I don't feel anything for Will past a school girl memory of having a high school crush. I just didn't think and made a mistake, please don't end our marriage because I had a stupid laps in judgment, please don't!"
"All right, the second option is we come to an understanding as to what our problems and expectations are. If we need to we can go to counseling when we get home. Looking back I can see how this episode is partially my fault. I should have been more in tune to your needs but you need to understand that you have really hurt me and frankly I don't have the trust in you that I had two days ago. It's going to take a while to rebuild that trust and it may never get back to where it was."
"I vote for the second option" she said somberly, "that is if my vote counts."
"This isn't an issue up for a vote. It's entirely your decision to make and what I want really doesn't matter. It's what you want that matters. My only position on this is that you can't have both, I will not allow that. One other thing I need to say before you decide what you want to do. Should you decide that you want to stay married you need to understand that in the future if anything like this ever happens again there will be no discussing it, no second chances, no reconciliations, we are through. Am I perfectly clear on this?"
"Yes, perfectly."
Externally I was as calm as the eye of a storm but inside my guts were churning like the storm was here and in full song. She had already indicated her choice but I had given my wife an ultimatum and in the past she had not reacted well to ultimatums. Quite frankly I would be destroyed if she decided that she did after all want to go her own way but I hadn't left any room for negotiation.
"Well Lyn, what's it to be?"
"Jesus Jim, do you really have to ask? Of course I want to stay married. I love and have always loved you. Like I said before, I let a bunch of little shit get to me and had a lapse in judgment and made a mistake. There are penalties for making mistakes and I accept that I will have to pay the price of those penalties. So be it." Then she reached across the table and squeezed my hand as she gave me a hopeful smile
Her smile ended the storm that had raged in me for the past few days and the sun shone into to my soul. I still wasn't happy about what happened and even worse, what I felt might have happened had I not been there to stop it, but I could deal with that. Also, logically, I either accepted what she said or I did not. I could go on trying to make her feel bad and mentally beating her up and in turn being miserable myself. Or I could accept what she had told me and what shithead had told me in the parking lot. What did I have to lose? God I was drained both mentally and physically and what I really wanted to do was cuddle up with my lover and best friend away from the job and house and kids and freeways for a while and heal. Truth is I could almost see her point of view.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and there stood Mike "I really do have to close up now; you guys need to go home."
I looked over at Lyn and she had this mysterious smile on her face and with a slight blush she said to me "I'm feeling a bit of a draft in here if you know what I mean. I think we should find someplace to warm up and see if I am still able to attract you to me."
I needed no further invitation and stood and smiled at Mike then reached for my wife's hand and helped her out of the booth.
"I've got one more favor to ask Mike, and I think you should do this one for free" I said jokingly.
He frowned like he was having a gas pain "OK one more as long as it doesn't take up any more time."
"Do you have a bottle of Champaign I can have and where is the nearest Motel with king-sized beds and an ensuite hot tub? I think I'll go trophy hunting."

AA82ndAA20 days agoNot bad at all. Nicely told and a very good story. As usual the woman has the dumb look and excuse that she didn't see the big deal because they didn't have penetration. O will never believe that most spouses believe this and Jim didn't want to divorce her or he would have let the evening play out. His actions were defensive of the marriage but I suspect, with her attitude they will have trouble in the future. Thanks for writing a very good and well told story
Anonymous21 days agoNicely done. She surely cheated. But while inexcusable, not unforgivable. And by taking action and intercepting, he maintained agency. He acted appropriately towards Will the asshole, and his wife. I personally woukd have been upset for a longer time and demanded some counseling as part of the second option, but it was not worth destroying a marriage over on its own. Her story about the phone calls seemed to make sense given thr hayride incident. Was it cook? Hell no. But it wasn't an emotional affair. He could also double check with his "source". That being said, if he had not intervened, Will would have probably tricked her and f$cked her that night. Why? I believe that got her the panty removal was the end. But Will would not stop. Look at what he did on the hayride that was borderline date rape. 5 stars.
Anonymous3 months agoI don't think she planned to cheat per se, but she did get very caught up in everything as a result of various factors (feeling old, Jim being too overworked to notice, previous history with Will, etc). That being said, while there wasn't direct intent, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that in all likelihood she would have ended up fucking Will had Jim not been there.
1) Will kept making advances and while she rebuffed them initially, she kept relenting. Multiple French kisses, then full-on tit groping, then seeing her bare pussy and giving her his pants;
2) Will admitted he wanted sex from her to Jim and Linda knew he wanted sex as he kept "hinting" at it, as she put it;
3) Linda admitted she was in a frame of mind that allowed her to sort of regress to where she was in highschool and she had a bit much to drink. If she kept going, all her inhibitions would have been lowered to the point where she wouldn't put up much of a fight, if any;
4) Linda was annoyed that Jim was there initially, was overly defensive and apprehensive, and was basically behaving very guilty. If it was no big deal there would be no reason to act that way. Clearly at least part of her was entertaining the idea of sex even if she didn't intent to actually do it at the time;
5) She never spoke to her husband about the various calls with Will and was very secretive and evasive when they came through. In my mind she knew this was wrong but wanted to keep her options open because she was pissed at Jim's lack of attention and the way she was feeling about getting older.
All-in-all, we have a housewife and mother that feels past it and neglected, who is getting a chance to live a bit and recapture her youth with the old "highschool dreamboat" that she feels she owes because she promised him her panties. This guy obviously wants to finish what he started 20 years ago and works her over, playing on her emotions and insecurities, and I believe would have succeeded that night in fucking her if Jim had not been there. I mean look how far he got and the way she was acting. I think almost everyone would conclude that it was a sure thing with a bit more time, flattery and alcohol.
Verdict: not a cheater, but not completely innocent; she failed the husband test on many occasions. She requires observation to rebuilt trust that was damaged as a result of her foolish actions. Maybe some counseling so she doesn't repeat the bullshit with the next Will that comes along. The husband will also have to be more attentive to her but she has to understand that he is very busy to provide for the lifestyle she enjoys so compromise and clear communication is required.
