fuck—I mean she was my size, she came at the right time, it was<br />

great there for years. But then when she started fucking everybody,<br />

I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t get any advice from the<br />

church and all I could get out of the law was that I should divorce<br />

her, but what about the kids? They didn’t want me to go, even<br />

when they knew what she was doing. She even talked with me<br />

about it. When I complained about her screwing everybody, she<br />

gave me this lecture about how it wasn’t an easy life. She said<br />

in the hallway he began to kiss her and put her hand on his cock<br />
