My wonderful HUSBAND
We have this "couple" that we are friends with. I don't yet feel comfortable using real names ... not yet anyways. But let's just call them "Adam & Eve" for now. *snickers*
They are about the only couple, around our age that always seemed like they had their heads on their shoulders so-to-speak. They have been together I think for like 14 or 15 years & married for about 9. They owned a house, had decent jobs (until the recession hit, and ended up in foreclosure ... like so many others) and they don't have any kids. Pretty much the only people we know, our age anyways, that don't. Of course, they decided long ago that they didn't want any either.
The only 'thing' is ... that they have what I guess you would call an open relationship. They are (in the loose sense of the word) swingers.
Yes, it's a little weird in my book, but they are adults and that's their choice. Once we made it clear that we were IN NO WAY interested in that, then they never brought it up again. I *do* know that mostly they are into bring another woman into their bed ... but I have also heard rumors about him screwing other girls while she was at work, etc. I just try to stay out of it, as that seems like WAY TOO much drama fro me to handle.
At one point, "Adam" tried to convince my husband that their lifestyle actually saved their marriage. Oooookay. But like I said, whatever works for them is their business.
Last night, Ryan called me up and said that the previous evening ... without any kind of warning "Eve" just up and left "Adam". She gave him NO REASON whatsoever. Just said that she was moving back to her moms.
Obviously "Adam" was in complete shock, and said to her. "Well its clear you've made up your mind, how are we going to split everything up?"
and her reply was "You keep everything ... I don't want any of it"
Hrrmmmm ... very suspicious. Anyways, Ryan seems to think that maybe she found a 'sugar-daddy' but no one really knows. How FUCKED UP is that??? So he took "Adam" out, along with a couple of other guys, to do the boys-night-thingy. Which was fine, I can understand he's probably crushed (although I *still* don't understand their whole relationship and how this hasn't come up before. I should also add, that she could VERY WELL have been screwing someone else too ... I don't know.
She was always bragging to me about how much she loved "Adam" and how perfect they are together ... blah,blah,blah. What really IRKS me, is that this morning, Ryan called me before I left for work, I could tell he was a little down, and he says to me "Man, that whole thing is just fucked up. Please promise me you'll never do anything like that to me ... I don't know how I could live without you."
*COLLECTIVE Awwwwww!*
While it was sweet, I can't help thinking ... my GOD! What is this world coming to??? I made a promise to him when we got married, and I believe in that promise ... or else I wouldn't have done it.
So, here were are ... amid yet another divorce (most likely) with Ryan and I being the last ones standing. Even though I always KNEW we would be ... I kind of feel like we deserve a medal or something! LOL
It just makes me HAPPY to know that while a lot of couples are finding it harder and harder to stay together, we have done nothing but grow closer with each passing year. And I'll be honest ... I cried when he said he didn't know how he could live without me. In all these years, he has never actually SAID that outloud ... IN THOSE WORDS. I knew he felt that way, but it was always more of a passing comment (Cuz you know ... tough guys don't admit those things *giggles*)
So here's to my wonderful husband, who just keeps getting better with age!!
Now if you'll excuse me, I think a few sext messages are calling my name xD
