I looked at Tricia and in a loud tone said, "Tricia, I love you and you broke my heart when you told me you were going out with Brian. My 'fight or flight' military training kicked in and I decided to fight. If you were going to see other men, then I would respond by dating other women. I never wanted to do that and I'm regretful it happened, but this was on you. In the future, if you do something like that again, you will have divorce papers within a week. I will not put up with a cheating wife. I realize and understand that you didn't consider this a date, which is why I'm willing to work on our marriage but don't ever try that again."
Everyone was quiet after that outburst and things had changed. Tricia was more in tune with my feelings, and we talked more and turned this ridiculous event into a stronger marriage. We continued therapy for several months and found new ways to keep each other as our main focus in the relationship.
Angel was understanding and even called Tricia to tell her she would back off and not go after her husband but if she ever wanted to ditch him, she would be happy to step in.
Tricia realized what she had and how quickly she could lose me to another woman. She never again gave me a reason to be jealous or even think about being with a man. She now understood the meaning of a date and that there are consequences for poor choices. Brian and Tricia remained friends, but Brian was too scared to ever make another move or be more than friends at work.
I realized that sometimes women Can't Understand Normal Thinking.

FaShUnPhOtOg7 days agoOk, Cindy is a good author. However, I have to stick to my guns and only give 1 ⭐️. Why? It’s an automatic 1 ⭐️ for any story where the BS gives up the marital bedroom. Nope. Unh uh. Giving up the marital bed, weakens the BS’s position and passively says the cheating is ok. I didn’t put up with it in real life and certainly don’t when reading about it in stories. Furthermore, I don’t buy Tricia’s belief it wasn’t a date. Dinner and a movie? Really? That’s the definition of a date. And she was well aware of it. But then, I’ve counseled enough couples to understand that men and women think differently so perhaps in her mind it was all innocent fun. And I might agree if it was a quick trip to the pub for an after work drink, but not dinner and a movie….
MountainMan1336about 1 month agoWell I thought this was a good story and gave it 5 stars. That guy Brian was a weasel looking to score on a naive married women thinking he was going to get laid until he met her husband. I think the husband should have put Brian in the hospital for a few weeks. You do not ask a married woman out on a date! If you wanted to spend time with her as a friend you would ask her AND her husband out to dinner to get to know them better.
Sragicabout 2 months agoPut yourself in my shoes. Treat others the way you want to be treated. How would you feel if I did that to you?
My entire life I've always thought in those ways. But something I finally realized, was that some or maybe even many people do not. Some people are too self-centered or... well I'm not sure what. Some brains are incapable of "putting themselves in someone else's shoes." It seems they usually don't have much common sense either. They can be dumb or intelligent but not good critical thinkers. I stay clear of these people, once realized. They only cause me pain and anger.
I have no faith in conseling for anything. I don't think it works. And counseling can not help these type of people change. Maybe temporarily, but they will always revert back, in my experience anyways. Their brains are different. They are different. I'd say they make up 20-30% of the population.
Good story! I like many tales from this author.
sbrooks103xabout 2 months agoHey, TraLaLa, I DO trust my wife, and I know she WOULDN'T do that, but IF she did, I wouldn't buy that nothing happened, and I wouldn't expect her to believe me, either!
Anonymousabout 2 months agoThink it would have been beneficial to have a "come to Jesus" moment with Brian.
Anonymous3 months agoDid the bitch Brian also view their date night like Tricia, just friends like hanging with the guys? Didn't he know she was married? Brian was a homebreaking bitch
Anonymous4 months agoGood story. Entertaining. Tricia was naive. Not delusional just really naive. 5 stars.
Anonymous5 months agoTricia has only air between her ears, and her husband should have kept Angel, and put love pee in her to make her a mommy, and wife...
Anonymous6 months agoMorale of the story.....Turnabout is fair play. Good story, where the point of the protagonist was clearly and loudly pointed out to the antagonist. Well thought. Ending was a bit hurried. Therapy is a long term thing. Takes time to regain trust.
Anonymous6 months agoGreat read. Short, to the point, informative without dragging out the detail, and still a complete story. I also like how he reacted. It was quick, and I believe it saved the marriage. Most other stories, the man just acts dumbfounded and helpless, then suddenly his "hidden talents," come into play and it results in divorce. Granted, that's to be expected in the stories where the wife tells her husband that she also plans to fuck her date and not wait up for her. However, it makes you wonder what can be accomplished when one spouse or the other has the fortitude to quickly stand up for themselves and stand behind what they say.
goodshoes28 months agoWomen can't understand normal thinking. Hell of a statement. The women I have known (no------friends' wives, girlfriends going way back to high school, etc.) have all had some of that trait. My present wife doesn't have it, thank God. Just seen the results of the non-normal thinking too much in my life. Hey, there are also guys out there that are pieces of s---. So don't get on my back.
Anonymous8 months agoI think you have a firm grasp of reality. You also seem to be able to write little gems like this that are gripping but still plausible. That’s a gift. Thank you for your wonderfully crafted story.
