I was sitting on my back deck when I heard my daughter Tina approach me.
"Hi, Dad."
"Hey kid, I didn't know you were stopping by."
"I just thought I would stop by and see how you were doing."
"Did your mother tell you to check in on me?"
"Yeah, Mom said you weren't too happy that she was spending the weekend with Brian after the awards ceremony."
"You know what Tina; 'I just don't give a fuck any longer.'
"Dad don't be like that. You have to look at it from Mom's perspective too. She's always there for you, and she takes care of your needs." I looked at Tina just waiting for her to say it.
"You know what I mean Dad, sexual needs."
"What did your mother tell you!"
"Calm down Dad, Mom and I talk. Please don't be angry, just think of Mom. She is only 45, and she has needs too."
"So just because I have to suffer it doesn't mean that she should?"
"Dad, she was there for you for a year and a half. Do you know how many men hit on Mom and she stayed by your side? And Dad, you agreed to this, and it made Mom so happy."
"I never agreed to shit. I told your mother our life would never be the same again, but I also couldn't stop her. She had her mind set before she approached me."
"Dad, it's only sex."
"That's why she's off at an awards ceremony for the whole weekend, with the arrogant prick."
"Dad!" my daughter gasped like I had insulted the Pope, "Brian is a kind man and treats Mom with respect. I know you are angry, but... Just remember that Mom only loves you."
"Keep telling yourself that Tina, keep telling yourself that.
If it were only sex, why the whole weekend? How much sex does your mother need?"
"Mom and Brian are friends, friends with benefits I guess you could say. Brain asked if Mom would go with him to the ceremony. It's innocent; Brian just needed a date."
"Yes, a date. A date to fuck the whole weekend!" I let that hang there but Tina was not phased.
"Dad, I've never heard you talk like that before. You need to stop and just relax and remember that Mom only loves you. Brian is nothing more than sex."
"I've taken the back seat to your mother's fuck buddy Brian. He calls and she's out on the deck talking and laughing. She tries to tell me it's not Brian, but I know."
Just a little background for you.
My wife Lisa and I have been married for 22 years. Our daughter is in college. It's under two hours away, so not too far for her to come for a weekend visit and give her laundry to her mother to do for her.
Lisa used to work for Brian. She no longer works thanks to me, I guess you could say. I was an electrician in the union, but I no longer work either.
About two years ago I was in a bad accident while driving to a job site. I was driving the company van when a delivery truck T-Boned me. I was in the hospital/rehabilitation for two months. I had nerve damage, spinal cord "complications," that's what they call it, and vertebrae in my neck had to be fused.
Two years later I am still in pain, I have trouble walking and at times I need a cane. I'm on all kinds of pills, oxycodone is about the only one I can pronounce. My life sucks.
As a result of my accident, nerve damage, and spinal cord complications, I am almost impotent. I can't get hard, well, maybe an inch and I do feel pleasure. Can I cum? Not enough to make a difference one way or another.
As you may have guessed, intercourse with my wife is nonexistent. I go down on my wife and use various toys to bring her to orgasm. As for me, Lisa tries her best to bring me to orgasm orally. As I said, I feel it, but it's not the same or even worth the effort.
Well, about six months ago my wife approached me with the idea that she wanted to take a lover. Not exactly a lover, she called it a friend with benefits. "It would only be sex," she told me.
And who was the man that would enjoy my wife? Her boss, Brian. Well, old boss. Because of my accident and lawsuit, I am now rich as fuck. I can't work any longer because of my injuries and Lisa, well, Lisa just quit.
Brian had been flirting with and hitting on Lisa for years. "Oh Tom, I just love it when you're jealous." Or "Tom, it's just a little flirting, nothing more." That's what Lisa would say to me.
Every one of Lisa's office parties was the same. Brian is by Lisa's side the minute he sees her, and it's as if I were not even there. He would take Lisa's hand and lead her to the dance floor at the Christmas parties. He would be all over her at the summer barbeque, pool parties, and the happy hours or whatever other get-together her office had.
"Tom, Brian is my boss. Please don't start any trouble for me." That's what I would get any time I got pissed.
I was happy when Lisa quit her job and I was finally rid of that prick. But I was wrong; somehow, he weaseled his way back into our lives. Brian is a good-looking guy in his mid to late 30s and divorced. His wife probably divorced him once she realized he was an arrogant prick too.
Lisa only sees Brian the nice guy. I guess that's what my daughter sees too. They don't see the prick that talks down to everyone who doesn't have his kind of money. I have his kind of money now, but he would eventually let me know every chance he had that he must please my wife because I can't.
