"Down the Path We Have Chosen"
2016-08-06 @ 2:25 p.m.

Nny has chosen, or has been chosen, to walk the path of adultery again. As the t-shirt says, "Adultery: the key to a happy marriage." Said t-shirt happens to be hanging in his bedroom right now while most of his clothing lies haphazardly stacked on the ground, which has led to all kinds of consternation these last couple of days as he was searching for dress clothes to wear as part of his Joker cosplay to go along with his friend Devin's "Daddy's Lil Monster" Suicide Squad Harley Quinn. Not quite enough consternation to actually hang the clothes rail and hang them, but if he had the time, he might have.

Anyways, the shirt, the message, the adultery: In January, Nny went on an eight hour trip to visit some gamer buddies he'd met on Facebook to play a game of Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 as part of the birthday celebration for the guy who be Dungeon Master for this one shot. While he was there, one of the other guys showed up, with his unbelievably beautiful wife. She was supposed to play, but she's new at it, and her husband hadn't made her a character. So she spent the rest of the night playing on her phone, messaging her friends, and, unbeknownst to Nny, trying and failing to avoid eyefucking him the whole time.

Nny spent the rest of that gaming session turned towards the DM and trying to avoid eyefucking her back. Nny hadn't driven eight hours to try to steal someone's wife while being outnumbered by the husband's friends and not knowing the lay of the land. Little did they know that their love at first sight was mutual.

Eventually, her family situation and finances led her, and her friend as well, to join the Air Force Reserves as a way of bettering their situations. Both of them really wanted to go active duty, but their significant others were both loathe to move or make any such changes or concessions.

Nny had broached the subject, offering his experience in the army to lend advice to the both of them. The friend has since ceased to pursue the service due to medical and/or other reasons, but the original woman, the one Nny is blissfully head-over-heels in love with, she ships out in just over a week.

Now, via Facebook, Nny had thought her marriage was quite strong, as they had been going on many and varied date nights to make up for the time she will be at basic training and her job school. Looks can be deceiving, however.

Just over a week ago, the 27th of July, after Nny had hosted his trvia night gig (would trivia by any other name, still be just as obscure), she'd messaged him regarding being nervous about basic training after he'd commented on one of her posts of shipping out soon.

While conversing, Nny's ex, the girl who got away, the one he's spent far too many years tragically obsessed with and comparing all his other romantic prospects against, had sat down across the bar from him, with one of her "countless lovers," and had waved at him to get his attention. Nny mentioned that one of his exes had arrived. He then had taken a bathroom break, and then he left.

Well, he went to leave anyways. Said ex was outside smoking, which Nny had figured was the case when he saw that they were missing from their seats.

Incidentally, the shirt was created by a guy that dated Nny's ex after he had, with whom Nny had moved in with for over half a year before going to work at Cedar Point. There's much more to that story, but I digress. Although, suffice it to say, the ex did ask about the creator of the shirt, now that he's returned from his brief move to Florida. And, no, the shirt hasn't been worn since the last time Nny was in an infidelity/adultery situation, several years ago.

Anyways, after a not so brief friendly conversation with the ex and her guy, then just the guy when she went back in for another drink, and then with the two of them until they left for the night, Nny resumed his textual conversation. She had told him she knows how rough it can be running into exes and had given a bit of an example, and she had also quipped that he should show the ex a picture of her and say something along the lines of "She's cute, but I haven't quite made up my mind about her."

Conversation shifted to issues of infidelity, and how even with her wedding ring on, she could solicit a guy for sex or offer to give him a blowjob, and he wouldn't turn it down. Nny was convinced this was just a way of putting him into and/or keeping him aware of his just friends status. Again, little did he know.

She then went on to tell him about how her husband hasn't been fulfilling her needs, which with her going to be gone from August through December, he should be all about...

Allow me to interject one of Nny's pressing concerns in this particular matter:

He has no way of knowing to what extent this is accurate and how much of it might be a tale woven to ensnare him. There's always at least three sides to every story. In this case they are the husband's, the wife's, and the truth.

But Nny is hopeful, and he is willing to take things at face value. Why you might ask? Because Nny pulled the same shit on his ex he'd dated and lived with, off and on. He was no longer attracted to her, if he ever had been, as it was unfortunately a matter of convenience that their relationship started, meeting as coworkers at Walmart. So Nny had just remained emotionally and physically closed off until she was all but forced to find another guy, taking the burden of ending the relationship out of his hands.

But, lessons learned. Along comes this beautiful woman who Nny could never imagine taking for granted in any way, telling him how she's being taken for granted. How she had all but thrown herself at her husband after leaving the shower, still naked and dripping wet, and his reply was along the lines of "That's nice. I'm playing this game on my phone. I'm tired. I have to be up early for work." At which point he went to sleep and began snoring.

She and Nny continued their conversation long into the night and morning. At some point she had sent Nny a couple of risqué photos of herself, but, while they certainly turned him on, he was still trying to be a gentleman. Eventually, she came clean with him that she had a crush on him from the moment she laid eyes on him. This, Nny could certainly relate to, what with how many people he's unfortunately crushed on over the years, and because the feeling was mutual.

She sent him more and more revealing pictures, that she had initially sent to her husband as an invitation, that he had declined with more of his "That's nices". She requested pictures in return. Nny was very, very hesitant, to say the least.

They continued chatting via messenger for hours, so long so that her husband had even gone to work. At which point they began to talk via phone call. Her voice, the stories they shared with each other, their mutual affiliations of their shared desires for one another, finally convinced Nny to send her what she wanted. During the intervening week, they would exchange many such pictures, their confidence and their feelings for each other only intensifying with every passing day.

Nny trusts her like he hasn't trusted anyone in such a very long time. Nny loves her like he hasn't in a very long time, either. And, thankfully, the feelings are mutual. Nny is wary, but he's also of the mind of nothing ventured, nothing gained. He wants to be the man she needs, in every way. w Whatever it takes, he wants to make this relationship work.

Their constant refrain is, "Where have you been all my life?" That is coupled with "You're something I've found that I didn't even know I was looking for."

Nny needed to get all of this out of his head, but now he needs to go to sleep. He has a d6 Fantasy game session to attend around noon until the time he has to be at work. As he remarked with Dustin and RJ, two fellow gamers who run in the same circles and who have opened a comic shop where Nny and Devin wandered into while cosplaying as the Joker and Harley Quinn, respectively, it's weird playing a role-playing game during the daylight and then going to work. Usually such games have been experienced by each of them as either all day or all night pursuits. Not something that can be scheduled and kept to a time limit.

^^That was an example of procrastination in action. Goodnight.
