Some Lessons Fall On Deaf Ears, Until You Learn Them The Hard Way

My husband hired a new clerk for his office. When he's hiring females he always has me sit in. He knows the rules, but on this interview he asked her to come around the conference table and twirl around for him. He told her she had a nice dress and she knew how to wear it. Before I could ask my questions he asked her when she could start.

At home he was defensive 'what knockers'. She lasted from Monday to Friday before he came home late, and under pressure on my part he admitted he had 'fucked' her, and 'what a fuck she was'. Frankly, right then I did not care about him having sex with her, what scared me was getting sued. My worth, along with his, is tied up in his business.

She responded to him and was quickly his office lover. He came home every night, late many nights, he couldn't go to sleep without giving me a blow by blow. I lost my temper, my patience. He said he was going to keep riding her as long as she let him.

I asked her to lunch, what was she looking for? She feigned surprise. Wasn't I in the interview? I was there. She thought I approved her being hired. Not her fault 'the boy' didn't get his due at home. I bit my lip, that was none of her business.

I had a long talk with my husband, fire her ass, if necessary pay her off. Total 'severance' for two and a half month of employment, 25 grand. When I gave her her check, she excused her behavior 'not her fault he liked her p u s s y'.

With over twenty years in management and HR responsibilities I never met a woman like this one. I know they are everywhere, but this one came after my husband. Back in my very early days an older and wise woman, my first mentor, told me boys will be boys, and for everyone's peace of mind make sure I picked his mistress.

Today, after this episode, I learned the lesson she wanted to teach me.
