Husband: My wife seems to have become fascinated with the way other people live. She recently had to visit her boss at home to give him some assistance. She was surprised at what a nice place he lived in, and for the last few weeks has been trawling the property sites to see what sort of apartment we might live in. I'm not keen to move, but I'm also aware that if my wife wants to get a new place, we will be going. She tol...

Husband: My wife tells me that since she has been doing so well for the company as the Customer Satisfaction Manager, the directors have decided to bring Staff Satisfaction under her control as well. She seems very happy with it, not only because it means another significant jump in salary, but also because she is now part of the senior management team. In fact, she is earning more than I do now. That doesn't include the...

Husband: My wife, with her promotion, gets an Uber or a taxi ride to and from home on her business. She enjoys it because she doesn't have to worry about a coat or getting caught in the rain. She did mention that she might get wet getting out of the car, but that was something she could deal with. She says it's a chance to relax on the way home from the high activity of the day. All I know is that I get my dinner on the t...

Husband: My wife tells me that her firm has asked her to sponsor a sports team. I was both amazed and rather jealous that the team they are looking at is my favourite local side. I've followed them since I was very young, and I've got a bit of a man crush on several of the players. I got very excited that I would be able to see the team for all the home games in decent seats, but my wife told me that wasn't how it would w...

Husband: My wife came home very excited the other night. She is getting an intern for the summer. She has been working hard for the last six months, coming home exhausted. "All fucked out" was her expression, which is unlike my wife, as she is pretty prudish. The intern will be shared with reception, but will take care of her paperwork and get her ready and 'in the mood and ripe for her client'. Again, odd words from my p...

Husband: My wife loves her protein shakes. Most days, she waxes lyrical about how many she has, where she gets them and visitors who bring one in for her. Almost everyone she deals with —fellow workers, customers, and workers at the local coffee shops — all seem to know her personal preferences. It does seem odd to me, because she never drinks them at home, even on a weekend. But I gave up trying to understand my wife a w...

Husband: My wife has been working in her new role as Manager of Customer Satisfaction for a while now. She is earning more money than I am, as she gets sign-on bonuses for convincing new customers to use her firm. She works hard all day, often with as many as four customer meetings. There is no time for paperwork as it takes her some time to recover, so she works at home on a Wednesday to catch up with all that. She also...

Husband: My wife is enjoying the new way she works at work. She comes home each day full of joy and seems to get a real kick out of telling me all about her meetings. I keep hoping that her excited state will lead to some sex, but in this my wife is still prudish. By the time we are ready for bed, her excitement has changed into tiredness. I did understand that she had finished her probation period and her boss had promot...

Husband: My wife has been telling me every night this week how she is getting on with her new meeting technique. According to her, she is struggling to convey to the new customer the tone of the meeting. She has to go through a lot of boring explanations, but she finds that using humour and some mild flirting works wonders. The customer is distracted, and she can explain all the details without being interrupted by too ma...

Summer walked home from the park in a daze, unable to think about anything but Harry and Scott and the worlds of difference between them. She had to talk to Harry about it somehow. What Scott had given her would not be denied, and things could not just stay the same. But how to even broach the subject? She knew Harry would be expecting sex tonight. It was Saturday, the only day of the week she could rely on him to want it...

I didn’t get any work done that day, nor did I sleep well that night. The following day was better, but by Saturday evening, I realized that I’d had no visitors, and I began to worry. I’d expected someone to come and try to talk me out of exposing Ella’s secret and, in turn, the community’s role in keeping it. That didn’t happen. No one came to talk to me about this or anything else. I thought about reaching out to someon...
