Today was Monday and I left work early thinking I was coming down with the flu. I texted my wife to tell her I was going home sick and she replied to take some flu meds. I asked her what meds and where could I find them? She replied Tamiflu and it was in a container of meds in the second drawer under her vanity unit in our bathroom. I just texted back ok and went home.
Upon arriving at home I went into our master bath to look for her meds and found something else instead. I searched the drawer she indicated and found nothing that said Tamiflu. I opened the top drawer and in the back I found the flu meds and also found a foil pack of contraceptive pills. She had already taken the one marked for today. I was totally shell-shocked. She promised me that she had gone off the pill well over two years ago.
We had been trying, without luck, to have a baby for the past two years. My wife just said we were unlucky with our work schedules and sooner or later our timetables would coincide with her fertile period. This past spring, I decided enough was enough and we were both tested. After numerous tests our doctor declared there was nothing wrong with either of us.
My name is Jim Burks and I am 33 years old. I stand 6' tall and weigh about 190. Not fat but I could stand to lose a few pounds. Too many cheeseburgers and pizza for lunch. If you asked my wife she would say it is the beer that I love to drink. I've got sandy hair and always considered myself fairly good looking. I had several girlfriends in college and never had a problem attracting the opposite sex. All that came to a stop when I met my future wife while a junior in college. We dated exclusively until I popped the question and six months later she became Mrs. Jim Burks.
My lovely wife's name is Carol and she is the same age as me, 33. She stands 5'6" and weighs about 120 and has curves in all the right places which include D cup breasts. She is a natural redhead. I think she is stunning and had several suitors in college and was never short of male attention. She lights up the any room instantly and radiates energy; her bubbly personality is admired by everyone. I thought we were the perfect match.
We enjoy sex together, however, the only problem is we don't see each other enough to get all the sex we need. I am a systems analyst for a large IT company while Carol is a registered nurse on the orthopedic ward of a large hospital in Dallas. I typically work an 8-5 day although some days I have to stay late if working on an either difficult or time related problem. Because of our work hours we really only see each other at the weekends. When Carol works the day shift we see each other at night but she is always so exhausted that she is in bed by 9:00, which is shortly after arriving home. We try to make up for our lack of sex on the weekend and fuck like rabbits for two days. We often discuss fantasies and both agree that fantasies needed to be just that a fantasy. Carol was all I needed and she assured me that I was the love of her life. I have no time for cheaters and she knows my feelings on infidelity. Simply, I would not tolerate it.
Carol works four twelve hour days a week. Monday through Thursday and alternates shifts every four weeks. The shift is usually 7 to 7 either during the day or overnight. There is also a turnover period which, since she started in orthopedics, takes about an hour. So with the drive home she usually comes in around 8:30 both morning and night. I have asked for the past two years for her to get a day job but she likes what she does and didn't want to change jobs. So we just put up with her unsociable hours.
When we first got married we had both had student loans and agreed they should be paid before starting a family. When the loans were repaid we then decided to put off having children until we were fairly comfortably settled into a nice home and neighborhood. Two years ago we reached that goal and agreed the time was right for Carol to get pregnant. Except she didn't.
I stare at the foil pack of pills and wonder if it is just an old package but realized the days the pills had been popped corresponded to the month and the correct pill for today had already been popped out. Today was Monday the 17th and seventeen pills had been popped including today. The expiration date was three years in the future so they must have been refilled recently. Simultaneously, I run several different scenarios through my mind. Did Carol really want a family? Was she having some type of clandestine affair? Was there a health issue with her I wasn't aware of? Why had she been lying to me?
Our bodies weren't getting any younger and the longer we put off having a family the harder it would be. How would I approach her?
I took the Tamiflu and disappeared to bed. The next thing I know Carol is shaking me awake asking how I was feeling and if I needed anything. "I'm feeling better and no I don't need anything." I was really actually feeling hurt that she wasn't sharing something with me but didn't say anything.
I watched her as she, obviously thought I had passed out again, undressed to take a shower and I thought that parts of her body looked red, including her breasts and pubic area. Suddenly, I understood she must be having an affair after the turnover before coming home. When she worked on a different ward the turnover only took less than ten minutes, why should it now take an hour?
She didn't close the bathroom door and I moved over to where I could watch her reflection in a full length mirror in the bathroom. I thought she spent an ungodly amount of time washing her vagina. She scrubbed and even stuck two fingers inside trying to get clean. Was this usual? I had no clue as I had actually never watched her before.
Carol had undressed in our bedroom and her clothes lay where she dropped them. I picked up her sexy panties and looked at the crotch and yes they were still damp with what appeared to be cum stuck in the crotch. I returned her panties underneath her scrubs and got back in bed.
I was angry beyond words. To that point in my life I thought everything was perfect now I wasn't so sure. Around me, Carol acted like the perfect wife, however, I realized there must be a side I wasn't aware of. I needed more information.
She returned to the bedroom from her shower and got in bed with me. I was never in bed at this time of the night. Carol didn't even make an effort to hold or comfort me but stayed on her side. She was long gone before I got up the next morning. I called in sick claiming I had the flu. I had a ton of sick leave and needed time off to figure out what to do.
One of my best friends from college had become a lawyer so I called him asking for advice. I soon found out that Texas is a non-fault state and since we didn't have children we only had to split our belongings 50/50. The biggest thing was our house which had accumulated some equity which would have to be sold and the proceeds split. My friend did agree to represent me if I decide to file. He assured me it was a slam dunk.
