A Perfect Life

The reasons

I am not writing this myself. I have finally convinced someone to do it for me. She promised to post it on the Internet, but only as fiction. I suppose it is a bit unbelievable.

It all started with the best of intentions.

I had married my love while we were still in college. She was beautiful, brilliant, and fun to be with. We married and lived together under very 'hand to mouth' conditions. There was never any disposable income to buy anything but the barest necessities.

I would tell my lovely bride, "One day honey, I'll make enough money that you won't have to work. You will only have to stay at home and be beautiful. I will be able to hire maids and handmaidens who will wait on you hand and foot. You won't even have to dress yourself. The only thing you will have to be ready for is occasional sex with your horny husband. I'll see to it that you have only the most beautiful clothes, the sexiest underwear, and the body you always wanted." That last part was really, the body I always wanted her to have, and not the body she always wanted. I assumed that she would want to look so beautiful that I couldn't keep my hands off her. What a jerk, eh?

Well we were both getting high honors in our respective fields. I was getting an MBA in manufacturing. My lovely bride was getting her Doctorate in genetic engineering.

We both graduated about the same time. I got work at a major aerospace company. Kylynn started work for a startup company out of the east side.

Oh, I didn't tell you my name yet! I am Vernon Spencer Solman. At least I was.

The Night Before

Okay on with the story.

We were finally making some money although we were both spending far too much time apart, but that is how it is with two career minded people. I was putting in many extra hours to advance my career so that I could provide for my lovely bride. I worked my butt off for that company.

Then it happened, peace broke out and I found myself laid off, no job, and no future, just another manager sitting at home whilst his wife's career is going great guns. She seemed to move up in her company's organization on a daily basis. Kylynn was beginning to bring in enough money that it was embarrassing the hell out of me since I was temporarily without a job.
