The Secret Confessions of a Horny House Wife


The Return of Detective Curt? Haiku Friday, Week 7

Curt’s handsome head rears

Today again like a wolf

Who haunts my day dreams



Dispatch from Hell

Had the conversation last week with Husband about wanting to get divorced. 

He is bound and determined to leave and disappear from our son’s life.  I told him we would still be a family, that he could live around the corner, that he should keep his job, etc.  He says no. 

Watching him now with three-year old Spencer is like watching a dying man spending his last remaining weeks with his son.  I’m not sad for husband.  He’s a bastard.  I’m sad for Spencer. 

Valentine Dave is a wreck, leaving me drunken angry, mournful messages. 

I have a weird flu where every few hours, when my Tylenol runs out, my teeth chatter and I sweat and ache and my skin hurts. 

Looking for a job again.  I didn’t tell you, but I was offered a really great job a couple of months ago, but turned it down.  I’m kicking myself now, because I’ll need to support my household by myself again.  (I did this for a couple of years when my husband was out of work.)  I just want something close with good money and good benefits.

Quirky Ted is reconciling with his wife, but wants to continue seeing me.  It doesn’t seem like a good idea, but I like him so much I don’t want to let him go.  Maybe I can just allow myself to have him for a few months, and later, when I’m stronger, I’ll end it. 

I’ve decided married men are like in-between-meal snacks.  They make you feel full, but have no nutritional value.  And they keep you from consuming the healthy stuff.  That may be a good subject for a future post, when I’m feeling more like being smart and clever. 

Right now I just feel a mess. 



Haiku Friday, Week 6

Don’t want to Haiku

Still, it is Haiku Friday

So here you go, friends

That was very lame

We deserve better than that

Can you do better?

Things are fine with Ted

But the fever is over

We’ll see what happens

Valentine David

Broke his heart and bit his neck

He deserved better

Stop Sobbing

I am so totally over myself now.  Sorry for the self-involved, self-pitying, self-important garbage of late. 

Constance recently wrote a post about a superstitious morning ritual in which she turns on her radio, recites the phrase ”K-Rock, give me a sign,” and then interprets the first song she hears as a forshadowing of the nature of the rest of her day. 

It’s funny, because for weeks before I began my first affair (with Detective Curt), I would wake up every morning with the Pretenders song “Stop Sobbing” in my head.  I hadn’t heard it in years, yet it was number one with a bullet on my mental Top Ten.  I could almost hear Casey Kasem making the dedication:

CK: This song’s goin’ out to a little girl with a big libido.  Horny Housewife, this one’s for you. 

Chrissie Hynde: It is time for you to stop all of your sobbing…

I interpreted that relentless Pretenders song to mean that I had been feeling sorry for myself long enough: I was ready to stop behaving like a crying martyr and take the steps necessary in order to please myself.  At that moment, what I needed to please myself was hot sex with a cute, tall guy.  Chrissie Hynde motivated me to meet him.

Chrissie: It is time for you to laugh instead of crying…

 

I am also a HUGE Howard Stern fan.   Artie Lange, a comedian on Howard’s show, has a catch phrase.  It’s “waaaahhh!”  He’ll shout it out at anyone who is complaining.  So whether you’re a billionaire whining that your new Ferrari is the wrong shade of red, or you were born without limbs and can’t afford prosthetics, you’ll get a “waahh!” from Artie. 

 

So I’m giving myself a “waaaahhh!” here. 

“Waaaaahhh!  I married the wrong guy and now I’m horny and having sex with strangers and I thought I was in love again.  Waaaahhh!  Poor Horny Housewife!

I tried Constance’s radio ritual on Tuesday.  “Jack FM, give me a sign,” I said.   It was Green Day’s Boulevard of Broken Dreams.  Some of it goes like this:

 I’m walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What’s fucked up and everything’s alright
Check my vital signs
To know I’m still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

Tuesday turned out to be the day I decided I need out of this marriage.  It looks like soon I’ll be walking alone.  

So thanks, everyone, for putting up with me.  And if you catch me whining and complaining again, shoot me a “waaahh!”

A Woman in Captivity

Three-year old Spencer and I visited the zoo today, as a desperate kind of attempt at escape from sickness, depression, and obsession.  A weekend of stomach flu, fixating on Ted and his feelings for me, and then never hearing from him had just about pushed me over the edge, so I thought maybe we should get out. 

Our city’s zoo has a beautiful new gorilla exhibit.  We were looking at the old gorillas in their new surroundings when I began to mentally weigh the possibilities for such animals.  My first thought was that, as lush and clean and pleasant as this new gorilla habitat might be, it’s still so limited.  The gorillas can only wander so far before they come to the same four walls, over and over again. 

As pretty as the new habitat is, it’s really nothing like the African rain forest, where the gorillas come from.  The rain forest is vast and full of creatures of all varieties.  This zoo environment must feel so tedious.  I began to feel depressed for the gorillas. 

