The object in my hand is small and seems completely harmless it is less than 12 cm long slightly more than 5 cm wide and about 6 mm thick it is made of plastic and has a glass surface inside it there is a set of microchips to perform the
Functions assigned to it a seemingly innocent item and yet the greatest threat to privacy the world has ever known we call them cell phones and voluntarily carry them with us everywhere so anyone can spy on us George or well seems like a boring Prophet when you look at the current
Reality 20 years ago they were a novelty now we perceive these small toys as a necessity the world changes even when we sleep I know what you’re thinking there are rules and buil-in protections but just think about the device in my hand right now it belongs
To my wife with whom I have lived for more than 19 years she was never anything other than loving and supportive she is a dominant spouse but not obstinate it for my part I believed in the sanctity of marriage the obligations assumed must not be violated
I was sure that we would grow old together and that she would hold my hand on my deathbed I made this deal many years ago I traded my youth and freedom for the pleasure of her body next to me in bed I traded my life for her love and
Devotion this commitment with me is stronger than any steel bars I’m not some romantic idiot I’m far from that marriage is something I take seriously it was not love that was on my side but a rational decision Doris my wife is a romantic and perhaps this is the problem
Of an ancient incompatibility that is finally making itself known here I am with my wife’s iPhone at 2: in the morning in the Small downstairs office we usually share I borrowed the phone from the table next to her bed in our marital area this is the only time he was available she never
Leaves him she like most modern women never goes anywhere without her phone she spends more time on it than on any other activity he is within her reach 24 hours a day it is in her purse or bag when not in her hands he lies next to
The bed when she sleeps I had to wait until I was sure she was asleep to take it why take her phone number you ask I ask myself have I gone crazy how can I suspect my loving wife what’s wrong with me I blame my profession for everything
She called me which made me suspicious I only see the dark side the evil that people do not the good to put it bluntly I am a lawyer there besides the grace of God there is you therefore I suspect her without good reason or basis it was a
Small thing I walked into the kitchen as my wife Doris actually Dolores but no one uses her full Christian name was talking on the phone in all previous cases she would continued to ignore my presence but this time she immediately hung up and seemed to get nervous later
That evening I asked her for her phone number so I could call for the pizza I convinced her to have for dinner we no longer have a home phone since the girls went away to University it became part of a strategy to save money any way we could she’s usually against takeout
Because she’s very conscious of her weight but today she quickly gave in and gave up her phone easily why not she cleared her phone log and text messages no doubt being a Layman she thought it was a good idea but it wasn’t in fact it screamed cheating I suspect because
Clearing the log is an attempt to hide so what is it hiding that’s what I need to find out I’m fairly well informed and know that it’s easier to tap a cell phone than a more traditional phone if you don’t believe me go online and type
In cell phone bug and see what comes up I even bought a little book on Amazon for war 99 that explains all the basics the big problem with the iPhone is jailbreak hacking flashing what is it well it’s having to change Apple’s core operating code to allow you to install
Non-apple software my loving daughters broke the software lock on their mother’s phone when she first received it the girls were very proud of their ability to do this holding my wife’s phone in one hand and the small cable that connects to the iPad in the other I
Hesitate am I the Right person now do I want to do this dare I do it the reality is that this could end 19 years of marriage a very good marriage why am I looking for a way out we are a happy couple there is nothing I could ask of
Her that she wouldn’t do for me on the other hand she rarely asks for anything in return I entered into our marriage reluctantly but I never regretted it I’m David P Landon Jr I was at a frat party now forget everything you know about fraternities the brothers of Sigma Chi
Are a fraternity that doesn’t fit the mold they were the biggest fraternity on campus Because all you needed to join was a good heart that’s right the brothers did not respect money or position it was all about Brotherhood and doing the right thing jocks mixed with Nerds academic stars with guys
Constantly on probation it was not uncommon to see a group drinking beer in the basement while upstairs there were long t ing sessions for those brothers who needed help all Races and religions mixed together we were brothers to become one of us it was enough to be a
Good person it sounds simple but it’s not when you fail to live up to the standard you let everyone down the feeling of guilt is the hardest thing the realization that you have failed your brothers being a sigma meant having all the responsibilities that came with being a good brother the the annual
Freshman reunion was one of those responsibilities the older brothers were chaperon we invited all freshmen boys and girls the girls invited the boys so that we could look at potential Brothers in advance more women came than men because everyone knew you were safe in sigma’s house we were all gentlemen I
Was a second-year law student and usually well insulated from the campus parties but now it was my turn along with nine other Brothers to watch the newcomers it was a responsibility if you’re a sigma you don’t shy away from responsibility Doris came to the party with her girlfriends I don’t know what
They were doing but they were very happy when they came of course I recognized her she was the eldest daughter of my mother’s best friend when I entered University I was not yet 18 Doris was thin and flatchested since then I have seen Doris several times but my memory memories of
Her have been tainted by earlier memories in my mind she remained a child this was no longer the case she was a graceful young woman although still very young but definitely more of a woman than a girl I had no choice but to come up and say hello Doris was 6 years
Younger than me as were the friends she was with my intention was to say hello and leave things as they were she was high I hoped it was just marijuana or alcohol and I didn’t want to embarrass her Doris greeted me enthusiastically and kissed me deeply on the lips she was
Always friendly and pleasant to be around but it was obvious that she liked to show me off as an older student whom she happened to know the fact that I was a member of the fraternity and one of the official hosts was a bonus for her I
Ended up looking after them all evening and driving them home after the party Doris took advantage of the opportunity and made an appointment with me for the following week we became friends and dated until the end of the semester nothing serious she was a freshman and I
Was a graduate student so it wasn’t a serious relationship at least on my part she broke off the relationship she wanted to date other people I didn’t mind at the time but I quickly became depressed I felt like I was missing her I didn’t know why she wasn’t beautiful
In the classical sense of the word she had such a young fresh and innocent look she was very pretty there was nothing impressive about her appearance but one look into her soft brown eyes and I was hooked it was not love on my part but rather a deep attraction Doris had a
Wonderful bubbly personality when she left she left a big hole I’m smart no insightful but introverted and a little shy and he tends to withdraw into himself Doris is outgoing and if given the chance ANS will make friends with everyone in the room she’s the first person everyone invites to a party and
The last person everyone wants to see leave but she broke up with me to date other guys I accepted it I was hurt I was left with a bruised ego but that’s what breaking up with you does and then came July after my second year of law
School I needed summer practice a summer job during your sophomore year is practically a necessity if you want to graduate from school with job process ects I was looking for work in New York Chicago Washington and all the big cities but everyone else was looking too
I eventually found a job in our sleepy little college town at an Old Law Firm the apartment I shared with two others was only rented until June I needed to find accommodation for the summer luckily the university had opened a dorm for summer school students and they needed an assistant a responsible older
Student who could act as a surrogate parent the rent was free in exchange for me coming as needed this suited me and it meant that the meager salary of a legal clerk could be put to better use Doris went to summer school and lived in
