My Wife

It all happened over a weekend. We decided that as a last fling before graduation we would go to Las Vegas. I don't remember asking her, it just happened. We drove from Boulder and arrived late that Friday night. The four of us checked into one room with two beds. She was to sleep with me.

We went out to the strip, had some beer, walked in and out of several casinos. Played the slots a little. We split up and she and I went walking on the strip. She told me she didn't want to sleep with someone until she was married. Two hours later we had gotten married at one of those marriage chapels. We went back to the room, the other two guys were already there.

We graduated and took jobs and stayed married. I checked with a lawyer it was legal, not divorced meant married. Five years before we talked about it. I asked her if she wanted a divorce. She didn't want to be a divorcee. So we stayed married. We decided to have sex, since we were married and we were in our late twenties. Sex by the book, consummated the marriage.

She said we should live together. She managed the money, she ran the house. She suggested that she should have her children. She managed my life. She was competent. I made a mistake, I went out with some friends after work. To a strip joint and we ended up with some whores. How she knew I was with a whore she never said, she just told me 'that's once, it won't happen again'. It didn't.

Sex was a duty, she scheduled sex. She was competent.

We separated after 15 years, lived next door to each other. That's how we live today. Sex is scheduled, she is still my wife.
