Hi, my name is George Anders. My wife is Dianne. I work as a real estate agent. Dianne works in an insurance agency as a secretary. We have been married for twenty two years. I thought very good years.
We shared everything. We seldom argued. Every morning and every night we said how much we loved each other.
We were in our early twenties when we met at a picnic. Dianne was dressed in a pretty summer dress. She looked cute as a button. We were at the grill and got into a conversation. I was enchanted with her.
I asked her out. This was a jump for me. I was shy and normally spent a great deal of time building up courage. She agreed and made my day. We started dating and six months later we married. We were always affectionate. Our sex life was satisfying but like all marriages the excitement had died down.
Unfortunately, Dianne could not have children. We accepted it and were happy with our lives.
Today a Mary Peters called and asked me out for lunch. She wanted to share some information that would impact my marriage.
She asked me to meet her at a very expensive restaurant at her expense. Naturally I did. Mary was a very attractive women about forty five my age.
Mary explained that she was very rich. Her parents left her a fortune. She had invested in allot of real estate but that was not the reason for our lunch. She had been married for eight years. Her husband Tom was a philanderer. He was constantly hooking up with married women. His affairs usually lasted about three months. He always was working on a back up. As soon as one affair ended another would start.
When they got married she was totally in love with him. She never pursued a prenuptial agreement. A divorce would cost her half her fortune. She enjoyed living with him. He was also excellent in bed. She had lost her love for him when she learned of his affairs." He was not aware that she knew what was going on.
She kept it that way. Mary also had a private eye which kept her informed of just what he was up to. She also had taped all his escapades. My wife was his latest conquest.
Why was Mary telling me all this? She wasn't going to do anything about it. Apparently she had a few peccadilloes of her own. Her private eye also gave her reports on the husband of the recent conquest.
Mary never gave any information to a husband who was abusive to his wife. When an attractive, intelligent man that also fit her other qualifications was the husband she would contact him. The man would have to agree that he would not get physical with her mate. She would give him the proof for a divorce. Mary would also sleep with him if he was interested. Mary said "She got her greatest sex when she knew she was screwing his girlfriend's husband."
I asked her about her husband being named in a divorce suit. She just laughed. Many times the divorce was settled quietly. Lots of times the wife and the husband reconciled. Otherwise she just acted dumb. Tom wasn't that bright and thought she was completely fooled.
Mary said "The affair had been going on for about a month. She said that my wife loved me and mentioned it numerous times when she was with Tom."
Her husband was really an expert at tuning in to women's needs. He never rushed but slowly pushed her into sex. Mary enjoyed the sex but did not want her marriage threatened.
I thought about it. I honestly did not know what I should do. I sincerely loved my wife. I knew if I talked to her it would end in divorce. I could not tolerate infidelity." Mary I may take you up on your offer but it would be after I filed for a divorce. I have to think about the best procedure forward."
"George they are having their next session Friday night at the Hilton. They will check in early and she will leave about midnight. Her excuse will be that she is having dinner at her sisters."
"Thank you for all you help and information. I will let you know what I plan to do before I do it."
Today was Tuesday. I would have a couple of days to prepare. I decided to take dramatic steps. If reconciliation was possible I needed to leave a permanent impression in her memory. I did the usual. I took half of all the money out of our bank accounts. My credit cards would be stopped on Friday.
I resigned my job. The boss said "If I wanted to come back my job would always be there."
Now I should mention that I am an alcoholic. I have not had a drink in nine years. I got myself in a a terrible accident. Dianne was going to leave me. I was close to losing my job. I never had a drop since.
After I stopped drinking Dianne and I came up with a novel way to celebrate successes. Whenever we celebrated anything I would take a bottle of Budweiser from the refrigerator and place it on the table. It would remind me that if I was still drinking I would not have a reason to celebrate.
I passed on what I planned to do on Friday to Mary. She had a cabin that she offered for me to stay at while I executed my plan.
I tried to appear as normal as possible with Dianne. She told me that "She was leaving work early Friday. She would go home, change and leave for her sisters early. "
After Dianne left for work on Friday I packed and moved. No one except Mary knew where I was. Dianne arrived home about noon time. On the kitchen table was a bottle of Bud, my wedding ring and a short note. "I hope you and Tom enjoy your stay at the Hilton. I think you should tell your sister you may be late. Love, Tom".
Mary's PI informed us what happened after she read the note.
Dianne called Tom and told him what happened. He thought they might as well enjoy the Hilton since I was aware of what was going on. She called him "an asshole." She called every possible person who might know where I went without any luck. Her sister came over and spent the night.
The lake I was on had excellent fishing. I bought a license. The cabin was equipped with fishing gear. I hadn't fished since I got married. "I loved it. The lake was loaded with trout." I had Mary over and I cooked a fish banquet. We talked half the night. She stayed over but we did not have sex. We spent hours discussing various subjects. I missed Dianne and felt pain. Mary did an awful lot to make me feel better.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch Dianne was still looking for me. She worked every day. She stayed home alone at night. Tom still pursued her. She talked to him on the phone but refused to let him come over. She would not go out with him.
After two weeks I decided to give Dianne a nudge. She went food shopping on Saturdays. When I saw her leave I dropped off another present. On her table I left another bottle Bud and our wedding license.
The note said "I notice you are staying home and just communicating with Tom on the phone. Are you having phone sex? That's a shame since he must be better in bed than me. ".
The following Saturday I left another note with a bottle of beer. " I am asking you to write me a letter explaining why you had this affair. You can also send me any reasons you can come up with why I should not divorce you. I may not get a divorce but just disappear. Send the letter to my lawyer."
