The Moment of Truth (Just Once - Please!)
The Cheaters Request
Janet's been a great wife since we married 5 years ago. Our sex life has been amazing and our marriage has been strong. And up until that one moment in time she's never given me a reason to be jealous or believe that she's been unfaithful. That's why I was flabbergasted by her request to go out with the EVP of her company.
Since starting with Global Connections three years ago she's worked her way up to Marketing Manager at this international entertainment firm. As you can imagine, she meets all types of people and attends a great number of events, conferences, consulting, and marketing meetings. Some of their customers are very well known, such as the NY Knicks, the Chicago Bears, and the New England Patriots.
Her high energy and bubbly personality combined with her athletic body, perky tits, blond hair, blue eyes, and intelligence made her a perfect fit for this company. She kept me updated with her plans, her successes, and her day-to-day activities and I was happy to listen and proud of her success. She has the ambition to become VP of Marketing and is working hard towards that goal.
Global Connection is a British-owned organization with offices worldwide, and her manager, Ian Wolsey, is the EVP of Marketing. A self-made man in his early 50's, married three times with 9 children and 3 with his current wife. I couldn't help thinking that it's a good thing he makes a big paycheck to support his philandering and divorces when she told me about her boss.
Janet brought up Ian one evening as she told me about her day, but only in a business setting, nothing personal. She explained that he was coming to the US for two months, and it would give her a chance to show him how valuable she was to the company and let him know she was interested in moving up in the organization.
That's my girl, motivated and focused on her future. We just started talking about children and I asked her if getting the promotion would impact our time frame for growing our family. She said that she wanted to get a feel for her position in the company while Ian was here, and then she would let me know if we should start the family or delay our plans for a year. I was fine with either way, as we were still in our 20s and not in a rush for children, but we wanted two — a boy and a girl. We spent many nights and hours picking out names and which universities they would be going to when they were older. We were in love and looking forward to raising our future children.
A week after Ian's arrival, I stopped by Janet's office to surprise her for lunch. When I went to her office, I saw Ian and my wife standing a little too close as she was giggling and flirting. She quickly stopped and walked away from him when she heard me say hello. Janet introduced me to Ian, and that's when I swear that I saw a smirk on his face.
"Ian, this is my husband, Brian. Brian, this is Ian, the Executive Vice President from our Corporate office. You remember, I told you he was visiting for a short stay."
Then I saw it again. A cocky smirk as he spoke, "Well hello. So, you're the little husband. Nice to meet you, but you'll have to excuse me, I'm late for a meeting," and quickly left the office, avoiding any small talk. I considered his greeting incredibly rude, especially for someone in his position.
"Janet, what the fuck was that about, and why were you hanging on him and giggling?" I wasn't laughing and had the urge to knock that stupid smirk off his face, but he was gone before I could do anything. She knew I was upset with the way we just met, and tried to calm me down.
"Calm down sweetheart, that's just Ian and it was a little harmless flirting, and besides he is old enough to be my dad. Look, all the girls swoon over him. He thinks he's a ladies' man with his charming British accent and likes to flirt, and we all know he's just a cocky jerk but he's the boss. Anyway, he's a family man and nothing to worry about. It's just a little flirting with the girls. A bit of fun, he calls it."
"Well, I don't like it. And he has the balls to call me the Little Husband. And why the hell were you flirting back with him?"
"Oh Brian, stop acting jealous. Ian's the 3rd in charge of the entire company and I need to be nice to him. Like I said, he thinks he's a ladies' man and that's just the way British men are."
"Well, I don't like it."
"Relax, he's gone in two months."
Things were tense for a few days at home after that and Janet was careful not to bring up his name or upset me more than I already was.
Brian's Moment of Truth
Then, on a Wednesday night, a week after meeting Ian in the office, Janet opened up a casual conversation over dinner.
"Honey, would it be OK if I went out to Dinner with Ian, you know, my boss from work?"
I tensed up a little as it took me a moment to understand her question and answered with a question.
"Do you mean like a business meeting thing?"
"Well... no. More like a one-time date, before he goes back to London."
I immediately felt my stomach tighten up and my heart beating faster. I sat there quietly for a long moment before replying.
"I see. This is the same Ian that had been flirting with you, and made fun of me in your office? The so called 'Family Man," married with a total of 9 children with 3 different wives?
"Well, yes. But he's turned out to be a very nice man. He won't be here much longer, and I probably won't see him again when he goes back to London, so I thought one date would be OK. Like I said, he's married and has children. This would not be a romantic thing, just a little fun. One night away is all I'm asking for. It might even help my career. I mean, really, you go out of town on business all the time, one night away shouldn't be a big deal."
"OK, so it's not just dinner, it's a date and you want to spend the entire night with him. Let me be clear Janet — NO FUCKING WAY will I allow you to go out with another man on a date as long as we are married. Do you FUCKING understand? In fact, just knowing that you want to be with another man makes me want to rethink our marriage."
She panicked when she saw my reaction, "Oh God, No!!! You have it all wrong. I love you and you're my husband. Ian is just a one-time thing, and I'll be back the next day. Nothing changes between us and he'll be out of our lives forever. My god, it's just one night."
I looked at her with rage in my eyes and just said, "FUCK YOU! I'll have divorce papers in the next few days." I then stood, walked to my closet, packed a bag of clothes, and walked out. She continued to beg me to come back as I drove away from my once happy home. In less than thirty minutes my once happy marriage became a nuclear wasteland.
The calls from my 'loving wife' started immediately, followed by non-stop texts expressing her love and insisting that there would never be anyone else. In the next text, she tried to convince me that I was her loving husband, that this was all a misunderstanding, and that I needed to come back home.
As I drove, I told myself that if she could be swayed so easily, our future as husband and wife was in jeopardy and would require serious effort to restore, if that was even possible. I stayed away for two nights, ignored her calls, and took time off work, instructing them to tell her that I was out of town on a business trip.
Janet
Ever since Ian arrived at the office, all the women in my workspace were abuzz about this powerful, handsome man with a captivating eye for the ladies. He was tall, well-built, and had a marvelous accent that was both seductive and hypnotic. From the moment we met, it was clear to everyone that he had eyes for me. The compliments, the private meetings, the lunch dates, and all the extra time he devoted to me made the other women jealous. Every one of them would have jumped at the chance to be with Ian, married or not. The married women were even more vocal, encouraging me to go for it.
"Janet, he's asked you out several times. Every girl in the office would change places with you in a heartbeat. He's so handsome, and that accent makes us all wet when he talks to us. Take him up on his offer, and get yourself laid by this powerful man. You may never have another chance. Brian doesn't need to know, and he'll be going back to London, so no potential problems in the future."
The office girls hounded me every day until one day, they finally convinced me to go for it. Deep down, I knew I could never go behind my husband's back, so I came up with the idea of asking Brian to let me go on one date. Just one time, and then everything would go back to normal. The girls assured me that Brian would understand and give me this one night — at least, that's what most of them told me. So, that night, when I told him, I was shocked by his anger and rage. It wasn't supposed to happen like this, and now he's gone. I can't believe he walked out like that! I never thought he would be this upset.
In my distress, I called Gail, one of the girls at work. Gail and I, along with Janet, started at the company in the same department on the same day, three years ago, and have been inseparable since then.
