Darling I want to take a lover - a post card fiction short wife infidelity story by Rob Hopcott

When my wife said she wanted to be unfaithful with another man, I felt as if I'd been punched in my stomach and all the breath had been knocked out of me.

To be fair, she said she wanted me to be the first to know of her decision and that she'd nobody in mind yet.

I just didn't know what to say, hoping desperately that, if I didn't make too much of a fuss, she might think again.

Since losing my job at the Bank, I'd felt less than the ideal husband, anyway, and I could easily understand her wanting a proper man in her arms, one who was able to contribute to the housekeeping. I felt sad not mad with her. After all, it was my fault not hers that creditors were telephoning us almost daily.

My hopes of a reprieve were dashed when she explained that the only way she was willing to do this was if I assisted in the search for her ideal lover.

To be honest, I still haven't come to terms with my wife's regular infidelity in our back bedroom or the part I played introducing her to my ex regional manager.

She says, he means nothing to her and when they are at the height of their passion together, it's always me she is making love to.

All I can feel is relief. I've got my job back, the threatening telephone calls have stopped and the cash we've stored up under the floorboards will soon be enough for a foreign holiday.
