The next chapter of my story happened a few months before I was married. I met Sue around six months after Ronnie first joined my ski team. Ronnie had continued skiing with us but because I was now taking Linda out, Ronnie started driving herself rather than travelling with me. It was during one of these weekends out skiing that Ronnie took me aside and told me that Ron had proposed to her. I congratulated her and told he...

It was an early morning trip to a football match on a cold day when I first met my soon-to-be good mate Ron. He and I were so different and our positions in life should reasonably have made us enemies. Anyone looking at us and at how we met would have shaken their head and simply said, “No way, couldn’t happen, they couldn’t be friends,” but we became very good friends and we still are today, many years later. Ron played...

Julie and I had agreed that Marg and Cherie should move into the unit at the rear of our home so that we could become a family of four. It was rather an unusual situation or so we thought so we had all agreed to keep our arrangement a secret from the rest of the world. We were to present such that everyone could assume that this was a tenant-landlord arrangement. Our good friends Debbie and Gloria wished to have another c...

Following many nights of thinking about our past, I had communicated my apology to Sue for being so trusting of Lyn. At no time during our discussion was she able to show any sign of appreciation that I had made the effort. This was probably a good thing for me because it allowed me to know that my conscience was clear. It seemed that the situation with Lyn had made little difference to Sue’s decision to leave. Julie and...

Marg and I had travelled east to investigate if Lyn, Marg’s sister, had been manipulating Sue to cheat on me. What we found out horrified me. Every person that was involved who was willing to talk to us told a similar story. Lyn had been setting up liaisons for Sue with a huge number of men. This information did not take the responsibility away from Sue. It was Sue who was meeting those men. It was Sue who was having sex...

Marg and I had travelled east to investigate if Lyn, Marg’s sister had been manipulating Sue to cheat on me. I guess I already knew the answer but I was hoping against hope that it was not the case because it meant that I had often blamed Sue for things that were not totally her fault. This meant that I had a larger involvement in Sue’s decision to leave me than I was comfortable with. Marg being Marg wanted us to become...

Sue had left me. She had run off with Phillip. When she left I was in the eastern state so she had the opportunity to clean out the house as well as our accounts including our investment account. I was effectively broke. Had it not been for my friends and for the business that I worked for, it may have led to bankruptcy. Initially, I was suffering mentally. I desperately needed to push some of my stress back on those who...

Lyn and Ron got married. Julie and I had attended the wedding. Sue, my wife was supposed to be in Sydney at a skating competition. I had talked to Debbie who told me that Sue had left me and had cleared out all our belongings. I checked my accounts and found she had also cleaned out all our savings as well as my last month’s salary. I had tried calling Sue but her mobile was switched off and our home phone was not being a...

The story until now. Lyn and Ron had just got married. Julie and I had attended the wedding. Sue, my wife was supposed to be in Sydney at a skating competition. Just prior to the wedding, I had spoken to Marg who should have been minding our teenaged children but she told me that Sue had picked the kids up the previous afternoon. Sue had provided no information to Marg as to why she had come home from Sydney earlier than...

The story until now. I had just returned from the US. Julie came back with me with the intent that I would coach her in her barefoot water skiing. To allow that to happen, I had helped her obtain a job as a support person for my administrative assistant, Ronny who was grossly overloaded with work. After spending the night at home with Sue, I was heading across to Julie when I had noticed Sue following me. I managed to giv...

As I drove towards Julies place a traffic light turned red so I pulled up. As was customary with me, I looked into the rear-vision mirror. I noticed a car slow down well back from the traffic which was quite unusual so I took a second look. The car fitted the description of my wife, Sue’s car. I moved on to the next set of lights and slowed to allow them to turn red. As I pulled up, I again observed the car behind slow we...

The story until now. Lyn and I had just returned from the US. During our trip, we had gained a new friend and lover Julie who was also a barefoot water skier. Julie had returned to Australia with us on the pretext that I would coach her in her sport. I was looking forward to it. On our return journey, Lyn had announced to me that she had met a friend, Ron. She had asked for my blessing to enter into a relationship with hi...

The story until now. In The US Lyn met a water skier called Julie and she invited her home to our bed. I spent a week coaching Julie in barefoot water skiing and found that she was a quick learner. Following the worlds, Julie decided to travel Route 66 with us and then come back to Australia with us. She stated that the reason was to continue her coaching with me. On our first night of our trip, Julie told me she was fall...

The story until now Sue, my wife, had been cheating on me for years. I initially didn’t respond but as time passed and she continued to be unfaithful. I responded by having an affair with Marg. Eventually, I decided to leave my job and travel to the West. In doing so I told her that if she wanted to come with me, then she had to stop her cheating. She agreed but within weeks of arriving in the west, I found that she was h...
