Reply To: Wife admits she loves us “differently”

Thursday night,Linda told me that she would be going to Dean’s place straight from work on Friday. Something that she has never done. Fridays have always been a kind of, family night, for us. Occasionally, Dean has been over for a dinner or sometimes they’d go out to a movie or event. But she’s always spent Friday nights at home. Dean staying over on most of those occasions.
She said the tension between Dean and I was getting to be to much and she wanted an extra night with him and to get everything straightened out.
She has totally accepted her submission to Dean, but it’s not something I’m totally on board with yet

I sent her a text Saturday morning to see how things were. No answer. Several texts more throughout the day also went unanswered.
I considered calling her in the evening, when she finally replied to my messages.
It was a simple. “Stop it. I’ll see you Sunday.”
Sunday evening finally arrived. It felt like the weekend was an eternity.
Dean followed her home and they came in together.
She immediately told me, “Thank Dean for the wonderful weekend he provided your wife.”Um.. Ok. Weird, but “Thanks Dean for the great weekend you gave Linda.” They looked at each other kind of odd. Linda said, “You don’t use his name. It’s sir to you. Try again.”
I tried again and that brought a smile to them both.
He stayed a bit for drinks and snacks which I served him. Remembering to thank him for everything I did for him.
After he left, Linda took a shower and got ready for bed. When I joined her, she told me that there were now ground rules for me.
Our lives had changed without me even realizing this was about to happen.
