Rob grabbed the bottle and sucked down nearly half its contents. "Go easy there, Rob. Ya want to get home safe, don't ya?"
"Jake, with all due respect, right now I don't much give a rat's ass."
"Well, just think on this. She didn't go through with it, did she?"
"No, but she lied to me. She snuck out and took off with that bitch of a girlfriend. I don't know if I can trust her anymore."
"Okay, I can understand that," said Jake "but, put yourself in her place. How would you feel if the love of your life felt her job was more important than you? Would you understand if she decided she needed to put all her efforts in the work and not leave anything for you? I don't know about you Rob, but, I sure wouldn't like it and would probably do something to make her take notice." Jake snatched the empty beer glass off the counter and moved away, his eyes focused just behind Rob as he left.
Rob heard the stool to his right slide out and someone sit down. He downed another mouthful of the ale and when he placed the bottle on the counter saw a woman's slender fingers holding a beer. The ring finger was adorned with very familiar wedding rings. He followed the hand up the arm and to the face he had for so long cherished, tears running down her cheeks.
"I...I am so sorry Rob. I feel so ashamed of lying to you, of agreeing to go out with Suzie. Will you ever forgive me? I'll never lie to you again. I will tell you everything, I am so...so very sorry."
Rob just stared at her. He couldn't speak. Lindsey took his silence as a sign and moved off the stool. She reached out and touched his arm before turning away to leave.
*************
My life was over. I had lost him, all because I was stupid and selfish. I knew he would be at the Hole in the Wall and waited in the dark parking lot until I saw him drive up. I lingered in the car before going in, I was so afraid of what he would do, would say to me.
When I finally got up the courage to go in, I saw him sitting at the far end of the counter. Dear god, he looked so beaten, so lost. My heart ached seeing what I had done. The bartender was listening to whatever Rob was saying, probably about me. I moved to the opposite end and the bartender saw me.
When he arrived, I asked for the same thing Rob was having. When the bartender brought it, I also paid for another round for Rob. He raised his eyebrow and nodded. When he left, I slid off the stool and hid by the bathrooms.
I watched as he brought Rob the beer and they both looked for me. I was afraid. Before the bartender left Rob, I was able to hear what he said. Somehow, it gave me the courage to face my demons and sit next to my husband.
As I moved up onto the stool, I thought of what Suzie had said about him. I now recognized what she tried to do, to drive a wedge between me and my love. He would never cheat on me.
When Rob looked at me, I sobbed and said, "I...I am so sorry Rob. I feel so ashamed of lying to you, of agreeing to go out with Suzie. Will you ever forgive me? I'll never lie to you again. I will tell you everything, I am so...so very sorry." All he did was just stare, never saying a word.
Now, I knew. There would be no forgiving. I started to leave before I lost all control and had walked several feet before I heard him call my name. It was so faint, I wasn't sure I had really heard it. I stopped but didn't turn around, I was so terrified. Then, I felt his hands on my arms turning me around. His eyes were full of tears but he was smiling, his face glad. My hopes soared seeing that. He drew me into his arms and I started crying uncontrollably, my body shaking.
I felt his fingers glide through my hair as he whispered, "I love you Lin, more than you could ever know. I am so sorry for not listening to you. It seems we both have some forgiving to do."
I could only nod and sniffle as he gently wiped the tears from my eyes. He leaned down and kissed me softly on the lips. Oh god, how I loved his lips on mine. There is no comparison, I know that now.
Kissing me on the forehead, he said, "Let's go home."

Anonymous4 months agoAgree wholeheartedly. Don't understand the commenters who want to burn Lindsey. But it is clear that while reconciliation is possible (for both of them), their marriage has real issues including lack of trust not just on her part about his career priority but also on his part regarding her brush with infidelity and what exactly she did, how far, and why. That takes work and time and communication. Instead story is cut short and it just ends, with "all is forgiven". Too simplistic.
Anonymous4 months agoHe banned her from seeing her dodgy so so called friend and she phones her up. Really, Really. I know he is working and working hard but at least he was in the house with her and not in the office. Why did the tracker mislead him? (ok I speed read it) This will give him trust issues on several levels.
Anonymous7 months agoUmm that reconciliation was too easy. They have problems in their marriage. Big ones and it isn't just one sided. But she crossed a line. She let Tom seduce her at the club, got talked into going to Suzie's apartment (tipped over the edge by Suzie's lies of observing Rob's alleged adultery), and then got very close to sex. Tom is not a friend. He would have totally screwed her. She resisted him and ran into the bedroom, and as she was changing (no confused readers she did not change to have sex with Tom, wake up) tried to make q play for him again until she said "I love him (Rob)" and ran out of the apartment. I get that the husband broke his own wedding vows of cherish and honor by putting his job first and ignored her warnings and wants. That is not good. And in real life that certainly leads to affairs. And yes she lied and got suckered into Suzie's scheme to crack their marriage, but she went way past the line. Clearly she doesn't trust that Rob loves her. Heck at the end, she thought she lost him because he took a minute to speak. She didn't trust him when Suzie lied about seeing Rob with another woman. But now he doesn't trust her. She was very close to falling for Tom's seduction. Would like to think Ned would put a stop to it, but seems iffy. "With friends like these ..." Rob has been oblivious yo her concerns, but she just showed that she is capable of being seduced and may not remain faithful in the future. Honestly this is solvable with a lot of communication, time and effort. They both need marriage counseling. They both have issues to work out with themselves and each other. But it wouldn't be easy. What she did is ultimately forgivable but not excusable. He will have a hard time coping and dealing with the memories of what he saw and feared. This will take serious work to fix their marriage. If he is so focused on his job still, they won't make it. If she cannot clearly understand and own up to whatbshe did wrong, they won't make it. She did stop it. Twice. Once before she ran into the bedroom to change (again not for sex people!) and then again when Tom caught her in a state of partial dress. If she had succumbed. Their marriage woukd be over. But she didn't. Still doesn't make it easy to re-establish trust. Will she remain faithful? Probably. She is ashamed and did atop it beforehand. And realized Suzie was intentionally trying to put a wedge between them. Will he actually change his priorities and stop neglecting his wife? Probably. But will he fall into an old rut? Hopefully not. If you don't invest in your marriage then watch it wither and die. Both sides need to be actively engaged with one another but also understanding when other priorities do come into play. Marriage is complex. Communicate and show affection to let it grow and survives life's curveballs.
