If once in a time happy marriage turns to a problem marriage the events are usually going to happen after a standard pattern, wife is successful at her job, get bored of her husband and children, envoys her free (divorced) friends, an old boyfriend appears and start courting her, she want him, etc. etc. When shit hit the fan in my marriage, I got it all.
When this story begins my wife Su (Susanna) and I am in our mid thirties and have an average family with two children, six and eight years of age in a Scandinavian county capital. We had no more problems than all others couples we knew. Su and I met almost ten years ago at a party. I was rather drunk and during my attempts to get her to dance with me a large glass of beer fell down in her knee and soiled her new dress. I was impressed of all oaths and names she called me. However, later in the evening when our hostess had given her a new dress and she had calmed down Su accepted my apologies and I got a date with her for buy a new dress. I found out that she was much of my dream girl and we got together as couple and married within six months. We live in a nice house, she now works as department boss at a bank and I have a plumber business with two employed plumbers and one girl in the office. We did well with money and we both had a number of other benefits too so we could afford a good living.
During our last summer holiday we rented a caravan for three weeks on her suggestion and went around to many places of interest for our children, such as Legoland and other amusement parks. A happy family without any quarrels during the whole time. We even succeed to get possibilities for sex several times a week in the caravan when the children slept after a busy day. Su used to tell me how happy she was to spend three weeks with the family so close together.
Then two days after she had began her work again in the middle of the August she came home after work and told me that her holiday had been a boring shit compared with Beth's and Lis' adventures in Cyprus. Young handsome Mediterranean men obeying all wishes and desires they had. Romantic beach partying around bonfires with jolly and happy people. What had she, Su, done? Been in a hot tin as a maid to a lazy man and two spoiled kids.
I tried explaining to her that her two middle-aged divorced friends had paid a lot to those "sand worms" and gigolos in one way or another to get them to pretend that they were young and still lovely "girls". I tried to convince Su that her friends had many reasons to envoy her for a happy family instead of Su to envoy her pathetic friends fucked by hired toy-boys.
During the next days Su calmed down a little and regretted her crap talk about the family but got mad again when I told her the latest news, "You know Peterson, the divorced Lotto-winner, he has been to Thailand during the July and got a gonorrhea, guess who he met at the clinic? Your friend Beth and a red-haired friend to her, who must been Lis. You really must envoy their souvenirs from Cyprus, don't you? Poor you who didn't got any toy-boy cock disease."
She got mad and remained so for a week. Then she came home one evening and told me that she had got good news at the bank, her old school friend Rutger von Birgermann was back in town and had got a job at her bank. Not so good news for me, indeed, this Rutger was a noble man, a baron, but poor as a church mouse. His father had gambled away their old castle and Rutger had lost the rest of the once in time important family fortune. Rutger had thereafter now and then been found responsible for the disappearing of other people's property and therefore spent some time in custody of the government in a place we simple people use to call jail. A real asshole, but well manned and a baron even that such a title nowadays doesn't mean anything at all for most people but still a few fools may get impressed. Before I met Su he had dated her a few times but she had never been the "one and only" for him. Nobody had to be an Einstein to count out that when such a con man found a pretty old flame in Su's position in a bank he intended use her for his intentions, what ever they are. And when a con man wants to fool a woman, her pussy is usually a short cut to his intentions. I couldn't resist my disgust and tell her, " So that asshole is out of jail again. And your bank is the right place for a swindler."
"You are mad. He didn't get any lifetime sentence for his petty faults and must have a new chance. You are jealous because he is a handsome man."
"Petty faults? That damn crook has ruined lot of people. Who is mad? Who dreams about gigolos, toy-boys and jailbirds? Your new idols are a bit disgusting characters."
She got really mad. Hardly spoke to me for a week again and all thoughts about sex with her had to be cancelled. She was a good mom to our children but a bitch against me. Hadn't been for the kids, she's been out of the house.
Then things got even worse. My plumber business is using another bank than Su's and therefore a sales man in her bank called me at my job. After the usual talk about what benefits they could offer me, he asked why I didn't want to go with Su to their big Christmas party.
"What party? Su must forgotten to tell me about it."
Then he told me that the bank had rented a sport hall and a catering company will make half of it to a first class restaurant and a well supplied bar. The other half will be a ballroom with the best band in the country. Of course, all spouses were invited and he had been surprised when he found out that Su had signed up to go alone without me.
I told him, "Many thanks for the invitation, please put me on the list, I'm coming with Su."
What a bitch, not a word to me about the party. The simple reason why the bank skipped the usual hotel was the scandals last year. One of the board members in the bank got severely beaten when a jealous husband found him fucking his wife in a room at the hotel. One other room was used for rape and gang banging of a totally drunk young secretary. The bank had to pay large amounts to avoid serious public scandals but they could not avoid some bad rumors circulating in town. Su and I left the party early and didn't see any trouble.
When I came home that evening I told her that I've got invited to her bank party and looked forward to go there and we were expected to arrive and leave together. She got totally mad and shouted, "You damn bastard, don't dare to spoil that party for me."
"I'm invited and I'm going. Period."
My marriage was a now a total mess but I decided to keep it lasting over the holiday season and take the necessary steps in January. However, Su and I went together to the bank party at the end of November. She was gorgeous that evening and at the dinner she acted as we still were a loving couple. The catering company did a great job and the dinner was really great. We were placed at a table for eight together with some of the other semi bosses at the bank with their wives. I even got a beginning hope of peace with Su but she had other plans. As soon as the dinner was over and she had danced the first dance with her partner at the table she left me and joined Rutger, the "Swindler baron" at the bar.
After a while Su, Rutger, Beth and Lis were sitting together with two younger guys at a table for six. Su didn't pretend to see me when I came to the bar for a drink and shouted a rude "Piss off" when I asked her for a dance. I was nothing but air for her. But Rutger wasn't. They now and then necked as teenagers both in the bar and at the dance floor. I'm keen on dancing and danced almost every dance and had a good time with the single girls at the bar and noticed that at slow tunes Rutger's right hand began to find it's way under the hem of Su's short dress. I saw that other people noted it too and I had to do something about it or to be regarded as a wimp.
My chance came when I saw Rutger left the table and headed for the men's room. I followed him and in there I hit him hard in his belly and took a hard grip of his right arm and told him, "Asshole, if I see your hand under my wife's skirt one more time, I'll break this arm." then I hit him one more time in the belly and left for the bar.
Rutger didn't look well when he came back to the bar after a long time. I was standing at bar desk chatting with Anne-Marie, a pleasant girl I met during the evening, when Su came to me and talked to me for the first time since she refused to dance with me. She was angry as a bee and shouted, "What the hell did you do to Rutger in the men's room?"
"Promised to break his arm if I'll see his hand under your skirt again. I'm trying save you from a scandal. Don't you understand that people have been looking at you, a married department boss necking as a shameless slut with that damn jailbird? Your boss asked me to do something."
He had not. But Su calmed down and understood that she's got a bit too far in her efforts to humiliate me. She left me without further talk and I told Anne-Marie that my marriage with Su had got to the last chapter.
Anne-Marie was at the party as escort to her newly divorced cousin who works at the bank. Even she had newly left her cheating boyfriend and had a five years old daughter. We spent the rest of the evening together. I even danced the last dance with Anne-Marie and we decided to keep in touch in the future. Of some reason Su and Rutger remained at the table waiting for Beth and Lis instead of dance the last dance.
After the dance I went to the table where Su and Rutger were sitting and told her, "Hello darling, it's time to take night."