The dorm that I supervised I did my best to avoid her until one day I walked up the stairs and she was a whole flight ahead of me when I reached my floor Doris was coming down from the other side quite strange I thought but she
Came to block my way up I want to talk she said about what I asked trying to walk past her about us and what stupidity I did as it turned out she regretted the breakup and was completely remorseful she asked for a second chance
I wasn’t sure but I saw no reason not to start dating and keep my emotions in reserve this time Doris did not joke but pressed me her birthday is August 15th she turned 18 that summer and when I asked her what she wanted for her birthday she said I want you to make
Love to me me I’m a Varan and I want you to be my first I was shocked I wasn’t ready to move on and I told her so she did not take no for an answer and as has become the rule over the many years of our life together what Doris wants is
What she gets the day after she turned 18 was Saturday Doris volunteered at a women’s shelter run by the local now chapter early Saturday morning Doris went to help at the shelter I had no idea what she was doing there and the location of the shelter was Kept Secret she didn’t
Have a car so I had to pick her up from the Student Union on campus around 4:00 in the afternoon it was a short walk from the hostel where we stayed for a few more days the new fall semester was supposed to start in 10 days but we
Still had a few days left in our current dorm rooms Union is a large coffee shop cafeteria in the center of campus at 4:00 on a Saturday afternoon the place was not crowded but it was never empty when dorais showed up she was wearing jeans and a now t-shirt but she had an
Overnight bag with her obviously we were going to spend the night together but why carry a bag when we lived in the same building at least temporarily when Doris and I met at the union she gave me a deep passionate kiss she announced to the world or at least to the students on
Campus that we were going to have sex she was making a statement but what was this statement and why were we telling the world what we were doing doing we walked into my dorm room like the president consultant I didn’t have roommates it was just us I lit the
Candles and took out a bottle of good white star champagne she was nervous as hell and I was no better I’m not Don Juan I only had two girls and I never spent more than two nights with any of them Doris put a lot of pressure on me
We drank a little then I slowly undressed her I began to explore her body with my hands and then with my lips when she was ready I undressed her when I took off my shorts and threw them to her she giggled bottom line Doris was super good sex with her changed my life
She loved him and couldn’t get enough of him and she wasn’t afraid to show her enthusiasm with Doris I learned to relax and enjoy sex it was a completely new experience for me what I had before wasn’t even a pale imitation but bed with Doris wasn’t hard or intense Doris
Made sex fun sex was frequent but she made sure I always wanted it a serious part of the relationship between us was that we were together as a couple I should have taken note of this but now I was hopelessly in love with this young woman Doris knew this and soon used sex
With me to get what she wanted a guy she could wear like a new winter coat we went everywhere together and Doris left no one in any doubt that we were a couple I had never been part of a real couple before and found that I enjoyed
It I guess guess I was what they call a one woman’s man Doris decided it was time to share our relationship with her family which consisted of Margaret and Lawrence Boswell her parents her younger sister Maryanne and her younger brother Larry Jr it was a quite prosperous family
Larry Senior was a senior vice president at shont National Bank and Margaret taught at shont Community College they were an attractive and impressive family they treated me like royalty they were impressed by my status as a third-year law student moreover her mother Margaret was from shamon she went to high school with my
Mother at Sacred Heart Academy for Girls she became a teacher and my mother became a nurse Margaret Boswell was an extremely attractive woman she is taller than maoris and not so voluptuously built but she has a patrician Grace she had that stately beauty that ages well her husband was a tall silver-haired
Businessman who looked great in a suit but was showing slight signs of middle age he looked older than his 45 years unlike his wife who at 40 looked 35 the youngest daughter Maryanne was just beginning to round out at 16 but seemed to resemble her mother in height
And appearance little Larry was only 11 but he was tall and showed promise that in time he would have a strong physique he and I became great friends and now he is my best friend my folks fell in love with Doris long before we started dating
So she quickly became a deao member of my family even my little sister Paula was a supporter of Doris my brother was too young to have an opinion my family was not as wealthy as Doris’s family my father David SAR ran the family equipment rental business with my uncle
John my uncle is my older brother by 10 years and is a bit slow-witted under his strict leadership the business did well but it was my father’s outgoing nature and his ability to make friends and work with anyone including people he hated that truly built the business my mother
Needed to work because the business makes modest money and my uncle is very conservative about profets I am very close to my mother Agnes a tall pretty woman who at 41 was 8 years younger than my father she like me Towers over my father a mother’s most striking
Attribute is her blonde hair and these days it’s not just the hairdresser who helps she is a registered nurse who regularly worked night shifts when I was a child her work schedule was four shifts a week it wasn’t the same shifts every week they alternated that’s how it
Was while I was growing up but over the years she got her master’s degree in nursing and is now the head nurse at the hospital where she works she always needed to work and brought in as much or more income than my father my relationship with my father is more
Complex than with my mother my father was always trying to get me and my shy introverted personality to open up he is a friendly outgoing guy who seems to know everyone and believes in getting along with everyone dad believes in turning the other cheek and will never
Start a fight if it can be avoided most of the time he and I see things differently but he certainly approves of Doris very much this is the girl for you son she is smart and beautiful like her mother as a child my favorite thing to
Do was wait for my mother if she worked from 4:00 to midnight dad let me stay up on Fridays and Saturdays and then I babysat my brothers and sisters while he went to pick up Mom from work they brought home hamburgers and Shakes and I enjoyed them with my parents sometimes
My mother would come home very late alone and she would kiss me good night as I lay in bed before she went to to shower and get into her bed when she leaned towards me I caught the scent of her perfume Chanel Number Five which she
Put on when she got dressed sometimes I would wake up to the sound of the shower running followed by Whispers between my parents and my mother’s signature laugh followed by their bed starting to squeak it was a loving home even when business was slow money became scarce and mom
Took on more hours my mother and Doris’s mother were practically inseparable friends families were generally well mixed and looked forward to the joining of houses mom summed up the family’s feelings toward Doris this is a wonderful girl Davey don’t ruin it we are all looking forward to the wedding
Mom with all her love for me as her eldest child sometimes considered me to be forever 12 years old for my part I think I can be quite stubborn and immature at times when it came to Doris perhaps some of that came through I like
The whole story with the girl but it was on this level free and easy that I wanted to leave it Doris had other ideas about this she moved in with me in September I tried to finish my third and final year of law school without much
Trouble but she insisted that we move in together this strained our finances as I tried not to be too much of a burden to my parents Doris simply dropped a few hints to her mother who increased her allowance but this seemed to give reason to expect that our relationship would
Become serious by the beginning of May everything had gone beyond expectations and turned into what are you waiting for Doris made it clear that I had taken her virginity and that I was in her debt it’s strange because it was her idea to make such a demand but I could
Understand it from her point of view I had to graduate from law school I would be 25 single and the proud owner of a ticket to a professional career I was a very desirable catch for many single women living in the real world outside of the university on the on the other
Hand she was just finishing her sophomore year having accumulated enough credits to skip a semester but still had more than a year left before graduating moreover she was an English literature major and needed a master’s degree to teach in a high school from her point of
