MY HUSBAND IS A CHEATER……………..!!!!!!?

Let me start at the beginning. I have been married for 15 years this fall. I always thought if you treated your spouse with kindness they would reciprocate and do the same.





My husband was very kind and caring when we were dating. It wasn’t unusual for him to bring me roses and take me for a romantic candlelit dinner at our favorite bistro. I fell completely in love with him very soon after meeting him, knowing I could spend the rest of my life with this man. When he asked me to marry him I happily said, “I do,” and anticipated a life of growing old together with no major conflicts. Was I ever wrong.





It all started with a babysitter we hired. She was a young, attractive college coed, looking for summer employment and a place to live. In return for room and board and a small allowance, she agreed to watch our children for several hours a week, as well as doing some light housekeeping. It seemed like such a good arrangement.





We have a poolhouse tucked behind our house in a little grove of trees. It is fully equipped with a small kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and sitting area, as well as a nice screened in porch wrapping around the front and two sides. It is a perfect little nest for a nanny to use as her retreat after a hard day’s work. This is where we had Gretchen settle in after she came to live and work for us. It worked out beautifully at first, and we were all happy with the arrangement. Perhaps a bit too happy…………..





As we got to know Gretchen more, and her loneliness became obvious, it seemed only right to ask her to eat meals with our family and spend time in the main house rather than solitary evenings alone in the poolhouse. She would sit in the kitchen while I cooked dinner, and we would chat about her family back in West Virginia and how homesick she was for them. She would tell us about her struggles in school, and if there were any interesting friends she’d met recently. But it seemed she never was asked to do anything with people her own age, and we wondered why. Perhaps her beauty made other women jealous and intimidated the young men she came in contact with. Both my husband and I noticed this.





As time went on, my husband and Gretchen started playing card games in the evening while I cooked dinner and afterwards while I put the children to bed. I thought nothing of their innocent fun and high spirits until one night when I unexpectedly came downstairs. I paused on the landing of the stairs, stunned by what I was seeing right before my eyes. There, at the dining room table still littered with the remains of our meal sat my husband and Gretchen.





That man was cheating. He had hidden cards in his lap, and was secretly playing them when Gretchen wasn’t looking.





I decided to ignore the whole episode like it had never happened and went into the kitchen to brew a pot of coffee.





My question is this: Should I have blown the whistle on my husband, or was I right to pretend his cheating never happened?

That cheating bastard shoud die! :-) You had me hook, line and sinker - I was waiting for the big reveal and you got me.MY HUSBAND IS A CHEATER……………..!!!!!!?
Awesome story, I love it! Great twist at the end!!! haha. You definitely should have blown that whistle. If the story is true it might have made Gretchen feel more welcome with you.
NICE ONE, maybe consider becoming a writer
LOL-Funny!!!

Great twist to your tale! You really surprised me! This was a great change from all the tales of tears %26amp; terrors we usually read here. Just one question - this is fiction, isn't it?

Are you here to get some kinda perk in your boring life?
Thats to good.
You should let him know!





Is this the first time he ever cheated in 15 years?
that's a very good f**king story. LMFAO. Long, but funny.
Wow
haha!!! i was reading like ';what a moron....'; but what a grand ending.
you just wasted 5 points and i have gained 2 thanks
OK FOLKS





For you that delve into this online text stuff like it as real as your right arm that is attached to the shoulder on your body [if you are an amputee, I apologize] ,





hey IT'S E_N_T_E_R_T_A_I_N_M_E_N_T ! !





I guess it the old adage, is the glass half empty or is it half full? People are either pessimist (moaners, complainers, begrudging, negative) or optimists (joyful, happy, fruit of the Spirit filled, look on the bright side).





While this type of means of non direct human communication is both convenient and non committal, I can not imagine anybody would pose a life or death question HERE and expect a real answer and to respond or behave as if it is, would be adverse to the original meaning and intention.





As I watch a person conjure up these questions, and just gut laughing to the extreme of up sizing their Depends (Trademark goes here) the bizarre answers to the questions when too serious baffles me. Are those humanoids far from real life or just out of touch with reality? Maybe its too much TV or movies for them. If you want to be more optimistic, maybe ask Jesus,Girl for some suggestions, cant hurt?



WOW ... all that information led to him cheating at a card game? That's a lot better than him cheating ... ON YOU. Anyway, I guess the next time you see them playing cards and there are cards on his lap, just casually say ';I think you dropped some cards, honey'; and let him go from there. If Gretchen wants to continue to play cards with a cheater, that's her choice.
