0:01

0:07
on someone innocent someone who really
0:09
doesn't deserve it
0:11
yeah I'm there right now
0:15
for the past few weeks maybe even months
0:18
my head has been a battlefield i've been
0:20
debating arguing with myself crying
0:23
those silent internal tears about
0:25
whether I could actually go through with
0:26
this conversation
0:28
but the verdict it's a yes still every
0:34
fiber of my being is screaming at me to
0:35
run for the hills dave he's going to be
0:39
absolutely crushed and honestly it kills
0:42
me but over the last 15 months with John
0:45
here by my side I've slowly almost
0:47
unknowingly fallen in love with him and
0:50
the tough truth is every piece of love
0:53
I've given John it's been chipped away
0:55
directly from Dave the moment I felt
0:58
like I was cheating just by making love
1:00
to my husband that's when I knew this
1:02
day was coming i've been preparing for
1:05
this conversation ever since am I
1:08
looking forward to it no not even a
1:11
little bit but do I anticipate a massive
1:14
wave of relief once it's over absolutely
1:18
i'm about to hurt Dave in a way that's
1:20
profoundly unavoidable
1:22
but once it's done I can finally stop
1:25
the charade no more pretending to be
1:28
madly in love with Dave even though he
1:30
clearly still is with me no more fake
1:33
girlfriend's nights out or work trips
1:36
that were actually just secret rendevous
1:38
with John it's been so incredibly
1:41
stressful the worry lines etched deeper
1:44
on my face every morning
1:46
yeah that's why i desperately need this
1:49
release i just need to make sure
1:52
Yep the baseball bat's still there
1:55
dave's always been pretty vocal about
1:57
fidelity
1:58
especially since the kids moved out he's
2:00
been binging these crazy short stories
2:02
online about cheating wives getting well
2:06
consequences
2:08
some of them were seriously intense with
2:10
husbands reacting in really fierce ways
2:13
when I asked him about it he just
2:16
shrugged said some of his colleagues had
2:18
gone through nasty divorces because of
2:20
no fault laws
2:22
he's not a violent guy usually but when
2:25
someone's stealing his happiness his
2:26
future i don't know he might just make
2:29
an exception okay here we go that's his
2:33
car my stomach's doing flips my heart's
2:36
pounding deep breaths Chelsea deep
2:39
breaths i wonder what he'll think about
2:41
John's car being here he's probably read
2:44
a scenario just like this in one of
2:46
those stories
2:48
he notices I'm not getting up to kiss
2:49
him
2:51
he shakes Jon's hand then rubs his own
2:53
on his pants i know that gesture all
2:55
these years the air in here is so thick
2:58
it feels like it's going to snap like a
3:01
branch pushed past its limit i can't
3:04
look at him my eyes are just darting
3:06
around anywhere but his
3:08
he's wearing casual clothes when did he
3:11
start coming home dressed like that no
3:14
Chelsea focus this is it the moment I
3:17
shatter the soul of a truly outstanding
3:19
man a great dad a provider a nearly
3:22
perfect husband
3:24
my first love but not my last he's so
3:28
calm coldly analytical better than me
3:32
even though I've played this out a
3:33
thousand times in my head my nerves are
3:36
betraying me i'm trying to soften the
3:38
blow it's not working
3:41
i even confess how scared I am to tell
3:43
some of our friends how they might never
3:45
forgive me for hurting him still nothing
3:48
just a statue
3:51
his words are simple but they cut right
3:52
through me his gaze is like he's staring
3:55
into a microscope examining something it
3:58
breaks my composure
4:01
i have to look away again my god the
4:04
kids amidst all this chaos my affair the
4:07
end of my marriage I hadn't even
4:09
considered them his lack of reaction
4:12
it's terrifying my eyes flicker to the
4:15
baseball bat again the silence is
4:17
suffocating i have to fill it my
4:19
carefully rehearsed speech is gone he's
4:22
so direct i just can't i'm out of lies i
4:26
respect him too much to lie anymore and
4:29
my silence that's all the confirmation
4:31
he needs there's nothing left to say no
4:34
point in apologizing again i know I'm
4:37
hurting him he knows it and the air in
4:40
this room it's dreadful my nerves are so
4:43
tightly strung my skin is prickling i
4:46
just want out of here this is This is
4:49
not how I pictured it this is completely
4:51
unexpected a kick to the gut from left
4:53
field i feel insulted no questions no
4:58
accusations no raised voice no red face
5:02
no tears after 28 years my husband isn't
5:05
even going to spend 5 minutes
5:07
questioning me months of agonizing over
5:09
John sleepless nights dreading this
5:12
exact moment and I've been discarded in
5:14
under 10 minutes with no emotion
5:16
whatsoever
5:18
i have to say something but I need to be
5:20
careful
5:22
how do I break through this without
5:23
losing John it's a fine line it's an
5:26
answer but not the one I wanted before I
5:30
can even ask another question he
5:31
continues he's right i do but they're in
5:36
John's car we seriously didn't think
5:38
we'd get past the yelling and tears
