My husband Francis and I are very successful together. Both in out marriage and our careers. We met in college. It was my first time away from home and had only had two boyfriends my senior year in high school. The first week there, my dorm roommates took me to a frat party... a lot of things I don't remember, but the next day I was dating Jace, one of the guys in the frat. He was arrogant and crass and not very smart (not classroom smart, that is) but he was athletic and handsome and, yes it's a cliche, but the "bad boy" my two HS boyfriends were not. He was my "first" for many things that you can imagine that happens with dating a guy in a frat. A lot of things that I mostly haven't done after the three months as his girlfriend and then met Francis. I was losing control of myself to Jace (and certain other things) and after something that I think almost happened during one of the parties where I also met Francis. He was so sweet and nervous and a gentleman that I knew I had to stop being who Jace was wanting me to be and be who I wanted for Francis.
We've been married 25 years. Francis is very very intelligent and a computer engineer who designs accounting software for hotels and restaurants. He actually started his own business and it became so successful that I could see he needed someone to organize and maintain the client side of things and that's how I'm the Directing Executive of Sales and Marketing for our company.
Lately, though, things have become a bit... I'm not sure how to say it. We attend a lot of elegant parties and upper class events socially but mostly related to business. Everything from our company holiday occasions to more exclusive client and potential client invitations as well as yearly conventions and awards. It was at one of these conventions that certain things first happened that I didn't notice then, but over the most recent months, have occurred in different ways I was unaware of or that I may have ignored despite and because of my husband's behavior and increasing comments (all of which will be revealed, but not through Q&A) and led to an embarrassing exposure at a recent elegant event.
Part of our company's success is from my role as Directing Executive of Sales and Marketing. I won't bore you with everything, but put it this way: Francis's talent is with computers and code and numbers. Mine is people and parties and socializing with our clients and staff and even our competitors. Which means I have to always present myself in an image of success and confidence, and yes, a little sexy. When Francis and I go out to dinner with a client or potential client and his wife, I'm the one who keeps the conversations from pausing. (And no, I've never gone to dinner alone with a clients we have or we want. That's not to say, for example, Francis and I are always at each other's side at every event or party or convention... which is how things - I should say how certain persons - caused the deliberate and accidental effects leading to everything.