View I was leaving her behind with all that she had done for me this whole situation should have been a warning of sorts Doris looked at things from the perspective of what’s good for Doris is good for us the worst thing is that she was right no matter how selfish it may
Seem we had a good time together what she wanted was almost always better than my goals with her I was in some strange incomprehensible way complete as a person so if she wanted a ring on her finger before I went out into the wide world why did I hesitate I didn’t like
Doris so I said it I was sure that I loved her and I was comfortable in our relationship ship she brightened up my days and left me in a Perpetual vacillation between lust for her body and complete sexual satisfaction having Doris in my bed meant having no room for any other woman
I know that men will tell you that they can’t see a beautiful girl without wondering what she’s like in bed with Doris I couldn’t even fantasize about another woman my mind went from the sight of another woman to the image of Doris the sight of whom made me struggle
With an erection but to marry her and be bound by responsibility for another for the rest of your life I tried every excuse possible to leave Doris and avoid marriage my main excuse was that she was too young only 18 years old while I turned 25 in Ju it was an excellent
Reason although not entirely real but my mother like no one else rejected it Doris is very mature for her age while you are the complete OPP opposite besides I was a medical student and was only 17 when I married your father it’s not a matter of age but of maturity she
Has it and your hesitation after living together as virtual husband and wife shows that you still don’t have it mom wanted me to become a man but I hesitated and prophesied in retrospect I don’t know she’s 18 what will happen when she wakes up one day
And decides that she missed out on her youth by getting married too early I said it looks like what we’re talking about is that you missed it you will get a professional degree and ride off into the sunset leaving the poor girl behind my mother said seeing Right Through Me
In the End Doris had too much influence over me and too many allies for me to hold out so I swallowed my doubts and tied the knot a week after the bar exam there was no bachelor party although I heard there was a wild bachelorette party I didn’t have enough friends for
The party nor the time needed I studied 20 hours a day to pass the New York bar exam the toughest in the country only 41% of Harvard graduates passed the exam and with the exception of Brooklyn and Albany which are no more than three-year bar courses the average pass rate is
40% by the time I found out I had passed the exam Doris was 3 months pregnant theoretically the pregnancy was an accident but if you believe that then you are clearly not very smart Doris strengthened her position we knew they were twins 3 days before the exam
Results came out I sweat over these results by that time I already had a position as an attorney at the firm where I worked the summer Doris and I dated but it would only come to me if I passed the exam this meant a significant increase in salary but money was still
Tight I had to work 60 hours a week and bust my ass to make sure we had diapers when the kids came Doris never let our precarious financial situation or pregnancy affect her she took her final junior year exam just an hour before her water broke 5 hours later without a
Single groan she gave birth to two girls weighing 2.8 Kil each they were beautiful perfect and absolutely identical for me it was love at first sight 18 years later I still love those girls but not as much as before at first Doris and I had a hard time there was
Little money and we lived in a small apartment she never complained or made me feel guilty for not being able to provide for her better being a father was very difficult on the one hand it was scary but on the other your chest hurts from the love you feel I will
Never forget the joy of reading to the girls before bed make way for the ducklings The Cat in the Hat Charlotte’s Web then Little House in the Big Woods an of green Gable and finally the papers of Washington Irving and tales of the alhamra my two loves who seemed to Adore
Me and believed that I could do anything solve every problem fix every broken doll and make the sunshine on every rainy day it was a very hard life for me but it brought great rewards in the form of hugs and kisses not everything was so Rosy and Flowery there were dark days
Too Doris and I went through all the crisis together I fell apart when the kids got pneumonia and were hospitalized only Doris remained strong and told me that God would not take our girls from us David look at me they will feel better believe in this and that no
Matter what happens I will always love and support you in those early years Doris was the rock on which our marriage was built she was the pillar that supported me I couldn’t have done it without her she was eternally grateful to me and I wanted to provide for her
And our girls I needed to succeed for them more than for myself I am a rather lazy and unambitious person marriage to Doris her love and our children changed all that I was determined to achieve success for my family and to achieve this goal I made some compromises those
First years were difficult my work required constant effort but the reward was meager I had to compromise my principles and use my wits to rise above the pack of legal wolves that were all chasing the same prey at home Doris and little Patricia and Elizabeth Pat and Beth made every sacrifice
Worthwhile Doris finished school in the evenings leaving me at home to do office work and look after the children I couldn’t be happier she eventually got her doctorate when they started kindergarten Doris Boswell PhD began teaching at a community college but after 3 years became a full professor of
Shakespeare studies at the University her income was godsent but by then it was too late for me I had already become a partner through less than honorable means my income was as high as my morals were low I had a family to take care of
And I was a lawyer which meant I could rationalize the sale of my soul most Americans have an unwavering belief in the sanctity of private property they view home ownership as a goal and a right the idea that the government could come in and arbitrarily take away their home
Is Unthinkable and that’s where foreclosure comes into play when the government needs property for a public purpose such as building a highway bridge school or hospital it goes through a process commonly called confiscation it is simply the government taking property it needs for a public purpose and paying the owner the value
Of the property taken simply put in theory it is unfortunate but necessary we lawyers call this process eminent domain from the Latin Supreme lordship a fancy way of saying that the government has the right to take your land in theory they should pay you what it’s worth but if you’re stupid enough to
Trust the government to treat you fairly then you deserve to have it taken away this is where lawyers come to the rescue eminent domain is a complex system with a set of predefined steps a good experienced lawyer is able to play these steps in such a way as to get the
Maximum amount of money no one has ever regretted hiring a good lawyer to represent them in a foreclosure proceding the trouble is that most people do not get representation or get an inexperienced lawyer so the key to success as a foreclosure lawyer is to get your name
And your offer namely a lot more money in front of potential clients I owe my success to my lucky last name because when I was accepted in to law school Landon was right in front of Landrew for 3 years alphabetically I sat next to James Landrew a young Republican a
Member of the state Republican committee and after graduation a legal intern in the New York State Senate he eventually became a pargal and then Council for the legislative committee on corporations and associations this was a big breakthrough for me Jimmy and I were close so who would he come to if he was
In trouble if not friend eight was the same committee on corporations which is important because it considers all issues related to the emitter domain why might this be useful the answer is simple because no matter how the process of entering into an inheritance begins now it is an excellent way for the
Powerful to rob the weak The Taking of property for actual public use currently constitues only a small part of the taking of property by the state in most cases the state Acts on behalf of some private interest different terms are used but most often it is called some form of
Redevelopment don’t believe me then next time you’re in New York take a look at the New York Times headquarters it’s a beautiful Majestic skyscraper next to Time Square the land on which it stands was seized by international title some of the most valuable in the world in a
Bargain that is said to have saved the times nearly $80 million needless to say the newspaper did not point this out to its readers my job is to seek justice as best I can I will use all kinds of Tricks third party appraisers who will say whatever I ask and government
