Chapter 19

“Fatboy, I just want to be trusted.”

“I trust you Fatboy.”

“I don’t mean you, you plonker. I want a woman who believes in me, in my loyalty.”

“Ok...... Why?”

“When I try to work out what went wrong with my marriages, the one thing they have in common, is lack of trust.”

“Is that your fault?”

“Why should it be my fault?”

“Cos you made ’em feel that way, you bozo?”

“Nah, that’s crazy! I actually commit fully, absolutely, which is a lot more than most blokes do. The thing is Tim, I’m not faithful because I’m afraid of being caught out, or because I’m being monitored, or controlled, or restricted, or interrogated, or suspected, or anything like that. I’m faithful because I want to be, I choose to be. Does that make sense?”

“Yeah, I suppose so bruv.”

“That’s why I’m so frustrated, and unsettled. I feel misjudged. I’ve never been remotely interested in having an affair or a one-night-stand, but obviously, there is a flip side.”

“Which is?”

“That I expect to be trusted, just like I trust them, but not everyone can do that. For me, being committed doesn’t mean that you can’t talk to other women, or to be friendly with them. I’m a chatterbox. I like talking to people, especially women. The bit I can’t abide is the constant irrational interpretation of innocent stuff as evidence of guilty intention. A suspicion that you’re up to no good, that you’re always hankering for a bit of extra. I want to be trusted. I deserve to be trusted, but I won’t be trussed up like a mummy.”

“So what you sayin’? If you speak to another woman, the missus presumes you want to rip her knickers off, bend her over, and do her from behind?”

“Exactly! Why are they like that?”

“Because most blokes are like that.”

“So we all have to be tarred with the same brush?”

“Yep. As far as they’re concerned you’re a bloke, and you think through your dick.”

Pablo mused thoughtfully.

“It’s just so unfair and sad. Love can’t be complete without trust. I always trusted both of them, absolutely, no questions asked, and that enabled me to love them absolutely.”

“Yeah, but bro, you were wrong about Delilah. She was doing a bloke for two years behind your back.”

“There’s no need to bring facts into this Fatboy. I’m transcending into the sublime here, exploring matters of the heart. Attitude. Morals. Integrity. Ethics, not brutal, unavoidable, hard-nosed facts.”

“Ok bruv. Sorry. I went off point there.”

“Anyway, I was right for thirty years.”

He hesitated, thinking, then resumed..

“At least, I believe that I was, and that helped me love her absolutely, even when she was doing another guy.”
