"Emily, when we met and married, you were vivacious and fun loving. One of your favourite pastimes was to flirt with just about every guy who came in contact with you and that's the woman I'd like to marry again."
For just a couple of minutes, Emily stared at me without saying anything.
"You really mean that?"
"Yes, Emily, you asked me once if we could forget the past. I will always have trouble living down the fact that I didn't trust you when I should have done. But I would like you to stop thinking that you brought it all on yourself. I'd like to spend the rest of my life with the Emily I married all those years ago.
+++++++++++++++++
Emily and I went before a registrar less than a week later. Then we flew out to Tenerife for our honeymoon. I can't say it's been a smooth ride since, but I know that Emily is happy now.
Margo married Darren in the end. She had the poor guy running around like a tit in a trance for a while. Emily still has the odd session with Darren; Christ alone knows what they talk about but Emily always comes home smiling.
Kathy? She married a Protestant Irish doctor she met whilst visiting Pat at the hospital when he was in there having a heart bypass done.
Bridget's away at Uni. I worry a bit there, because Bridget's just as good looking as her mother was at her age and she has developed the same vivacious character. Damn it, when she's home for the holidays, she ties up the phone all the time with guys calling her and she appears to con a different guy into driving her home every time she comes. They all seem to have that gooey-eyed look about them that the guys used to get around Emily when we were young.
Emily and I get along fine now, although sometimes I catch her watching me with a far away look on her face. One time when I asked what she was thinking, she smiled and said. "Oh, just how lucky I am to have a man who would risk his life for me."
"But I told you, there was never any real danger when I was in Ireland."
"So you say, Anthony. But from what Pat and Kathy told me, you didn't know that!" she replied.
Then she got out of the chair she was sitting in and held out her hand to me.
"Let's go up to the bedroom and I'll show you how much I love you."
Life goes on.

ImNotanAnonabout 2 months agoNancyHarpman17, I don't think you read the same story we did. Unless, your built-in misandry is leaking out.
Wolfgang1955about 2 years agoExcellent story. I don't care for everyone jumping to conc. Work on it. 5☆
Rancher46over 2 years agoWhat a great love story, it was well written with great character development. I guess the message in this story was trust and how if a marriage is to become successful you must trust your spouse unconditionally. Anthony's mistake was that he trusted the video over his wife's plea that it wasn't her and it was fake. In the end when the truth came out, he had to then work at getting the forgiveness from his exit and rekindle the love they once had. Great happily ever after ending. Well done 5 stars
Alericalmost 4 years agoWhile I agree with you about the flirting, I can see why Anthony would want that. He wanted his wife back, not the pale shadowy version that she had become. He needed her to stop walking on eggshells and let herself become a real person again. Plus hadn't she proven beyond a doubt that she could be trusted no matter what? She spent 10 years in hell rather than give in to people who were trying to blackmail her into cheating on him. I think she earned a reprieve.
Grimmerover 4 years agoThis in my mind really killed the series. Another case of where the man is supposed to be able to read the freakin’ minds of the women involved instead of making assumptions when they appear to be going off the wall.
While this series started well, the farther it went, the further off the rails it was driven. It’s a story. Still ...
Powersworderover 4 years agoIt was a great story, but the blackmailers didn't suffer enough for what they did. They tore apart a family and stole 10 years of Tony and Emily's lives, preventing them from having more children together.
The only part I really didn't like was him encouraging his wife to flirt again. No man likes seeing his woman sexually tease other men, it can easily get out of hand. The sad fact is that Emily's excessive flirtation directly led to all their grief. If she hadn't acted so unprofessionally at work, she wouldn't have caught the blackmailers' attention... and her flirting must have been ridiculous if all her colleagues thought she was the office whore.
Her husband might have believed her too if she hadn't given him countless reasons over the years to think she had a wandering eye.
SlipperySaddleBumover 4 years agoOnly a sadist or sick sonofabitch is pleased to see his wife or girlfriend cock teasing other men. Anyone who can't figure out that, sooner or later, the right guy's going to come on the scene and get lucky. If or when the idiot husband finds out that she's shared his goodies, it's a guaranteed trip to the hospital, divorce court, to the morgue or, possibly, prison.
What an absolutely DUMB fucking attitude. Wives sure as hell don't put up with it. In fact, how often do we hear of wives who fuck another man for revenge because she's pissed at her husband for flirting with other women?

What constitutes innocent?
Different definitions from different people and countries
As Clinton defined sex
Nicealloverover 5 years agoI certainly love happy endings. I think that the ending is a bit too tame. It would have been better to have Emily experience a darker past than her husband expected. To love is too forgive!
Pappy7over 6 years agoI don't know any man who is completely comfortable with his wife flirting and playing up to every man she sees. After a while he has to begin to wonder what it's all about. Most people try to tone it down after they get married. So I can see where, in the back of his mind, hubby had been expecting something like the video to be a possibility for a long time. Story also said that the other women at work thought she was putting it about too. When other women are convinced of something like that, something is going on at work to lead them to that conclusion. Might be innocent flirting on Emily's part or it might be deliberate taunting backed by her sense of entitlement because of her looks. Evidently some man or another was always blowing smoke up her ass and that kept her going. What some people see when a woman is constantly fluttering around men, touching and smiling and taunting is evidence of an affair, not innocence. But, very well written story, great characterizations and a plausible plot. I hope you are still reading the comments on your Wanderer stories because you are one of the best on here. Thanks for sharing.
Pappy
