He did it to you again (6)
The rest of that day was like no other day you'd had -- certainly not like any previous day since you got married. Indeed, the way things were happening was almost surreal to you, so much so that a few times during the day you almost felt like what was happening was actually a dream -- a nightmare really -- rather than real life.
Throughout the day, your wife did things with your friend, and the two of them acted as if they were now a couple, while you were a visitor, or perhaps nothing more than the hired help. At the end of breakfast, for instance, they simply got up, and your wife said to you that they were going upstairs to get showered -- and then she laughingly tagged on the word "together" as she took his hand and gave him a kiss. You, meanwhile, were left with the task of clearing their dishes from the table and doing the rest of the post-breakfast cleaning.
Then, late in the morning, as the two of them were sitting together on the couch chatting and laughing -- and being affectionate with each other -- you overheard his say to her, in a stage-whisper tone of voice "Any interest in going upstairs with me for a quickie before lunch?" and then you heard her answer, again in a whisper, but one that was clearly audible to you "Mmm. A great idea." But before they actually headed upstairs, your wife got up and went over to where you were sitting, gave you a sisterly kiss on the cheek, and said "We're going upstairs, hun. But we shouldn't be real long -- and will probably be ready for lunch as soon as we get back down -- so maybe be ready with lunch in about an hour?"
All you could say at that point was "Yes -- of course. I'll try to have things ready for you then." Your wife then gave you another little kiss on the cheek and said "Thanks sweetie. You're being such a good and generous host for your friend." At that point, your friend -- who was now at the foot of the stairs, with his hand out to guide your wife upstairs, actually doubled over with laughter, and through his laughs you could hear him say to her "Yeah. A very generous host. Definitely. That's really what he's good at being. Even back in college he was always ... very generous." And then he double over in laughter again as the two of them walked hand in hand upstairs for a little late-morning "delight".
You did your best to have lunch ready for them when they came back down -- and, as expected, you prepared and served it -- and then you were left with all of the clean-up duties. In the afternoon, the two of them went for a long walk together, and when you made moves to go with them, your wife said to you that "I think it would be better if you stayed here hun". Then, when they returned, they sat out on your deck and your wife simply called out to you to bring them something refreshing to drink, but avoided any hint of inviting you to join them outside. And when they sat inside, they sat together on the couch, so that even when you joined them, you had to sit off to the side on a separate chair -- but when you did that, they paid little attention to you while being very obviously very wrapped up in each other.
In mid afternoon, when you had a few moments alone with your friend, you made one final plea to him to leave, but again he just laughed, and then asked you whether you truly love your wife.
"Well, then" he continued "don't you want her to do whatever makes HER happy? If you really love her, like you say you do, then I would think you'd be more than willing to sacrifice for her -- even if that means stepping aside and being supportive while she spends time with another man." And then he laughed again as he said "And in this case, I'm that other man."
One way you coped with all of this was by thinking about the fact that they would be going out to dinner, so you would have the relief of not having to watch them being affectionate with each other all evening, and might even be able to stop thinking about how humiliating and painful this whole weekend had become.
But even that did not turn out the way you'd hoped. Just before they were about to go out, your wife told you "We're going to that new Thai restaurant. And we're meeting my sister and her husband there, and then after dinner we'll be going to listen to music at that bar that you and I have gone to so often -- and I think the plan is to meet up with some other of our friends there. In any case -- we might be quite late, so don't wait up. But it would be really nice if you could do something for us this evening. The bedroom actually needs some straightening up, and it would also be nice if you put fresh sheets on the bed for us. You don't mind doing that, do you hun?" Then she gave you a little peck on the cheek and the two of them left.
