Reassessing My Life - Pt. 1

... afflicted by a sudden onset case of baby fever.

I held firm, and she relented, or so I thought. But then I found out that she hadn’t been getting her birth control pills refilled. We rowed about that, and I insisted on using condoms, which chilled our bedroom for a week or so. The condoms still pissed her off, but she eventually settled down.

Something just wasn’t right, though. Kim was acting completely out of character from how she had previously; she’d never, as far as I knew, lied to me about anything, and certainly not anything as big as birth control. The little voice started to whisper quietly again, and I was beginning to think I’d made a mistake marrying her.

She was partying more, too, a lot more, and going by herself if I couldn’t make it. This coincided with a stretch of crunch time at my work, so I didn’t initially worry too much. I didn’t want her to be bored and resentful, and I knew she had an active social life both before and after we got together. She was still affectionate with me, and she invited me along, so I wasn’t worried that there was something untoward going on.

But then I had lunch with Cassandra one day; she had been traveling, first for training and then for an on-site client audit, and we hadn’t gotten to hang out since Kim had gone off the rails.

Mom basically had nothing to offer the world besides being pretty and a decent cook, and she was so worried that Dad would leave that she got pregnant ASAFP.

“Then, once he was stuck, she cheated on him; or maybe vice versa, maybe she cheated on dad and got pregnant, then convinced him Kim was his. I’ve wondered before if she was actually my sister, and I think Dad did, too, but he never really wanted to know, you know?”

I nodded unhappily. “So you think she’s, what, trying to get knocked up so I won’t leave?”

“Yeah. And maybe– fuck, I hate to say this, because I really thought she’d changed– maybe cheating on you since you’re not giving her what she wants. Then she’ll force an oops with the condom, or maybe sabotage one so it breaks, or whatever.”

My appetite gone, I shoved my food away. “Well, that’s fucking great. So you think she’s just following your mom’s playbook?”

She shrugged. “Maybe. I mean, maybe not; maybe she just wants to have a kid with you. She really does seem to love you; I’ve never seen her act like this with anyone else, the way she dotes on you. And maybe her going out to parties is just her blowing off steam. I hope that’s all it is. But… I dunno. Sabotaging her birth control? And going out to parties solo like ...
