I was shocked when my unfaithful wife brought her lover into our home and said, 'Meet him, this is..

[Music] Dave Brown was sitting in his living room chair opposite his chair was an empty couch between his chair and the couch stood a coffee table with three champagne glasses one full two empty next to the table was a bottle of champagne in an ice bucket anyone watching him relax at 7:02 p.m. might have been a little concerned when he clearly said yes I hear her car in the driveway but there were no observers Dave was alone in the room he continued to sit relaxed when the front door opened he couldn't be seen from where

he was sitting but he immediately heard his wife's voice where are you Dave in the living room Deb Dave quickly stood up when his wife entered the archway she was holding the hand of a man about 5 years younger than her 49 years he was slim of medium height dressed in a business suit in her other hand she held an order and j4 envelope um Dave this is Michael Michael this is my husband Dave noting that she was averting her eyes and seemed nervous Dave took three steps forward and warmly shook The Uninvited guest's hand

I'm very pleased to meet you Michael do you mind if I call you Mike not at all sir may I offer you a glass of champagne please take a seat Dave watched as two very embarrassed people sat on the couch and took the offered glasses after he filled them cheers now could you tell this simple Soul what's going on Deborah and Mike exchanged looks Mike subtly nodded and squeezed her hand um Dave it's not very pleasant to talk about this so I'll just say it directly Michael and I have fallen in love I would like

a divorce so we can get married she paused expecting her husband's anger she lifted her gaze from the floor to see Dave's expression it was going to be awful she just knew it she did not expect his face to remain neutral un consciously she moved a bit closer to Michael all right Deb are these the divorce papers Deb looked up in astonishment again she had rehearsed this scene in her head many times but never not even in her Wildest Dreams had it gone like this she looked at Michael and tried to convey with her eyes

I don't know what to say he took the envelope from Deb and placed it on the table yes Dave that's correct I think you'll find them very reasonable Deb is not asking for anything from you accept her car included in the packet is her statement renouncing this house your car all your joint assets and your pension fund everything is signed and notorized on our side I must warn you that I am a lawyer so everything is in order but don't hesitate to hire your own representative to reassure yourself well I must say you both are

very generous Deb looked very anxious as if waiting for the other shoe to drop it was Mike's idea Dave he actually insisted he said it's bad enough that he's stealing a wife without taking your hard-earned assets this was by no means my motivation but Mike is quite wealthy even without your money we will have more than we ever had together H maybe things would have been different if you had found a job after the kids grew up and helped with the finances Deb Deb looked down again so Mike is your wife about to give a

similar speech or has she already received one number my wife died 8 years ago I'm a widower I'm sorry to hear that truly thank you Dave the year or so after was incredibly painful but as they say time heals all wounds listen I'm really sorry about this but I met Deb and she was like the missing half of my soul I never thought I'd feel whole again I wanted to tell you that I've been in love with your wife for several months that's fine Mike I never hold grudges please marry her with my blessing Mike

and Deb exchanged stunned looks Deb because everything was not at all as she Ed then she felt a huge relief months ago she had convinced Michael that her marriage with Dave was falling apart that they had tried to save it but the chances were slim she knew that Dave's reaction was a weak spot in her plan which might make Mike realize that things weren't quite right that's why she begged Mike to do this without a face tof face meeting Mike insisted that real men solve problems face to face he did not yield to her please

Mike was stunned because even after de de told him that her marriage was on its last legs he expected a more Angry response from Deb's descriptions he had a mental image of Dave from what she had said he was a big and educated man accustomed to solving problems with his fists Mike had hesitated over the idea of bringing a bodyguard tonight but ultimately dismissed the thought deep down he thought that if the aggrieved husband hit him a bit it might ease his own conscience his own sense of decency weighed on him so Deb I suppose

you met Mike at one of your girlfriend's parties Deb nodded toward the coffee table one of the girls nights out which you assured me were completely harmless and not a threat to our marriage when I asked this time Deb nodded to the floor I guess that's a lesson for you Mikey boy Mike looked at Deb her gaze shifted to a spot on the floor a little further away from Mike so what happens now with people come on Deb you must have a plan you're giving me the house so I assume you were planning to pack

