Josie Burns nee Williams and I (Bret Burns) had been married for six years and were both 29 when life threw me a curveball.
I was a child actor, appearing in many TV commercials, print ads, and even bit parts in a few TV shows, and when my athletic participation allowed it was in a few High School and Community Theater plays. That background allowed me to deal with life's curveball without going bonkers.
Josie has model good looks and was the star at both foil and saber of the Tufts University Division III (non-scholarship) fencing team. I still weigh the same as when I was one of the stars of the MIT Division III volleyball team, and by working out regularly have almost the same muscle tone. Shortly after graduating college we got married. At the time of our six year anniversary we had a very good life, both gainfully employed and though far from wealthy comfortable as far as material things were concerned. We had what I considered a completely satisfying -- both physically and emotionally -- active sex life. We also had a good cadre of friends and acquaintances.
To give context, it is necessary to provide information about three married couples that we knew at the time I was pitched a curveball.
John and Denise Fuller are both a year younger than Josie and me and were among our best friends. Both are nice looking and into physical fitness. Denise is the same height as John, five feet eleven inches (1.8 meters).
Larry and Heather Davidson are two years, and a year, respectively, older than Josie and me, and were good friends. Although definitely not a requirement for our friends, they are also both good looking. Larry is also into physical fitness, Heather into dance. Heather is about a foot shorter than Larry's six feet two inches (1.88 meters).
Tim and Caroline Pruitt are two years older, and two years younger, respectively, than Josie and me and were casual acquaintances. Both are nice looking. Tim is from old money and is really into cars, boats, and planes, or almost anything else that can transport people. Caroline is from a middle class background and is an aspiring artist and -- something that I didn't find out until much after the curveball that I was thrown -- into martial arts. I believe that she has a blue belt in Taekwondo and has also briefly studied karate, judo, and Brazilian jujitsu; she is five feet nine inches (1.75 meters) tall.

Josie and I were at a party at Larry and Heather's house, along with about ten other married couples, two unmarried couples, and a few single men and women. There was an impromptu volleyball game in the backyard of their four bedroom house and since I was the volleyball guru and Denise was the tallest woman we was drafted to play together against three men and three women on the other team (6-2 doesn't seem fair does it, especially since I was not allowed to spike the ball).
After two rollicking fun games, one which we won and won which we lost, Denise and I took a break while a group of other players took our spot. I was getting Denise a glass of white wine and myself a can of club soda when I heard a voice that sure sounded like John's say "I can't wait to munch your carpet again as a prelude to a game of hide the salami," followed by a laugh that sounded suspiciously like Josie's. Stunned, I plastered myself against the wall and moved slowly to the corner between the kitchen and a hall leading to the bathroom and peeked around the edge. I was just in time to see John pinch Josie's ass while she was headed toward the bathroom. I saw him watch her bubble butt proceed down the hallway. Just as he was about to turn and head my way I bolted into another room.
I was shaken -- but like I said I was an accomplished actor in days gone by and one never losses that talent -- therefore I was able to maintain my cool when I brought Denise her glass of wine while she was talking to a couple I didn't know, After Denise thanked me with a big smile I simply shook the hands of the couple she was talking to and then begged off a conversation in lieu of returning to the volleyball game.
During the rest of the party I tried to think of anything aside from the curveball I had just been pitched and for the most part was successful. But for that incident I would have had a great time; as it was my smiles and laughs were faked.
As we drove the short distance home, Josie and I had a light conversation about the party and the new people we had met there. As we approached our driveway she got amorous, which was not unusual after a party. While my mind was still reeling from the curveball Josie is a very sexy woman and I saw no need not to accommodate her. As a matter of fact since she was all over me as we entered the front door of our ranch house I literally ripped her shorts and panties off, bent her over a padded chair in our living room, and immediately penetrated her moist pussy with my hard dick. We had very nice substantially simultaneous organisms, after which I carried her to our bedroom, we took a shower together, and then we had a very satisfying missionary position fuck before we fell asleep in each other's arms. I put my angst off for tomorrow.
Since my BSc degree from MIT is in electrical engineering and computer science I had no problem finding the equipment that I needed to determine whether or not what I heard Josie and John talking about at the party was fact or fantasy. If it was fantasy I wouldn't like it that John was so gross and comfortable as to talk to Josie like he did but I'd get over it. If it was fact, that was another matter; I believe that monogamy is a critical feature of being married and unless the marriage contract is broken there is no place for sexual relations of any kind with others.
************
The exact names and capabilities of the high-tech equipment that I utilized -- most of which was too expensive to purchase but which I could easily borrow from my workplace -- would bore those of you without an engineering background so I will forgo discussing it. Suffice it to say that it only took two months to find out that not only was Josie having sexual relations with John, but also with Larry and Tim. During my two month period of observation she had two liaisons each with John and Tim, and one with Larry; that is an average of one every twelve days.
The good news -- if there could be any under such circumstances -- was that Josie didn't bad mouth me, it was clear that she completely cleaned up afterward including by douching, and there was no difference in her desire to have sex with me, or to snuggle or cuddle.
The bad news -- they didn't use condoms, requiring me to get STD tests, which fortunately were negative.
One may legitimately ask how I could go two months and not do anything about it and not reveal my knowledge. My answer would be that I was, in fact, a trained actor and I was also calculating and wanted to have everything in order before I exposed her. Fortunately, the circumstances allowed me to get perfect video of one liaison with John and the liaison with Larry, and perfect audio and supporting documentation of both liaisons with Tim. During this two month period I was putting all of the information that I had gathered in forms easy to display, and was thinking seriously of the best way to approach the situation, understanding that ultimately I would be divorcing Josie.
One of the things foremost in my mind during this time was that I really enjoyed being married for numerous reasons, not the least of which was readily available sex, and that I wanted to develop at least one other prospective marriage partner before pulling the plug on my relationship with Josie.
*************
My plan had many rough edges. Exactly how things progressed would greatly depend upon the reactions of the people I talked with. The only thing for certain was that my marriage to Josie would be over shortly.
I first contacted Denise since I had the longest, and best, relationship with her of the three wives of the cheaters. As part of my good relationship with her she was universally friendly and touchy-feely with me.
