Click hereJamie didn't seem to be listening so I went upstairs to move my things into the spare room. I would pack most of my stuff later but I needed some things now. When I went into the bathroom to get my supplies. I saw the ring still hanging where I left it. I looked at it and walked away, letting it stay.
I was sitting in the den a few days later, working on a few papers I wanted to make sure got filed as soon as possible when the phone rang. Since I wasn't sure if Jamie was home, I reached for it. I must have picked it up at the same instant Jamie did because I heard her say "Hello" in a quiet, subdued manner.
To my surprise, it was Walter Matthews! I wasn't aware he called here. I covered the mouthpiece and listened.
"Jamie, it's me, Walter. What's going on?"
"Walter! I told you never to call me here. And I told you I never wanted to see you or talk to you again so why are you calling?"
"Bullshit! Did you know that asshole husband of yours has filed suit against me in court for alienation of affections? The bastard filed it in court here in Cleveland. He had me served at home in front of my wife and kids. He's subpoenaed my wife! He's suing me for one million dollars!"
"He's what? Oh, my God. I knew he found out but I didn't know he would go this far." I heard a smothered laugh before she continued. "I'm sorry Walter but it's out of my hands. Guess you'll have to tell your wife now won't you? Guess your 'broken marriage' is really going to be broken up now. You lying piece of shit! After the lies you told me about your broken marriage, your hated wife, your pending divorce, you deserve this. So, go to hell you lying son of a bitch!"
She slammed the phone down while he was still yelling. I listened until he finally gave up and then put down my receiver. From what I heard, it sounded like old Walter and Ruth cooked up a plan and sold the bill of goods to Jamie. And she was stupid enough to fall for it hook, line and sinker. Too damned bad. She was too willing to be led by the nose by both her mother and her lover. Too willing to turn her back on me and our marriage. Too easy, that was the problem.
Jamie walked in just then, looked at me with a sad expression on her face and then said,
"You had this all planned out didn't you? You were just waiting until you had it all in place before confronting me. I've been married to you for almost twenty years and I can't believe I forgot your motto; 'Give them maximum pain and make it hurt for a long time.' I guess you're going for the maximum with Walter. How about me? What do you have planned for me?"
"For you? Nothing Jamie. I found I really hated what Walter did to me. Even if you were partly responsible, he knew better. He has a wife and five kids and he's fucking my wife? He's going to pay as much as I can get. And I've offered to pay Margaret for her divorce if she chooses to go that way. Maybe if you play your cards right, you can marry him when she kicks his ass out."
"You know better; I don't love him. I don't even like him right now. He lied to me about everything. He and my mother. I hate her and I hate him."
She looked at me with that look she always used to get what she wanted. "Can't you forgive me and let me make it up to you? I'll never do anything like this again, you know that. Please Jim, let me make it up."
"Sorry Jamie. You had your chance and you made your choice. Like I said, it was way too easy for you to walk away from me. Too easy by far! You made your choice and it was the wrong one."
I put down my papers, turned off the desk light and stood. She took in the suit and tie and freshly polished shoes. I was dressed to go out and she saw that.
"Don't wait up for me. I have a date tonight and I probably won't be back till morning."
I had a date with Rachael English tonight. She told me to bring my pajamas. When I asked her why, she just laughed and said it might be fun to undress me in the morning. As I left the house, I looked back to see Jamie standing in the doorway, tears in her eyes.
Consequences are a bitch!

jflindersabout 1 month agoI would have found the story more believable if Jamie hadn't been so over the top in her lack of respect and rudeness.
nixroxabout 2 months ago2 stars - I am sorry, but any man who puts up with a wife who suddenly decides she does not want sex with him anymore, is an idiot for letting it happen past 30 days. The stupid bitch should have been forced to see a doctor, or therapist, or to pack up and get out. This guy wasted 2 years of his life for what?
silverthorne162 months agoI liked the story, but had a few thoughts....supposedly, the wife was treating the MC badly long before she supposedly became a cheater. Why? It would have fleshed out the story more to learn about what, why, how and when this change in behavior started. Also, as the daughter was 16, she could have been allowed to stay with her father if that was her wish. The MC was likely very wealthy, being a founding partner, and would have likely kept the house if the daughter stayed with him. Plus, being a partner and wealthy, he could have easily managed to work less hours in order to be there more for his daughter. Having her live with a mother she now likely hated, would not be emotionally good for her.
Captainbkl10 months agoI have really liked your stories. In most of them the man actually stands up for himself. The only issue I have with this story is the MC allowing his daughter to live with his mentally deranged and morally bankrupt wife, and possibly the influence of his Mother in law. If the daughter is old enough to make her own decision, then she is old enough to be left alone at home. Wasn't she in her junior year of high school?
argomez9911 months agoI think that worse than the cheating was the lack of respect shown by Jamie over the past 2 years. The infidelity was just the proverbial straw.
GrassIsGreener11 months agoI have read many of the stories in this series. I know Jamie was wrong here and I am glad Jim can move on with his life, but her own mother duped her. I am not making excuses for her, but for the first time in this series, I feel like the wife was also a victim. Yes, they needed help, counselling, before she started to cheat. Had they dealt with their issues and had her mother not gotten involved, maybe she never would have cheated.
Drgwngover 1 year agoLoejtc below has only just touched on realit. The numbers are out ther but it takes digging. Three quarters of divorce started by women, they know they can profit . 70 percent of men who discover infidelity stay in an unhappy marriage since they will be raped in courts and financially. Female infidelity has tripled since the mid 90’s. Ninety percent of all alimony or maintenance is still paid by men to women, this after 60 years of so called feminism equality. Recent surveys of college women on dating sites shows 38 percent date only for free meals and drinks. Social scientists believe domestic violence is at parity, yet far more men are jailed, and women cause serious injury far more often as they employ weapons in domestic cases. It goes on and on.
Loejtcover 1 year agoIf the US married adult male population over 40 years old were analyzed in a objective unbiased anonymous study, I think we’d find tens if not hundreds of thousands of primarily celebrate husbands and not by choice.
Why so many commenters consider Jim’s two year sex drought preposterous is beyond me.
Let’s face it a large proportion of married women consider their pussy a prize to be awarded for good behavior and withheld as punishment for not “behaving” as she expects.
Personally, if it weren’t for children, I think the divorce rate would be mor like 80%+. And women would quickly realize that the opening between her legs ain’t so special after all any more than the sausage hanging between a guy’s legs.