your things and move in with him I won't stand in your way I was going to do that tomorrow while you were at work by tomorrow the locks will be change I'm sure your friend the lawyer would agree it's a wise move on my part it's easier if you do it now right Deb and Mike stood up to go upstairs how about a talk Mike Deb can start packing come on Mike let's chat I think you owe me at least that Deb was torn between wanting to avoid this truly awkward situation and and the need

to witness everything that was said eventually Mike made the decision for her by sitting back down go ahead Deb I promise not to harm him I just want to talk until we're divorced I feel responsible for your safety I just want to make sure he takes your interests to Heart besides you made the decision to leave me I see no point in trying to dissuade you from it our marriage clearly is dead both men watched as she went up the stairs and disappeared I must say you're being very reasonable Dave it's all right Mike between

us I haven't felt Deb's love for about a year now I guess that's when you two met it will indeed be a relief I have no desire to Doom us both to a Loveless marriage that's very kind of you Dave always a pleasure Mike now as a lawyer you know that whenever you sell a car or a house you are legally obliged to disclose any known faults to the new owners Mike laughed well slavery is dead and and I don't think Deb would appreciate being considered property that needs a transfer of ownership but I understand

what you mean Dave Dave also smiled he rightly guessed that Mike was a smart and decent man all right now please believe that what I'm about to say is not dictated by any ill will I just want to point out some of Deb's shortcomings that may not be apparent after a year of acquaintance besides her future happiness is important to me after all I've loved her for 27 years I would also like to share everything I tried to do to make her happy but obviously failed this way you'll know not to waste your time on

the same things Mike nodded he knew that what was about to be shared might not be completely altruistic in intent but he felt obligated to listen to this innocent man right I assumed Deb went back to the pills Mike nodded again feeling a bit uneasy it was tantamount to admitting that he was sleeping with this man's wife yes she's on pills I had no idea she had ever stopped she was on pills when we met but about 6 to 12 months after we got married she quit them she said they suppressed her sexual appetite since

then it's been condoms for me can't stand those damn things they take all the spontaneity away and I don't know about you but I try my best to do without them yes I know what you mean Dave later when we decided to stop at two children she started using condoms as an excuse not to make love as often I begged her to go back on the p but she refused saying she didn't want to swallow artificial chemicals every day since then our love making decreased from several times a week to a few times a month

and then to zero yes about a year ago Mike did not respond he knew that Deb was very careful about what she ate and chose chemical free options wherever possible sex with her was still exciting and happened at least three times a week even with restrictions on their meetings I know it's very ungentlemanly Mike but does she swallow your well you know Mike found this question very awkward people of his class did not talk about such things he involuntarily looked away I understand yes I remember what she was like when Deb and I were dating

and now please remember I'm saying all this without any malice if I were selling a car that I knew would throw a wheel 6 months after I got rid of it I would warn you about that too Deb hasn't swallowed for me since we got married actually I think I think it's been about 18 months since we last had oral sex and soon after that doggy style stopped too we completely stopped having sex until recently I just got tired of being knocked back and I stopped asking maybe you'd like to note in your diary to

watch for any sudden drops every month or so Dave paused to let Mike add anything but he did not take the opportunity and here's another thing I noticed only a couple of years after our wedding one day I looked around and suddenly realized that almost everything I own before Deb had disappeared the bed clothes couch and photos of old girlfriends though to be honest I found them in the attic I don't know if all women do this or if it's just Deb but she seemed to want to clear the nest of any previous female influence

again Dave paused and again Mike remained silent he thought about his new bed and sheets then he recalled his conversation with Deb a week ago about the portrait of his first wife the woman he had dearly loved and until circumstances erased her from his life I hope you're better at detecting her lies than I was Mike just 3 weeks ago I asked her if she still loved me and if things were okay between us she looked me right in the eyes and said yes she did what she always do looked into my eyes until I