5:40
tonight let alone him looking at papers
5:43
jon stands up and leaves i can feel the
5:46
tension radiating from him too my heart
5:48
goes out to John dave looks at me his
5:50
face red realizing he's not exactly
5:52
covering himself in glory i try to tell
5:55
him with my eyes that I don't care that
5:57
I love him dave watches me his
6:00
expression still unreadable i'm not even
6:03
sure he won't attack Jon i'm confused
6:07
dave's words about the difference
6:08
between an artist and a pizza they echo
6:11
in my mind what's the difference between
6:14
an artist and a pizza a pizza can feed a
6:17
family
6:18
is John really going to be able to feed
6:20
a family this silence is agonizing
6:24
john's face he's actually listening to
6:27
him i need to get Jon out of here
6:31
dave just shrugs i collapsed back onto
6:33
the couch stunned angry offended is this
6:37
really what he thinks of me has he
6:39
harbored these thoughts all these years
6:41
i'm looking at him now like I've never
6:42
seen him before
6:44
this man my husband of 28 years the man
6:49
who held my hand while I gave birth to
6:51
our children the man I nursed through
6:53
the flu the real flu the one where you
6:56
can't lift your head the man who nursed
6:59
me through morning sickness and an
7:00
emergency the man I should know like the
7:03
back of my hand who I should be in tune
7:05
with notice every tiny change in but
7:09
there was nothing no change i'm sure of
7:12
it i'm staring at a stranger my husband
7:15
of 28 years is a stranger to me i
7:18
thought I was so clever so careful such
7:20
a good actress but Dave he's so much
7:23
better he knew and he hid his knowledge
7:26
from me how how could he hide it so well
7:30
if he truly loved me if I had truly
7:33
loved him would I have been able to hide
7:34
it so well but clearly I didn't hide it
7:37
well at all dave knew for months i look
7:42
at him but it's not him from here and
7:44
now it's him from 2 weeks ago undressing
7:47
me gentle loving cherishing a lie he
7:51
knew i think about how hard I worked to
7:53
respond to hide my guilt how careful I
7:57
was to make sure my expression was
7:58
loving responsive
8:01
the tears I suppressed silently
8:03
apologizing to John while reciprocating
8:05
Dave's touch his kisses
8:08
pretending I desired to make love the
8:10
stress the battle against the urge to
8:13
recoil the shame when my body betrayed
8:16
my heart and climaxed
8:18
i had to resist leaping from the bed
8:20
immediately after wanting to wash his
8:22
scent off me lying sleepless beside him
8:25
while he slept apologizing to both men
8:28
i've lied and betrayed both of them days
8:30
and nights similar scenes my heart
8:33
pounding not from love or lust but from
8:36
fear of being caught anxiety over the
8:39
lies stress over my performance the
8:42
thought of my deception being exposed
8:44
all for nothing dave had known for
8:47
months i've been scared editing every
8:50
word conscious of every facial
8:52
expression nerves stretched to their
8:54
limit exhausted from hiding my betrayal
8:56
and shielding Dave from hurt keeping
8:58
track of my lies sleepless a mental
9:02
wreck all for nothing did he love me at
9:05
all ever how long has he been pretending
9:09
a month 4 15 28 years all those things
9:12
he said to John all those awful things
9:15
is that what he truly thinks of me i
9:17
look at him i want to cry he's dryeyed
9:21
it's me fighting tears me nauseous from
9:24
rage and rejection i reach for the glass
9:27
of Chardonnay wanting to douse the
9:28
flames rinse the bitter taste from my
9:30
mouth it tastes sour he didn't wait for
9:34
me we won't be walking out together four
9:37
years later I can't remember a single
9:40
article a single ad probably no loss the
9:43
content's probably ancient yep 3 years
9:46
old you'd think a doctor's office this
9:49
big could afford current magazines i'm
9:52
just flicking through waiting for my
9:53
name to be called still takes a second
9:57
even after 4 years I'm not used to being
10:00
called Mrs smith instead of Mrs brown
10:03
inside though I'm smug
10:07
john and I have been fighting about him
10:08
getting a vasectomy for months why
10:11
should I keep chemically poisoning my
10:12
body when he can have a simple procedure
10:16
it's not even an operation not in a
10:18
hospital this good doctor right here
10:21
could do it unlike my non-chemical
10:24
option which would be to have my tubes
10:26
tied i've brought that up more than once
10:28
up more than our last argument about it
10:30
he mentioned he had the MS as a kid so I
10:33
asked him to get his sperm tested i
10:36
thought finally a win i can go off birth
10:39
control if his count is low but the
10:41
stubborn guy refused
10:43
so I was just as stubborn while still
10:46
fuming about his harsh words I secretly
10:49
salvaged some of his seed and sent it
10:52
off for testing oh yes I stored it
10:55
correctly turns out John doesn't just
10:58
have a low sperm count he's sterile no
11:01
sperm at all initially I was flushed
11:03
with victory i was going to confront him
11:07
but then common sense kicked in i wanted
