No More Sweetheart

There’s a difference between being loved and being used.

“Please, sweetheart, it was nothing. You have to believe me.”

“Amanda, listen to yourself! How can you stand there and tell me that? I just witnessed my wife having sex with another man in our bed!” Todd screams, as he walks out the bedroom door.

“Wait…wait, where are you going, sweetheart?”

“Look, enough with the sweetheart nonsense. I think you and I both know who your real sweetheart is. Your sweetheart better be lucky that I’m a man of God, otherwise, you and he both would be together forever…six feet under.”

“It was just a one-time thing. It was nothing…you have to believe me.” Amanda cries, leaning on Todd’s chest.

“Save the drama for your Mama. I don’t have time for this. After all we’ve been through, and after all I’ve done for you. This is how you do me? I’m out of here.”

“No! Sweetheart, come back! Please…oh, God…please, come back!”

Todd walks out the front door. The next door neighbors are pretending to do yard work but, as usual, they’re just being nosy. Keeping his composure, Todd gets into his car, drives out of their driveway, and notices the man that just had an affair with his wife.

Surprisingly, the man has driven to the end of their block, parked his car, and is attempting to put his clothes on in his car. Todd pulls over and parks behind him. As a precaution, Todd puts his brass knuckles in his pocket, without any intent on using them, then gets out of his car.

“Todd, Todd…look, man…I’m so sorry. I didn’t…”

“I don’t want to hear it. All I want to hear from you is that you’ll let me return that brand new car to your dealership, and that I’ll get a full refund. You and I both know I bought that car for my wife, but since she’ll no longer be my wife, she no longer needs the car that I paid for.”

“Sure, I can make that happen. Just meet me at the dealership tomorrow morning.”

“Scott, do you really think I want to meet with you? Make this happen, but make it happen with someone else at the dealership. I’ll be there tomorrow morning at 9 am, and I want my check for the full amount that I paid. There should be no problem, since I bought the car less than a week ago. I’d hate to cause a scene inside of a luxury car dealership.”

Todd walks away. Before he gets into the car, Scott quickly drives away. Todd sits in the car, takes a deep breath, and starts to reflect on all that happened in the last hour.

To come home and find his wife in bed with the man that sold him a new car less than a week ago. The very thought of seeing this stranger having wild sex in your bed with your wife and, shockingly, seeing your wife doing things she’s never done with you.

Amanda always agreed she wanted to have children, but told Todd she’s not able to get pregnant, and wanted to talk with her doctor about the issue. Given what just happened, Todd thinks Amanda’s been on birth control, among other things.

Before going home, Todd called his attorney to schedule an appointment for divorce proceedings.