broke eye contact I can't believe it only took 3 weeks for her to fall out of love so profoundly Mike was slightly staggered by the unexpectedness of this conversation and all the information Dave was trying to imp heart something in those last two sentences alarmed him but he didn't have time to pinpoint the source so he focused on the only aspect he could grasp don't worry Dave I'm a lawyer I've spent 20 years learning to recognize Liars they always give themselves away good again just a few tips to take or leave watch if she takes

off her rings when she goes to visit her sister you might want to check her lingerie drawer I advise you not to blindly trust her as I did I thought she was utterly incapable of Deceit but clearly I'm an idiot what else can I say oh yes if she follows her usual pattern she'll probably stop going to the gym in about 6 to 12 months and gain some weight at this point Dave stood up took a photo album off the shelf and started flipping through the pages here are a couple of photos from 2 years

ago when she started going to bachelorette parties as you can see her face and butt were plump but after two children who would be surprised Mike turned a few pages and saw a plumber version of his fiance with much less makeup than he had ever seen he was slightly stunned by the difference a little makeup could make he continued flipping through the pages as this Deb's mother I see a strong resemblance yes that's right just a moment as you can see she was a beautiful woman this is her around 50 she was a very striking

woman Dave picked up another album and opened it to a page he waited for Mike to stay the obvious good Lord how old is she here about 55 she was one of those women who once they hit menopause around 52 or 53 quickly lost their looks however she accepted it very gracefully simply saying that she thanked God for the beauty she had been blessed with for so long Dave watched as Mike alternately examined the two photos now I promise to tell you about all my mistakes that made her unable to love me I suggest trying

a different approach mine was clear unsuccessful Dave paused to pour some champagne about 25 years ago she wanted a wedding I tried to object saying it was better to invest the money in a house but she said that if I truly believed we would be together forever I wouldn't skimp on a day that was so important to her if you want I can find a copy of our wedding vows for you from memory we stuck to the traditional to love honor and obey and forsaking all others if you try something different maybe you'll Faire better

than I did did it might not matter much to you but don't work your fingers to the Bone and do a bunch of overtime to give her the flash house she's always dreamed of it clearly didn't keep her legs together in fact we probably here because I refused to pay for the facelift she wanted preferring to invest the money in her retirement she can be quite insistent when her heart is set on something you've probably noticed Mike nodded wondering if this characteristic of Deb was really as admirable as he had thought until now so Oh

I thought I was being smart by inviting her to a monthly date to discuss everything about me or our relationship that starts to irritate or cause the slightest indignation our last date was less than a month ago and she said nothing a man of your caliber I'm sure can come up with something better at that moment Mike noticed a spark in Dave's eyes and suddenly realized what he was implying nevertheless he made several good points the idea that Deb was completely free from deceit strongly contradicted some of his own thoughts recently he was so stunned

by Dave's apparent Amusement about the whole scenario that he again ignored the internal alarm signal Dave continued speaking despite the fact that they both clearly knew Deb had stopped descending the stairs being within earshot watch for lists of things she plans to remove from the house it's a good hint that she already despises the marriage and is looking for a replacement it won't significantly change what happens but it will allow you to prepare for the endgame she has planned and prompt you to start digging for other evidence Mike blinked and looked around for the first

time he noticed the three champagne glasses in the ice bucket clear evidence that all three present knew about today's meeting in advance when there were supposed to be only two his usually very observant nature had missed the clues Dave watched Mike's eyes roam yes I knew this would be today Deb called me twice today to make sure I'd be home by 7 Mike shifted his gaze from Dave and looked where Deb was halfway down the stairs Deb resumed her descent clearly pretending she hadn't heard the last few minutes of conversation Dave do you want to

talk about which of the family photos I can take now or some other time Dave ignored her and leaned towards the couch across never taking his eyes off his rival the last thing I did wrong was forgive Deb when I first caught her cheating on our marriage what asked Mike no slipped from Deb's lips as she retreated into the kitchen yes it was right after the birth of our second child I forgave her because she and our counselor convinced me that it was a one-time mistake caused by postpartum depression I often wondered if I was

