I've heard plenty of stories about infidelity, and I'm always struck by either the utter banality of how it happens or, conversely, the twisted creativity of the cheater. However, the story I'm about to tell you manages to be both at the same time. It's a cautionary tale, not just for wives on what not to do, but for husbands on the dangers of indecision. A couple of years into our marriage, the intimacy between my wife and me started to dwindle. At first, I didn't pay much attention; we were both buried in work. But even when the weekend ...
The new apartment was an instant mood booster for Alice. In the glow of her new home, even the divorce didn't feel like such a catastrophe anymore.