Appraisers who sometimes work for me I pay my appraisers well thereby ensuring that my clients receive extremely fair treatment the strategy is to get to the one who’s about to get ripped off before anyone else and that’s where my friend Jimmy comes in it started innocently
Enough with a vague warning to be on the lookout for a major property grab along the Hudson that was clearing the way for a luxury development but it soon turned into a cash for money game Jimmy has problems with horses as well as slot machines and Indian casinos he often
Needs money not gifts just loans that are never returned Partners in my firm were amazed at my ability to spot new potential business my Keen perception was well rewarded and for many years things remained that way nothing illegal just a little background knowledge and a little work on my part
To knock down doors on people who would be much better off if I were their lawyer it was actually a community service but once you step over the line it’s easy to jump over it I downloaded Doris’s phone my vicious program it was designed to create an audio file of
Every phone conversation my wife had and transfer it to my iPad she sent every text message she sent or received to my phone but it also gave me the opportunity to listen in on her conversations I could do this in real time or set the bug that was her phone
To record for up to 2 hours and send the same to my iPad in theory there was nothing Doris could say or hear that she couldn’t share with me the practice turned out to be somewhat different on the first day my wife spent almost 5 hours on the phone it would be
Overwhelming just to look through her phone conversations she spent 45 minutes with a friend doing nothing but talking about a dress she saw at the mall but didn’t buy for 3 weeks I worked my way through this nonsense and it seemed to me that I had become quite good at this
Matter I became convinced that I was suffering from paranoia I was ready to call it a day when the damn messages arrived I was in a meeting with a new client when my phone made a distinctive ringing sound indicating that I had a new message I I ignored it but after a
Few minutes there was another ringing and then a third I rarely send or receive messages and Doris was the same a matter of age I would say lyrics are not part of the DNA of my generation when I finished the conference with the client I checked my
Phone three new messages had been sent by spyware to Doris’s phone remember we have two days Mark I miss you so much when and where will you B Doris Cooper at 12:30 love you it took me a while to realize that Doris had a lunch date with
A man named Mark whom she missed and who said he loved her the restaurant was a simple Coopers a small very intimate place just north of the Ring Road and therefore quite off the road exactly the kind of place you’d choose for a private date it was already after 12 I had no
Way of getting there that quickly but I had an ace up my sleeve that I could overhear I bugged her phone used my iPad to listen in and casually got into the car at first I could only hear the noise of cars Doris was in her car as she
Arrived I heard the faint sounds of the restaurant and the greeting of the owner good afternoon can I help you said a pleasant female voice I’m meeting someone oh here he is then there was the sound of them hugging and then possibly kissing Doris sat and they exchanged
Exchanged greetings they talked a little about work apparently they worked together at University he sounded young strong and very confident he soon turned the conversation to her compliments poured in on her hair her dress and her overall stunning Beauty and youthfulness I listened to the seduction it would be
Interesting if it weren’t my wife when the food arrived the conversation turned to me how old and fat I was how gray and boring I was a cold fish who doesn’t deserve a beautiful energetic young woman and finally his needs how much he wants her and how happy they could be
But I can’t I’m married I intend to grow old with David please understand don’t you see that he is already old you’re still young live while you can if you can’t leave him then we’ll play it safe no I won’t lie I’ve never been with anyone other than my David I love my
Husband husband but I want you and need you to be complete I need David to see this there must be a way just give me time for everyone’s sake please I’ve been waiting for so long I know but I need time okay but please not for very
Long the topic returned to the mundane when I arrived at Cooper’s parking lot I took a spot far back in the parking lot out of sight of what I recognized as my wife’s car but with a view of the door at some point they returned to the
Conversation about how they needed to be together and that Doris would try to find a way that would not risk her marriage because in the end I still love Dave we’ve been together for so long it’s my responsibility to try to hold it all together that’s why I love you so
Much you have such deep feelings I just have to show you that pity is not love he said that bloated [ __ ] as they were leaving came into my field of vision Doris I noticed was Dressed to Kill and I would swear she didn’t leave the house dressed like that that morning
He was tall slender and athletic he had black skin not very dark more like dark coffee but black was he handsome I guess it was a matter of preference but he was young maybe no more than 30 when they parted they kissed he wrapped his arms around her and pressed himself against
Her until she finally pulled away I wasn’t as jealous as I might have imagined I wanted to kill him of course beat him half to death but for this I would need some means let’s say a baseball bat and a little surprise it’s not fair but then there’s nothing fair
About seducing someone else’s wife I was not deceived he just wanted to get into her pants nothing more all this love nonsense was just that he was a smooth manipulator he used her until he got tired of her and moved on somehow I suspected that this would not be a
Surprise to Doris she is a smart woman my wife was playing a dangerous game not with her lover but with me could she believe that I would tolerate this our marriage with Doris can be called typically American maybe 5% of American men are masters of their domains they
Rule over their houses the remaining 95% are forced to be content with what they have in my case I got a lot straightened out I’ve never won an argument with Doris even when I thought I had won the round and she looked remor remorseful and apologetic the reality was that in
The end she got her way she knew this from the beginning of course but I had to learn it in the bedroom like most men I got what my wife wanted to give me sex was on her terms these conditions were what one would expect from a good wife
And mother Doris loved sex but that didn’t stop her from setting limits over the years we did it the way Doris wanted which was the right way however this is an unfair point of view I never lacked sex I couldn’t say I wanted it and
Didn’t get it it was a bit of a relief when she started to slow down Doris knows how to perceive her desires as our needs she achieves her goal through repression she wears you down however she is a great wife and the best mother throughout our marriage she was either
Studying or working full-time but she cooked cleaned and kept house I participated but Doris was the Lioness she controlled everything and if she manipulated me it was only because in her opinion it was necessary I resented her minations only on those rare occasions when I noticed how much she
Enjoyed controlling me any honest and insightful married man will admit that his wife likes to manipulate him it must be an elemental part of being a woman but Mark was completely different I understood his appeal it was new different and forbidden he was irresistible to a woman like Doris to
Him she could play the role of the bad girl it gave me the freedom to move Beyond a life that had become predictable and less fulfilling he offered an alternative to an empty nest and an old tired husband the fact that he was black cannot be ignored novelty
Indifference enhanced sex it won’t last long but it wasn’t meant to be Mark was only the first man outside side of our marriage but not the last I became very depressed because I could clearly see that if Doris wanted to cuckold me then so be it there were few alternatives on
My side stay with Doris or leave her the last one was difficult we went through it all together I was and I hated to admit it very dependent on Doris after so many years of being together I couldn’t imagine life without her when I returned home that evening I tried my
Best to be if not cheerful at least neutral Doris knew my moods and saw through my feigned calm what happened Dave she asked nothing I’m probably tired from work I answered you’re working too much you should slow down and take better care of yourself maybe join the gym she said after that I
Looked at her closely and very critically you see I joined the gym last year I know I left long before she woke up every morning but how could she not notice the results I had lost 13 of the 18 lbs I had gained since we got married
