My marriage was good. My wife loved me and never had any inclination to cheat on me. She was very good domestically; she cleaned the house and cooked when she had the opportunity. The problem was that last word: opportunity. She was always so busy. Her work kept her till all hours. She would never call home to let me know that she would be running late. Dinners wound up cold. Plans with other couples were cancelled. Family was neglected. Planned intimate liaisons were forgotten. We had no children, which helped to keep matters simple. She was always up for sex, but never did the things that turned me on like she used to do. Gone were the sexy lingerie and blow jobs. Passion was there, but only after I spent hours focusing on her to get her "in the mood." Any time that I asked for the same kind of attention in return, I would be snubbed or little effort would be expended on her part.
"I am too tired," she would say, "I am too sore."
She was a leader in the field of veterinary medicine. She was making breakthroughs in treatment and surgery. She was so successful and happy doing what she was doing. She was always off at the clinic working on her latest research. The money came in and was spent making a home. I am no slouch as a cook, so I was very happy to have my professional grade kitchen. But a professional grade kitchen is no consolation when you are horny and left alone at home again.
For many years I was able to cope with this lack of attention. I found hobbies to occupy my time. These afforded me some social contact and gave me comfort. On rare occasions, I would encounter a woman that shared a passion for my hobby. We would flirt shamelessly for a few days, but I would break it off. I couldn't bring myself to cheat on Christina. The results of my hobbies started to fill the rooms of our home. I became restless, longing for the attention my wife gave her work to be given to me. I found solace on the internet. A poor substitute for the real thing, but it helped me get through the darker, lonelier moments.
Then, one day while I was prowling my favorite sites, a banner caught my eye. I clicked on the link on a whim, deciding to see what it was about. The site was for a community name Stepford in Connecticut. The site went on to explain that this community was for the husband who was tired of having his wife neglect him for her work. Their goal, or so their website claimed, was to remove wives from the hustle and bustle of their work to allow them to reconnect with their husband and family. It sounded like just the ticket for Christina and me. Now, I just had to convince my wife to move. It turned out to be even easier than I thought it would be.
I did book keeping for my wife's clinic and so I knew exactly what the financial status of the clinic was. I did some research and found that the area around Stepford had a very low overhead for businesses. I spent some time creating a presentation for my wife that was sure to persuade her. That evening when she got home from the office, I took her out for dinner at her favorite restaurant and wined and dined her like I did before we were married. Upon arriving at home, I sat Christina down and gave her my presentation.
"Well, Tina, what do you think?" I put myself out on a limb.
"It sounds like a wonderful idea, John. We can sell the clinic here to one of my associate vets and move. I suppose a brief sabbatical while they finish my new office will be okay," Christina smiled, "When can we be ready to move in to a new place?"
"I thought you might agree with this plan, so I did some research and the place should close next week," I replied.
"Well, then, we better start packing!" A sparkle in Christina's eyes let me know she was excited.
"They will have a crew out at the end of the week to pack everything and move it down there. They have a guest house we can stay in until the house is settled. The community is very welcoming from their website," I grinned at my wife and her naΓ―vetΓ©. This was like taking candy from a baby.
So pleased was Christina that night, that she actually reminded me of earlier in our marriage. She wore one of the slinkiest night gowns she owned. Green silk clung deliciously to every curve of her body. Her gorgeous breasts were quivering in anticipation. Her nipples pushed through the fabric and I couldn't resist biting one. An animal moan was my reward. Her hands worked at my belt and zipper, and then my trousers were a pile on the floor at my feet. My cock bobbed out of the gap in my boxers, already stiffening at this sudden change in Christina's attitude. Christina knelt in front of me, brown eyes gazing into mine. Her short brown hair was clipped back out of the way. Her hands reached out and stroked my now rock hard cock. She lowered her head and licked my cock from balls to head, slowly and seductively, the texture of her tongue almost sending me over the edge after so long being absent. Then her head started its back and forth motion. She could only get my dick in so far, before her gag reflex kicked in. So the blowjob was shallow, but Christina hadn't given me head in so long, that this short motion soon had me nearing orgasm. I clamped down my hands on the back of her head, but Christina slapped my hands away. She pulled her head away and my cock felt a cold rush of air.