But the rain forest must be an uncertain place.  In the rain forest, you’re never sure where your food will come from.  Who are your predators?  What if you get lost, seperated from your pack?  Living in the zoo may be boring, but at least it’s safe. 

Suddenly I felt like a gorilla trying to decide whether to stay in the zoo (my limiting, unsatisfying marriage)  or to risk the vast, magnificent, but perilous rain forest.  The question here is “Can a wild animal ever survive in captivity?” 

Ted hasn’t contacted me since Friday night.  I sent him an e-mail this morning, but no reply.  On top of everything else, Sergeant Shane e-mailed me this morning to tell me that he “doesn’t have the time at home or at work right now to maintain a regular affair.”  Ouch.  That hurt.  Then, while I was at the zoo, Valentine Dave called me to tell me he is ”barley functioning” because of an e-mail I sent him on Saturday telling him that perhaps we should stop seeing each other.  I’m beginning to crave a nice safe restricted habitat. 

After the gorillas came the lions; their exhibit is older and even smaller. The big cats are so huge and beautiful, but their habitat is so small and dull.  I observed that they were housed right next to the giraffes, with only a brown concrete wall separating them.  Do you know what lions eat?  Giraffes.  So these poor lions live day in and day out, bored, confined, cramped, and constantly catching whiffs of their favorite snack, never to be satisfied with the taste of it. 

A handsome daddy walked by.  His wife wasn’t that pretty.  He looked right into my eyes as he passed me.  I figured I could get him if I wanted him.  I returned the eye contact, then walked past the “happy” family, out into my suburban wilderness. 



On the Road with Ted

I am entirely at sea.  I had sex yesterday with Ted, sort of, and I love him.  I know, I’m like the horny housewife who cried Love wolf, but I really do. 

I hear you laughing, Joe, as you cover your face above and below your eyes. 

I see you rolling your eyes, Constance, as you admire your own legs in the mirror. 

I’m noticing your dubious but quirky expression, Nicolasix

Elizabeth,  I hear you giggling grimly as you twirl your long blond hair. 

Terra, I see you looking down at the dirt on the ground to avoid my eyes. 

Lankrypt, you are putting my emotions in a philosophical, world religion context, then you give me some good advice in haiku form. 

Always that Girl, you take your long cigarette holder out of your mouth and blow a cloud of smoke in my face, just to make your pessimistic point. 

Everyone else, I hear your “Oh no.  She’s at it again.”  

“Where have we heard this before?” you all ask, in a sarcastic chorus from the comments section just below this post, but you already know the answer don’t you? 

I said I loved Detective Curt, but I always acknowledged that was an exotic erotic kind of love, that would never grow in the real world, only in some dark, seedy motel room. 

I said I loved Dave, and I did, but it was “Some Kind of Love,”  and even from the beginning I knew I was destined to bite his neck and break his heart.  

I never even claimed to love Sergeant Shane, so I’m off the hook for that one, although I was  a super fan of his giganto penis.  (Still am…)

But Ted. Ted.  Ted.  I love his brain.  I love his face.  I want to eat up every one of his words.  He’s quirky and funny and different.   I love his tallness and the nose and his face, which I love.  He is loving and fervent and gentle and challenging and wants me.  I can see us eating cereal together in the morning.  I can see us having friends together.  I want him to go with me to the supermarket.  Am I being an idiot?  Yes.  I know I am.

Let me catch you up, though.

His wife found out:  I won’t give you the details.  I try not to give too many details about other people’s lives here.  But she found out because Ted made a couple of the stupidest mistakes possible.  It was almost like he wanted to get caught.  If you knew the details you would agree.  Joe agreed. 

I wrote him I loved him: I thought it was safe.  I thought I’d get an “I love you too.”  An IM conversation a few days ago went like this:

Ted (12:26 AM)You have so so so conquered me
Ted (12:26 AM):  with your wit
Ted (12:26 AM):  and then later other parts
HH (12:26 AM):  it’s kind of nice to be conquered back.
HH (12:26 AM):  unusual.
Ted (12:27 AM):  but the part that makes me love you is your tender heart and that is not something i just said
HH (12:27 AM):  how can we love each other?
Ted (12:27 AM):  i know
HH (12:27 AM):  how can we be saying it on im?
Ted (12:27 AM):  well
Ted (12:27 AM):  it just gets typed
Ted (12:27 AM):  it’s a taboo
Ted (12:28 AM):  i violated it

Did I read that wrong?  Wasn’t he saying he loved me?   And then this:

Ted (12:41 AM):  i like  ~ tildes
Ted(12:41 AM):  aren’t they called tildes
HH (12:41 AM):  i think they are.
HH(12:41 AM):  what is their proper use, anyway?
Ted(12:41 AM):  perhaps that could be the name of our first child.
HH(12:42 AM):  SOOO FUNNY. I was thinking the same thing.
Ted (12:42 AM):  which?
HH (12:42 AM):  sounds like a name
HH (12:42 AM):  but i didn’t want to freak you out.
Ted (12:42 AM):  i am very bad
Ted (12:42 AM):  to say
Ted (12:43 AM):  wouldn’t it be odd if at some point in the future
Ted (12:43 AM):  i impregnated you
Ted(12:43 AM):  isnt that nice pre-sextalk?
Ted (12:43 AM):  and we had a baby
Ted (12:43 AM):  now i am going to take that all back
HH(12:43 AM):  you can’t you said it.
HH(12:43 AM):  you wrote it, which is worse.
Ted (12:43 AM):  i’m full of weird futuristic fantasies about you

So then yesterday, after the not-quite-sex, I was e-mailing him and at the end I typed “I love you.”  I pressed “send” with my eyes closed.  I kept checking my e-mail, but no “i love you” returned.  I felt like throwing up. 