And I had a lot of muscle because I worked out with a personal trainer 3 days a week her new boyfriend wasn’t because I was out of shape or boring it was all about her perception of me I have an old comfortable pair of slippers
The new sexy ones are what she wants to try on but mostly she will wear the old ones even though she no longer appreciates them I didn’t take her indecisiveness to heart because Doris needed to work on herself in the end she bought the dress she had been eyeing and
Talking about she was a woman who took a long time to make a decision she was still debating with herself whether she should try on her new man the next day another surprise awaited me the phone bug detected a conversation that I almost missed in fact I only listened because I was
Curious to see if my wife would even hint anything to her mother hi Mom I wanted to check with with you about Thanksgiving will you bring some bourbon baked sweet potatoes and broccoli salad of course dear but tell me how was lunch with Mark oh Mom he’s just great but he
Wants to go further and I can’t why not I have no idea why you didn’t correct your husband years ago now you’ve lost your Edge the children have grown up you can’t use them as leverage Mom I would never do that I may be a bad wife but I
Can’t be a bad mother nonsense you are a great wife did David ever complain I will answer that no you keep a perfect home cook great raise two wonderful young women and keep your man satisfied in the bedroom I won’t even mention the fact that you contribute more
Financially to the household than your husband yes but now I’m thinking about infidelity no that’s not true this is cheating only if the man does not give consent David needs to be made aware that women are physically different from men our libido increases with age but theirs
Decreases we need and crave Variety in the bedroom while they only want sex we can satisfy many men while our men are limited by their stamina the fact that you have another man will not affect Dave in any way he’s a great person and he can prove it by giving you some space
Make sure he knows that he will come first and will be treated very well I don’t know David is a little boy in some ways do you really think he will share and if he doesn’t share what will he do then I don’t want to risk losing him
Look your dad isn’t exactly a big thinker but I’ve been dating other men for almost three decades he didn’t leave me and he doesn’t complain it took him a while to adjust but once he did we were more than fine you should know this yes
But David is not dead I don’t see him accepting that I will have an addition IAL lover okay let me talk to Agnes after all she dealt with his father and she knows her son like no one else remember she forced him to marry you at the very beginning let’s see what she
Thinks my mother-in-law said and then with a few more incoherent words she ended the conversation that had unsettled me what did she mean by my mother and father I had a terrible feeling that I knew in fact I always suspected but I didn’t allow myself to believe it listening to Doris’s phone
Was a mistake the audition made me feel inadequate it was about finding out what people thought of you and it wasn’t much I spent the next few days waiting for developments to happen but there were none and then she got a call from my daughter Beth hey Mom Pat and I will be
Home late Tuesday night on vacation but we need to be back on Saturday we have hot dates with two guys from the football team for the Sunday after their game oh okay I’ll let let your dad know but I thought Pat was dating that guy Rick who swims well she’s dating but he
Has to make do with what she gives him Beth said giggling I think times have changed if guys are willing to let their girlfriends date others oh mom you are so ancient but tell me how things are going with Mark no way I’m married to
Your dad what should I do with Mark oh please Mom don’t be like yesterday dad is a fat old man he can’t expect you to turn down a little sex with a handsome guy like Mark because of some outdated tradition you have to go for it Dad will
Understand he loves you and he really has no choice who would want an old man like him Beth said in the background I heard Patty add right now then apparently Patty grabbed the phone Mom do you want us to talk to Dad we can explain this to him and remind him of
Everything you have done for him I know that he loves you and who could not love you and you are younger he cannot count on you to be a one-woman man it’s not fair to you I don’t know your father never contradicted me and God knows when
He was younger he had such an opportunity he may not see it our way men have egos and your father can be very sensitive but Mom we know Daddy loves you and I don’t see him denying you anything if you explain how much you want and need a relationship with Mark
Just make sure he understands that you will always put him first that’s what I told Rick and he doesn’t mind Pat said well girls your grandmother said that she would talk to Grandma Langdon I’m sure everything will work out between the two of them I just hope that your
Father can understand that Mark is not a danger to him and that what Mark and I have is only a shadow of what your dad and I have to say that I was shocked and hurt to hear my daughters talk about me does not convey the depth of the pain I
Felt perhaps I should have taken comfort in the fact that my wife and daughter still insisted that Doris still loved the fat old man but I didn’t I was shocked and several days passed before I was able to recover my senses enough to appreciate my situation I allowed myself
To imagine how I should look to others yes I played Sports and was in good physical shape but I did nothing about the gray in my hair or the unfashionable clothes I wore a lawyer is supposed to look conservative but I allowed myself to look ancient my first step was to go to
One of the new salons that had opened some of my gray hair was removed and my hair was styled they say it’s the men who don’t notice but Doris didn’t even comment my next step was to go to New York to buy clothes I almost completely changed my wardrobe and tried to show
Off my new slim body no I didn’t look 30 again but I didn’t look any older than my 45 years either neither Doris nor my daughters noticed when the girls came home for Thanksgiving I expected comments but I received the same regular kisses on the cheek that I realized I
Had been receiving for years my family took me for granted expecting me to just be there when needed and not interfere when not they had other concerns that were not related to me in truth I had few common interests with my wife or daughters We Were Strangers living in
The same house now I knew more about them than they could know about me I have always been closed and never open accordingly they had an erroneous opinion about me Thanksgiving is here and so are families the boswells and landons arrived the guests included various grandparents grandchildren siblings and their respective spouses
For a total of 21 people gathered around our properly set dinner table they came early to watch the parade from New York on TV and then the football game the women mostly gathered in the kitchen and the men in the living room I left a quick peek into the family room where my
Daughter-in-law Maryann and Larry junior’s wife Anne were looking after the small children along with my daughter Beth I went to the office and locked myself in there having inserted the headphones I made myself comfortable and began to listen to the conversation in the kitchen through my wife’s phone he
Went into the office and closed the door I recognized the voice of my daughter Patty okay now will someone tell me what’s wrong with my son I heard my mother’s voice what do you mean mom my wife answered well he has new clothes a new haircut and if I’m not mistaken a little
Less gray hair to tell you the truth I noticed something but I couldn’t figure out what it was Doris said if I’m not mistaken he’s also lost weight compared to last year said my sister Paula she her husband and daughter lived in California and had not seen me since
Last Christmas yes it could be said Mom I don’t know he had been very depressed the last two weeks and I thought he was having problems at work again Dora said you don’t think he knows about Mark is it true suggested my mother-in-law I cannot understand but from where and
There is nothing for him to know about I didn’t do anything with Mark said my loving wife perhaps he is having a midlife crisis he is at this age and the girls have left home perhaps it is so my mother said yes that explains the hair the weight loss
And the clothes mother Boswell suggested then we need to proceed carefully he needs to be gradually brought back to his senses if he is having a midlife crisis my mother said maybe I should put Mark aside for later Doris suggested nonsense Davey needs a good but gentle
Kick in the ass we must bring bring him out of this state and in the process force him to execute the program it won’t help if you’re depressed too my mom suggested so you think that Mom should tell him that she wants to take a lover right Grandma asked Patty well not
