I couldn't believe my eyes. Simone, my
0:03
wife of 5 years, was in the hot tub
0:05
below the penthouse, laughing with a guy
0:07
whose hands were all over her. Their
0:09
playful expressions quickly turned into
0:11
something more intimate. And with a
0:13
cold, detached fury, I pulled out my
0:16
phone and started filming. Just a few
0:19
hours earlier, the night had been a
0:21
charade. The company Christmas party for
0:23
SG Funds, the hedge fund where Simone
0:25
worked, was a lavish affair.
0:28
When I'd first found the invitation for
0:30
a plus one on her phone, she'd tried to
0:32
talk me out of going.
0:34
"It'll be so boring, honey," she'd said.
0:37
Just a bunch of financial experts
0:39
talking about money.
0:41
Her attempts to dissuade me, once a
0:43
source of mild confusion, now made
0:46
perfect, sickening sense. Simone and I
0:48
had a routine. Once a month, SG funds
0:51
threw a party, and she'd come home late,
0:54
or even the next morning. I had never
0:56
questioned it. I trusted her. When I did
0:59
agree to come to this one, she'd offered
1:01
a cryptic warning. The guys here can get
1:04
pretty handsy and things get wild. Just
1:07
promise me you'll be on your best
1:09
behavior.
1:10
She'd kissed me, a hollow gesture that I
1:13
now understood as a plea for my
1:15
ignorance.
1:16
At the party, she introduced me to her
1:18
friend, Linda, who looked me over and
1:21
smirked. "So, you're the husband?" Linda
1:24
said, a sly tone in her voice. This is
1:27
going to be fun. Simone is a wild and
1:30
crazy girl. Before I could process the
1:32
comment, Simone was gone, dragging Linda
1:35
away to mingle. For 2 hours, I sat at an
1:39
empty table, watching a sea of strangers
1:40
and nursing a beer, feeling less like a
1:43
husband and more like a prop. Finally, I
1:46
decided to cut my losses and go home.
1:49
That's when I saw them. Simone and Linda
1:51
walking toward me with a group of guys,
1:54
one with his arm wrapped tightly around
1:55
my wife's waist.
1:58
Simone, with a glassy-eyed smile, kissed
2:00
me. The taste was sharp. Tequila and
2:03
something else. When I said I was
2:05
leaving, she assured me she'd see me
2:07
later at Ben's penthouse, where the
2:09
party was moving to the hot tub. In the
2:11
parking lot, she climbed into a car with
2:13
the guys. "Why don't you just ride with
2:15
me?" I asked, my voice strained. Oh,
2:18
don't be silly, she said. And just like
2:21
that, she was gone, leaving a trail of
2:23
laughter in her wake. I followed them,
2:25
my mind spinning. The moment I arrived
2:28
at the penthouse, I saw Simone in a
2:30
bikini, already in the hot tub with two
2:32
men, Ben and Dale, senior partners at
2:35
the firm. I stood frozen, watching.
2:39
Linda saw me and approached. "Hey, do
2:42
you want to get together later?" she
2:43
asked. "What makes you think I'd be
2:45
interested in that?" I responded, my
2:47
voice dangerously low. "I'm married."
2:51
Linda's smile faltered, replaced by
2:53
genuine surprise. "Oh my god," she said,
2:57
her eyes widening in a slow, horrible
2:59
realization. "You didn't know, did you,
3:02
about the open marriage?" A wave of
3:04
nausea hit me. I felt the bile rise in
3:07
my throat. "Know what?" Linda's voice
3:11
dropped to a whisper. "Simone's been
3:13
with Ben and Dale. This has been going
3:15
on since she started working here over a
3:17
year ago.
3:19
The pieces of the puzzle clicked into
3:21
place. The late nights, the cryptic
3:23
warnings, the sudden happiness that had
3:25
replaced her earlier unhappiness.
3:28
I finally knew the truth. Disgusted but
3:31
determined. I walked upstairs. That's
3:34
when I filmed the video. My love for
3:36
Simone, a steady flame for years, had
3:39
been snuffed out in an instant, replaced
3:41
by a cold, hateful rage.
3:44
I went back downstairs.
3:46
"Why aren't you in your trunks?" Simone
3:48
asked, her smile still plastered on her
3:50
face. I grabbed her arm, pulling her
3:52
into a quiet room and slamming the door.
3:55
"Would you ever have told me about our
3:56
open marriage?" I hissed. "Did you think
3:59
I was stupid?" I played the video I'd
4:02
just taken. She saw herself laughing and
4:05
touching those two men, and her face
4:08
went pale.
4:09
You plan to humiliate me? I said,
4:12
"You're disgusting."
4:14
I took off my wedding ring, placing it
4:16
in her hand. Then, with a slow,
4:19
deliberate movement, I took hers off her
4:21
finger and dropped it into her palm.
4:24
"What are you doing?" she whispered, her
4:26
voice trembling. "You're a whore," I
4:29
said, the word tasting like poison on my
4:32
tongue. "I want a divorce. Don't come
4:35
home."
