All four couples went home, each with a new perspective on what to do in order to save their marriages, or in some cases walk away. Trish sat in the kitchen waiting for Randy to return. She had settled Tyler into bed and was now stuck in a train of thoughts. Vanessa had made some really good points earlier and Trish really needed to talk to Randy before making any final decisions.

In some ways it was laughable. Trish didn't know of any other married woman that had to really think before allowing her husband to touch her. She closed her eyes as a stray tear fell down her face. She loved Randy with all of her heart but trusting him again had proven to be a very difficult task that Trish wasn't sure she could do.

Hearing the door open, Trish prepared for Randy to walk through the kitchen. Once he spotted her, he placed a soft kiss on her cheek before setting down across from her on the island.

"Hey." Trish smiled softly as she looked at Randy. She looked deep at him, past the physical and was reminded of all the reasons why she loved the man. He was not perfect by any means, but he had proven his love for Trish was genuine and if she wanted to make her marriage work, she had to stop punishing him and herself.

"How was seeing the girls?"

"Well it was definitely interesting." Trish proceeded to tell Randy of the day's events, ending with Paul overhearing Stephanie's declaration of infidelity.

"Damn, I would have never expected that one."

"Join the club. It was just bizarre. I mean, if anyone seemed like they had a solid, honest marriage, it was Steph and Paul."

"I guess we never truly know our friends."

"I guess not." Trish absent mindly played with her wedding band as she thought of what to say. "Randy, I want to be able to make love to my husband without having thoughts of another woman."

Randy sighed harshly. "Trish, I don't know what else to do. I have tried everything in my power to prove to that I'm not stepping out ever again. I fucked up big time and I understand that. I also understand that trusting me is very hard for you. I don't want to make this all about sex, but intimacy is a big part of a relationship. If you can't allow me to touch you, I don't know how much longer we are going to be able to hold things together."

"It's just so hard for me. Forgiving you was the easy part. It's letting you back in fully that I have such trouble grasping."

Randy moved from his spot to gather Trish in his arms. "Stop over thinking it so much. Nothing is black or white, especially our damn marriage. I know that I love you and you love me. I know that I will never intentionally hurt you again the way I have done before. I now know that there is nothing more important to me in my life than you and Tyler and I will spend the rest of my life trying to fix the fucked up thing I did, but you have to let me in, baby, cause I can't do this for nothing."

Trish looked up at Randy and nodded. Quietly she took his hand and led him upstairs to their bedroom. Standing in the darkness with the moonlight shining through their room, she couldn't stop herself from shaking. Randy was gentle with his kisses and his words spoke with such love that Trish couldn't stop the tears that were flooding her eyes.

She felt like a virgin all over again, as Randy's hands became refamilarized with every part of Trish's body. He gently ran his fingers along her belly while he placed soft kisses along her collar bone. For the first time since Sam, Trish took Randy's advice and stopped thinking so much; instead she relied on her feelings. By doing so, she was finally able to fully give herself to her husband, something she so desperately wanted to do.

Several hours later, the pair laid in bed wrapped up together, both enjoying the first real sleep they had in months.

Lisa walked into her house with caution. She never could quite tell what she was going home to anymore. Sometimes Athena would be there, causing more havoc and mayhem. Then there were other times that Dave was home alone and things were even more awkward as the married couple fought for something to say to each other.

Walking into Dave's office, she found him sitting at the table, surrounded by paperwork. He didn't even notice her there until she sat down across from him.

"Hey. Whatcha doin'?" Dave looked up and offered his wife a quick glance before looking back down at his papers.

"They are separation papers." Lisa could stop the wide eye look that she had. "Look, Lisa, I love you. I wouldn't have married you if I didn't, but Athena is my daughter and the love I have for her goes beyond any love that I can have any woman."

"So you want a divorce."

Dave shook his head. "No, you do. No matter what I have done over the past few months, whether it was convincing you that Vanessa is just a friend or trying to have some peace between you and Athena. I just don't know what to do anymore. I want to make things work but I can't do it on my own."

Lisa went to open her mouth but Dave quickly silenced her. "I know that I need to be more strict when it comes to Athena but I guess I have a lot of guilt from the way things ended between me and her mom and the way she is now. I know that she is lashing out because she is still so angry with me leaving to wrestle and her mother being strung out. I thought by sending her away to school would do her good, but the only thing she really needed was her father and I wasn't there to give her that. I just don't know how to draw the line when it comes to her.

But the one thing I can't do is turn my back on her again. Not even for the sake of my marriage. I want to make things work but I can't do this on my own."

Lisa sat in silence as she tried to fight back the tears. Was she really ready for a divorce? Was she ready to give it all up? Dave stood up and sat on the desk in front of her chair. He placed a manicured finger on her cheek to catch a stray tear.

"I didn't sign the papers. I can't because this isn't what I want. But if this is what you truly want, if you are ready to throw in the towel, then sign the papers. I won't fight you, I will just let you go, but don't ever think that this isn't because I didn't love you. It's because I love you so much, that I am willing to give you anything you want, even it means a life without me."

Dave left the office, leaving Lisa to her thoughts. The next thing he was going to have to do was harder than he was prepared for. He took a deep breath as he headed to his daughter's room, preparing himself for World War III.
