Real Stories - November/December 2006

Screen 18 of 23

That gave me hope but I figured it would never happen. Then she met Lydia. They both were around forty years old (I am five years older than my wife) and Lydia and my wife became close friends. They had a lot in common and as Forrest Gump would say, “They were like Peas and Carrots.” They were always together.

My wife had very few female friends prior to meeting Lydia but I never dreamt in a million years that she was having a sexual relationship with her. It all came out when one day my wife and I were taking a day trip together and we were having a great time and she all of a sudden began to cry. When I asked her what was wrong, she told me that she was having an affair with Lydia and that she loved her. At first I was hurt because those words “I love her” cut me like a knife. But when I asked her if she still loved me, she told me “Yes, I still love you very much”. That made me feel much better.

Lydia is an attractive woman so stupid me, once I heard that my wife still loved me, my mind went to Lydia having sex with my wife. Therefore I told my wife not to be upset that I was man enough to handle her relationship with Lydia. This lifted a big weight from off my wife’s shoulders as she no longer felt guilty. I also mentioned to her that perhaps, just perhaps, they could allow me to watch them one time. My wife just looked at me and smiled. She said she would mention it to Lydia.
