I had gone through ten years of marriage believing that a "Girls Night Out" was just that - a bunch of girls getting together to get out of the house to blow off some steam. My loving wife led me to believe that on Wednesday she got together with her sister Sarah, her cousin Tina and some girls she went to school with to play cards at her sister's apartment. It turned out that "Girls Night Out" really meant "Boys Night In."

Normally I got off from work before Katie left and I babysat while she was out, but I had run into an old Army buddy at Wal-Mart. We hadn't seen each other in fifteen years and didn't even know that we lived in the same town. He owned a country/western bar on the outskirts of town and he invited me over to have a bite to eat, sip a few beers and have a lot of catch up conversation.
"I don't have much of a kitchen, mostly Del Monico steak sandwiches, half pound ground rounds, French fries and onion rings, but I've got the best Bloody Mary's in the state."
I called home and told Katie she would have to arrange for a sitter, we exchanged our I love you's and then I followed Bart over to his bar. As the evening progressed we sat in his office looking out the one-way window into the bar proper and did the 'whatever happened to' and the 'do you remember' thing. Along about six-thirty a band came in and began to set up.
"Live music?"
"You bet. I'm surprised that you've never heard of the place. It's the hottest spot in town, a real pick up palace. The joint will be jumping by eight."
"I'm an old married man now Bart, with three kids. My nights of tripping the lights fantastic are long gone."
"Too bad bud, I get some prime stuff in here on Wednesdays. A couple of them even tempt me, but I make it a rule to stay away from the paying customers. Less heartache that way. If you ever decide to stray from the old ball and chain there's a group of regulars, five or six, the number always changes, who are in here every Wednesday night and they never leave along if you get my drift."
"Sorry to have to turn it down pard, but what I've got at home is almost more than I can handle."
"Too bad. The tall blond one would probably be just your style. Speak of the devil here they come now."
I turned and looked toward the door and I'm sure that my jaw must have dropped.
"The two blondes are sisters and the redhead with the big tits is a cousin. The other three are just friends. All six will leave with a guy and go to one of the girl's apartments where they all get it on in the same room. Then when the married ones leave to hurry home to hubby the two blondes double up. The tall one likes doubles and triples and gangbangs. She also seems to have a preference for dark meat."
"Doubles and triples? Dark meat?"
"You know, two or three cocks at once and she always seems to leave with one or two niggers. Now I don't have any factual knowledge, but that is what the guys they leave with tell me when they come in here the next day. Granted, guys like to bullshit and brag about sexual conquests that sometimes never really happened, but I've been hearing those stories for damned near seven years now so I pretty much believe them."
"She's been coming in here that long?"
"Yep. She was at my grand opening and has been coming in on almost every Wednesday since. She's married and I hear that she has a couple of kids. I wonder if her husband knows. You know, they have one of them open marriages?"
"They don't, and he didn't, at least not until tonight."
"Huh?"
"They don't have an open marriage and he didn't know until just now."
I saw the understanding dawn on him. "Jesus! You don't mea...?"
"Yes indeed Bart, that is just what I mean. And that brings up a question Bart. Just how loyal are you to your steady customers?"
"I don't know. You got a gun in your car? You going to go nuts and blow her shit away? If that's the case I'm going to go out there and tell her to run. I don't need no shit like that in my place."
"No, nothing like that. I just want to know if you are going to tell her she's been busted."
"Nope. I figure if you kick her ass out she'll still come in here. Probably more often."
I guess I must have raised an eyebrow at that because he said, "Hey, I'm sorry that she's your wife, but I'm a business man and she and her little group bring in a lot of business. What are you going to do?"
"I don't know. The anger hasn't taken hold yet. This has happened just too quickly. For right now I suppose I'll just go outside and wait for her to leave and then follow her to see what she does. After that, I just don't know."

