Disconnected: I Cheated at a Concert #SorryNotSorry
If someone can be taken away from you, they weren’t yours anymore. I was so disconnected, my husband so complacent, when Karl came along my body begged to be his.
My fifteen-year-old son and his friend, Will, wanted to go to an Ozzy concert that was, of course, three hours away. My husband was not a fan of the drive or Ozzy. So I thought that was the end of it.
“Hey mom,” my son asked, his buddy right behind him with a shit-eating grin.
“What’s up?” I asked, finishing the dishes.
“Will’s dad said he would go, so like he can help drive.”
“Go? Oh to the concert, I don’t think…”
“What don’t you think?” my husband said, making an entrance.
“Dad, Dad. Will’s dad will go to the concert, if mom helps him drive. So can we go?”
“I don’t think we have the money right now, son,” my husband said.
“What if Will’s dad paid?” my son argued.
“I don’t think that would be fair to him. I…”
“My dad already bought all the tickets. We just need gas money and your van is pretty new, right? We don’t have a car,” he said. I got the impression that he was lying through his little teeth.
“Ok, well. I guess, if my wife goes, I could lend the minivan. Are you on board, dear?” he said, but his nose was in his phone on the way to work.
“Yeah, sure. I’ll even pack my sexy lingerie,” I said. Nothing, I knew then he was totally in work mode.
“Ok then. See you guys later,” he said and took off for work.
“Sexy lingerie, Mom?” my son asked.
“I was kidding, to see if your dad was even paying attention. I’ll have to remind him later again that he said yes. Now, Will, you probably need to figure out how to get your dad to buy the tickets, or it will be a short trip,” I said and smiled at them. My son ran off, but Will lingered.
“Oh, getting him to buy the tickets will be a snap when he finds out you’re driving, and let him know about the sexy lingerie,” he said and winked.
What the fuck. My mouth dropped open. Then he followed my son.
