Phone recording
My boyfriend and I have known each other for a long time but only really got together a few years ago after his marriage broken down. Things were going really well and then during lockdown a professional colleague introduced him to a woman. She’s a mental health & child psychologist and runs a charity. He was looking for a career change into the charity sector as well as advice on how to deal with his depression and reconnect with his kids who haven’t spoken to him since the divorce. The idea was that she could help with all these things. She seemed very supportive to both of us at first, but I started becoming suspicious when she would WhatsApp him constantly and phone him in the evenings and weekends.
Whenever I questioned him, he would say that they were just good friends, had to speak a lot because he was helping her with her charity and that anyway she was married with kids and he had learned his lesson from his divorce (his wife left him because he was cheating on her).
I also asked her directly a few times what was going on and she promised me she was committed to her marriage and they were just friends.
The contact between them seemed to lessen, but something kept bugging me and I started wondering if he was just calling her when I wasn’t around. I’m really, really not proud of this, but one day I left my phone in his car with the record button on. The below is there conversation.
When I confronted him, he told me that I was blowing everything out of proportion. They are just good friends having a laugh, she’s a married mother, nothing physical has happened between them, he loves me and our relationship is the most important thing to him in the world. Despite everything I still love him and want to believe him and give him another chance but don’t know if I should
Him: Hello
Her: I was hoping it was going to be you. Are you on your own in the car?
Him: Yes
Her: I was just laid out on my sofa here thinking of having sex with you.
Him: Really? Why were you thinking about that?
Her: Really don’t know why. Boring past time clearly
Him: Boring past time?
Her: Why do you think? Why do you think I would be having thoughts like that? Go on. Why? You were turning me on that’s what you were doing. So, tell me how was your day today?
Him: So, hang on. You can’t just change a subject like that.
Her: Ok. Alright. Go on
Him: So, what did you do about it?
Her: How far in were we?
Him: You tell me.
Her: We were about an hour in. But we were still at foreplay
Him: I see. So, what did you do about it?
Her: I just laid back and enjoyed every single minute. Well, I gave as good as I got obviously. But do tell me about your day
Him: You are getting me aroused now. So, how’s your day been?
Her: My day’s been ok actually
Him: Sounds like the last hour has been quite fun
Her: Yes, it’s been great. I mean it could be better – I mean rather than just lying here thinking about it.
***
Him: Am I going to be part of your research? What methodology would you use on me?
Her: Case studies. Yes. Face-to-face interviews. Lots of. I might then lose the transcripts and have to go back and do again obviously. Right? Anyway, we are not going there because we are just good friends
Him: We’re just good friends
Her: But I’m allowed to dream right?
Him: You bet. You better.
Her: I do. Lots of. That’s the problem.
***
Her: And there is no question. If my son found out I was having an affair. He would have no time for it whatsoever. He wouldn’t understand.
Him: Well. You are not having an affair.
Her: I know - and I won’t. But… anyway. Whatever.
***
Her: So, I’ve been working hard and am now taking a few days off. That’s why I was just laid out on the couch. Thinking about you. It’s bloody making me undone.
Him: I’m glad you could fit me in.
Her: I can fit you in. Let me tell you. Every time I am opening and closing my chakras I’m thinking of fitting you in. Making sure it’s nice and tight. Working on my pelvic floor.
Him: Jolly good
***
Him: So, I guess you and I need to talk about work - I am facilitating the session and need to get you to a position that you feel most comfortable in.
Her: So, hands around your neck, is that a good position? How comfortable are you with that?
Him: That’s a very good position. And how are you with my hands undoing your blouse?
Her: Very comfortable with that. Depends - what your other hand is doing. Where’s your other hand?
Him: The back of your neck
Her: What about lower down?
Him: We’ll go there later
Her: So, we have established our position
Him: Then I unhook your bra
Her: I might not be wearing one
Him: Hang on. I lick your breasts. Is that good?
Her: Yes. That’s really good. Though this is going into the realms of phone sex so let’s not go there
Him: Not while I am driving at least. But you said you didn’t know anything about phone sex
Her: I don’t
Him: You are clearly a practitioner
Her: I’m not. I’m just in the hands of an expert
***
Him: Yes. It would be lovely to go for a drink after the meeting. Is it going to be one of your drinks down a darkened alley?
Her: No. Because we have put the genie back in the bottle obviously. But I’m not going to be sitting across from you for however long without feeling your arms around me please. At least just have a hug. Be held by you please?
Him: I’ll bring the corkscrew
Her: Why?
Him: For the genie’s bottle
Her: To put it in? Take it out?
Him: Take it out. Uncork it.