too soft on her maybe a firmer Approach at the time could have prevented a recurrence i Justified my actions by thinking I was acting in the best interest of the children they grew up to be good people so I hope I did right by them for her sake I hope you will be generous enough to forgive her when your time comes I I don't know what to say Dave you don't need to say anything Mike just answer me look into your heart and ask yourself if you would have forgiven your late wife if you had

caught her having sex with someone else in your own bed for the first time Mike lost his composure he leaned forward from the corner of his eye Dave noticed some movement and saw a pale-faced Deborah standing in the kitchen doorway my wife would never have shown me such disrespect we loved each other too wait a minute you said the first time Deb cheated on me were there other times no just twice then and now Deb burst out of the kitchen no she cried desperately I'm finished packing Mike if you take my suitcases we can get

out of here right now calm down Deborah the last was said in a quiet but firm voice surprisingly The Voice belonged to Mike Deb stopped in her tracks Mike turned back to Dave Deborah assured me that she was not Unfaithful because you had an open marriage Dave did she look you in the eyes when she told you that Mike Mike looked at Dave then at a shrunken Deb and back at Dave again Dave saw a sudden realization in Mike's eyes that he was not as good at recognizing Liars as he thought what did she tell

you about the state of our marriage Mike she said it had been shaky for several years Dave that you had been seeing a therapist for some time but neither of you had any hope Dave did not respond he just looked at Mike as he continued speaking to fill the silence now I think this doesn't quite match up with what you said about still going on dates and asking if she loved you Dave continued to look Mike in the eyes he chose exactly the moment when Mike realized that he had been played for a complete fool

an expression easily interpreted as self-disgust flashed across the face of the little man Mike turned to a frozen Deborah you damn scoundrel you've turned me into the person I despise the most a man who sleeps with other men's wives without their husband's knowledge upon hearing this statement Deb felt to knees Mike suddenly lost his ability to speak and became interested in the same spot of the carpet that had once so Charmed Deb finally he composed himself and looked back at Dave please Dave you have to believe me I had no idea don't worry Mike I

told you she's a good liar Lord I wish she had told me we had an open marriage then I might have slept around last year the deliberate use of humor in a very tense situation seemed to work Mike relaxed slightly but remained silent does this mean the engagement is off uh yes definitely in that case I want to introduce you to a couple of people John Alice at that moment the basement door opened hearing the noise Mike turned and saw a young man and woman approaching Mike I want to introduce you to my son John

and my daughter Alice they were listening to our conversation through a microphone JN graduated from law school 2 years ago and Alice earned her doctoral degree This Year John and Alice shook hands with a bewildered mic then Jon picked up an envelope from the table and began to dispassionately examine its contents Dave turned to his daughter do you believe me now Alice yes Dad there's no doubt she's a cold cunning schemer All Eyes turned at the sound of a groan Deb was still on her knees but now her head was resting on the floor sensing

the silence she lifted her head and met four accusing stairs she spr rang up and ran out the front door no one made the slightest attempt to stop her or follow her John calmly finished reviewing the contents of the envelope looks like everything's in order Dad good thanks now who wants a beer this fizzy stuff is fine but I need a beer to get rid of the taste in my mouth uh I think it's time for me to go stay here little Mikey we still need to sort something out like what well I might forgive

you for sleeping with that dumb trash because she said she was an open marriage and all that but I need to decide whether to rip your head off and spit down your neck for trying to steal her Mike looked at the other man noting that he was a head taller and much larger then he looked into his eyes and saw the now familiar gleam Dave decided to calm down a bit John does the same work as you Mike by this time Mike was no longer surprised that Dave knew so much about him how's your current

job John the hours suck and the pay is peanuts do you want to come and work with me hell yes Dave smiled then there's the question of supporting my ex-wife until she finds a job she no longer has a home or money with a growing sense of relief Mike entered into the new topic I'm very sorry Dave as soon as she lied to me she broke the implied contract we had in the event of a breach of contract ownership reverts to the previous owner yes but morally don't talk to me about morals I'm a lawyer