So directly dear I think we’d better ask the men to soften him up let him talk to Dad and Larry they can reassure him and share their experiences they are both happy and have adjusted well to the situation there’s no reason why your father can’t be the same but if he
Suddenly felt that he was getting old and life was passing him by then it was not time to immediately tell him that his wife had taken a young lover first you need to accustom him to this idea said his mother to be a cockled Patty giggled of course not your father is a
Proud man a good husband and father he must be led carefully and his needs carefully provided for I have never left my husband without help I have never had sex with another without caring about my husband he might have been on the sidelines but in my heart he was always in first
Place Dave senior knows he is the love of my life it’s up to us and I mean all of us to make my son feel loved Doris you’re first in line but we’ve got your back right mom asked with General agreement in this Spirit the women
Continued to dissect me and plan how I should be raised Ed how and when Larry and my dad had to introduce me to the facts of family life with a hot wife they didn’t use that term in their opinion they satisfied Doris’s Natural Instincts and legitimate needs this way
The marriage would be strong and both parties would be satisfied after all Doris married young and made many sacrifices now that there were no children she could relax while providing for her husband my mother was the main driving force and obviously had the most experience they talked about me as if I
Were a child who they were trying to force to behave well and correctly I listened until I couldn’t take it anymore and then I pulled myself together and left the house I walked until I decided it was time to go to the Thanksgiving holiday when I returned to
The house Doris was worried No One noticed me leaving and my return gave them pause late in the evening when we were alone in the house except the girls Doris asked what was bothering me I don’t know except that I feel like everything has to change and maybe I
Don’t want to go into the unknown baby know that no matter what I will always love you and that you have always been and will always be the most important person in the world to me she said cuddling up to me in bed I didn’t answer
And what could I say to that her words made me feel guilty she always made me feel guilty on the first Saturday in in December I found myself at Giant stadium with my father and father-in-law Larry bought tickets and very good seats my old man paid for the roundtrip limousine
And liquor for the trip Larry bought beer and snacks at the stadium both men were very well prepared after an awkward start where they tried to get to the topic of how great it was to be a cuck old they hid all of my mother’s main points the main arguments boiled down to
The fact that woman of a certain age needed a young lover and the opportunity to explore their sexuality if you love your wife you give her the opportunity to explore herself and benefit greatly from it I remained Silent not saying a word until that enviable extended Time
Warp that is the last two minutes of every professional football game I remember again how much I loved playing football in my youth and how and why I hate watching it of course I don’t know everything but I do know that if I ever catch Doris with another man it will be
The end of the marriage without any ifs and buts I said this so that these would be my last words on this topic my seniors spent the last two minutes of the game which lasted about 20 minutes unsuccessfully trying to talk me out of my position I simply repeated that any
Infidelity to Doris would result in me leaving who needs a [ __ ] for a wife because that’s the kind of woman she’ll be I said and both Elders called me immature and bigoted before heading to the men’s room they were gone for a long time and the stadium was mostly empty
Before they returned to me and we headed home in a silent limousine later in the evening I discovered that this was not just a line for the men’s room they called home both my mother and mother-in-law called Doris before we returned home to discuss the situation further steps needed to be
Taken less than a week later Larry and Dad dad dragged me back to a gentleman’s club where there were only naked dancers and bar Maids Larry and Dad alternated between offering me overpriced drinks and lap dances I limited myself to soft drinks and my lap was free of extraneous
Pleasures words of wisdom from my hedonistically inclined Elders were about the benefits of a mature and open marriage I can’t imagine myself trading my wife’s loyalty for a lap dance I said before leaving leing I caught a taxi and went about my business afterwards nothing was said about my abandonment of
These two old fools as we got closer to Christmas I heard the conversations became more intense Mark courted my wife and got me a date during the school holidays it was perfect for lovers they were free all day and I theoretically worked in fact if anyone had looked
Closely at me they would have suspected that something was wrong perhaps it’s time for confession you see see I’m what some people call Shady or quirky for many years I carefully crossed the line until succumbing to Temptation I left the line far behind it started with
Keyhole Lots which is an area that only has a small portion of the road it can be difficult to build on such a site because access to the main plot of land is limited we create this situation in this part of the country because of our archaic zoning laws rural land may be
Sold in 5 Parcels with no subdivision requirements many farmers are starting to sell off 5 acre plots along the roads to raise money when the main Farm is put up for sale only a small portion of the road May remain this way you get large areas with so-called Keyhole access just
Off the New York State throughway there were 10 Keyhole Lots all landscaped with mobile homes or manufactured homes with two bedrooms they were in the middle of nowhere they were 20 mil on poor County Roads from the throughway interchange it was highly undesirable and therefore inexpensive real estate a large National
Retailer came in and needed a warehouse with good access to the interstate system all they needed was 10 Keyhole lots and a new throughway entrance no problem and my buddy Jimmy was there with the information long before it leaked out when I was knocking on doors
To promote my services I saw this there was a small for sale sign hanging on a ramshackle fence post it turned out to be 250 odd Acres of poor quality pasture remains of an old dairy farm well outside the Redevelopment area but located on the old Ring Road this road
Will soon need to be replaced with a good State Road that will lead directly to the throughway this was land that was worth at best 1,500 an acre and would soon become 20 times that price you had to be a saint to stand and I was not a
Saint buying the land drained my 401k and any savings I had I was left without money my business became a money funnel for paying taxes and developing the land I invested it in a Wyoming Corporation styvesant Lati which a shady guy sold to me for $7,000 he created it 5 years ago for
People like me who needed to hide what they were doing Wyoming required non-disclosure of officers directors and shareholders there was nothing connecting me to Stu vasant all I had to do was explain to Doris that my business was struggling and I was barely contributing to household expenses I
Couldn’t tell her why my finances were in trouble so I lied I blamed the economy and tough competition any other wife would have been angry or at least let me know what a loser I was Doris kissed me and said we’ll be fine Davey as long as we’re all healthy and
Together what’s the difference Doris worked extracurriculars and cut everything except what the girl girls needed she did without everything I don’t think she bought herself a single new item of clothing in the year and a half that I struggled I promised that I would compensate her for everything when
The time comes but for some reason this never happen it 2 years after the purchase I sold the last acre the average price I received was 22,000 per acre after that I was already buying in front of the state a little further from where they were buying questions have
Arisen insiders accustomed to doing what I did were suspicious an investigation was required but the big shots didn’t want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs I was small and didn’t bother them I didn’t touch the money I told myself that this was for our old
Age mine and dores by then people will have forgotten everything and I will be able to come up with some plausible explanation for my family as to how my dirty money was honestly earned the last thing I wanted was for Doris and our families to find out what kind of person
I really was at all costs I had to protect my secret I never thought that I would be sharing dirty secrets with my family we spent Christmas Eve with relatives as has already become a custom but Christmas day was a big holiday in my family’s house we arrived early
Because Mom and Doris had agreed among themselves as usual Doris prepared a huge roast turkey with stuffing mom Boswell was making a signature roast of lamb and my mom was putting a ham in the oven it was about 1:00 in the afternoon when I lifted the stuffed turkey in a