Lisa doesn't believe me when I tell her the backhanded comments he makes.
So, after much arguing and walking on glass around the house, Lisa made her decision, even though I think she was already fucking him. At first, it was discreet. Discreet to the point that I didn't even know she was with him. "I'm going shopping Tom" or "I'm going out with the girls tonight." She would come home with shopping bags, or her friends would comment on the fun they had out together. But deep down I knew where she was with him and that her friends were just covering for her. Yes, I followed her on more than one occasion.
Did Brian have a big dick? No bigger than mine once was.
Did Lisa let Brian do to her what I never did? Yes, she did. I had no interest in anal sex, but it looks like my wife loves it. She's also kinky, which I never knew. She enjoys being cuffed to the bed and treated like a sex slave. Who knew?
One day, Lisa was getting dressed for an evening out with Brian. "Tom, Brian has tickets to a play. I want to see the play. It's nothing more than that."
That was the last straw for me. "You know what Lisa, do whatever the fuck you want. I'm done." She went out that night and I moved my clothes into the spare room and our marriage went downhill from there. We talked and acted like a couple around others, but our life together was far from happy.
"Why do you have to be like this? Please move back into the room with me." Lisa would beg.
I couldn't do it. Was it my ego? Was it knowing that I couldn't please my wife so someone else was doing it for me? Was it how happy I saw Lisa when she returned from being with Brian?
It was all the above.
So here I was getting pissed off at my daughter. "Tina, I think it's time for you to leave."
"Really Dad. I'm here because Mom is concerned for you, and this is how you are going to act. Fine, we are all tired of your self-pity anyway." And she left.
She left and I decided to do the same. It was Saturday and the banks were open, so I visited mine. I took three-quarters of our checking, and savings and transferred it into a new account in another bank. I also went online and updated the bank account for the monthly benefit payments I was receiving. I had control of a lot of other funds, some retirements that couldn't be touched and others that were in the market or CDs. My portfolio also included lucrative real estate properties. Lisa was just a beneficiary, so I left those alone.
If I didn't file for divorce, there would be no reason for Lisa to go after half of my holdings.
I left Lisa with enough money for her to live comfortably. Next, I packed a few bags with clothes, toiletries, my computer, and any other stuff I would need to start a new life. I thought about leaving my wedding band and a fuck you letter but decided to just leave and say nothing.
Well, my daughter must have talked to Lisa because she called and sent me texts to which I would not respond. I was in my truck to destinations unknown.
I made my way from New York to North Carolina, where I stayed for a few weeks. I rented a place on Emerald Isle, a beach town with rental properties on the water.
But I finally ended up settling down in Clearwater Florida. I found a place on the water with an option to buy. I was miserable and most times I found myself eating fast food and sitting at a bar most afternoons and evenings. I also spent time at a strip club. I got to know the girls, and I helped a few of them with financial problems.
The girls at the strip club were my new friends and they offered to take care of me, you know what I mean, but that just depressed me even more.
I kept on getting calls and texts from my wife and daughter, but they finally ended. Brian probably convinced Lisa that I wasn't worth the effort. I kept in touch with my parents and my sister who lived in New York. They knew I was living in Florida but not where in the state.
The girls at the strip club became my family. There was Laurie, the oldest and in her 30s or so, with a smoking hot body. And Kelly was the youngest at 22. At times I felt like a dirty old man watching Kelly strip. What she did in the VIP rooms, I never asked.
Laurie ran the place. She worked the bar, topless, and would occasionally dance and take a regular into the VIP room. She was also a mom to all the girls. If a guy was drunk or getting out of control, Laurie was the first to call the bouncers over. I caught her a few times making sure the girls had condoms if they were taking guys into the VIP rooms.
One day I had to ask, "Laurie, do they..." I didn't have to finish my sentence.
"Tom," Laurie looked at me, "these girls do what they need to do to survive."
From that day on, I made sure that I was a big tipper. To my surprise, the girls would not take my money unless I went into the VIP room with them. Sometimes I would strip for them. Well not completely of course. The only one that I ever let near my little dick was Laurie.
"Tom, I've been a stripper for a long time and doing what I need to survive. I've seen big dicks and little dicks. Believe it or not, some guys are born with a tiny dick, and they just accept it and I treat them no different than a guy with a big dick."
"But which would you prefer?" I asked.
"I would prefer the man that was kind, caring, loving, and funny." I just smiled because she had described me.
