Janet. She was the picture of a model wife. She had supper cooked for me when I got home, kept the house tidy, raised our two kids while I was at school for 60 hours a week, then again when I started working and opening my business pushing hours and working late. But she was always there to keep my head above water. We got together when was seventeen and she'd just turned sixteen. She was a cheerleader I was a football star in our high school. Things were great. Until six months down the road into our relationship, a condom broke and we found out we were going to be parents.

I can still remember that day as clear as ever. I had picked her up for a date, I promised her daddy I'd have her home by twelve and drove her out to our favourite restaurant Lil' Joe's just a few miles from my house. The whole ride there Janet hadn't said much, but I figured she was still sick from that morning. She'd told me on the phone earlier that day that she was throwing up, but was feeling well enough to go out with me. Which I was thankful for because I was head over heels for this girl.

She looked beautiful. Dressed in her waist-high acid washed jeans and half tucked one size too big t-shirt. Her light brown hair pulled tight at the top of her head with a few strands framing her face. I was just a dumb teenage boy with hormones galore who thought dating the head cheerleader was the best thing ever. Which it was, I can't tell you how many times I got high fived in the hallway for just dating Janet Walker, let alone getting Janet Walker pregnant.

She and I had just finished eating and I was just about to reverse out of the parking spot when Janet grabbed my hand and told me those two words that changed our lives forever. I can't remember much after that. I had to give myself a day to process it all before facing her again and when we did we agreed to keep the baby. We knew that her parents would have a good reaction so we had already had it set up so she would be ok to stay at my cousin's house with me.

It took four years, two kids, and one wedding for her parents to finally come around and like me. But I think now they finally see the appeal in me and the fact that if they wanted to see their grandkids, they're going to need to get along with their father.

So, as I said Janet was amazing. But not long after Eric was born, something had changed. It had nothing to do with her, not with her body, her looks, her emotions and attitude. No, something had changed with me. Just last night, with both kids away. Morgan at Maddies and Eric at his friend Brian's house for the week helping them build a deck in their backyard, Janet was surprised me with a little gift.

I made my way up the staircase in our two-story home just after dropping Morgan off when I noticed all the lights were off in the house, Sam was sleeping at the top of the stairs and there was a flickering glow coming from our bedroom at the end of the hall. I knew what this meant and I tried to prepare myself for what waited for me at the other side of the threshold.

And of course there she was, my beautiful wife, laying horizontal on our big king-sized bed with a purple see-through nightgown on and little pair panties underneath, the bed had roses on it and candles were lit, she even went as far as to break out a bottle of wine.

And there I was, standing there looking at a half-naked Janet, every man's dream woman and just wishing that she was asleep instead of ready to have sex. But with all her hard work I couldn't say no to her, so with a swift kiss on the lips I excused myself to the bathroom quickly and dropped my pants trying to think of something to get me going. After five minutes of trying to get it up, I was finally ready to go back out to my wife.

And the guilt of not finding her attractive anymore ate me alive. There was nothing more on this earth that I wanted then to find Janet as good looking and as sexy as I did when we were teenagers. After we had finished Janet fell asleep with her cute little smile on her face her head beside my chest as her hand laid across me. And I was stuck there, lying awake for another two hours in pure agony of what had just happened. I had been having to get myself going before sleeping with Janet for years now. She wasn't someone who was big on four play, and if she did want to try something new, chances are she wanted to try it out on herself because I'm a man and anything a woman does to herself should turn me on -- should.
