Really Matt, is that how you saw it? I mean come on Matt; we both have known Red for what, 20 years? This is how want you want people to see him as some lovable cuckold. You know yourself that Darla and the kids fucked Red over for many years. And for what, some asshole with more money, Darla should be glad it wasn't me. I wouldn't have given that bitch a dime. There never should have been a Red and Darla Clayton.
Sorry for my ranting readers, I'm Red's friend David Michaels. Matt and I have been Red's bros for over 20 years. I for one thought that Matt was too nice in his description of that whore but that's just me. If you read Matt's version of what happened to the Red and Darla's marriage, then you have an small idea of what happened although it's a little to, hummm, never mind. Matt and I have always looked at things differently. So this is my version of what happened.
I told Red from day one that Darla was trouble, but as normal his common sense lost out to his hormones or in Darla's case whoremoans. Darla is a good looking woman with a nice body, which was all Red saw in the beginning. We kept trying to tell Red that Darla got around and around and around if you know what I mean. You see that was one of the little facts that Matt left out. Matt has a way of white washing the facts. When Red and Darla were dating, Red thought it was exclusive. He should have asked Darla what "exclusive" meant. The fellows and I would see her around campus with a different guy from time to time, but she had Red believing it was just a class mate or some guy she was tutoring. The tutoring she gave made me wish I had a tutor like that. We would ask Red about it, he would say it was only a friend.
Darla must have seen Red coming; he must have had the words "Sucker" tattooed on his forehead. Darla could have told him it was a storm outside on a sunny day and he would've believed her. And when we tried to tell him what was going on, he thought we were just jealous of their relationship. So I left him to his doom, but I was still his friend and we would be there to back him up when the time came.
Then like the fool he was, at graduation he asked her to marry him. I had to tell him later, what he thought was cheering, was laughter. The comment Dean Howard made was," you can't turn a whore into a house wife". I don't what it was about Darla that blinded Red but she had him wrapped around her little finger.
As the years went on, Darla became a lawyer and Red was a detective for the police department. Matt told you why Red was kicked off the force but left out the part about Darla's representing the victim's wife in a lawsuit against the city. Darla wasn't mad or scared of Red. She was worried that Red would learn that she had a lover. Darla gave him all that guff about him not being home, and spending time with the kids. But at the same time she was taking the kids to her lover's house. It's funny how Matt left that out, you see nothing is a simple as it seems. Darla didn't give a damn about Red and I don't think she ever did. Red was a means to an end. And as far as their marriage goes, think about it. Here Red is working himself to death and for what a whore wife and some ungrateful kids that left him for the next guy without batting an eyelash. The thing is I would have expected that of Darla but the kids? That one threw me for a loop.
Some of you out there may think, I'm a hater, so be it. But where any of you and for that fact where was Darla when Red almost killed himself. I'll tell you where Darla was, she was fucking Marty. Red wasn't trying to match that whore's income; he was the one paying all the fucking bills. Matt also left out the part where Darla was buying Marty all these expensive gifts. Marty was a big time lawyer, so when he found out about the whore Darla was in college, he wanted a bite of the poisonous apple. It took him about a week, but after that Darla was his willing whore/slut.
And for you bleeding hearts out there, where was your pity for Red. Here is a man that loves his kids to death. His whore wife cheats on him for years and what do they do? They side with their mom. Matt also left out the part about Red giving his son his bone marrow. There are tons of little things that Red did for his kids daily but so what. Marty has a pool and promised them cars when they got old enough.
