A short and sweet vignette , and hopefully to the point. No long background details, no actual sex and a resolution left quite deliberately with a touch of doubt. It's what I hope is a new take on a familiar theme, and hope you enjoy it.

"We need to talk, you bastard," my wife Cloe screamed at me as she stormed into our living room. "We need to talk right now."
I looked up at her and gave her a weak grin. I'd sort of been expecting something like this, and I sort of deserved it, maybe.
"Well what have you got to say for yourself Colin?" she shouted, the decibels threatening to leave the scale, when I didn't give her an answer. "Cat got your tongue has it?"
"No sweetie," I answered as calmly as I could. "What's up?"
"You know what's up you cheating bastard," Cloe ranted at me. "I've just finished talking to Linda."
Well folks, that just about confirmed it. Her friend Linda and 'cheating' in more or less the same breath didn't leave a lot of room for doubt. Like my wife, Linda was a hot little number except that her legs were maybe even longer and her tits definitely perkier. I'd fancied her for years but till recently never dreamt that I'd ever do anything about it.
"Oh that," was all I could think of to say, though it hardly seemed to be adequate in the circumstances.
"So you don't deny that you fucked her then?"
"Would you believe me if I did?" I tried, without too much hope.
"Of course I wouldn't believe it, you idiot," Cloe growled at me.
"So no point in me denying it then," I mumbled, avoiding her eye. "What did she tell you?"
"Everything! She told me everything."
"Everything?" I repeated a forced smile on my face. "Did she tell you how many times I gave her an orgasm? How she screamed when I eat her out?"
"Shut up Colin," she started to screech again. "It's bad enough already and you're going to pay for this you bastard."
"Guess I'm not going to like that, am I?"
"Damn right you're not going to like it," she carried on her tirade. "If you think you can fuck around on me, then I can do the same."
"What!" I exclaimed, though her reaction to what I'd done was hardly a surprise. "You don't mean ..."
"That's exactly what I mean you cheating bugger," she interrupted. "You fucked another woman, so I'm going to have sex with another man to get my own back. Probably several times, and you accept it or I go see a divorce lawyer first thing in the morning."
"I guess you don't leave me a lot of choice sweetie," I acknowledged the position she had me in."
"Damn right you haven't," my wife chimed in with a triumphant smile on her still beautiful face.
"Ok Cloe," I muttered under my breath, only just audibly. "I admit you've got me. I'll go for the divorce option."
"Well I'm glad you can see ...." She started to say, clamming up as it dawned on her quite what I'd said. "What? What did you say?"
"Divorce," I repeated more confidently. "I'll go for the divorce option please."
"But you can't," she replied in a confused tone.
"Can," I informed her.
"But you can't Colin," Cloe said again unhappily. "I still love you and don't want that."
"Well I still sort of love you sweetie, but you gave me the choice and that's what I've chosen."
"But you can't Colin," she repeated yet again, close to sobbing. "I love our life together and don't want a divorce. All I want is a little revenge for you cheating on me."
"But you still can Cloe," I grinned my best grin at her. "If we're going to get a divorce anyway, then you might as well go and fuck Tom tonight as you planned."
