A semblance of normality shattered
Then I met Jenny at the next Year's Fresher's day fair and we hit it off straight away. We got married as soon as we finished our degrees. She went into a firm of chartered accountants and I managed to find a job in a call centre. The pay wasn't great but I told myself it was temporary and my Medieval history degree would get me something better eventually. I never did find anything better though I did get promoted to team leader after a few years. Jenny did great at her job, getting promoted every couple of years and started talking about becoming a partner in the firm one day. Then I lost my job.
It wasn't easy selling mobile phone contracts, it was a very competitive world and I'm really not a very pushy guy. Still, it came as a shock. Initially Jenny was sympathetic and reassured me I'd find something better but as the months went by I could tell she was losing patience. She started to make little comments about "real men's jobs" when I was going through the job websites.
Still, I had my five-a-side soccer team buddies to meet on a Thursday evening, though Jenny now went to the gym without me as I couldn't afford the subs. We started to have sex less often. I was at home all day alone while she worked and I discovered a website selling great butt plugs. After six months, I had some very big plugs and was wanking twice a day. Then it happened.
I had washed a couple of my plugs and left them by the kitchen sink to dry before going to the supermarket to get some stuff for dinner. When I came back in through the door, I saw Jenny's keys on the hook in the hall and her shoes by the mat where she had kicked them off. I went quickly to the kitchen hoping she hadn't been in there yet so I could hide my plugs but my heart leapt when I found her sitting at the kitchen table with one of my plugs in her hand.
"Hello love, you're home early. Something up?" I said, hoping to keep the mood jolly.
She looked up at me with a steely look in her eye and said "what's this?"
"It' umm, it's, it's..." I stammered.
"Well, What is it?" She was raising her voice now.
"I think you probably know what it is."
"Tell me anyway" she said it with a half smile and I thought maybe she was softening.
"It's a butt plug" I ventured.
"What's it for?" She asked. She really wanted to make me squirm.
"Umm, it's for umm, filling my butt."
"Show me" she said.
"What? No. Why?" I protested.
"Because, either you've been having sex with someone else, or you've been spending your days wanking while I work to keep you. Either way, you're in trouble. So, show me."
"I'm not going to show you." I said, standing firm and hoping.
"Yes you are, or I'm going to take this to show your mother and tell her that you like to sit at home wanking with a plug in your butt while I work. AND, I'll tell all your football buddies too". I could feel my blood draining away.
"You wouldn't".
"Try me." She said.
I put my shopping bag down and knelt in front of her, looking up at her gorgeous blue eyes. "Please don't do this. I don't have sex with anyone else. I never would. I only play on my own. I've wanted to tell you, to share it with you but you don't seem to be interested."
"So, here's your chance to share. Show me what you use this for and maybe I'll let you off. Now, take off your clothes and show me what you use this for."
Hoping that maybe this would be a breakthrough in our relationship, that we'd get closer and have a more adventurous sex life, I decided to go with the flow. I went to the bedroom and stripped off, picking up a bottle of lube from the bedside table and returned to the kitchen. Jenny was now fiddling with her mobile phone. "What are you doing?" I asked.
