John
Ken called and said that Diane's lawyer called him and that she wanted to meet with me before she would agree to sign anything. Damn; I was hoping to avoid another session where Diane professes her love of me but also refusing to give up Tom. We chatted a bit and he basically said that if I were do it, talk to her, that it might speed things along and an hour of inconvenience would be worth it in the long-run to get this done and over. I had a hard time disagreeing so I told him that I would do it.
That night I called Diane and agreed to come over to the house the next night, after the kids were in bed, and we would talk, one final time.
**********
I pulled in the driveway about nine o'clock. The lights were all on around the house and I sensed that the kids were all up. When I went to the door and pushed the doorbell, the front door opened immediately. I saw the smiling face of Keith.
"DAD!! YOU'RE HOME! GUYS! DAD'S HOME!! GET DOWN HERE!!" He jumped into my arms. My god it felt good to hold him.
The rest of them all came running at me. They grabbed me in a hug and refused to let go. I admit that water was running from my eyes down my face. These are great kids, never mind how screwed up their mother was.
Diane was standing off to the side as I talked to the kids in the kitchen. I went to get a glass of water and then after a few minutes told them to go to bed, "You've got school tomorrow."
After they reluctantly trundled off, I sat at the table.
"So, Diane, what did you want to talk about?"
She looked at me and went to the refrigerator and got a bottle of wine. I noticed that it was unopened. She poured herself a small amount and sat down.
She took a sip. "Are you coming home?"
I answered her question with a question. "What made you think that I was coming home?'
"The kids miss you and need you, John. I miss you and I need you." There was a tone of sincerity there that had been missing a bit from before.
"You had lots of chances to decide what you wanted, who you wanted, a long time ago. You made your decision. Now I made mine. Besides, I'm guessing here but I figure that Tom has pretty much thrown you under the bus and told you that you're on your own here. If he's anything like his father, he's forgetting that he knows you and is busy making sure that Margaret is happy." I took a drink of my water.
Diane looked at the table and then she looked up at me. "John, you're the man that I wanted to marry. You're the man that I wanted to raise our kids. I love you so much, it hurts to see us doing this to each other. Can't we try to move past this. Somehow. We can go to counseling and work on it. I need you, the kids need you, and I know that you need them too."
"Are you done with Tom?"
Diane actually looked me in the eye, "Yes. Yes, I'm done with Tom. I'm done with him." Her voice was quite emphatic.
"Are you still working for the company?"
"I quit my job there and I'm looking for a new one."
That was the first good sign in all of this mess. I took another drink of water.
"John, Dear, I will promise you right now that I will be only yours, only yours, forever."
I sat in my own home with a million thoughts rushing through my head, they were swirling and turning and rushing around. I had to close my eyes and not look at anything. I was dizzy. I couldn't look at Diane just then or even the kitchen where I was. I couldn't even look at he floor. I couldn't think about anything.
I sat with my eyes shut very tight and I was trying not to hear anything. All I could do was feel the emotions running through me. They gripped me and tore at my brain and my heart and everything else. I saw the faces of the four amazing children that I called my own and I saw the face of the woman that had promised me...well, you know. I heard their voices and their laughter and their happiness. Could I give that up?
Where had things gone to hell? Where had my life gotten so fucked up? What was my future? What will my life be like without those that I hold the dearest. I so badly want to rewind the hands of time and make all the pain go away. Can I do it?
What do I do?
Do I stay or do I go?

26thNC14 days agoShe’s been cheating the entire marriage, and has four kids by he lover. How can there even be a question about what to do. Her lover dumped her, he should too. The kids are the quandary. What so you do about them?
Anonymousabout 1 month agoHonestly, this is the kind of story that if it happened in real life, and it does, you'd be reading about it in the paper because someone, sadly quite often the kids too, end up getting deleted.
The report would describe it as two seperate multiple homicides that they suspect are connected with either the perp self deleted or still at large.
Anonymousabout 1 month agoAnother story with an indecisive MC who's happy to live as a cuck because he is clueless about the judicial system. He'd have got custody of the kids as thename on the birth certificates, as the higher earner and as the primary carer, who hasn't been having an affair.
He'd also have a pretty good claim for child support from Tom.
Even ignoring all that, Tom made it very clear from the off that she was on her own, any woman that wouldn't be repulsed by such behaviour is a woman you don't want to be around. So why the MC fought for her is quite beyond explanation. Though I'm guessing he likes being a cuck. Definitely likes bringing up another man's kids while knowing his own bloodline will die with him, a total evolutionary failure.
bobareenoabout 2 months agoIt is interesting to have the same story retold with different trimmings over and over. And Diane would profess her love and get shat upon by Tom time and again, same outcome again and again, almost like the author forgot we went through this before. Yet, despite this, it is readable, and weirdly twilight zonish all at once. 4 stars, I guess I like the same story retold with a bit of the twilight zone inadvertently thrown in.
Anonymous2 months agoNo fucking question about it. You dump this cunt and try to get full custody of the kids. Tom takes a dirt nap.
Nitpic2 months agoFull of flaws.There is reference to three months later and two months later therefore not describing anything which given the circumstances is ridiculous.How did he manage to get all that leave of absence from his job?.Given the fact his wife had been fucking around on him,before and during their marriage producing four kids that aren't his,why didn't he have the marriage annuled?.If his wife can have four kids,how come he has not fathered any?.Why hasn't he suedTom for the costs of raising Tom's children?.
Anonymous3 months agoI think he should just jump right back into the frying pan, afterall, he is such a spineless wimp that he will be completely pliable to his wife's when she starts cheating on him again... the only people my heart aches for is the children caught up in this chaos and insanity.
Schwanze13 months agoStrange cat. I can’t imagine staying in that situation. If even one of the kids was his…maybe. How could you ever respect a woman who gave herself to a man who debased her on an ongoing basis. If I saw a single woman allow that from a single man I would consider her no more than a fuck bitch.
Having said that, all he had to do was let Tom’s wife know and the situation resolves itself.
Anonymous4 months agoDid you set out to write the most unbelievable story possible?
There's no way he or any rational man reacts this way finding out his 4 children have been fathered by another man in a decades old sexual relationship with his wife.
This is just long winded nonsense. It's like the author is taking pains to sit down and draw out this horrible situation as long as possible.
You find out with the blood type revelation. You then DNA test the kids.
And then you arrange for a very public very embarrassing reveal that outs the 2 cheaters to the point they cannot deny.
Then you leave. You serve divorce papers (or possibly annulment papers) on the wife. And you fike suit for fraud against your wife and her boss/lover for the entire scheme. Even if it is dismissed...the publicity is worth it.
Then you take your 6 million you've squirreled away...you leave. And you never come back.
And you do it immediately. You don't sit around for years trying to figure out what to do.
That's it. You leave. Move across the country. And start over.
This claptrap written here is foolish. As if any man could keep his sanity for years in this situation.