Heavy iron frying pan out of the trunk of Doris’s new Mercedes the car which came with a large down payment was a birthday present from her parents David when you finish with the turkey I’d like to talk to you in the office my mother said it wasn’t a request but there was no
Hostility in her tone to say the least it sounded sympathetic the study was in a small room at the front of the house somewhat isolated when I entered my mother was sitting on a sofa or chair there were several other chairs in the room but she indicated that I should sit
Next to her I sat down next to her as she turned to me our knees almost touching she took both my hands in hers and I felt the cool comfort of those hands so familiar to me in my youth David what’s going on you don’t look
Like yourself if you have problems I and all the other members of this family are ready to help you she said this while leaning towards me looking me straight in the eyes expecting an answer perhaps a request for help or guidance a mother talks to her troubled son hoping to give
Him the Comfort he needs what could be wrong I have a loving and supportive family a faithful wife and two devoted daughters I let the words I used give emphasis my mother is not stupid she heard what was not said David an honest man supports his wife in what she needs
Part of being a good husband is making sacrifices just as your good wife has made so many sacrifices for you over the last 20 years my mother was a very smart woman she immediately realized that I was not such an ignorant fool as they took me for and came up with her own
Response it was a smart appeal to the kindness and fairness she instilled in me as a child the values we learn from our parents and cultivate through our personal behavior from her perspective I realized it was about a man’s commitment to his marriage and family it was a strange case when she completely
Misjudged her son and for this mistake I was entirely to blame I misled everyone for so long that they no longer knew me this was not the good reliable person they took me for I wore the costume of a hapless husband and father a man who could be taken advantage of because of
His own kind and loving nature her approach could never work on the person I am but she could not know that the sleeper has awakened in a new world where technology had revealed all the secrets and human corruption prevailed the fact is that I don’t think that
Having a [ __ ] as a wife is Honorable of course all things are for sale we sell ourselves for what we want and this is not always money in fact it is rarely money even when it changes hands however not all deals are dishonest some we conclude before God we make a promise
And ask for blessings true we do not always keep our word but we must make an effort otherwise the woman may end up kissing her son good night with lips still warm from her infidelity at the last phrase my mother jumped back as if I had slapped her in the face until this
Moment she was ready to continue the argument I saw emotions Play In Her Eyes surprise shame anger and finally pain David what did you say I said that your kisses when you returned home after adultery were an Abomination she released my hands and ran out of the
Room I didn’t need the phone to hear Doris’s words of Anguish as my mother ran out of the room mom what happened Doris cried she must have been waiting for my mother’s nod to Ambush me apparently this was a planned intervention perhaps everyone in the family was planning to hit me during the
Day when I left the room there was no one nearby my mother apparently ran into the kitchen taking with her another free family member I decided that a strategic retreat was in order for me and walked out the front door as quietly as I could I still had the keys to Doris’s Mercedes
So I drove to the state park to hendrik Hudson look out the lovers walk of my youth it took me until the end of my senior year to find a girl here and then I didn’t get past first base I was not and am not a Casanova but when I turned
25 and had just graduated from law school women began to look at me very differently unfortunately by then I was already hooked Doris had a hold of me and wouldn’t let go if you look at my situation these were two sides of the same coin when Doris wanted me I was
Expected to comply now that she was looking for someone else I was asked and expected to step back into line allowing her to have the freedom I had been denied strange but I could see the logic Doris sacrificed far more than I did for our marriage she made him work she
Raised the Next Generation and if I had left it to me we would probably never have had children bought a house planned for retirement or contributed anything at all now Doris wanted a little what she considered harmless fun a little of what she was missing she did not refuse
Me this opportunity she simply did not believe that I could take advantage of the offer you see I’m old and fat my mom’s good intentions today were to make me see my limitations but reassure me that they all still love me and will make this as easy as possible for me
They were kind as they thought but I behaved like an egoist in a way I knew all along that it would come to this I’m not blind or stupid but Mom and Doris are right in many ways I’m still a child unfortunately I didn’t stay as a child
I’m spoiled I saw the game being played and got down in the mud to play lying to myself that I was doing it for the sake of others or that it was necessary this is wrong I cheated because I wanted to win more for the sake of winning than
For the money losing to Doris would be a loss and I’ve been losing to Doris for 20 years when I parked in the parking lot I took out my iPad and opened the Spy wear he’s nowhere in the house and Mommy’s car is gone I heard my daughter
Beth say if I’m lucky he won’t come back I heard an my brother-in-law Larry’s wife comment I always knew Anne didn’t like me but now she had a reason Anne is a real hottie she wasn’t what you’d call a beauty but she exuded sexiness and had
What was called a bedroom voice and the flirtatious mannerisms that went with it I understood why Larry Junior who is not the sharpest tool in the shed married her but it was a stupid move this woman was essentially broadcasting her infidelities Larry ignores his wife’s not so subtle gossip and rather egregious Behavior
My brother-in-law worked as a vice president at his family’s Bank it was obvious nepotism but quite acceptable in that industry his fat salary and social position ensured that no matter how hard Anne played she always returned home for a comfortable lifestyle Anne and Larry had a 5-year-old son who had the same
Blonde hair and blue eyes as his supposed father as a couple they always seemed to get along now as I listened my mother hatched a plan my son is more than stubborn he practically called me a traitor to my face my mother told her listeners I don’t believe it said my
Mother-in-law Dave is too good a person for that it’s hard for me to believe this but I heard what I heard he seems to somehow know everything the old people must have been careless in their words and he took everything out of context explained dear old mother what
Should we do I don’t want to lose my husband said Doris we have to be smarter if he doesn’t want to go voluntarily we have to use some trick my mother said I don’t know we shouldn’t underestimate my brother he was always cunning not the smartest but the most cunning remember
What he did to Uncle Jack during the poker game he can be very cunning I heard my sister say she was referring to the time when as a teenager I discovered that my uncle cheated quite often at our bi-weekly poker games everyone knew about it but did nothing because we were
Playing for pennies still I didn’t feel good about being tricked so I figured out how he stacked the deck when he shuffled and cheated him back for several weeks he lost constantly but could not expose me without exposing himself the games ended abruptly and my uncle stopped talking to me my sister
Remembered this because she asked me what Uncle J’s problem was and I laughed when I told her yes but he has a weakness that we can exploit my mother said she then laid out her scheme the weakness she was talking about was my inability to tolerate alcohol
I don’t drink but I’m a happy drunk until I fall asleep give me enough alcohol and I’ll pass out mom’s plan was simple get me drunk at a family party on New Year’s Eve while they are refilling my drinks an will be approaching me when I’m happy with my drink she’ll start
Making explicit suggestions that I’ll definitely remember when I’m sober when I was so drunk that I didn’t understand what was happening and therefore didn’t remember they would take me upstairs to the bedroom and undress me they took several naked photos of Anna and me and
In the morning I would wake up and find myself in someone else’s bed and an angry wife standing in front of me when I am presented with evidence of my infidelity I will hardly be able to object to my wife’s proposal to open our marriage to others of course opening our
