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...

Life (and marriage) isn't easy always. It can be work but will only succeed if both try. Thanks for the tale Slirpuff.

She falsely thought he liked their life the way it was. In fact he felt in a rut too. Poor communication. She was never going to cheat unless drugged or excessively drunk and somehow split off from the herd. But the way she handled her discontent was not healthy. She abused his trust, until he lost trust in her. Her feeling of discontent was eroding their time together and making her more unhappy, making her long for the GNOs, feeding a vicious cycle. The interactions came off as realistic. No fanciful plans of intelligence gathering or planned revenge. No elaborate scheme to cuckold her husband. She wanted to dance, let her hair down and have fun, feeling trapped. But again she was fulfilling her own prophecy and making the marriage suffer. He was bored, then miserable. He didn't just accept it. He left. He threatened to file and told her he emphatically did NOT trust her. When she tried being a harpy, he just left and locked the door. She knew she was being a bitch. And he was being a bit of an ass. They both had to get to the truth. Her secret was her malaise the last 6-7 months during which the GNOs started. She had no intention to blow up their marriage or their family. They both had harsh prenuptials based on their proprietary bad experiences. What she really need was so.eone besides her flight friends to talk to. Like a real therapist. Or a good, sensible friend. Then communicate to her husband. By being a bit of an ass and applying pressure, he brought the truth to the surface. Then they worked out a solution. Sure some trickery on his part with the PI threat, but they resolved things quickly. Sometimes a couple needs to get out of the daily grind to see things differently. He'll a romantic vacation would have done it but w a expensive and impractical. But a key thing is that once communication is open, don't belittle someone for how they feel. How they think? Yeah you can argue and fight back. But how they feel? Nope. Doesn't work. Just makes it worse. And also.make sure to carry through on your promises. Have good intentions even if not all promises are always 100% successful. Makes the other partner know you value them. They made the right choice andndefused things early enough and it helps a lot that her motives while a bit selfish were not self destructive or out of control. He watched her at the club. She danced and flirted (which I know some guys cannot handle, and yes flirting is a risk factor for adultery) but nothing else untoward happened. And she didn't know he was there the entire time. Good, actually great story. Wonderfully realistic about a tough situation that they resolved without the usual implosion drama of a marriage. 5 stars.

I never could understand why contentment gets tossed aside so often in marriages . I liked this story so much I came back and read it again.

a successful life and marriage is knowing when to be happy with what you have . the second you start thinking what if,or i need something else to be happy the excrement hits the fan !!
