I became suspicious of my wife cheating when I found a used condom in our house... I installed

[Music] bending forward I prayed that it was just a pop party balloon but as I got closer I realized it wasn't my next thought was the disappointment that Casey was having sex in our house she didn't have a steady boyfriend was this one of those friends with benefits they talk about nowadays with my thumb and forefinger I cautiously picked up the condom from the floor lifted it and stared this condom was by no means used 4 months ago the contents inside were still liquid I'm no expert on these things but surely this damn thing was

filled no more than a week or two ago my head was spinning and I'm sure I yelled out loud what the hell what the hell what the hell I had to sit down on the bed for a moment this condom could only mean one thing but the thought of my Diana cheating was beyond my comprehension we'd been married for 22 years and she had never given me any reason to doubt her faithfulness sure she's 43 and guys still flirt with her the only little wrinkles on her face are laugh lines she worries they age her

I told her they only enhance her natural beauty she smiled that smile and kissed me when I said that her body is as toned as when we got married before this damn project Diana was at the gym 3 days a week last spring we took two weeks and went to the Bahamas Diana turned heads in her tiny bikini she even treated me to a topless day at the beach that night we made love like newlyweds we didn't even bother with dinner so why am I sitting on our daughter's bed holding this damn used condom I

shook the cobwebs out of my head and went to the kitchen for a plastic bag I put the condom in the bag the bag in an envelope and then stashed it at the bottom of the freezer in the garage it's the only thing I could think of preserve the evidence just in case damn it I didn't even want to think about the consequences of this divorce could I forgive Diana what if she doesn't want forgiveness what if she's in love with this guy I was completely out of my element this came out of nowhere like

a robot on autopilot I went upstairs and finished tidying up Casey's bedroom making the bed I didn't come any closer to a course of action I called my brother and asked if he had time to meet me for lunch Dave works in the city from his voice he sounded glad to hear from me and glad to get the hell out of his office for lunch when I said I was treating Dave and I sat in a booth I leaned forward and lowered my voice Dave this is going to lead to nothing this is just between

you and me understood of course Al what's going on I told Dave about what I found he sat there with his mouth open Al I can't believe this not Diana she loves you man that's what I thought too but how else do you explain what I found it's just the two of us living in the house the only guests we've had all fall were the Johnson's and they stayed in the guest room I don't think they would sneak into Casey's room for quickie what are you going to do I think I'm going to confront Diana

face to face when she gets home tonight I can't imagine pretending like nothing happened no no don't do that confronting her without evidence is the last thing you should do why not let me tell you why not 2 months ago I came home from work early when I walked in I could swe I heard the back door close at first I thought it was Janet sneaking out the back so I headed to the kitchen but then I heard her calling me from upstairs I went up and saw Janet in her robe I asked her what

was going on did I catch her in the ACT I was Furious Janet blew up she yelled at me for a couple of minutes how could I accuse her the mother of our children of something like that she tore into me for even thinking it she shut me off from sex for 3 weeks 3 weeks without sex and very little kissing it was damn cold in the house until she finally led me out of the dogghouse sure I still suspected I didn't let on to her but after that I kept my eyes wide open I

don't know if Janet realizes it I hope not but for the past 2 months I've been keeping a checklist what's on this checklist check her closet check her phone check the bedroom for signs of sex a couple of times I unexpectedly came home for lunch paid closer attention to Janet's appearance any changes in her behavior any changes in our sex life where the hell did you get this checklist found it online amazing what's out there I just Googled cheating wife and all sorts of crap popped up including the checklist throughout this conversation our waitress kept

coming and going taking our order bringing lunch bringing the check throughout it all I caught her listening in finally when she brought our check she leaned in and spoke I caught my guy checking his phone he and his side chick were keeping up a steady stream of messages he tried to deny it but it was too late I dumped him I left the restaurant not knowing what I was going to do I sat in my study and listened to ro manov classical music always calms me and helps me think were there any other signs of

infidelity anything besides one used condom of course Diana worked late coming home late in the evenings and even stopping by the office on Saturdays there were trip out of town what did Dave say did her behavior change it hit me last month Diana spent an hour in the bathroom soaking in the tub and primping when she was done she called me into the bedroom I walked in to find her in a silk robe I'd never seen before Diana melted into my arms and began undressing me go shower and shave hurry up I was as hard

as a rock when I entered the bathroom a quick shower a thorough shave and I returned to the bedroom four candles were lit there and Diana lay on the bed the covers thrown back I dropped my towel and joined her on the bed we kissed I unbuttoned her silk top and slid it off her shoulders my hands caressed those perfect beup breasts my fingers teased her nipples we took our time leisurely exploring each other's bodies for 23 years since the day I asked Diana to marry me hers was the only body i' touched and I'd