Later, in our regular late night IM conversation he wrote me that when he read my e-mail, it made him feel like he was glowing.  Isn’t that a thoughtful way to say thank you, but I don’t love you?  I need to be honest with myself: if he was feeling like he loved me, he would have said it. 

I don’t know.  All of this, plus the lack of hard erection, sort of makes me feel like turning in my password to the cheating website; hanging up my corset and stockings; taking the “horny” off my name and just being The Housewife.  Yuck. 

But we all know I won’t.  It’s the exhausting, exquisite, dusty road I’m travelling.  Right now I just want to pull over and watch the other cars pass.  But I know tomorrow I’ll get back on the highway.  Maybe something good will be around the next bend.  Do you think Ted will be there?



Sex with Ted: Haiku Friday, Week 5

Wrote him i loved him
But he didn’t write it back
I take risks with Ted

Had sex yesterday
Because he so wanted to
Ted never got hard

I love his wild hair
I love his quirky humor
I love his keen mind

Friends, now I’m confused
I see my future with him
In it I feel loved

But no sex, again?
I can’t do that to myself
Perhaps viagra

So want this to work.
Am I just fooling myslef?
Give it to me straight.

Not So Clever?

Ummm, did anyone read my post “We Regret To Inform You?” 

I thought it was quite clever, yet not a single comment…perhaps I am not as clever as I think…in more ways than one…



His Wife Found Out

Ted’s wife.  We hadn’t done anything but kiss, but still.  It makes me feel sick.



The Unbearable Lightness of Being Horny

I’m in a wonderful, obsessive e-mail and IM relationship with a new man, Ted.  He’s another writer.  Strange, isn’t it?  The pattern of men in the past six months has been: cop-writer-cop-writer.  (Cue Twilight Zone Music.)

But I was just folding laundry and thinking about how much I like myself with him.  With each man, it’s been so interesting and exciting to see who I get to be.  With Curt I was passionate and sexually insatiable.  With Dave I was eloquent, funny, worldly, and tender.  With Shane I was honest and perverted.  Now, with Ted I’m smart and funny and (he thinks me) brilliant.  I wonder what else I will be with him?

I read The Unbearable Lightness of Being, by Milan Kudera about a million years ago, but it made a strong impression on me.  It’s about a womanizing doctor and his wife.  The doctor sleeps around because he likes sex, of course, but also because he is infatuated with the moment he is fucking a woman and he grasps the essence of who she is.  It’s like each woman has a different taste, and he can’t stop going back with his little wooden sample spoon to taste another flavor. 

I’m really understanding that lately. I want to taste the essence of many different men.  I want to see each one’s face when he comes.  I want to smell his breath and feel his tongue inside me.  I want to hear him grunt and breathe.  I want to feel his particular brand of electricity as he stands as close as possible to me without touching me.  I want to taste each one’s cock.  I want to see who I will become with him. 

For some reason, I think allowing myself to follow this impulse for sex and romantic relationships outside my marriage has been what has freed me to write again.  In my ridged quest for perfection, I denied myself the pleasure of sex, love, feeling wanted, and expressing myself through writing. 

The two are also connected in that they are each about giving myself permission to explore who I am and who I want to be.  It feels good: the sex, the men, the writing…  The writing about the sex and the men…  The sexing about the men and the writing…  The menning about the writing and the sex. 

See?  That didn’t even make sense, but I liked it, so I’m leaving it in.  See how loosey goosey I am?  It feels free and light.   The Unbearable Lightness of Being…Sometimes lately I feel like I might float away.

Back on the Stuff

So I’m back on the stuff.  Got a new profile on the Married-People-Cheating Website, and have made a few connections:

  • Peter – Attractive attorney.  Very smart, sure of himself, egotistical (in a sexy way).
  • Ted – There is a way that I could describe him to you in one sentence that would give you the exact picture of what he looks like.  Unfortunately, it would be so right-on that if his friends or family (or wife) read it, they would know he is cheating.  So let’s just say tall, cute, funny, quirky, smart. 
  • I am also in correspondence with a couple.  The guy is, well, a guy, and his wife is bi-.  Might be interesting…

Sergeant Shane is great, but rarely available when I am.  Valentine Dave is wonderful, but the sex isn’t.  Curt is out of the picture.  (I’ll update you another time on that.)  So I’m feeling horny and have no one to turn to…

HH
