I just sat on my bed, staring off at nothingness. The world around me had ceased to exist, as if somewhat had stolen it out from beneath my feet. And ...in a shocked monotone, I replied, "Dawn said she's going to stay with Ryan. He worked really hard this year and he was accepted as a transfer student to Berkeley. She said that as much as she adores me and values our lifelong friendship, she doesn't want to walk away from what she and he have built together."I went silent and just kept staring at. It's all I've got." That sounded like good and pure reasoning, to me anyway.After a few seconds, she asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?" No. Not now." Why?" I've dated several but just haven't found the right one yet." How old are you?" she asked."Twenty-seven." I thought you were still in your 20's. You have a long time ahead of you to find true love. I was lucky in that I found my husband when I was in my mid-20's. His name is Robert but I call him Bobby. All his friends call him Robert,. Though he looks to have a nice package," I rambled on, nervously."Does this mean you might actually be getting ready to take the next step, Di?" Mmm, I think so. We’ve been flirting quite a bit and I sent him some of the photos you took of me. He told me some very sexy things he'd like to do to me, either with or without you. He made me so wet today! Do you want to see?" Of course I do." So it began. Rick read the conversation history whilst I sat on his lap. I don't remember who started first,. I doubt whether she needed the money it paid. So in her mind the affairs brought her some element of equality in what she saw as a very unequal marriage!So next time hubby was at a dinner party bragging to their friends about his life and how it wouldn’t all be possible without his wife’s support, Lucy could smile to herself thinking of what she’d been up to while he’d been away! And when he came home expecting his conjugal rights from his obedient little wife, she could think of the guy who’s.
