When You Ex Suddenly Looks 'manageable'! by Benikuuse(m): 9:10am On Aug 22, 2016 |
I’ve always believed there’s no point
hanging on to a dead marriage where
both partners no longer see eye to
eye. The few victims who’ve had the
guts to pack such a marriage in have
confessed to being relieved - and
happy. Joy’s marriage was already on
its back, with the hooves virtually in
the air, when she told me she would
rather be on her own than live with
the ‘lodger’ her husband had turned
into. Not one to act on impulse, I
asked her to give such a hard decision
a deep thought before she threw in
the towel.
love
“It’s not as if I have children to
consider,” she said. “I have only one
daughter, and she’s in the university.
Most of the time, I’m on my own
whilst Cyril (the husband) lives his
own life. He goes and comes as he
pleases. Well, I want to do the same
without being labelled adulterous! I
feel I can work better and improve the
quality of my life without a stressful
marriage.”
Her chance came when she heard on
the grapevine that Cyril had been
giving a lot of attention to Mubo. “She
was his old flame, his ‘first love’ as he’s
often bragged,” Joy explained. “And
I’d had my suspicions that he was
seeing her even before the rumours
became rife. There wasn’t anything
special about her and I have always
found her dull and annoying, but they
went way back. He even admitted
visiting her now she was single again,
but that they were just good friends. I
didn’t really believe him and didn’t
particularly care either.
It was around this time that finishing
touches were completed to the
rundown bungalow I was
refurbishing. I wanted to let it at first,
but decided to move in with my
daughter. My problem was selling the
idea of our living happily apart to Cyril
and I reckoned with lover girl on his
mind, it would be easy.
“Cyril wasn’’t buying any of that at first,
but I explained I would rather be on
my own and he needed to move on
with his life. We both have good jobs
and healthy investments so there
were no financial obligations tying us
down. I felt enormous relief after I left
and was in the least surprised when
Joy moved in with Cyril a few months
later! We hadn’t even discussed
getting a divorce. When next he visited
our daughter and I teased him about
it, he said he might have the
traditional engagement ceremony
with her. The gall of the man! But
what was the point of getting angry
with him? I’d moved on with my life,
so should he.
“Since there was no bitterness when
we separated, he visited as often as
he could to see our daughter and to
sort out details of our divorce. He
always loved a good gossip and with
lots of news to swap on our friends,
our conversation sparkled once more.
I was in the kitchen preparing lunch
one evening when he dropped by. He
teased me as he often did and I
laughed flirtatiously with him. For the
first time in a long while, I took an
interest in his tall physique and the
chest hair peeping from his shirt. He
was looking at me with the same lust,
then we kissed.
“Thank goodness our daughter was
out as we made out on the settee!
The passion between us hadn’t been
this intense and frantic in years. ‘Hey,
we could still rock together’, Cyril
thrilled. We made love again - but it
wasn’t the humdrum, tired’ marriage
sex’ we used to have. This was raw
and hungry, hard and fast. The sense
of taboo and familiarity made it an
explosive mix. Afterwards though, 1
refused to cuddle up to him so as not
to confuse physical desire with love.
Besides, I was enjoying being a free
and single woman and had no desire
to return to the straight jacket of our
marriage. ‘I’m not planning on us
coming back together,’ Cyril said
sheepishly. ‘I wouldn’t want to hurt
Joy.’ He was relieved when I smiled
naughtily at him and teased him he
was my bit-on- the-side now. That
sort of set him off as he entered my
bedroom and we were off again. He
then freshened up and raced back to
his ‘jailer’ while I lay in bed, grinning
like the cat that got the milk! Sad
boring Joy! I’d got one over on her.
I’d proved I was still an attractive,
passionate woman at
46 - and I had no qualms about the
situation in the slightest. After all, what
have I done but sleep with my own
husband! Cyril couldn’t have felt too
guilt-stricken either as he started
visiting me whenever he knew our
daughter was out. Each time, we
wasted no time in getting down to
business in the safety of my bedroom.
Our hot and smoking romps
continued as our divorce came
through and didn’t stop after he and
Joy married. Our illicit sex is still too
exciting to both of us to give up.
“Lately, he’s been grumbling he’s not
happy with Joy. That’s no skin off my
nose and I’m sure our affair doesn’t
help. But do I feel guilty? No way!
Do I wish them well in their marriage?
Hell no! What did Cyril expect,
marrying an old flame like her? He
should have had enough sense that
rekindling an old flame seldom works.
As for me, I now have the best of
both worlds. The freedom of living on
my own - and the power of knowing
Cyril can’t get enough of me. I won’t
be giving that up in a hurry for
anyone!
Once in a while, I run into both of
them at parties. Joy always looks a bit
apprehensive when she sees me, and
she believes she’s responsible for my
broken marriage. It’s all I could do not
to laugh out loud. Now that I’m my
husband’s mistress, I’ve got my libido
back! Let her be the one to lie awake
nights, wondering why she’s not
getting as much nookie as before!” |
