It’s amazing how the facts of what one observes don’t always match what a person wants to believe, no matter how obvious the observations are.

I came home one day to find my wife and a plumber taking a shower together in a newly renovated bathroom. That alone should have been enough to confirm that my wife was cheating on me. However, her explanation of the situation convinced me of something different, at least temporarily.

The water had been off in our house for two days. The renovation work was only supposed to last one day, but the project got a little more complicated because of some old pipes that needed to be replaced. Therefore, we were had no water for 48 hours, which was inconvenient, especially with having to get ready for a formal function we needed to attend in the evening of the second day. We only have one full bathroom in our house and we both were in need of a shower.

I was supposed to get home around 6 p.m. My wife called earlier in the day and said the plumber told her he’d be done by 4 p.m. His estimate was correct. However, I got home earlier than expected — around 4:30 p.m. I tried to call my wife to let her know, but she didn’t answer, so I just came home since I was only about 10 minutes away and didn’t want to play phone tag.

Here’s what I saw when I walked into our house.

The bathroom door was open and the shower was running. I walked to the bathroom doorway and saw my naked wife and the plumber in the shower together. Her back was to him. He was about 18 to 24 inches away. They were not touching or even that close. He appeared to be semi-hard but not erect.

I watched for about 30 seconds. They remained relatively far apart the entire time, when suddenly my wife saw me standing at the doorway. She quickly shut off the water and grabbed towels so they could both cover themselves. The first words out of her mouth were, “It’s not what you think!” Seemed like a cliche. What else could it be?

In anger, I walked away and went into the kitchen. My wife quickly followed, wanting to explain. Here’s what she told me:

She said that the plumber told her that it would be best to put as much weight on the new shower floor as possible to make sure there weren’t any leaks in the caulking. She also said she wanted to shower before I got home and that the plumber had gotten a substance in his eyes that was burning. The combination of checking for leaks, the plumber’s burning eyes and my wife being in a hurry to shower and get dressed for the function we needed to attend that night led to both of them getting in the shower at the same time.

I know that sounds totally unbelievable, but she told the story so convincingly that my brain just seemed to want to believe it rather than accept the fact that my wife might have cheated on me.

The plumber left the house quickly, looking a bit scared that I might punch him out. But it was really my wife’s lack of judgment that was angering me. How could she be so loose with who she got naked in front of and also invite him to do the same? That disconnect between her excuse and the lack of common sense was upsetting and made me wonder if she had done stuff like this during other times in our marriage. She is flirty and friendly — a free-spirit type. But I never saw her cross any lines before that would feel like a betrayal.

Somehow over the next few days, I had convinced myself that my wife did not cheat and was only guilty of a strange decision brought on by a weird set of circumstances. It wasn’t totally out of the realm of possibility that she, with her personality, would do something like that, so I let it be and we went on with our lives.

About a week later, I was emptying a trash can from the bathroom. As I was dumping the can into our larger bin, a used condom appeared. I don’t use condoms with my wife, so there was only one explanation. My wife fucked the plumber and then probably showered with him to wash away the evidence. He was also married and likely wanted to clean up before going home.

I confronted my wife. She said it was a one-time, spontaneous thing that never happened before and never would happen again. The punishment I gave her was to explain to me in detail what happened and how it happened.

So apparently the plumber had been getting much more chatty with her on the second day. She said he made her laugh. He was about 10 years younger than she is, which would have put him around 30. She was feeling a bit messy having not showered in two days. She wore loose-fitting white workout shorts, flip flops and a black tank top, with no bra. For her, going braless is fairly common, as she is not very well-endowed up top, and often goes out even in public without a bra. Her ass and smile are her best features.

Still, I am sure the plumber took note of her being braless. What he didn’t know until later was that she was also apparently without panties. I asked her why she was bare underneath and she said that she didn’t have any clean panties because she hadn’t done a wash in over a week. Probably another lie.

The plumber came onto her in the bathroom as she was sitting on little stool we have in there. He walked over and rubbed her shoulders. She said she resisted at first but ultimately gave in. She didn’t have an explanation as to why she submitted but assumed that this guy had done this before with female customers. In fact, when she insisted he use a condom, he had several in his toolbox.

They fucked on the plush area rug on the bathroom floor. He took her from behind at first and finished in missionary position. My wife said it lasted just 10 minutes or so. She said she immediately felt a rush of guilt and asked if she could use the shower now. He turned the water to the house back on and asked if he could join her in the shower. She said to make it quick and that he would have to leave soon as I was coming home within an hour or so. They were in the shower for just a couple minutes when I walked in.

I am still with my wife, but the trust has not returned and may never return. However, I must confess that the fact that she did this is kind of a turn-on for me. Her being that impulsive and sexually stimulated provides me with a new take on her. What might she do next? Would I actually be open to suggesting a threesome or to let me watch her with someone? These are things I never considered before but do now.

This is a true story and it happened about two years ago. Some folks my think I am being naive or should have left my wife. I would enjoy reading any comments you might have and would be happy to share a clothed pic or two of my wife if you want.
