I'd like to say that the three of us lived happily ever after. Not quite true. Mostly true, though.
Jan had a few minor relapses in the first few weeks after Gail joined us at the house. But we all worked through them. Jan asked to watch Robert's farewell video, so the three of us sat on the living room couch and watched it together.
Part way through the video Jan began to cry. Gail and I held her hands to comfort her. When it was over, Jan spoke.
"He was really angry and bitter towards the end about Karen's death and his early demise. He really was a much better man before. He was not kind to you, Greg. I'm sorry."
"Did you enjoy fucking him, Jan?" I asked sharply. Reviewing the video had brought up some of my resentments.
Jan began sobbing and she curled up on the couch pushing me away.
"That was uncalled for, Greg," Gail said sharply. "Did you enjoy fucking me while Jan was in the hospital? You both did what you had to do. Now don't beat her up over it."
"Okay, you are right," I said contritely. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Jan."
I lay down next to her on the couch and held her until she stopped crying.
"It's over," I declared softly to her. "It's over, now. Let it all go. We are together. We are going to stay together."
****************
At the end of the summer, the three of us visited Joe and Becky in the Bay Area. The visit was pleasant, and we agreed to meet at least annually. We introduced Gail as my aunt. I thanked Joe for his help, and I told him that Jan and I planned to stay married. He was pleased.
When we returned from our trip, I called a family meeting.
"Now that we have Robert's annuity, I don't need to work. I'd like to retire now, seven years earlier than planned. What do you two think?"
Gail and Jan looked at each other and smiled.
"If you retire now," Jan asked impishly, "will you have more time to fuck us?"
I retired the next day.
Sometimes life does turn out well for nice guys, after all.

Anonymous20 days agoEpically bad ending. Joe was afraid he'd get sued. The rest was just trying to get clear of the incoming lawsuits and family embarrassment when Robert's actions were exposed in open court. Remarrying his wife and having anything to do with her was a complete non-starter.
TrainerOfBimbosabout 1 month agoThis was a pretty good story until Jan came back to Spokane. Unlike a lot of people I don't have an issue with reconciliation as a premise (in fact, sometimes I really like them). The issue I have is that Jan NEVER TALKED ABOUT IT and on top of that, Greg has like no visceral reaction to this massive betrayal by his wife and one of his good friends. He just kind of shrugs his shoulders and goes, "Oh well, I'm getting some septarian pussy on the side." (and totally ignoring all the younger women in his office, wtf!?!)

It's just really, really unsatisfying. The nicest thing I can say about this story is that your premise was really great and unusual and I think you did lay the groundwork for a reconciliation with Jan's obvious mental illness (although you could have made it more obvious actually in the beginning). But you failed on delivering on your good premise.

I'm not going to throw a 1 at you like a lot of people did, but I have to say that I really think you shot yourself in the foot here by glossing over Jan's return and the fallout from that.
