    hell into your life.” “Maybe. I hope you’re right. So you and Elaine…?” He sighed again, squaring his small shoulders and gathering himself. “We’re okay. But the thing was, he was there, filling some emotional need for her when I was preoccupied with my work. She assured me it wasn’t anything physical, despite the fact that he as a much larger man – and, as I was so unfortunate to see, quite generously endowed, something which I am not.” “Ummm…” He laughed. “Too much information? Yes, I suppose it is.” He shook his head, chuckling; I was amazed at his resiliency, that he could find humor in any of this. “We have these hang-ups, we men do, that our woman is going to seek out another man that is bigger, stronger, more well-endowed - a superior physical specimen – perhaps because we are sometimes that shallow ourselves, and it preys on our insecurities. It certainly did for me, for a time.” He paused, and when I sat silently, not knowing what to say, he finished his thought. “But no, Elaine made me see that was not the case, at least not for her; it was just that he was there to listen to her, to pay attention, to hold her. He was there for her, and even if it was just a cynical ploy on his part to get in her pants, he was there when I was not. You’re not making that mistake with Allison. I think you’ll be fine, Dave.” He rose to his feet and turned to leave. I stood as well, and reached out to shake his hand. “Louis, thanks for that – and for your trust. I’m not entirely sure ...
    that telling me your wife had an affair when I’m worrying about the very same thing is the best approach, but I do understand what you’re saying. Thank you.” He smiled. “I suppose that’s true – sorry, my friend, it was meant to reassure you; your situation is nothing like mine was. You two are so very close, so in love and in tune with each other. I envy you that; I wish I’d been more like that early in our marriage, and perhaps none of this would have happened.” I walked him to the door of my office. “Well, you somehow survived; you love each other very much, that’s clear, and you have two great kids. That’s what matters.” He paused with his hand on the door knob. “Yes, it is – and we do love each other. It took time, David, and a lot of work, but we made it. I was able to forgive her for what she did, but…” he frowned, and then sighed, “I was never able to forget, nor will I be. I’ll carry that memory and that image to my grave, David; don’t let that happen to you, my friend.” “No, I don’t intend to. Thanks again Louis, I appreciate your concern, and I’m sorry you went through that.” I shook his hand again at the door, and clapped him on the shoulder, each of us holding the other’s hand for a moment longer than necessary in silent communication of our feelings for each other. After he’d left I sat at my desk for a long time, my mind running over the things he’d said, mental images flashing through my head. I could only imagine the shock and pain he must have felt at that ...