never Tire of holding it in my hands playing with it I leaned in to pull off Diana's pajama bottoms I was ready to but when I pulled those pants down from her ass and slid them down her thighs I got the biggest surprise of my life Diana had shaved her Mound and lips completely bald Diana had always been neatly trimmed but she'd never been completely bare I looked up at her and she just looked back at me a mischievous smile lit up her face do you like it I was speechless so I've always enjoyed looking

down at Diana as I said she's always neatly trimmed so it's not like waiting Through the Jungle where hair gets stuck in your throat but this was something else entirely I've seen photos of bald [ __ ] and we've watched a couple of porn movies where the actresses were cleanly shaved but this was the first time I'd seen it in real life I answered Diana's question by lowering myself down and kissing her when she recovered from her first orgasm she asked me can we try something of course lie on your back we climaxed several times

in in a row we looked at each other and started laughing almost simultaneously we said the same thing that was amazing then we laughed a little more once we composed ourselves we went to the bathroom and showered together kissing all the while that was a month ago and until today's conversation with my brother at lunch it hadn't even occurred to me that Diana was shaving for anyone but me it's time for another investigation Diana will be back home in a couple of hours so there's no better time to start than now first first I searched

through her wardrobe rumaging through boxes and bags nothing out of the ordinary except for a new bikini in a Nordstrom bag still with the tags on maybe that's what she wears for him in Phoenix I'll definitely look into it the next time she's out of town then I peaked into her drawers again nothing I hadn't seen before no new frilly underwear no night gowns no short dresses or tops I hadn't seen her wear no hidden stash of condoms by the time finished my search it was time to prepare dinner it was a salad night so

it wasn't too difficult I opened a bottle of burgundy Peno Noir and sat in the kitchen waiting for Diana to return when she walked through the door 15 minutes later I couldn't believe this was the woman I suspected of cheating on me she nearly dropped her briefcase hugged me tightly and kissed me deeply then I tasted wine on her lips I'm so happy to be home 2 weeks with my family I submitted my report this afternoon it's done I hope you don't mind I took my team across the street to the Metropolitan and bought drinks

I had to thank them all for their hard work I had one glass of wine and came straight home she kissed me again oh darling I missed you so much these past few months I hugged her around the waist and pulled her close I've missed you too does this mean you won't have any work for the next 2 weeks no work at all I hope so but I wouldn't be surprised if a question or two comes up and I have to take a call if I'm lucky I won't have to leave I promise to keep

it to a minimum I'm looking forward to 2 weeks with you in Casey did she call I talked to her this morning her flight lands at 11:00 and we'll pick her up does she have plans for tomorrow evening we discussed it she'll have dinner with us she's looking forward to home-cooked food then after dinner she's meeting up with friends she said we'll spend the whole sunday catching up Diana and I had a wonderful evening we drank wine almost finished the second bottle had salad drank two brandies and talked the whole time I almost forgot about

my suspicions while we chatted by half 10 Diana was Tipsy and couldn't stop yawning let's go to bed I need a little sleep Diana fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow I didn't go to sleep I wanted to read an hour later she was in a deep Slumber and I did something I'd never done before I reached out and grabbed her phone from the bedside table press the button to unlock it it was locked it took me at least 2 hours to fall asleep after that the waitress's words haunted my thoughts I

caught my boyfriend checking his phone Diana got up before me and I smelled coffee brewing I walked into the kitchen good morning sleepy head how long have you been up I'm sorry for ignoring you I didn't realize how exhausted I was I'll make it up to you when Casey goes out with her friends tonight I promise There She Goes being sweet again are these the words of a cheating spouse but still why is her phone locked I decided to try a trick that came to me at 1: in the morning I picked up Diana's phone

from the kitchen table Diana I need to call Sandra's husband about that fly rod he put up for sale can I get her number from your contacts list Sandra was one of Diana's colleagues and her husband was an avid fly fisherman I didn't wait for Diana's response I just pressed the button indicating the the phone was locked Diana the phone is locked when did you start locking it the password is the same as our garage door 42 I started locking it since I returned to my desk and found Kevin looking at photos on my phone

