I think I may have shot myself in the foot this time. Not a word from Eric all week. No text, no emails, no calls, no nothing. I’ve been just as bad, I suppose, since I haven’t got in touch with him at all.

 

After our date last week, and the awkward conversations, I had a few words with friends and acquaintances. Since many of the members of the Loving Links forum have been in this extramarital affair scene for longer than I’ve been alive, I sought their advice. The overwhelming response was that the question posed to me – about cheating on Eric since I am cheating on my husband – was immature and unreasonable. There’s no way I can guarantee that I won’t cheat, and Eric is unrealistic thinking that way.

 

 I understand what they said, but I can’t completely agree with it. Yes, I’m naive, but I could see me asking the same thing if the shoe was on the other foot. My best friend knows what is going on in my love/social life, and she’s even helped me pick out dirty underwear a few months back knowing full well my husband wouldn’t be seeing it. Her take on it was similar to mine. I was upset, but I couldn’t find a way to avoid the issue.

 

So we are going out tonight – to a club, as unattched women. I just sent a text to Eric saying that I’d love to meet up with, but I can’t see him responding or even showing up. I’ve packed a backpack full of slutty clubbing clothes, got half a bottle of wine down me, and I’m about to leave the house to grab the bus to my friend’s place. I’m looking forward to playing out like I did before I was married, and seeing what falls into my lap.

Who knows, maybe I’ll end up with an extra marital one night stand in my near future?