11:10
a happy husband again not a sparring
11:12
partner i wanted love making not just
11:14
the release of attraction
11:17
and somewhere along the line I
11:19
remembered the inconvenience of monthly
11:21
bleeds i like not having to deal with
11:23
menstruation
11:25
so a replacement implant it is it won't
11:28
be forever after all oh sorry could you
11:32
repeat that wow sounds like something
11:34
off Star Trek what about side effects
11:37
i'm not going to end up the size of a
11:38
barn am I or grow whiskers and is it
11:41
like implanon where most women stop
11:44
bleeding altogether vanguardian i know
11:47
that name that was someone's pseudonym
11:49
on the amateur writing site where Dave
11:52
was reading all those stories about
11:53
cheating wives a coincidence
11:57
there's a clause in his old company
11:59
contract i remember him mentioning it
12:00
once they owned all his research and
12:03
inventions even if he worked on
12:05
something at home in his own time he
12:08
couldn't patent it for 12 months after
12:10
resigning
12:11
research and innovation
12:13
that was Dave's forte i see him now
12:17
seated on the couch with me and John his
12:19
faded jeans that casual polo shirt i
12:23
remember the shock of our meager savings
12:25
when we divided assets his insistence on
12:28
keeping that framed photo from the
12:29
Caribbean cruise taken 3 months into my
12:32
affair with John my hands dropped to my
12:35
lap the implanon
12:38
i had it inserted weeks before that
12:39
cruise at Dave's suggestion to avoid
12:43
inconvenient monthly disruptions during
12:45
our vacation i felt so touched then to
12:48
have such a considerate husband i look
12:51
back at the clinic I'm at now it's a
12:53
different one from my previous doctor i
12:56
changed doctors and clinics after
12:58
separating from Dave because our old
13:00
doctor Dave's doctor was a friend of his
13:02
father's the one who inspired Dave to go
13:05
into medical research continuing with Dr
13:08
black would have been too awkward dave
13:10
knew about John he must have known from
13:12
the start and somehow
13:15
he convinced Dr black to implant a
13:17
device he developed a Vanguardian mine
13:20
had a GPS locator and the ability to
13:22
record voice files it feels illegal
13:27
i don't recall consenting but I signed
13:29
something i must have i should sue Dr
13:32
black i didn't know what I was signing
13:35
he's retired living in Brazil apparently
13:38
his much younger wife is from there can
13:41
he be extradited from Brazil german war
13:44
criminals fled there in Wafu because of
13:46
no extradition treaty why develop an
13:49
implant with GPS and recording abilities
13:52
surely not just to track me my mind
13:55
races military yes military something
14:00
like that would be incredibly useful for
14:02
them i remember Dave was involved in
14:04
developing something for diabetic
14:06
soldiers regulating their sugar without
14:08
daily injections so a GPS locator and
14:12
recorder not much of a leap my mind is
14:16
swirling with possibilities
14:18
around the time of our cruise or shortly
14:20
after Dave must have quit his job no
14:23
wonder our savings were low he had us
14:26
living off it i never checked i used my
14:29
credit card dave handled the bills was
14:31
the cruise photo a momento of his
14:33
resignation dave framed it himself could
14:37
it have been the scanner for the implant
14:39
surely not but deep inside I know that's
14:43
exactly what it was that's why he
14:45
suggested hanging it in the hall by the
14:48
coat rack and why he opposed me having
14:51
it he knew I might reframe it or give it
14:53
to the kids who might have discovered
14:55
its true purpose the enormity of how
14:58
I've been deceived it leaves me stunned
15:02
it seems so unbelievable
15:04
like something from a Jason Bourne or
15:06
James Bond movie but my gut my gut
15:09
insists it's true all of it it feels
15:12
like there's a vice tightening around my
15:14
chest making it hard to breathe no
15:17
wonder he didn't seek revenge in the
15:19
divorce he had already done it at least
15:21
financially
15:23
and I can't do anything about it dr
15:26
black is likely beyond reach and Dave
15:28
being Dave probably secured my signature
15:31
on a consent form to make matters worse
15:34
it's been almost 4 years since Dave and
15:37
I finalized our divorce while I'll
15:39
receive a portion of his retirement
15:41
funds I suspect the millions he earns
15:43
from Vanguardian are funneled through
15:45
corporations and I won't see a penny i
15:49
touch my arm where the new implant lies
15:51
i can't even confide in John things are
15:54
already shaky at home without me
15:56
revealing how thoroughly my ex-husband
15:58
deceived me now Dave lives in the
16:01
Algarve the kids rave about his
16:04
beachfront villa though we rarely talk
16:07
in a days I pull into the driveway of
16:09
the small run-down cottage I share with
16:11
John i can't even recall the trip home i
16:15
hope I didn't run any red lights the
16:18
last thing I need on top of today's
16:19
revelations is a traffic infringement
16:21
notice so what
