Why I Mentally Checked Out of My Marriage to Check into a Hotel with a Rich, Older Man
My affair with Derrick started as a spark and turned into a wildfire. After being mentally abused and physically pushed to my limits, I never imagined what would happen—I mentally checked out of my marriage and began a five month affair with Derrick. My husband was working many more hours, as he was working on expanding his business, and Derrick’s wife, Mrs. Friedman, was once again starting to neglect her husband. She became more social and went out with friends various times a week. This was great news for Derrick and I, since I spent most of my time with him when his wife was away. If my husband was home, I would tell him that I was going out with my friends, and when he was out at work, he needed no explanation.
Being with Derrick was, at first, for comfort. He supported me in times of need and was there for me when my husband packed my bags and kicked me out of the house. For months, we kept our relationship platonic, but as soon as my husband disowned me, I could no longer contain my feelings for Derrick. After our initial night of passion, I could no longer have enough of him. We would meet up weekly at a local hotel. I was uneasy going to his house—after all, there were pictures of him and his wife plastered everywhere. I needed to feel less lousy and knew that a hotel would be the perfect spot. It was wonderful being with Derrick again.