I left the phone on my desk while I was in a meeting came back and the little spy had the phone in his hands scrolling through my gallery he was so close Diana spread two fingers a couple of centimet apart to getting fired he already has a warning in his file one more rule violation and he's out maybe I didn't tell you because it was an HR issue and we always treated it as confidential information I entered 42 while Diana was speaking and the phone unlocked I would have fired him you're too lenient I probably

would have but his wife just had a baby I hope he takes the second chance good luck with that I wrote down Sandra's mobile number and would have to call later just to continue my fishing rod story of of course I could always use another fishing rod I didn't hang up so what's so interesting about the photos in your gallery that this guy almost got fired for Diana laughed wouldn't I want to know there are no photos of my lover in the nude here no selfies of me just a couple of flower show pictures we

went to with Janet last month and some cute shots of Casey she sent last semester your wife is a nag no naked photos of your lover I couldn't believe she said that I kept scrolling through her gallery and she was telling the truth just flower and Casey photos who the hell is your lover I hoped I asked that without sounding as annoyed as I felt Diana laughed again why are you asking silly who else could it be this woman drives me crazy we continued chatting about dinner menus and anything else while I discreetly continued to

browse through her text messages Diana didn't pay attention and I didn't find anything we met Casey at the airport and we spent the next 2 weeks on a wonderful family vacation we went to the mountains and went skiing we spent 3 days snowshoeing in the medow valley nights were spent in a rented cabin just a few meters from the chwick river Diana answered a few work calls and only spent one day in the office the mystery of the Hidden bikini was revealed when I opened my Christmas present from Diana two tickets to the Bahamas for

early March and I have something special to wear while we're there she said damn near embarrassing Casey as she help up two tiny pieces of fabric mom please I probably would have forgotten all about this condom mystery if not for my brother I mean Diana just showered me with love and affection throughout those two weeks Diana and I threw a party inviting many of our neighbors my brother was there with his wife Janet they lived in the next neighborhood over with their two teenagers twin boys I like most of our neighbors we're in one of

the few neighborhoods in Seattle where people really take the time to get to know their neighbors and talk to them that evening there were about 12 couples at our house one of the few neighbors I couldn't stand was Ed Parker the only reason he was invited was his wife Sylvia she's such a nice lady that Diana insisted we invite them despite Parker being a bragger and a flirt not the fun kind of flirt but one of those jerks you want to keep away from your wife because you know he'd sleep with her if your wife

had bad enough taste to let him during the party Ed Parker drank too much and started running his mouth he and Hank Johnson went out to the inner Courtyard for smoke there's no smoking in our house Diana can barely standed outside and Ed boasted to Hank about some wonderful [ __ ] in the neighborhood Dave was using the bathroom the window was cracked and Dave could hear Ed's words it didn't go far because Hank got tired of Ed's bragging he stubbed out his cigarette and went back inside the thing is ever since Ed got fired

from his job at the bank he's been a stay-at-home husband and Sylvia brings home the bacon so if there's a guy who has the time opportunity and inclination to sleep with any of the neighborhood wives it's Ed Parker the next day Dave approached and relayed what he overheard I was stunned when Dave asked L do you think Ed Parker was the one with the condom no way damn it I can't see Diana with that scumbag she knows I hate that jerk she thinks he's an [ __ ] and besides I don't think Diana would cheat

on me but the condom how do you explain that I don't know I just don't think it's Diana well if it were me I'd need to know for sure I couldn't live with a cheating [ __ ] for a wife watch your language Dave you're talking about my wife sorry still Dave didn't finish the sentence he didn't need to finish for me to understand his point of view I thought about the used condom in the freezer could I get DNA from Diana and Ed to compare it to the DNA on the condom it seemed far-fetched

and would it be real evidence I could use in court if it came to that I decided to take a simpler route I was out of town for 4 days next week if anything went wrong they'd have plenty of time to take advantage of the situation the clerk at the Spy Shop couldn't have been more helpful probably because I walked out of there with gear totaling over 1,00 bucks I could set up a tiny motion sensitive camera in Casey's room it would blend in among all the knick-knacks on her shelf same deal for the guest

room now equipped with new radio clocks with cameras inside our bedroom was trickier anything new in the room would be noticed I opted for a voice activated recorder hidden under my nightstand that should do it was a tough week possibly the longest of my life I talked to Diana every evening and if something was up she was the world's greatest actress nothing came out of her mouth except I love you or I miss you on Friday she took the day off and met me at the airport we grabbed Tai takeout from our favorite spot and

ate it in bed after welcome home [ __ ] the whole weekend was spent making up for lost time unfortunately Diana had to fly out to Phoenix on Tuesday for the official signing of the purchase contract I'm sorry it couldn't be done until you were out of town the lawyers didn't finish with the paperwork until Wednesday by the time the ink dried it took the board a few days to organize the trip I'm leaving Tuesday morning and we be back Wednesday night nothing we can do about it I just hope this this is the last

