Click hereThe one thing I thought would never heal was the trust thing. For a long time I was always wondering if I could ever trust her again. It got so bad I realized I'd either have to give that monkey up or give up my wife. I decided to throw the trust thing out the window. I try not to think about it. If she's going to do something there's nothing I'll ever be able to say or do to stop her. Do I still have doubts? I wouldn't be human if I didn't, but it'll be what it'll be.
Right now we're in bed together. She's asleep. I hear her soft breathing. It was a pleasant evening; nothing spectacular, one good time for each of us. Missionary, vanilla, sure, but we keep a nightlight on and we get to look at each other that way. For a few minutes its cheek to cheek, lips to lips, eye to eye, two bodies, two lives, one entity, inseparable; then we're done, we roll over and hug and cuddle and spoon until it's time to go to sleep.
We've come to realize marriage is a two way street; give and take, for better and for worse. Joyce and I, we almost lot it, but I think we'll be OK now. Life's too short, a good love's hard to find, we've got to make the most of what we've got, so right now I'll just say goodnight.

Anonymous5 days agoWhat makes people throw away things that are broken, unless it's a spouse, and that broken thing they keep?
Sad.
Anonymous5 days agoBTW, not only a cheater but LIES TO YOUR FACE as well (remember she didn't know who's viper it was?)
Such a keeper you have! I'm SO envious! (Not!)
Anonymous5 days agoIt isn't whether she did or didn't ....YET. It's a personality deficit.
She did it. She cheated. Author correctly quotes multiple sources.
I could have stayed with a cheater once. But I knew I would always remember. How can you not?
It is a stain that never washes out, no matter how hard you try to make it go away.
Now I look into eyes that I know would never hurt me for the world and I am SO GLAD I left the cheater behind.
Anonymousabout 1 month agoAwareness. Caught error in time. Communicated seriously, honestly and really changed. Everyone adjusted and overcame. Good family teamwork.
Anonymous2 months agoExcellent story and I think this is a happy ending without violence or serious payback where the hubby usually gets in trouble with the Law. Great job, Carvohi
Anonymous3 months agoI agree with MarkTwine. Religious people are so stupid. That REVEREND Sri Issac Newton was one dumb MFer. I mean, who needs physics, am I right?
MarkTwine3 months agoBy making your characters religious people, it’s believable that they could be so stupid and gullible. The slut was definitely heading toward some strange dick. Lucky for her the husband was a stupid cuckold.
Anonymous3 months agoA solid four stars.BTW, did you intentionally pack all those clothes into the last paragraph? Almost a masterpiece of chlichedom. But that's just me

bigurn3 months agoOnce again, what an idiot! So, the slut and the asshole go on with no actual repercussions... And the idiot says ; Duh, it's OK... No big deal. 3 Stars, just for your efforts.

=====> Hehe. He caved. But it worked out. Liked the President Carter quote. For all that people bashed his administration, we (as in America) have not had a President since then with remotely the same moral fiber. It just isn't close. Sad. Good story. Realistic. Well written. Good to see the slow deconstruction of her illusion of Kevin the Snake, and her realization that she wad being played by a player. Husband had a point, that she never had any armor develop against a seducer. Her life had been sheltered and at times seemed too constraining and too hectic. Doesn't excuse what she did and almost did but it does lend credence as to why she did it and why she was vulnerable. Honestly for a guy in a small town with a "rough" exterior, he was quite wise. I didn't mind him telling the kids. Bit early and abrupt but they were old enough also. It certainly altered the tenor of their conversation. Liked also how he blew up her "things" argument. He did get lucky catching them as soon as he did. Another week or two and she would have fallen. Seeing her mom helped I am sure. The MIL supported both her daughter and her son in law but also knew people in the community were observing things and rumors were swirling. Glad they worked it out. Clearly was a shock to her at first. She was on the knifes edge. But things changed for her when she saw Kevin lie to his wife. 5 blazing stars for the complexity and the characters. Really enjoyed thr husband.
Anonymous4 months agoGreat, realistic tale. This actually played out almost verbatim in my parent's church when I was a teenager. The small church, like many, became a little fiefdom for egotism and narcissism . The lead soprano and lead tenor, both married to others, were caught red-handed in the sanctuary..... i love hypocrisy.
