Click hereKurt was now crying loudly. Marla had never seen him cry like that. He was in so much pain. A pain she had caused by her selfish behavior. Marla sobbed thinking about their marriage ending.
They just sat for a few minutes crying, both trying to get their wits about them.
"Marla, I think we have talked it out tonight. We can talk more tomorrow. Will that work?"
"Can I stay here tonight Kurt? I will sleep in the guest room then we can talk again in the morning." Kurt just nodded.
"I love you Kurt. I know I—we have made some major mistakes here but I want you to know, before we go to bed, that I don't want a divorce." I'm hoping you can forgive me for being so stupid and for disrespecting you. It breaks my heart for the hurt I have caused you."
"I can promise you I would never, ever look at another man. I am only yours for the rest of our lives if you can find a way to forgive me."
Kurt wasn't so sure about the future of their marriage so he just nodded again.
"I love you too, Marla, good night."
----*----
Marla came into the kitchen the next morning. Kurt was sitting at the table drinking his coffee. Her cup, as usual, was sitting beside the pot waiting for her. Marla knew Kurt had been up early and fed the animals and done the typical morning chores.
As she thought about his predictable routine tears came to her eyes. How had she not cherished this man who seemed to always be caring for her and the things she loved?
The horses were hers, but he never complained about taking care of them. He never really complained about much. He had spent the better part of his life providing for the family. He always helped with the kids and never missed their events.
She broke her leg once in a riding accident, and he had waited on her hand and foot for weeks. He even seemed to enjoy caring for her during that time. This man truly loved her with all of his heart.
As Marla poured her coffee with all these thoughts running thorough her head, before she could even speak, she broke down crying. She couldn't even turn around and face Kurt. She just stared at the coffee pot and cried.
"Hey, sweetie. My coffee isn't that bad is it?" he joked.
Marla tried to laugh but it only interrupted the crying for a second.
"Marla, let's try to hold the crying back a bit. All is not lost. Let's talk and see where we are at. After you went to bed I thought about everything we talked about last night. I do love you more than life itself, and we just somehow lost our way. I thought about our early life together, raising our children and now they are adults having our grandchildren. Our life here at the ranch, your riding and my mountain adventures, we have so much together, and apart it wouldn't be the same.
"Besides all that we have together, it's my love for you that I would never get past. Marla, if we divorced I would still spend the rest of my life loving you. I'm willing to try to find a path forward that keeps our marriage intact. I don't know how but maybe we can find a way to forgive each other. Let's discuss trying to stay married."
Marla's eyes lit up brightly.
"Oh my god, Kurt, really? Could you really forgive my stupidity, my selfishness? If you can forgive me I promise to spend every day for the rest of my life making it up to you."
"Well, forgiveness is going to take some time, but we can stay together and try to figure out why all this happened. We need the help of some counseling. What happened was very ugly and very damaging but we can try to forgive each other."
"Marla, trust will be hard for us to rebuild. If you ever look at another man sideways I will be gone. I couldn't go through this shit again. And you have to promise me that if you find that I'm not enough for you that you will have the courage to tell me, even if it means the end of our marriage. Can you promise that, Marla? If you can, I will promise to cherish you and never touch another woman for as long as I live."
"Oh, Kurt. You don't have to worry about any of that. I am going to work for the rest of my life trying to make it up to you. And I will never deny you anything sexually. Besides, I want some of what I saw you giving Vickie", Marla winked.
What followed at the Henderson household was very predictable.

Anonymous1 day agoWhy would you marry someone if you're not comfortable sharing your sexual desires with them? Seems like that would be pretty damn important to know before committing to someone. I swear it's like most couples in these stories don't even get to know one another before marrying and don't seem to do much in that vein afterwards either if shit like this happens. Do they not communicate at all!?
Anyway her whole "I didn't want you to think I was a slut" is definitely one of the weakest excuses for fucking around, considering that she literally becomes a slut for another person instead of for the person she promised to forsake all others. Loving Wives wife logic at its finest. And I don't know why Kurt is so concerned about their ~30 year marriage and not wanting to walk away when his wife clearly never valued it that much, given how she was willingly shitting all over it for a few years with her selfish slutty behaviour. That poor cuck.
Anonymous15 days agoFirst of all, your punctuation – especially the quotation marks – need some help. It’s simple – get yourself a proofreader Or just research. At times you had Kurt talking over three paragraphs and I thought they changed the talking, meaning his wife made some comments. OK enough of that.
More to the point, two years, maybe more!, And the wimpy husband doesn’t know what to do? That is not only outrageous, but shows him to be some kind of large pussy. That could be the only reason he did not react and react strongly.
She says she’ll never look at another man if they forgives her. Just the same woman that had not one but three different men, even though the third one stop things. So he is going to trust her? She’ll probably toe the line for several months and then will return to reactions, most likely. The big difference is that she won’t go to the same motel and do it on the same day since she knows she got caught that way.
He’s a fool to even think about it, and then idiot to even try to save his marriage. He may not want to divorce, but they can’t have everything in his life that he wants.
Almost gave this one star because of this content, but feeling good so I’ll give this two stars. But doesn’t deserve anymore. Bob
Anonymous2 months agoOh hell no. Two YEARS??? Two guys? I don’t care if she didn’t actually fuck the 2nd one. I hate this fuckin’ trope… I didn’t want you to think I was a slut so I went and acted like a slut with someone else. Jeezus. To the curb, Felicia!
Willupboss4 months agoI know this is one of your earliest works. I’ve read every story of yours but about two and this is undoubtedly the best. Good story and well edited. Thanks for writing!
Anonymous5 months agoIck. Author's worst. I like a reconciliation as much as the next guy but no way here. She is an execrable woman. Cannot believe she tried to chase guy #2 when she was almost caught by Brian's wife. Husband tortured himself over it and then had an affair with Vicki. They probably did way linkier stuff than his wife did with Brian. She had also strong emotional affair. She really cared for maybe even loved Brian. Once a week for 18+ months with same guy for several hours each time. And her excuse was she was afraid that hubby would be hurt by her wanting kinkier sex. Kids are out of the house. Just split assets and move her out of vice versa. She is a toxic person. Reconciliation here was an atrocious RAAC.