"John! You know I don't do that. Go ahead and finish that one up in the bathroom. That way you will have more stamina for me. I want you to last awhile, so I can have more fun. It balances out." It turns out that she hadn't changed her mind as much as before. She was still narcissistic and still wouldn't let me finish the way I wanted to when she gave me head.
After jacking off disappointedly in the bathroom, I walked out into the bedroom to find Christina asleep. I would let her sleep this time. She only had a few more days when she would be this tired. Her new business would hopefully take less time out of her day and allow me to see my wife for more that one hour a day. With thoughts of a happier future in my thoughts I fell asleep. My dreams were filled of my wife and of a life I could actually enjoy.
***
The next week we drove out to Stepford. We took our time getting there, enjoying the scenery and the sites. There was still no change in Christina. She was still just as self-centered and aloof. She also spent endless hours on her cell phone talking with one of her associates to finalize the sale of the clinic. I was still left spending hours of foreplay just to have Christina flop on her back and moan, while I did all of the work. By the end of the week, I was feeling very bitter toward my wife. I was in a foul mood when we finally arrived at the gates of Stepford. The guard greeted me genially and gave me directions to the guest house.
Driving down the road through the community I felt better. Everyone was smiling and appeared to be very happy. There was no sign of stress or worry. No one was rushing to get anywhere. The lawns and landscapes were perfectly manicured and well maintained. I felt like I was driving through Perfectown, USA. I didn't mind. Christina didn't either, she had always wanted a beautiful lawn and landscape and it was all I heard about on the drive in. Several people waved at us as we drove past.
I pulled into the driveway of the guest house and was amazed. It was hardly the small building that I had been expecting. It put the house that Christina and I used to live in to shame. It was palatial. I would have been happy to move in to this house and live. As I entered the house I was greeted by a voice that startled me.
"Welcome to Stepford, Mr. Anderson," a pleasant female voice came from my left as a gorgeous woman walked in to the entryway, "My name is Julia Edwards, I am the head of the welcoming committee. On behalf of the citizens of Stepford, I would like to extend to you an invitation to a country fair we are having later this evening. It will be in the center of town, near the big red barn. We hope to see you there. Oh, and you will find a full fridge and kitchen ready for you."
"Thank you Mrs. Edwards," I beamed.
"It is Miss Edwards. I am not married," Julia said as she slinked out the front door and greeted my wife.
"What do you think, Tina, it could be fun to go to the fair?" I tested the waters.
"I don't see why not, John. It would give us a chance to meet some of the neighbors," She replied.
After cleaning up and dressing in clean clothes, we drove down to the center of town and were greeted by what seemed to be the entire town walking around talking and having a good time. The women were all flawlessly beautiful and friendly. The men were clustered around each other and conversing quietly, which I found odd, but ignored it. Christina seemed to be having a good time talking with the rest of the ladies, so I decided to let her have fun and enjoy the time with them. I sauntered over to where the guys were hanging out and introduced myself. One man seemed to be in charge and made a round of introductions.
"What brings you to Stepford, John?" The man, a Tim Hansen, asked.
"Well, my wife has spent a lot of time devoting herself to her research in veterinary medicine. Honestly, she has also become really selfish and hardly makes any time or effort for me. I saw your ad on a website and decided it sounded like the perfect place to move. Hopefully, Christina will see that she would rather spend time here at home than spending every waking moment at her new clinic. Everything seems so nice and tidy here," I answered.
"Christina won't be spending much time at the clinic anymore. In fact, she won't be spending any time there. Walk with us, John. We will head to the men's club and talk to you more about the joys of living in Stepford," Tim half-whispered, as he turned to walk down a path leading away from the barn.
I was a little confused, but I decided to follow Tim and the other men of Stepford. The Men's Club was like a hunting lodge and a sports bar thrown into one building. There were sports on every screen and lots of alcohol, the finest money could buy. I settled down in an overstuffed chair with a pint of Guinness in the great room. Tim sat down in a chair near to mine and the other men clustered around in the other chairs. When everyone had quieted down, Tim leaned forward in a conspiratorial manner and started talking to me.
