A cautionary tale for every middle-aged man: part 6

My wife's younger, prettier boss was ten years younger than me and had the best bedroom eyes. I noticed this married girl was stopping by our house more frequently when I was home, usually before I'd have to go to work in the late afternoon. As with any girl hotter than my wife I always wanted to bang her but didn't think I had a chance with her.

One thing led to another and this girl propositioned me. Talk about making a 41-year old guy feel good; it feels great when a 31-year old girl wants you and your body. Everything inside me was yelling, "Hell yea!"

Here I am married to a lumbering behemoth and along comes a skinny sexy thing that can make a bikini look good; you damn right I'm hooked. But this was doing nothing but reinforcing unrealistic expectations that I gained from listening to guys like Tom Leykis. Where I thought I was desirable — economically I was — but really I was only the flavor of the month for this girl. I just didn't see the truth of what was right in front of me.
