After lunch, Randy and Jill headed to the main area for their session. Seth and Kaylee decided to walk the grounds while Roman and Roxy headed to the lake.

"Okay, in this session, Randy, we are going to have you talk about your reaction to Jill's affair and get your opinion as to why it started." Ted said once they were seated.

"Alright." Randy replied.

"So, Randy, how do you think the affair started?"

"I work a lot of hours. I have too. Women count on me to be there for them when they have a baby." He started. "I also know I have a temper. Over the last year, Jill and I have been arguing more. We seem to fight about everything. So I think that is why I was spending more time at work."

"Jill, what do you say to that?"

"We were fighting about everything. He never tried to see my side of anything. It was always his. I felt neglected by him and the amount of time he spent at work."

"Did you ever talk to him about that?"

"No, because I knew it wouldn't make a difference. Randy is his job."

"Did you know how demanding his job was before you married him?"

"I did but I thought he would make time for me."

"Alright, Randy, what led up to you coming home and finding Jill in bed with Chris?"

"I noticed how much time she started spending at work. She seemed to do every after school activity, I thought anyway. She would talk about how Chris understood and how he thought her class was this and that. I just sensed something more was going on. I asked her about it and she said nothing was going on." He replied. "One day I got out of work earlier than I thought. I headed home and saw a car in the driveway that I didn't know. I walked into the house and heard noise coming from upstairs. I quietly walked up them and walked into my bedroom." He said looking at Jill. "And saw my wife on top of this guy riding him like there was no tomorrow."

"And what happened next?"

"I got very angry and I yelled. Jill quickly got off him and was trying to explain. There was nothing she could do to explain that. I pulled him out of the bed and I punched him." He said trying to remain calm. "What was I suppose to do? He was fucking my wife."

"Jill, do you have a response?"

"He had no right to punch Chris. That was not the way to do this. He could have really hurt him." Jill replied. "I know I shouldn't have had Chris to our house. I know that. But I can't change that I fell for him. I wanted to be with him."

"Do you still want to be with him?" Randy asked her.

"I want our marriage."

"But do you still want him?"

"I still have feelings for him. But I want our marriage." Randy sighed. She never answered his question. She just did what she alwas did, she dodged it.

"Alright, I think we made some progress today. We will continue tomorrow and hear from Jill." Ted replied. "You guys are free to go."

After they left, he motioned for Miranda to show Roman and Roxy in. He felt the other couples were making progress and he really saw that Seth and Kaylee's marriage had a good chance of being saved while Randy and Jill's marriage was more challenging. He felt that maybe Jill didn't really want to save her marriage.

"Alright, Roman, Roxy. I want us to start with Roman. I want you to go through what led up to your affair."

"Alright. Roxy and I were both working a lot of hours. I was busy with divorce cases and she had a big trial. I found myself spending a lot of time with Noelle. She is my law partner. We had always got along and we would talk while working on the case."

"How did the affair start?"

"We were working late in my office going over some depositions. We both leaned down to get a file and ended up kissing. That kiss lead to sex that night. After that night, we would meet at a hotel room a few times a week. It was nice to be with someone who wasn't always stressed about their job or anything else that was going on. I liked how fun Noelle was. I had fun with her." He sighed. "I just needed that."

"Roxy, what are your thoughts on that?"

"I know I was working late on the case but it was important. And Roman and I weren't spending the time together. I just didn't think he would cheat. I thought he would talk to me first about things." She sighed. "I thought we had a great marriage. But I was wrong."

"Roman, do you have a response?"

"Nothing is perfect. I felt that she was more focused on her job than me. We drifted apart and I found what I needed in someone else." He turned to face her. "I'm very sorry that I cheated but I was unhappy with things and Noelle made them bearable."

Roxy sat there not sure what she wanted to say. "If you were unhappy, you should have talk to me. We could have talked it through."

"I didn't think we could. We were distant with each other and focused on our jobs and other things." He looked at her. "We were so far apart. I just didn't think we could talk about anything."

"Roman, do you feel guilty for the affair? Do you feel remorse?"

"I feel guilty. So guilty. I love Roxy, I do. And I can't change that I cheated. But I do regret that I did. It was a mistake. It's just the opportunity was there and I took it. I was unhappy in my marriage and I was tired of being unhappy. Tried of feeling alone."

"Do you still feel that way?" Ted asked Roman.

"Yes. I don't think we are happy."

"How can we be? You cheated with that blond whore. You choose to be with her. Do you want to be with her? Would you be happy with her?"

"Roxy, I love you and I want our marriage. I know we can be happy again."

"But do you want her? Just be honest. Do you want her?"

"I don't deny that I have some feelings for her."

"Stop dodging the question. If I asked you to stop being around her, would you? Would you ask her to leave the practice?"

"I can't ask her to leave until I have someone buy her out or I get the money to buy her out. She is my law partner. I can't change that right now." He looked at her. "She can sue me if I do that."

"Well I guess that is my answer. He won't stop being around her." Roxy looked away from her husband.

"Why don't we stop here and tomorrow we will have Roxy tell her side." Ted said to them.

"Alright."

"Okay, you can go back to your room or look around. We will see you back here in two hours for another group session." Roman and Roxy got up and left. They both knew therapy wouldn't be easy but both were seeing how unhappy they were.

Ted and Miranda watched as Roman and Roxy left the room. Ted turned to his wife. "So, what do you think?"

"I think they all have issues to work through. Yes, the infidelity was the main one but there are other issues too."

"I agree. Well, let's go to our room and relax before we do the next part."

She smiled and took his hand. They headed upstairs to rest. The next part of the group therapy was role playing.