major project for you this year you've really been burning the candle at both ends you did great honey I love this woman so much that all weekend I hoped and prayed that nothing would come out of all those recordings on Tuesday Morning Diana left on her flight at 6 in the morning I poured myself a cup of coffee and settled into the office to review the cameras and voice recordings I started with the most likely room Casey's room the image came up right away the date and time indicated Wednesday at noon two adulterers entered the

room and immediately began undressing each other I was horrified watching the destruction of at least one marriage and possibly two I had no idea how Sylvia would react to seeing a copy of this video which I had planned to share with her after Ed undressed she got on her knees and satisfied him then lay on Casey's bed they didn't bother pulling back the blankets they just did it right on top of her blanket I quickly fast forwarded through the scene I didn't need to see the details but I needed to see how it all ended

and at certain points I was curious to hear what these two were saying unpleasant comments directed at their unsuspecting spouses so I rewound paused watched and listened then fast forwarded again and here's what they did I stepped back and listened I want you to [ __ ] me oh how I wish we didn't have to use these damn condoms I wish you could fill me up I want to feel you why don't you just take the pills that way we could do without these condoms because my husband got fixed and I don't want to risk

him finding out I'm on birth control and I don't want to risk getting pregnant I was freaking out like crazy when I had twins I just waited for them to be born to make sure they were his if they had turned out to be half asian it would have been hell that was the last time I made a mistake by getting involved with someone of another race how many men have you slept with while you've been married my sister-in-law was outraged when Ed Parker came on to her Janet pushed him away and answered his question

not that it's any of your business but you're number three I like men I like how my husband takes care of me and the twins we have a good life but he only satisfies some of my needs that's why we need to be careful he almost caught us in October that's the last time we had sex at my place and since your wife comes and goes all day it's the safest option until my niece comes home that's going to be hard to explain when she finished her monologue Ed pushed her back onto the bed and

started her again I turned it off I called Dave at work and asked him to come over after dinner he came and it didn't go very well he cried for a while and we drank too much I called Janet and told her Dave would stay over at our place I didn't tell her what had prompted his excessive Indulgence in his desires and she didn't ask I won't go into all the details on Wednesday Dave and I took the day off after he recovered from The Hangover we went to my lawyer's office and talked to their

family specialist Dave filed for divorce some things didn't go as she wanted the twins turned 14 and they decided to live with their father I was prepared for them to hear rather than see their mother's confession of betraying their father fortunately that wasn't necessary the boys preferred to stay with their father since Dave wanted to take the boys the judge awarded him the house he was supposed to pay Janet maintenance for 2 years but over those 2 years it amounted to only 1,200 a month Sylvia divorced Ed using the video I gave her she stayed

in the house and he left thank goodness because Dave was looking for him I heard that Janet tried to convince Ed to move in with her but Ed said he wouldn't have anything to do with a cheating [ __ ] Diana and I did everything we could to help Dave get through all the drama of that first year Diana was especially helpful with her two godsons they both relied on her as a confidant even Casey helped with her cousins after graduation in May she spent the summer her last stay with us before moving to Portland

in September giving advice from a female perspective I'm getting ahead of myself I must tell you what I found on the other video and on the recorder nothing well nothing alarming and actually the recorder in our bedroom did capture a few of Diana's phone calls at least half of the calls during my business trip Diana talked to her mom Casey and her boss I won't go into details let's just say this woman loves me and I have nothing to worry about seems she thinks I'm quite the catch I never told Diana about my suspicions some

things are better left alone of course now she knew about the camera in Casey's room I made up an explanation told her I suspected Janet used a key she had from our house to me dead I just needed to prove it Diana seemed to buy into that explanation until almost a month had passed since all this [ __ ] hit the fan dinner was over and Diana and I had a night cap after dinner relaxing and reading in the living room suddenly Diana looked up from her book do you think I'm cheating on you [

__ ] I sat there looking like a deer caught in headlights Diana sat in her chair staring at me waiting for my response babe come over here to the couch let me tell you a story I explained the circumstances the filled condom my conversation with Dave and the nosy waitress the blocked phone the shaved [ __ ] the overtime work and the travels it all lay on one side of the scale then I told her that all this time I never truly believed she could betray our marriage despite all these strange facts and circumstances she

wasn't that kind of woman Diana looked at me I could see she was trying her hardest to understand that's the kind of woman she was she hugged me around the neck and uttered the magical words Alec darling I could never do that to us I love you and that was the end of it
