When we got married Elise had only had sex with 5 men. They were the man who took her virginity at a party, a University student, a 3some with 2 men and then me.
After we wed my wife told me that she only rates me as "adequate" in bed. Apparently I rank last in her list of lovers.
My wife's affairs started just 3 months after our marriage. She met Raymond secretly for sex. He wanted to film her having sex with other men. She wanted more lovers. So she agreed to be filmed being fucked by many men.
I hate Elise and Raymond. I wish that bad luck pours down on them. But it hasn't.
MY DRINKING
My wife and Raymond spent evenings together. I took solace by drinking.
I lost interest in work and only did the minimum. I used to get bonus money and a "fitted got promotion" on my Annual Written Assessment. Not now.
I went to a dingy "spit and sawdust" bar because my workmates wouldn't be seen dead in it. The drinks were cheap. I drink cheap "rot gut" whisky at home. I was a solo drinker, which is a bad sign.
Provided my drinking didn't interfere too much with my work I wasn't bothered. I used mouth wash so I didn't reek of alcohol. I sweated more easily. I put on weight. I stopped taking exercise.
I hated sitting at the bar hoping to strike up a conversation with someone. But anything was better than yet another night alone waiting for Elise to return.
THE ADVERT
I got one of those internet ads. It read
"Are you tired of a second rate existence? Do you want a life-long happy marriage?
We can help.
Email betterlife1234@hotmail.com for a free consultation."
I sent Better Life an email.
By return Better Life sent me an email which explained "We use Ancient Wican magic to alleviate unhappy marriages. This is not a scam.
The Wican priest, Miura, s a recluse and his needs are few.
He would incant on my behalf, providing I confirmed that I would allow Miura to incant on my behalf.
The email also had a questionnaire, which I completed honestly and secretly.
A week later I received a reply email from Priest Miura.
It read "Stay with Elise and you will have a happy life-long marriage."
I thought that perhaps Elise would suddenly jettison jer lifestyle and be a proper wife.
Despite my hope I continued to drink heavily.
TWO MONTHS LATER
There are over 100 of us working in Sero Ltd. This excludes the sales people. Fiona was one of them. I vaguely remember signing her condolence card. I knew her by sight but not much else.
I was killing time in a pub. I was surprised when Fiona sat down next to me. I had never seen her in the pub before.
We talked about inconsequential things. Because of her slim frame her B-cup breasts were impressive. She knew I wasn't paying attention to her face.
Some scantly clad women chatted with guys sitting at other tables.
Fiona said "For those youngsters this bar is just a meat market."
I said "I wish I was their age. They have a future to look forward to."
Fiona said "They only live one day at a time, just like you and me. Half of them will get divorced. And half of those who stay married will regret getting hitched."
They will get to be like you."
