wanted to keep, it was clear to her she needed financial help. Other avenues were closed to her. You couldn't get a job as a waitress or at a bar -- the pandemic shut down these avenues. And such a job, even if they were there to be had, would impact her routine in ways she wouldn't want.
Don't judge her. She's thought this out. If I were in her shoes and could convince some woman to pay me for sex, I'd probably do the same. I'd prefer that to selling the place where I live or sacrificing my gym membership.
If she wanted the least impact on her routine, I suspect she'd have been best off going to some sugar-dating website and go to the highest bidder. But there are obvious risks in doing that, that going to me didn't pose.
My great luck was to be the right person in the right position at the right time.