4:36
She started to cry, to plead, to say she
4:39
loved me, but I just walked away.
4:42
As I left, one of the men yelled after
4:44
me. "Why you leaving so soon, bro? She's
4:47
one hell of a party girl." "She's yours
4:50
now," I said and kept walking. I drove
4:52
home, deleting and blocking Simone's
4:54
number the moment I arrived. I took her
4:57
belongings, stuffed them into trash
4:59
bags, and put them in her car. I pulled
5:02
her car out of the garage, changed the
5:04
access code, and locked her out of my
5:06
life. Over the next two days, the truth
5:10
became even more vile. Linda called,
5:13
begging me to reconsider. Then two
5:15
videos arrived on my phone from
5:17
unfamiliar numbers. The first video
5:19
showed Simone with three men in the hot
5:21
tub. The second showed Ben, one of her
5:24
bosses, holding my wedding ring while
5:26
she smirked into the camera. My hatred
5:28
for her grew exponentially. The videos
5:31
were my proof, my armor, and my
5:33
justification. On Monday, I took a brief
5:35
vacation from work, called my lawyer,
5:37
Jenny Hawkins, and started untangling my
5:40
life. I withdrew half of our joint
5:43
assets and settled her credit card.
5:46
Jenny listened to my story and suggested
5:48
a bold move, sue her employers for
5:51
alienation of affection. A difficult but
5:54
not impossible case given my video
5:56
evidence.
5:57
I gave her the go-ahad, instructing her
6:00
to have the papers served at their
6:01
office.
6:03
I wanted them to feel the same public
6:05
humiliation they had inflicted on me.
6:07
The chaos that followed was a carefully
6:09
orchestrated symphony of my own making.
6:13
Ben, my wife's lover, called and
6:15
threatened me. I immediately reported it
6:18
to Jenny, who filed a temporary
6:20
restraining order against him and his
6:22
cohorts. The next Saturday, Ben showed
6:25
up at my door, pounding and yelling. I
6:28
called the police and they arrested him
6:30
on the spot. The story hit the papers.
6:34
Hedge fund CEO arrested. I felt a grim
6:37
satisfaction. A few weeks later, Jenny
6:39
called with an update.
6:42
Simone had petitioned for marriage
6:43
counseling and the judge had ordered six
6:46
sessions. Worse, she was pregnant. My
6:50
lawyer warned me that if the child was
6:51
mine, I'd have to pay child support and
6:54
the divorce would be delayed. I agreed
6:57
to go to the counseling session, not for
6:59
a reunion, but for a final
7:01
confrontation. In the counselor's
7:03
office, Simone looked forlorn. I,
7:06
however, felt nothing but ice. The
7:09
counselor, Dr. Farnsworth, asked if I
7:11
would consider reconciliation for the
7:13
baby's sake. I pulled out my phone and
7:16
played the videos. The disgust on the
7:19
doctor's face was my only vindication.
7:22
She slept with four or five dozen men, I
7:24
told them.
7:26
She has no idea who the father is, and
7:28
you're asking me to raise her child? Dr.
7:31
Farnsworth agreed to proceed with
7:33
individual sessions. I walked out,
7:35
leaving Simone to cry over her steering
7:37
wheel. Good, I thought. Let her feel
7:41
some of the pain she'd inflicted. Moving
7:44
on. A few days later, a call from Linda.
7:48
Simone's in the hospital, she said, due
7:50
to a mishap. I felt no pity. I went to
7:54
the hospital, not out of concern, but
7:57
for legal reasons. The doctor said
7:59
Simone was 9 or 10 weeks pregnant. Still
8:02
a chance it could have been mine, but
8:04
the mishap, which had ended the
8:06
pregnancy, meant I could proceed with
8:07
the divorce. I walked into her room.
8:10
Linda stood there glaring, but I just
8:13
growled at her until she left. "Do you
8:16
really hate me that much?" Simone
8:18
whispered. "I don't hate you right now,"
8:20
I admitted. But there's no going back.
8:24
Every time you left the house, I'd
8:26
wonder if you were sleeping with the
8:27
checkout clerk. You made a mockery of
8:30
me," she cried, apologizing.
8:34
But it was too late. I said my final
8:37
goodbye and walked out. "Goodbye,
8:40
Simone," I whispered. The divorce was
8:42
quick and quiet. Simone abandoned her
8:45
objections and the judge granted it. SG
8:48
funds went under. Ben and Dale served a
8:51
month in jail for harassment, their
8:53
reputations in tatters.
8:55
Simone and Linda, a twisted pair, ended
8:57
up working in a retail store. I moved
9:00
on, dating casually, slowly picking up
9:03
the pieces of my life. Two years later,
9:06
I met Clare. Like me, she had been
9:09
betrayed and hurt by infidelity.
9:12
We started slow, building a relationship
9:14
on trust and respect, a foundation I
9:17
knew could never be broken again. We
9:19
held hands, took walks, and talked for
9:22
hours.
9:24
I was finally building a life not based
9:26
on competition or performance, but on
9:28
genuine connection.
9:30
The engineer in me had finally built
9:32
something