Marriage would mean that Doris would have the right to play while I stayed at home the stumbling block was was Anne’s reluctance to have sex with what she called the fat old man the general consensus was that I had no sex appeal Anne was the best choice since Larry was
A good friend of mine the guilt Factor would have been magnified and in the end she didn’t have to do anything other than get some photos to help with the scheme so they chose my brother Samuel’s wife Elaine she was a timid little thing who was afraid of her Shadow she was
Brought into the plan because of her desire to fit in she was also the perfect witness being the newest member of the family married to my brother for only 2 years and currently pregnant from the front seat of my wife’s expensive car I looked out over the Northern Catskills where Washington Irving staged
Rip Van Winkle it’s a strange sight in the winter fog breaking through the dark mountains to the east the Hudson river shines silver it’s a good place for an Irving folk tale but not a place to listen to your marriage die but then Doris spoke we have to give Dave another
Chance more time she said what about Mark will he wait ask at her mother Mark is very worried we’re both off work this week and it’s the perfect time to as he puts it rent a room however I need my David he is my first and true love I’m
Going to talk to him he has never denied me anything and I can’t imagine him completely denying me this he and I must come to an understanding she said listen my plan will work he is harsh but your husband deserves it with his attitude I suggest you talk a little more but be
Careful not to keep your lover waiting because of my stupid son my mother said I’ll give Dave one more try to get him to step forward Doris said ending the conversation I had no choice but to go back and sit at Christmas dinner with my family I received a very very cool
Reception from everyone except an who had apparently resigned herself to flirting with the fat old man Doris grabbed me and pulled me out the door to her Mercedes what about Christmas dinner I asked we won’t go back there we need to talk she said is there anything to
Talk about I asked yes but not in the car she smiled slightly she went to the Hilton she called ahead and made a reservation and when we got there a bottle of white star champagne was waiting for us you remembered I said how could I forget
It was after all my first time this is the last time no if it can be avoided please Dave talk to me what is there to talk about about this she said moving closer to me throwing her arms around my neck and pulling me into a lingering
Kiss from there it was a short step to a huge king-size bed when she finally let me go she wanted to talk what’s wrong love she asked what could be wrong oh please stop it’s not us I love you and always will I want to be with you always
Until death do us part as we promised by abandoning everyone else you know that I can never love another use yes love no she said is there a difference I asked certainly I’m trying to convince you that we will remain together forever and Inseparable she said you can keep a bird
In a cage but don’t leave the door open what does it mean I offer each of us freedom because we love each other this is what binds us I will not fly away she said please don’t you believe me I believe but you are mistaken no believe
Me I can only love you she said I didn’t have an answer she missed the point by failing to understand the other side please don’t let male pride hurt us we are only talking about bodily function it doesn’t mean anything Doris please believe me this is an argument you
Cannot afford to win be happy with what you have and I will stick to my opinion just don’t open the door don’t be stubborn you know that I will always take care of you just like before you need me don’t be stupid she said I hugged her realizing that we might not
Have a future she couldn’t understand that we were basically all lying yes the lie was an oversight on my part an inability or failure to tell the unpalatable truth I spent 19 plus years avoiding the central issue in our marriage until Doris believed the original lie she told herself and which
I never challenged oh I love you everything will be fine trust me she said not realizing that the problem was not her no believe me I will never accept what you offer I kept my end of the deal I said said and ended the call on wedness day of the following
Week Mark invited my wife over for dinner I listened long enough to be convinced that they had done the deed to end my marriage apparently by some mudel agreement the loving couple did not mention the cook old husband it was as if I didn’t exist Friday was New Year’s
Eve I started drinking at my favorite place Irish fog this is a restaurant bar I invited all my old friends over for drinks but none of my family I myself stayed strictly with non-alcoholic drinks I arrived at Larry JR’s house only at 8:00 p.m. and then by taxi my
Old Honda had been parked earlier that day some distance from Larry’s house and hopefully went unnoticed when I arrived I smelled like the bar I’d been in for most of that day and I was acting a little worse than usual soon they brought me a very strong drink they
Started out slow but quickly increased their alcohol levels I had a hell of a time getting rid of them but luckily Anne and Larry believe in house plants they and a few trips to the bathroom allowed me to stay sober while I acted like a drunk Anne asked me to dance and
Without waiting for an answer she lifted me to my feet and began to rub herself against me I let her do whatever she wanted and after a while I responded as drunk as I could apparently this happened about half an hour after the ball dropped in Time Square by which
Time I was already pretending to be completely in toxicated this must have been convincing because Anne and Elaine took my hands and began helping me up the stairs having reached the bedroom which I took to be a guest room they threw me on the bed take off his clothes
While I undress and then you can take photos Anna said to Elaine I let Elaine begin and she rather hesitantly undid the buttons on my shirt and took it off you know heun not very fat in fact heun’s quite athletic Elaine said it doesn’t matter just take his pants
Off Anne said as she carefully lowered her dress onto the chair and let her hair down standing in her sexy silk lingerie while Elaine was trying to unbuckle my belt I spoke I don’t think I want you to do that unless Anne is going to have sex
With this old not very fat man I said Elaine jumped back a look of surprise on her face damn damn damn and and squealed my sister warned you but who listens in this family I said now you two go downstairs and send here the traitor who
Calls herself my wife now I said with these words they ran out of the room an stopping only to grab her dress it seemed like a long time past while I sat and listened to the commotion below there were a few raised voices but I didn’t even try to Eaves drop the
Eavesdropping part of this little drama was was over eventually Doris appeared at the bedroom door you wanted to see me she asked yes come in and sit down I said in as soft and friendly a voice as possible under the circumstances Doris sat up and the tears
Began to flow the flow of water ended when her nose began to run she felt so sorry that she had made a terrible mistake by listening to others what do you regret Doris about wanting another man or about being in his bed last Wednesday in his apartment she screamed
And for the first time I saw fear no it’s probably just that my mother’s scheme didn’t work and now you’re caught please David I love you it doesn’t mean anything you have to believe it I know you love me and will forgive me she said perhaps she was a little deceived by how
Calm I was no Doris I don’t oh please David forgive me and let us forget about this oh I forgive you Doris there’s really nothing to forgive except a little deception the problem is the rest you see I don’t love you I never have and I probably never will that’s not
What you mean David it’s your anger talking I couldn’t help but laugh do I seem angry let me assure you that this is not the case I have spent the last 19 plus years in this marriage it wasn’t all that bad it was a gilded cage of
Sorts but now the door is open and I walk through it with gratitude to you for finally setting me free David please PE that’s not what you meant I will not let you divorce me over such a small thing after so many years of love and
Devotion that I have given you do what you want I’m leaving I succeeded you kept me on a leash because of guilt and now I don’t have it you wanted an open marriage and I am giving you the most open marriage possible namely marriage without the burden of a husband with
These words I stood up and began to leave what will you tell our daughters she asked starting to get angry farewell is all I will say to these traitors I would like to believe that they are not mine but considering what they are and what my mother is like I have no doubt
So goodbye is all I have for them and nothing more then I stopped and thought that this was not true my girls are the little ones that I will always have they are locked in my heart they never grew there they’re still wondering if the ducklings will cross the road I said