According to Bart the girls always left by ten or so. He figured that it was so that they could go have their fun and then still get home to hubby at a reasonable time. I had no idea what a reasonable time was for Katie because I was always asleep when she came home and Katie was careful not to wake me. I was surprised that I wasn't angrier than I was. I supposed it was because all I had up till then was what someone had said rather than any factual knowledge. Perhaps there was still a part of me that didn't believe it. After all, how could it have possibly gone on for seven years and me not have a clue?
At five after ten the girls began coming out and it was just as Brad had said it would be - none of them were alone. With a sinking heart I saw Katie come out with two black guys and I watched the three of them walk to a car and talk for a moment or two and then one black guy took Katie in his arms and kissed her. The kiss was a long one and while it was going on the other black guy took out his cock and put Katie's hand on it. She stroked it until she broke the kiss and then the man she had been kissing got in the car and Katie and the other black walked over to her car - his cock still in her hand - and Katie let the guy get in and drive while she got in on the passenger side. They weren't even out of the parking lot before her head went down into his lap.
It was a regular convoy on the way to Sarah's apartment. Sarah in her car with Tina, Katie and the guy she was sucking off followed in Katie's car. Marlene in her car with her stud of the evening and three guys behind her in a car. Then came Annie's car and she had Bev with her and behind them was another guy in his car and I was behind all of them. At Sarah's place they all trooped upstairs to her apartment and I settled in outside to wait. I don't know why I sat there and watched Sarah's apartment since I already knew that what Bart had told me was true. What I really wanted to do was go up the steps and walk in on them (I had a key so I could feed Sarah's cat when she was on vacation) and surprise the hell out of Katie, but then she would know that I knew. That would limit me in my future options so I just sat there and watched to see what would happen next.
Bev was the first one out. She came out at eleven-twenty and headed home to her husband. Tina was next, along with one of the guys, and they stood and talked for a couple of minutes and then exchanged slips of paper which I assumed were phone numbers and then they got in their cars and drove off. Next out came Marlene and Anne and they drove away which left Katie, Sarah and five guys still in the apartment. An hour passed and I was developing an overwhelming urge to go up those stairs and barge in on them. I had just decided to do it when Katie and four guys came out of the apartment. They stood around and talked for several minutes and then Katie gave all four long, lingering kisses and then everyone dispersed to their cars and drove away.
I gave Katie a three-block head start and then I followed her. I wondered what she would think when she got home and found that I wasn't there. Would she panic at the thought that I might have been out checking up on her or would the fact that she had pulled the wool over my eyes for the last seven years make her feel secure? All of a sudden something inside me snapped. I didn't want to go home. I didn't want to see Katie now that I knew what she had been doing. I didn't want her trying to kiss me goodnight with the mouth that she had been using for other things that night. I didn't want to lie next to her body after other men had been on top of it. Most of all I wasn't ready to face her after what she had done. I swung off on a side street and found a motel and checked in for the night.

I called in sick to work the next morning and then called a friend of mine who was a lawyer and asked if he could find some time in his schedule for me to discuss a personal problem. The news I got wasn't good. It seemed that in our state it didn't matter why you got a divorce, the woman still would make out like a bandit.
"You could have video of her being gangbanged with the kids in the next room watching TV and she would still get custody of the kids and half of everything that you own. She will get a portion of your pension when you retire, child support for the kids and depending on how sharp her lawyer is and how kind the judge is she could even come away with the right to claim the kids as income tax deductions even if you are paying more than half their support. To add insult to injury you will even get stuck with paying all court costs and that includes her lawyer's fees. Believe me pal when I say that divorce is the worst solution to your problem. You would have been better off barging in on her and killing her in a fit of jealous rage. With the right jury you might have been found not guilty by reason of insanity. At worst you would have been given twenty-five years and been out in eight with good behavior."
"So basically I'm fucked?"
"Pretty much. Your best option is to go home, pretend that it isn't happening, and go on with your life. You say that your marriage has been a good one right up until last night so be happy with your six days with her and try to ignore the one day when she is out being bad. Or you could go home and live with her and just sleep in separate bedrooms. Another option is to slowly convert everything you have to cash and then one day just walk away without saying a word to anybody."
Great choices, right? My mind was in turmoil as I headed home. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to lose my kids and I didn't want to lose everything that I had worked so hard for just because my wife was a cheating whore. It wasn't fair that I had to be the one to pay for what she had done. By the time I reached the house I had decided to follow some of Brad's advice. I would slowly convert things to cash, but I would also stay at home and coexist with Katie until I could find a way out that didn't ruin me.
"Where have you been? My God, I've been worried sick. Why didn't you call?" was the greeting I got when I walked into the house. "I called the hospitals and I even called the police."
"I was just out. I had way too much to drink last night and decided to check into a motel rather than chance driving home."
