New to DB - Need Help! Pt 2

[MrBond]

Gladly! Sorry, I've been debating things on the MB site and it's been quite... amusing.

Well, let's see, children. For those who don't know my story, my W's OM was her boss. About 25 years her senior. Over time he would buy my W gifts like spa treatments, clothing, jewelry, etc. and I noticed the gifts getting more elaborate each time. I asked her if this was "normal" and of course she just said he was generous to everyone, that he was a good man, blah blah blah.

So anyway, after I found out about the EA, my W left, but continued to work for the OM. After about the 3rd year, I get a call from the Receptionist at my work place saying that a friend of my boss' was here and that my boss recommended he talk to be to discuss a project. My boss does that all the time so I didn't think anything of it.

I go to the front office and it's a guy who is a pastor of a large church here and, lo and behold, my W's boss is with him. I greet them and lead them into the conference room and the pastor introduces himself and as he's about to introduce (we'll call him Dr. Douchebag), I tell him, "I know who he is. He's the guy who cheated with my W."

The pastor then proceeds to tell me that he is there to get me fired because of things that were written on the internet about Dr. Douchebag. I had no idea what he was talking about, so I told him so and that he probably didn't know what his friend did. I tell him that my W has told me the truth about everything and that he should get his facts straight. The pastor (we'll call him Pastor Pen*s) then tells me that it doesn't matter what happened and that he's going to get me fired.

As I'm talking to Pastor Pen*s, the Dr. Douchebag isn't saying a word. Then when I mention my W told me everything, he spoke up and asked WHAT?! What did she tell you? So I told him that she told me everything about how she and he kissed and how they both said they had feelings for each other, etc. Meanwhile, Pastor Pen*s tries stopping me and says, it doesn't matter what happened, your W's just crazy.

At that point I stopped. I can't explain it but an overwhelming feeling of calm and strength came over me. Maybe it was God or a Guardian Angel, but something inside me told me that everything would be okay.

So I looked at Pastor Pen*s square in the eye and tell him to NEVER call my W crazy. That she was brave enough to tell me the truth and that his "buddy" is the liar and just covering his @$$. The Dr. then calls me a "coward" for not confronting him at work about it. And I said, "and what would that accomplish? My W would get fired and my family would be in turmoil. I said he was the coward for not keeping it in his pants (he cheated with others in the past) and to go back home to his W. Now keep in mind, he is also an Elder in their church.

I told them that while I loved my job, my family was more important and that they could try to get me fired if they wanted to. They were a little shocked because I called them out and they repeated that they were "serious". I then walked up, got the phone, picked up the receiver and said i would dial my boss' number for them if they wanted.

During this time, a large crowd had gathered outside the room because we have glass windows. One of my friends came in and told them that they knew what was going on and the Dr. and Pastor had to leave.

The Dr. asked how did they know what was going on, and I said, quite loudly to the crowd that EVERYONE knows who he is and what he did because I had nothing to hide. I told him that I told all my coworkers, my friends, people at bars, at the bus stop, etc. And then I told the crowd, "hey everyone, this is the guy who cheated with my wife!".

They were both embarrassed and told me to continue the conversation outside. I again looked them dead in the eye and told him, "no". That we were DONE and that he should enjoy retirement in his old age with his W and that he should pray to God for forgiveness. That he meant NOTHING to me and that I would always be the better man. Incidentally, I forgot to mention that during the conversation I asked the Pastor if Jesus would approve of him coming over and trying to destroy my family. He said Jesus has nothing to do with it. Nice.

By then they were flustered and I held out my hand to shake the Pastor's hand and with a wide grin I told him it was nice to meet him. He looked disgusted and walked out. I escorted them out and as we passed the Receptionist, I told her, "hey by the way, that's the guy I told you about who cheated with my wife."

Afterwards, I called my boss, explained to her what happened and she called the Pastor Pen*s and Dr. Douchebag both idiots. That she knew them casually but was definitely not a friend and that she would have my back.

And that was that.

Oh and the thing that was written about the Doc online? It seemed as if he was bragging to the hospital staff about how he was a former Navy Seal, and said so again in the OR. Someone on staff contacted the Navy on line and asked if this was true (guess they got tired of his bragging), and the Navy replied that no one with his name was ever a Seal.

So he lied.
