Neither one of us had anymore to say so we went upstairs together and went to bed. Did we make love? Not that night but the next three nights.
Life got a lot better after that. Beth went out with her three girlfriends and she did nothing with anyone else. How do I know that? I don't. You see, I never did hire that private detective to film them. I checked on the price and it was way too high, but I didn't tell Beth that. And Rick did put together some type of divorce papers that I conveniently left on my desk for about a week so Beth was sure to see them.
Now I take my wife out to dinner and dancing at least once every two weeks and yes I said dancing. We signed up for couple's salsa dancing classes. You see, after Latin dancing with my wife for an hour or two she about kills me in bed.
I don't think Beth is bored any more but if she is, she's hiding it well. And, she was wrong about one thing. I too felt like we were in a rut. And when we were at the mall, I looked at all the pretty ladies when they walked by. Did I ever feel like taking it any further? Never. I didn't want to end up a two-time loser like my ex Susan. I had the best family a man could ask for and a little strange stuff wasn't worth it no matter how good it looked on the outside.
So, no one cheated, got cuckolded, or even got divorced. Boring fucking story, but that's sometimes what life is. But hell, who am I to judge how people live? I've got my own life to worry about...

Good story but "just felt off"; like something was missing. You know the feeling; you pick up a six pack an a can falls out of the plastic.
You Know
During the course of a marriage there will be times when things are a little off. But if there is true love you survive those times and continue on.
But if you wake up one day two years after your wife died and discovered it was all a lie, well, join the club.more...
The comments are justified
Her actions or lack of actions towards her marriage and husband was an infidelity alarm. Her lack of respect, imagine a 21 something hot blond with her husband just saying only friends, how long before the frying pan is up side his head? let him come home with perfume on his clothes, don't think she has men's cologne on her dresses do you? the smell of smoke? try switching rolls and see what happens, not only sleeping on the couch or den but soon on the lawn. I agree a lot of the stories here showcase wives that consider harmless flirting, dirty dancing and rubbing normal activities in their mind, but allow the husband the same freedom and the doors are closed in the husbands face quick and hard. The husband is considered a cheater and out to leave the wife and kids while the wife can do the same and expect no reactions and if any, the husband is over reacting. Which is the case shown early on several paragraphs and he did sleep on the couch.more...
My issue with this is lack of communication
I talked to her often and she said nothing was wrong. Huh? That's the time to start and dirt it out.
IF MORE THAN ONE PERSON IS AWARE
