I am glad my husband found somebody. She is nice and a good woman. Young and not well to do. He is older and well to do.

Three years ago I told him I was no longer interested in intimacy, I had lost interest long before that. If he wanted a divorce I understood. In all other matters I like being his wife.

She of course wants security, I don't blame her, I did too when I was twenty five. I told her she is taken care of, not to worry. She looks after him, she gives him the intimacy he needs, she will be supported. I am ok with her having children, I never had any, and he should consider having her have children, at least two. Before he is sixty.

I can not hear them across the hall, but I know he is with her, having her be a woman, and I see it in her eyes the next day. When he makes love to her, her eyes betray her. She is shy about it, but I confess I like her talking with me about it, I like details. In that sense I am a bit of a voyeur.
