It was eleven weeks after their "kiss and make up" session in my office, when Mark had so optimistically tried to say goodbye to me, that it all hit the fan. He and Leanne were scheduled for a joint session at 8:30 am on a Tuesday, but Leanne didn't arrive until nearly 9:00. She'd clearly been crying and looked very upset; and she was alone.
"Mark's gone, Tom—he left last night without telling me!"
I got her to sit down and tried to calm her a little, asking her to tell me everything that had happened. For several minutes she cried too hard to be very coherent; but finally she was calm enough to talk about it.
"Everything was fine the last few days—at least I thought so. And last night was really special! We watched TV in the living room for a little while and then started fooling around, teasing and giggling. And then Mark picked me up in his arms and carried me off to the bedroom.
"And we made love, and it was wonderful—just fantastic. We took our time and really pleased each other, and when we finally got to the ... to intercourse, it got very fast and hard and intense. I came several times, and the last time the two of us came together. It was just tremendous!
"Afterwards we just lay there, cuddling, with me telling him how marvelous he was, and we drifted off to sleep. I felt really content, and really close to him." She sniffled some more.
"And then this morning he was gone! And a bunch of clothes were gone from his part of the closet, and when I looked I found that two of our suitcases were missing."
"And he didn't say anything in particular last night, or leave you a note or anything?" I asked.
Her eyes welled up again, and she said, "he left these on the dining room table".
She dropped two things into my palm. One was a folded sheet of paper, on which Tom had written, "Sorry, I just can't handle this anymore". The other was his wedding ring.

BadCuban5 days agoAgree with TrainerOfBimbos, this is not a stupid trope story, it uses a trope to tell a better story, sometime about the emotional states of two people who are in love and could have something. It depends on how they can find the solution, the actual story. Jeez, leave the revenge and wimp stuff at the door. Not everything is "just a flesh wound, it'll get better". Sometimes it takes real work.
TrainerOfBimbos21 days agoSo many people here are either not following the story, or aren't intelligent enough to understand the problem. Leanne has an emotional problem that she's never dealt with and Mark, frankly, has one too.

Leanne said it perfectly already - she had extra sex on the side to give her emotional validation because she is afraid of being rejected/hurt by the man she loves. It's an emotional shield designed to give her a buffer against the pain she is afraid of. Mark is an avoidant personality - he ignores, boxes up, puts to the side, feelings that he doesn't want to deal with until they get too strong for him to ignore and he has a break down.

Personally I think it's a great story because no one is really at fault here - they just both did some terrible things to themselves and by proxy each other, but they did those things because they have issues that need to be worked out. Leanne needs to have the courage to make herself emotionally vulnerable to Mark and Mark needs to stop running away from his problems. It sounds simple, but it's very very hard for people to change these coping mechanisms without help from a professional.

Once again, an amazingly good story for this website. Very insightful and very real.
Anonymous3 months agoTo portray the husband as kind, intelligent, handsome,, tall, well built, well endowed and a good sexual partner makes the story both more engaging and less credible at the dame time. The wife is not an effervescent personality, a goddess, a genius or independently wealthy. There is nothing about her that would lead a guy who rates as a 9+ out of 10 to choose a reluctantly voluntary cuckold relationship with her over a monogamous marriage with one of the dozens of other 8+ out of 10 women who would have been receptive to his proposal. The premise of this story line is faulty, and the series fails due to its extreme improbability as a result.
Anonymous3 months ago"You've been through something difficult and traumatic. The fact that it sometimes gets to you is only natural—it's not a sign of weakness."
Yes it is. And the weakness was consenting being husband to a woman who wasn't his wife
Anonymous5 months agoSeems like we're being played by the author, in order to build tension.
The idea that someone would willingly enter into such a pointless marriage, when living together or FWB would have provided the same is quite beyond me. But the idea that he'd just bail later on is even more explicable. Being delusional/living in denial just doesn't cover it.