John do you have a dictionary I have a vague idea of what that actually means everyone laughed no seriously Mike I think you should look after her until she gets back on her feet if you play your cards right you could pretend you're thinking about keeping her around and liven up your spirits in bed for a while uh no I can't do that but I will make sure she's okay not for her but for you I admire Mastery wherever I see it and tonight I was completely outclassed wasn't I have you ever thought of about

a career in law Dave the way you unbalanced me turning negatives into positives and giving me no time to think was worthy of the best prosecutor I've ever seen Dave smiled modestly but said nothing he loved his job and the people he worked with so four beers for the first time during the evening Dave looked away until he was sure that the tears accumulating at the corners of his eyes had disappeared he would not look him in the eyes Again by this time Deborah Brown was already 700 met away walking quickly and accelerating as if

her heels were on fire story two Lisa whom I have been married to for many many years works as an office manager at a software company from 9: to 6 every day since my work schedule is quite flexible we gradually switch to having sex in the mornings three or four times a week I caress her slender body and she caresses me we didn't experiment much in bed but I was quite satisfied with that however I noticed that over the last year Lisa has become more passionate in the bedroom she has also become more aggressive about

the little things at home maybe it's because of her promotion at work there were quite a few signals indicating a possible Affair so I hired a private detective it only took him a week to get concrete results just like that usually we talk on the phone every day around 10: in the morning today was no different at least in terms of the timing of our usual call she picked up the phone before it could go to voicemail hey handsome how's your day going I suppose it's going quite well how about yours not bad don't forget

that our Jessica has a soccer match today I've noted it in my calendar I was thinking you know we've never talked about what kind of funeral each of us wants there was a brief pause probably Lisa just didn't expect such a topic in our usual domestic conversation Tim are you hiding something from me did the doctor tell you some bad news no no sorry I'm completely fine but it occurred to me that I don't know whether you would prefer to be cremated or buried if you choose cremation what should I do with the ashes if

you want to be buried where you probably don't know these answers about me either right Tim you've chosen a terrible topic do we really have to talk about this now when is a better time you know I will probably outlive you so there's no point in discussing what to do with my carcass let's focus on you we are the same age Tim women live longer why do you think you will outlive me well your grandparents are dead but mine are still alive besides you know why most husbands die before their wives don't you no I

don't know why because they want to oh things are that bad for you poor thing so meet me halfway cremation or burial fine if you insist a burial all right where I don't even know somewhere near our home we've lived here almost 20 years that makes sense a symbol marker or a larger headstone a headstone let everyone say here lies is better half hey here's another thing you know your CEO Bob I hear his wife Sandy has terminal cancer how old do you think they are they must be over 60 where did you hear about

her illness from Sandy herself did you know she's a passionate gun enthusiast oh you should see her collection of pistols she showed me one that barely fit in her purse she claims it can make a hole in a door the size of a tennis ball she says locks just fall apart think about it if it can do that to a door what can it do to a person when did you see her Lisa now asked sounding worried this morning just before I called you I had something to share with her she asked if I could

keep you at home what your words make no sense why keep me indeed when I showed Sandy the private detective's report about your affair with Bob she decided that her husband had betrayed her yes and you betrayed her too since she only has a few months to live she thought she wouldn't make it to court anyway she was heading to your office and wanted me to keep you at home if possible while she took care of her Bob oh my God Tim how could you I'll answer that question after you answer mine why but never

mind it doesn't matter anymore you better find some shelter please Tim make her stop forgive me Sandy stop stop do you think she heard me Lisa tried to say something through tears but I wasn't listening anymore just like that Lisa I'm going to hang up since the sound of gunfire might disturb me I think I'll enjoy cremating you and throwing your ashes in a portable toilet oh god of course some things in life don't turn out the way you might wish and Tomorrow Never Comes thank you for being with us and listening until the end
